Good Things Come In Large Packages

Many LCD vendors ship their displays fully assembled, and CRN Test Center engineers found that trying to detach an LCD panel from its stand to mount it on a wall is a frustrating experience. Therefore, engineers were impressed as soon as they opened the L1955's box—the display is shipped in two pieces. The LCD panel is separated from the stand so users can easily mount the unit on the wall or attach it to the stand. The fit and finish of the unit is top-notch and the display is colored an ultra chic black with a Darth Vader-esque appeal. The LCD panel comes with a height-adjustable base and 90-degree pivot capability for portrait or landscape viewing. It supports both standard 15-pin D-Sub analog and DVI digital interfaces.

Typical of 19-inch flat-panel displays, the L1955 has a 1,280 x 1,024 native resolution. It's good for use with spreadsheets, CAD-CAM and everyday workstation and business application use, and is perfect for corporate users that simply like having a big screen. Text was displayed clearly and crisply, and black scales, white scales and color scales were bright and true.

The L1955 offers integrators many additional upsell or add-on options. HP's Desktop Access Center features an integrated microphone and headset jack, a dual-function headset for phone/PC support, a multibay slot for adding an optical drive and four USB ports for easy integration of third-party digital solutions. Another option is a flat panel speaker bar powered directly by the monitor.

HP's PartnerOne program includes various compensation programs based on the types of products sold and sales volume. Collateral tools, presentations and other sales and technical resources are available at the HP Partnership Web site. The vendor customizes its marketing assistance and other support to the specific needs of its partners.
