Cambridge Telcom Report, Dec 6, 1999

Trying to do two things at once? Now you can. With Nokia's new 21-inch (20-inch VIS) 445ZA display, multi-tasking just became easier for business users.

Nokia Display Products, Inc., the world's premiere developer of display products for corporate and high-end professionals, Tuesday introduced the Nokia 445ZA display featuring FullScreen technology for demanding office applications. The Nokia 445ZA's larger display screen, which allows several applications to be simultaneously active and accommodates more information than a traditional business display, enables busy users to work on multiple projects or documents at the same time.

The Nokia 445ZA delivers superior large screen performance and comprehensive features at a surprisingly cost-effective price. Specifically designed for demanding office environments where multi-tasking is routine, the new Nokia 445ZA provides excellent corner-to-corner picture quality and formidable character clarity at top resolutions of 1600x1200 by incorporating a unique electromagnetic focus lens with Nokia's Dynamic Focus circuitry.

"Nokia is excited to offer business users an affordable large-screen display that facilitates easy multi-tasking," said Treg Tyler, director of marketing at Nokia Display Products, Inc. "For business professionals who spend most of their day in front of a computer screen, the Nokia 445ZA improves productivity by making worktime easier and more efficient."

Nokia didn't stop at unparalleled picture quality. Designed as a complete multimedia portal, the 445ZA is also equipped with Nokia's integrated BusinessAudio system complete with dual 5-watt stereo speakers, a personal audio headset connection and an integrated microphone. The Nokia 445ZA also features an easy to use on-screen password-protected menu that allows users to adjust their display for optimal clarity and display performance to satisfy their various application needs.

TCO'99 compliant, the 445ZA meets or exceeds industry standards for visual ergonomics, power consumption, electromagnetic emissions and environmental impact. Featuring the exclusive Nokia PowerSaver technology, the 445ZA reduces power consumption up to 30% less than TCO'99 standards.

In addition to introducing the new 445ZA, Nokia has announced the availability of the newly updated Nokia 447ZIPlus. The 17-inch (16-inch VIS) display has been upgraded from TCO'95 to TCO'99 compliance, meeting the newly established safety and ergonomics standards.
