> The TRIMASTER EL panel has one advantage over other technologies in that the switching speeds are extremely fast. Even faster than CRT. This fast switching speed allows the monitor to display movement without any smear. However, when using the monitor at slower frame rates, it will flicker. So our engineers in Japan have come up with an enhancement that changes the way information is displayed on the screen. BVM models don't have this flicker since they display 24 frame content as 72 Hz. The PVM enhancement is different. This enhancement displays more information on the screen within one frame than before. This is closer to how LCDs are scanned, so it will also induce some smear artifacts similar to what you would experience with an LCD. However these artifacts are minimal.

If you have sold a unit to a customer that requires the enhancement, then the customer should have the unit sent to your business address, and we will return it to that same business address after the enhancement is installed.

We ask that you also offer it as a no cost enhancement program to your customers for this limited time period. Any units requiring enhancement after May 31st 2012 will be charged at normal service rates.
