New 15” multimedia LCD from Hitachi delivers
both video and computing functionality in designer metallic colors



CML155V


Westwood, Mass ––  January 23, 2002 –– Hitachi America, Ltd., a subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (NYSE: HIT) has created a new multimedia LCD combining computing and video functionality into one compact, space-saving display. Furthermore, the new CML155V LCD is the first in Hitachi’s new Designer Décor series featuring a two-tone metallic silver and blue finish to present a sophisticated, designer look in a space saving 8.1-inch deep package (including the base). 

Hitachi has designed the CML155V to deliver both A/V and computing functionality in one compact design. It provides high quality, distortion free text and images with both analog and DVI-D inputs for computing applications, while supporting S-Video and RGB composite inputs for video applications. These multimedia inputs enable easy connectivity to Computers, VCRs, camcorders, computers, DVD players or other multimedia devices. To further increase functionality the CML155V enables active switching between two different inputs. So, for example, a computer and a VCR can both be connected to the display and a user can switch back and forth between these devices through the CML155V’s on-screen menu.

“Users are demanding integrated functionality from electronic devices at the same time they want sleek, stylish designs that fit into their décor. This need is becoming more prevalent as computers and displays move out of the office and into living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, etc. The ability to use the CML155V for both computing and video requirements is critical to business and home users with limited space or for designer homes and offices that want to retain a streamlined, stylish image. Our new CML155V meets these needs with an elegant, high quality display that is also an excellent general purpose monitor.” stated Leslie Bishop, marketing communications manager. 

Compatible with either PC or Macintosh analog inputs, the CML155V has a .297 mm pixel pitch. It delivers 300-nit brightness and a 500:1 contrast ratio critical for video performance and enabling stunning computer images with a prime resolution of 1024 x 768 at 60 Hz for both analog and digital inputs. The viewing area is a full 15” (304 x 228 mm) with minimal glare and almost no emissions. An auto adjust function ensures quick, beautiful image adjustments, while an easy to use on screen display enables custom tuning of brightness, contrast, H/V position, color temperature, and more.

The CML155V weighs 12 lbs and is only 8.1 inches deep, including the base. Speakers and a microphone are built into the front bezel. The panel meets the VESA FPMPMI (Flat Panel Monitor Physical Mounting Interface) standard, which enables wall mounting with third party mounting arms. It also features a Kensington Security Port and is TCO 95’ approved. The CML155V will begin shipping to Hitachi’s authorized monitor distributors immediately with an MSRP of $529.00.
