Envision 17� LCD with TV Tuner Wins Over Computer Shopper Magazine

EN-7500 Praised for Space-Saving, Multitasking Ability

New York, February 2003 - Citing the multitasking ability of Envision�s all-in-one LCD with TV tuner, Computer Shopper Magazine has named the EN-7500 one of the most affordable, useful LCD computer displays currently available.

�Envision�s EN-7500 17-inch LCD monitor, which includes a built-in TV tuner, can save you serious space by doubling as a TV screen,� stated Computer Shopper�s review. �At $599, it�s also among the least-expensive 17-inch LCD/TVs we�ve seen.�

Specifically, reviewers found the EN-7500�s built-in TV capability, picture-in-picture format, and picture clarity to be among its most attractive features. �We were rather taken with the EN-7500�s picture-in-picture (PiP) option,� stated the review. �It allows you, for instance, to browse a candidate�s web site while watching election returns on CNN.� Also noteworthy was the LCD�s pixel-response rate, which reviewers found to be fast and consistent. �The unit�s fast 20ms pixel-response rate means you�ll see little blurring during fast-moving animation or video,� a problem that often besets lower-quality LCD displays.

In sum, the reviewers at Computer Shopper called the EN-7500 �an attractive choice for sports and news junkies, as well as buyers contending with cramped work or living spaces.�

�The EN-7500 is a great display for home and office users,� stated Tak Shimizu, VP of Sales and Marketing for Envision. �It�s affordable, but more importantly, it saves space by doubling as a PC and TV screen. It performs both functions with no sacrifice in quality. That�s what we want consumers to know�and what Computer Shopper has recognized it for.�
