Continuing to make it easier for customers to own the highest-quality monitor for their corporate environments, Compaq Computer Corporation Monday announced U.S. price reductions of up to 23 percent on select Compaq designed award-winning flat panel and CRT monitors.

With a special Compaq V90 promotion, Compaq customers can now purchase an affordable and space saving 19-inch monitor (18-inch viewable) for the same price as a 17-inch (16-inch viewable) monitor. This is ideal for customers who require a larger screen size than a 17-inch monitor but are unable to incur the cost or space requirements of a 21-inch monitor. Also, with prices below $950 for the Compaq TFT450 flat panel monitor, Compaq continues to bring flat panel technology to a broader audience while providing the highest level of Compaq quality and performance.

As the world's leader in monitor shipments, today's price reductions are representative of Compaq's aggressive efforts to provide its customers with the highest level of performance, quality and reliability at an exceptional price. Effective immediately, price reductions are as follows:
