Technology distributor Rectron has announced that it is to host roadshows around the country in association with vendors Viewsonic, HP and AOpen. They will take place in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town from 30 July to 1 August.
Top executives from display manufacturer Viewsonic, and platform solutions vendor AOpen will visit the country to demonstrate new advances in technology to Rectron`s reseller network. A highlight of the events will be the launch of AOpen`s new notebook computer - said to be the fastest available on the P4 platform.
According to Mark Lu, Rectron CEO, Viewsonic will demonstrate new advances in display technology that will bring monitors within the resolution range of digital cameras.
"Until recently, limitations in display technology have restricted the number of pixels that can be fitted onto a screen to well under 3 million, while digital cameras can capture in excess of 6 million," explains Lu.
He says that with the industry move from cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors to LCD displays, this barrier is being removed. "LCD screens theoretically have a potentially unlimited capacity to display pixels, but this is dependent on the controlling chip. With the backing of industry giants Intel and Microsoft, Viewsonic intends bringing Moore`s Law to the display industry - potentially doubling the number of pixels every 18 months," says Lu.
The distributor will also announce advances in mobile technology from Viewsonic, which Lu describes as "the next step for computing in a connected world". Also on display will be HP`s range of 39 new imaging devices.
