Rackmount LCD monitors are space saving, compact racks that provide users with crystal clear picture quality in two different styles; directly mountable or in a rack drawer that allows the monitor to be pulled out and lifted up. Rackmount monitors with the flip-up design include adjustable brackets, a built in LCD, and full OSD features that provides effective assistance for administrators to control multiple PCs. It is a rugged unit specifically designed for commercial and military applications. Directly mountable units, on the other hand, have metal rugged EMI-shield metal housing and fits into the standard 19" rack cabinet. Although required 5U to 9U of available rack space is necessary, extra rack mounting space from the back of the LCD panel allows the user to save a tremendous amount of space for compact environment racks. Tempered glass is mounted in front of the LCD panel to protect against impact and dust on the LCD panel, providing more efficiency and durability to the product for a longer life span.

Each unit supports a flat LCD panel which connects to the conversion board and comes with a standard VGA connector on the back of the rack mount unit for computer system connection. Built for military purposes, sun light readable and sun native resolutions are now supported on certain modules to outperform commercially available non enhanced products that washout in direct and/or indirect sunlight conditions.

Front panel controls such as the On/Off switch and OSD buttons are located on the front of the LCD monitor for easier access around the unit. These OSD functions allow you to adjust the LCD monitor for the best view and provides an auto-shut off  function, which enables the monitor drawer to go right back to its rest position right at the tip of your fingertips.

Direct current, which is also referred to as DC power, is produced by such sources as batteries and thermocouples. These direct currents are used to charge batteries, and in nearly all electronic systems, are used as the power supply. A 100/240VAC power adapter is integrated into each rackmount monitor and converts power from your outlets into a steady stream of power that the computer can use.  A 235 or 250 Watt power supply is sufficient enough to provide power for the hard drives and other components. The quality of the power supply can be very important because it can make the difference between a stable computer and an unreliable computer.

Some important options that are available for custom applications are Rack mount LCDs with composite video, S-Video, DVI, high brightness and sun light readable, resistive touch screens with USB/serial controller, and capacitive touch screens with serial controller.
