In order to run the High Res monitor on an SBus platform, e.g. the SPARCstaion 1+, a special frame buffer is required. Customers have hitherto had to order the required parts off the Spares list or have them integrated by Specials. The X252H and X252HV4 bundle the monitor, the frame buffer, and required cables into one orderable marketing part. FEATURES AND BENEFITS --------------------- - Full Size 19" screen with 1600x1280 (2 million pixel) display - 115 dots-per-inch pixel density APPLICATIONS ------------ The High Resolution 1600x1280 monochrome monitor displays 2 million pixels, twice as many as Sun's standard 1152x900 monitors. Thus the pixel density is 115 dots-per-inch rather than the 83 dpi of the standard 19" monitor. The 115 dpi results in highly readible small font text and is therefore required by customers working with small font text. Because customers can do productive work with smaller fonts, they can display more information on the screen and put up more windows. Typical applications include EPubs, Document Imaging/Office Automation, CASE and AI. ORDERING PROCEDURE ------------------ For 115 volt operation, order the X252H. For 240 volt operation, order the X252HV4 and the appropriate power cord from the Accessories section of the End User Price List. Customers desiring a High Resolution System should order the X252H together with the 4/65B-8 from the Internal Price List plus any required disk or memory options. Note that the 4/65B-8 is subject to minimum order quantities and you must first clear the order with you sales representative. INSTALLATION ------------- The CUSTOMER is responsible for installing the frame buffer. Instructions for installing the frame buffer are given in the 4/65 Owner's Set. Beyond the general procedure for installing SBus cards, no special installation is required.
