Depending on the model, the TwoView operates from either an integrated AC switching power supply or +12 Vdc input. General Digital offers an assortment of complementary 1U rack-mounted AC switching power supplies or power supply “bricks” to accommodate your particular needs

Every TwoView monitor can be configured with a variety of standard or custom user controls, most often in the form of membrane or silicone keypads. Choices of LED and NVIS backlighting are available, as well as configuration with electronics that allow backlight dimming.

General Digital can integrate virtually any LCD display size/resolution, from almost any panel manufacturer (OEM), into our enclosures. To assist in selecting the right panel for your application requirements, we have provided a list of commonly used or recommended panels for standard/low luminance, high brightness, sunlight readable and NVIS compatible needs.

New display models are constantly being introduced to the market by the LCD manufacturers, making it extremely difficult for us to maintain a comprehensive list. For this reason, we encourage you to speak with a Sales Engineer to share your price and performance objectives, so we can assist you in making the best display selection.

General Digital has provided a sample listing of some common transmissive displays that are not sunlight readable. Typically, these displays are suitable for applications that are not going to require specialty functionality, such as sunlight readability or NVIS compatibility, and for customers with cost-sensitive budgets.

LCD backlight produces sufficient luminance for use in office, shaded and low ambient/darkness light levels. However, luminance is insufficient to overcome reflected light for use in direct sunlight.

This type of technology boosts the efficiency of the backlight’s light utilization and minimizes surface reflection of ambient light. It is a transmissive LCD module that produces high contrast images, even in bright outdoor light and direct sunlight. These displays feature a wider color reproduction range than reflective LCDs. Featuring an LED backlight, these displays consume very little power and produce very little heat, making them ideal for integration into fully sealed enclosures, which are devoid of ventilation holes and cooling fans to dissipate heat. They also provide the additional benefit of a wide operating/storage temperature (as great as -30°–85° C), so that they can endure exposure to greater internal ambient temperatures.

As a design note, we have found that these panels work best when coupled with an overlay that has an antireflective (AR) coating. Overlays that inhibit transmissivity (e.g., resistive touch screen) or have antiglare (AG) coatings will significantly reduce the panel’s performance in high ambient lighting conditions. Since transmissive displays produce greater brightness from their LED backlights than traditional transflective displays, they are regarded as a better outdoor solution, as they can generate high contrast in total darkness, in direct sunlight or on a cloudy/hazy afternoon.

T-EVT technology uses the high brightness/efficiency LED backlight as a light source while minimizing the surface reflection of ambient light. The result is an LCD that produces high contrast images even in bright outdoor light or direct sunlight.

This type of panel incorporates a highly reflective backlight that reflects the ambient lighting back out of the display to enhance its native brightness produced by its active backlight. Like the Transmissive-Enhanced View Displays, GenFlective panels work best when coupled with anAR-coatedoverlay. They are least effective with overlays that retard the light transmission (e.g., resistive touch sensors) or have a matte finish.

T-EVT technology uses the high brightness/efficiency LED backlight as a light source while minimizing the surface reflection of ambient light. The result is an LCD that produces high contrast images even in bright outdoor light or direct sunlight.

These displays feature a value-add backlight, typically made from high efficiency LEDs. These displays produce significant active luminance. Often, the peak luminance is limited by internal ambient temperature constraints or must be connected to an intelligent backlight controller and thermal sensor that will automatically reduce brightness/power to avoid over-temperature conditions or thermal shutdown. The high luminance output makes them ideal for use with a wide variety of overlays such as touch sensors, EMI filters, heaters, etc.

Sunlight readable displays use a General Digital-enhanced, highly efficient, super bright/sunlight readable LED backlight to provide maximum functional brightness. The addition of surface treatments such as antireflective coatings and optical bonding reduce surface reflections and increase contrast so displays can be used in direct sunlight.

If our stock offering does not suit your needs in terms of size, fit or function, please contact a Sales Engineer and we will work with you to configure a system to your specifications. Customers can also request that we integrate one of our many LED-based sunlight readable, NVIS or sunlight readable/NVIS enhanced displays into their product. These solutions provide many advantages, such as increased longevity, improved durability, higher brightness, lower power consumption and/or NVIS compatibility.

Having grown up in the ergonomics industry, products like monitor arms were something that just seemed to be a normal part of life. When I started BTOD.com in 2005, I quickly realized that while this was normal for me, it wasn’t the case for the masses.

Over the last 16 years I’ve found that more computer users are realizing the value add that comes with products like monitor arms. A monitor arm is an important accessory for anyone who wants to create a more comfortable work environment. But does that mean they’re for everyone?

In this post we are going to cover the top 7 problems for monitor arms. After you’ve had a chance to learn what some of the issues are, hopefully you’ll know if it is a good fit for your ergonomic needs.

The number one problem I’ve found over the time I’ve sold monitor arms is how they attach to the monitor. VESA compliance is like a foreign language if you’re new to the category.

Having a VESA compliant monitor means that it comes with standard mounting holes on the back of the monitor. For computer monitors, you’re looking for something that is likely a 75mm X 75mm or 100mm X 100mm pattern.

One of the biggest issues is finding a monitor that is VESA compliant. I haven’t found there is  real consistency across the major monitor brands for VESA holes on their monitors.

Shopping locally at stores like BestBuy can be difficult, as they offer even fewer options for VESA compliant monitors. Apple monitors are one of the worst brands for VESA compliance, with few models including mounting holes on the back.

The first thing you’ll need to find out is if your existing monitor has a VESA compliant mount. This process is straightforward, but some of the monitor brands hide the VESA holes. Some common places are behind the stock monitor stand, or hidden behind a panel that isn’t part of the monitor stand.

When customers call us at BTOD.com we typically do a quick search of the brand + model #. Looking through the specs you should be able to find out if it is VESA compliant.

If you find out your monitor isn’t VESA compliant, they do make aftermarket brackets that you can add to your monitor. These aren’t nice looking, so they can be a turn off for some users. They wrap around the corners of your monitor and provide a bracket on the back of the monitor. They can also add to the weight of the monitor, so you will want to pay attention to this with the weight capacity of the arm.

If you’ve been in the market for a standing desk, there is a good chance you’ve read about my obsession with stability. Having a standing desk that wobbles all over can be a major distraction. The same is true for your monitor arm, and if paired with a standing desk the problem can be significantly worse.

When you look at the design of a monitor arm, they rise up from some type of post or gas arm system. The further they get from where they are mounted, the more you will notice monitor bounce and shake. If you decide to go with a cheap, flimsy monitor arm, this problem will be noticed more than a high quality product.

One of the benefits of a monitor arm is that they free up your desk space. They also require a smaller footprint when compared to a stock monitor stand. Most monitor arms are mounted with compact C clamps or grommet mounts. Both of these systems will most often be mounted at the back of your workstation. This is done to keep your desk clear and is one of the reasons I love monitor arms.

In order to provide proper ergonomics, you will need to bring the monitors closer to your eyes. Depending on the depth of the desk and your eyesight, you could potentially pull them forward 12”-18”. Extending the arm out this far from the post will naturally cause bounce issues.

When we look at the best solution for a monitor arm, my first suggestion is looking at a quality monitor arm. That doesn’t mean that you need to spend $100’s, it just requires a solid monitor arm system. Cheaper arms will be made from low quality components that tend to flex more.

The second thing would be to look at post systems vs. gas/spring arms. Post systems will mount on the desk and provide a solid mount for the monitor. Keeping your monitor as close to the post will eliminate the bounce that is exaggerated the further you push away from the post. This is especially true for users that want to use larger monitors.

This is especially true for users that want the flexibility of a gas/spring arm system. While these are nice for users that are making frequent height adjustments, they will oftentimes offer lower weight capacities than a post system.

If you exceed the weight limit for the arm, there is a good chance you will notice your monitors slowly drop. If they are held up by a gas cylinder, exceeding the weight limit could also damage the cylinder, shortening the lifespace of the arm.

Using lightweight monitors like LED’s are the best solution for reducing the weight of your monitor. These will be the lightest options that are affordable for most people. When looking at the weight of your monitor, make sure to look for the weight of the base/stand. Manufacturers will often include this in the overall weight.

The best product solutions depend on your individual needs. If you are looking to mount the arm to your desk, because it’s an adjustable standing desk, I would look at post systems. If you are mounting directly to the post, or extending off a fixed arm, these should offer higher capacities than a spring alternative. There are even heavy capacity post systems made for large LCD TV’s.

If you don’t need to tie the monitor arm directly to your desk, you can look at wall mount systems. Many of these solutions will offer higher weight ratings than gas/spring arms. If you need height adjustment, these aren’t always the best option.

Once you get beyond a certain size monitor, the way manufacturers build tilt/pan functions will change. Most of the time the arm will become similar to what is used on wall mounts for televisions. While these systems will have some adjustments, they won’t be as easy to change as the type created for computer monitors.

How easily a monitor arm adjusts can be a problem for some users. There are five basic adjustments that you can expect with a monitor arm. These five adjustments are: height, depth, lateral, pan and tilt.

The first thing I tell customers, is that unless you’re in a shared work environment, monitors should be a set it and forget it scenario. Once you position them properly, you really shouldn’t have a reason to continue tweaking them.

The only problem we’ve found with simple gas/spring systems is linked to the pan/tilt function. When grabbing the monitors, the monitors tend to pan or tilt inadvertently. When this happens it can be frustrating, especially for users with dual monitors.

If you’re using dual monitors and plan on making a lot of height adjustments, especially for standing desk users, I would suggest looking at systems that move in unison. Some of these systems will have a grab bar; this eliminates the issue of touching the monitors. Others will make the height adjustment function easy enough to prevent issues with pan/tilt changes to your monitors.

If you’re on a tight budget and can’t look at higher-end products, there are some quick solutions. The first would be to zip tie your wires together, if possible with a tie that matches the wires. This will blend the zip tie and reduce some of the clutter with wires running all over.

If you have space on the arm and can easily zip tie to the arm, I would suggest looking to do this as well. Routing the wires down the arm will help reduce the clutter, keeping a uniform look.

The last problem that we’ve found with monitor arms is how they mount to your desk. The two most commonly used mounts for computer monitor arms are the clamp and grommet. The biggest issue is that monitor arm manufacturers typically include one of the two options.

If you’re not familiar with what these options are, let me quickly explain each. A grommet mount passes through a grommet hole in your desks surface. Some desks come with these holes. If they don’t it would require the user to make the hole themselves. A clamp mount is a C clamp that attaches to the edge of a surface.

Both of these options are equally as solid. A grommet mount will provide a more finished solution, but requires a more permanent setup, considering the need for a hole in your desk. A clamp mount will give you better flexibility, especially if you want to move your monitor arm.

The problem though, what if you don’t have a grommet now, but might have one in the future? The problem could be the opposite, having a grommet now, but moving to a desk that doesn’t have one. If your monitor arm system only comes with one option, it doesn’t provide a lot of flexibility for your future needs.

If you’re a user that plans on changing desks or feel your needs will change over time, you want to look for solutions that offer both out of the box. While you may pay extra for this type of solution, you will get more out of your investment.

With free space on a desk surface coming at a premium these days, monitor arms are proving their worth more so than ever. You can pair this with improper viewing angles created from stock monitor stands; using a monitor arm can provide a healthier computing option for you.

Just because something has a lot of value add, doesn’t mean it’s for everyone. Before you jump into buying a monitor arm, read through our top problems to ensure you make the right pick the first time. Do this and you’ll feel confident you’ve made the correct buying decision.

The Asus ProArt Display PA278CV has a great-looking screen with good enough color accuracy for most people and all the ports you need to hook up desktop or laptop PCs. The PA278CV’s stand can tilt, swivel, and pivot the screen and raise and lower its height, its USB-C port can provide enough power to charge most 13-inch laptops, and it comes with a three-year warranty and a good dead-pixel policy. Its QHD resolution (2560×1440) means it isn’t as sharp as a 4K screen, but it’s also hundreds of dollars cheaper than comparable 4K monitors.

The MD271QP has a USB-C connection, making it easy to connect a modern laptop without the need for an HDMI cable or extra dongle. However, you’ll still need to plug in your laptop’s charging cable.

The MSI Modern MD271QP is a simple, streamlined 1440p monitor that’s perfect for laptop users. If you have a laptop with a USB-C port, a single cable will send the image to the monitor and slowly charge your laptop with 15 watts of power. However, you’ll still need to plug in a power cable as well to keep your laptop fully charged. The MD271QP lacks features we liked in the Asus ProArt PA278CV,including a built-in USB hub, granular color calibration controls, and blue-light filtering modes for reading. But if you don’t need to tinker with color settings or those extra USB connections, the MSI Modern MD271QP is a great monitor for $100 less than our top pick.

The Dell S2722QC is a 3840×2160 display that’s great for anyone who watches 4K content or casually edits photos or video. However, if most of your time is spent on general office work or browsing the internet, you don’t really need to spend the extra cash. The S2722QC has a USB-C port with 65 watts of charging, so it can power most laptops except higher-end devices like the Dell XPS 15-inch or the 16-inch MacBook Pros (which are picks in our guide to the best laptops for video and photo editing). For more powerful 4K displays, check out our guide for the best 4K monitors.

Invest in the best slide to digital image converters to ensure your slide-based memories don"t get gobbled up by father time. Rather, you can have them converted into a digital format, which should help keep them safe for whatever the future brings.

In fact, by converting your slides, and negatives, into digital form it also means you can copy, print and share them more easily, allowing others to enjoy the images too. Want to get those slide shots onto your digital photo frame? Perhaps you"d like them on your smartphone or tablet? Or have them ready to send off to be printed to mount on your wall. Whatever you want to do with the photos, having them in digital format makes these options possible.

You can also enhance the images, either by using a professional service or by using one of the best photo editing software(opens in new tab). This could enable you to appreciate details in the original that had been lost until now. Some image converters even let you edit and enhance the slide or negative right there on the touchscreen, so it arrives in digital format better than you"ve seen it before.

Alternatively, you can use one of the best photo scanning services(opens in new tab) but this involves postage, time, cost and perhaps more effort than doing them yourself at home. Of course if you have a lot to do this might work out better. Decided to do it yourself? Read on to find the best gadget partner to help you get the job done right.

Kodak Slide N Scan |was $199.99,now $179.99 at Amazon(opens in new tab)This slide scanner and slide to digital image converter by renowned brand Kodak is on sale this Black Friday. We rated this converter the best for ease of use out of all the models we assessed, and partly liked the large 5-inch color LCD display and the continuous feed option it provides.

This machine scored full marks in our testing process, thanks to its ability to handle multiple formats and its easy-to-use interface. It also packs a generously large 4.3-inch screen, which made it easy to check the scan quality of images and do some basic tweaking. On top of this, the Titan has one of the highest quality sensors we found (20MP) which equates to better quality digital images. Despite all of these features, this is still a compact and lightweight machine, available at a reasonable price.

Most of the image converters we tested are compatible with 35mm slides and film negatives, but the Wolverine Titan also supports 110 slides and film, 126 slides and film, and even Super 8 film. This versatility makes it ideal if you need to convert a variety of media formats.

Don’t let the price tag on this machine fool you. It’s a capable little gadget, which was more than capable of handling our old negatives and slides. The only real issue we had with this machine was that it packs a very small display, but you can easily plug it into your TV screen, PC or MacBook for a better viewing experience.

This gadget also ships with a lot of helpful additional tools. It comes with a soft brush for cleaning dust and other debris off your film and slides, along with a user manual, TV cable, power cable and plastic frame trays to hold your media during the conversion process.

Each of the included frame trays has a notch on the bottom, so you can only slide it in so far; to cycle through photos, you have to push in a new slide or piece of film manually. Buttons for navigating the converter’s menu are located along the top of the device. It has all the standard buttons, as does the software’s menu, except for editing options.

If you"re here looking for photo scanners, and not just slide converters, then the Plustek Z300 is for you. It"s a compact, simple photo scanner, which will happily scan and digitize an old 6x4 photo in about 2-3 seconds. It connects directly to a PC or Mac, and will send the digital file to your hard drive instantly. From there you can use the scanner"s built-in editor to crop and resize images, or opt to do closer image work with specialized photo editing software.

Weighing in at just 0.6 pounds, the Sharper Image Slide & Negative Converter is a great portable image converter. With the on-screen interface available in seven languages, it’s a useful tool for any workspace. The device’s small stature does not mean it has decreased functionality, in comparison with the other image converters we tested.

However, despite its compatibility with standard 35mm film and slides, the Sharper Image digitizer lacks compatibility with any other type of film or slides. And like many other converters, it cannot process physical photo prints.

The Sharper Image converter uses a 14MP sensor to scan and digitize your photos, and even offers manual and automatic exposure adjustment in order to make sure they look great. It is moderately easy to use, with a basic interface and a few buttons that are clearly labeled. The converter comes with a cleaning brush, a user manual and well-made plastic frame trays, which hold your slides and film securely during the conversion process. The biggest downside is that the converter does not come with any internal storage or an SD card.

The Kodak Scanza is a powerful and capable slide to digital image converter. It combines great ease of use with extensive film format compatibility and storage capacity. The device has a sleek, small design that makes it easy to use and store. It has a plastic design and feels lightweight yet sturdy.

If you have slides or negatives, in color or black and white, then the Kodak Slide N Scan is a good option on your shortlist of potential converters. A big sell is that large 5-inch color LCD display but it"s also backed by onboard editing software making for quick outputs without the need for a computer. It"s worth noting that this is automated, allowing you to scan in and enhance images with a single press of the "Scan" button. A continuous feed makes this a great option for flying through lots and lots of negatives at speed.

Usefully there is an SD card slot so you can output to photo files on a solid state media format right away. You also have a wide variety of film and negative adapters to include 135, 110 and 126 film.

We spent more than 60 hours testing and researching the best slide to digital image converters, gathering information about older media formats and noting the most popular sizes for converting slides. Then, we conducted hands-on testing with the best products on the market to find out the things you can’t learn from a specs sheet. We ran various formats of media through the machines to test their user-friendliness, features, performance, efficacy and end results.

You need to buy the right converter to suit the format of media you want made digital. As such, you"ll need to make a decision from the outset on what type you need, be it 35mm slides, film, physical prints or Super 8. There are a few options that will cover off film, slides and prints in one model, but not Super 8. So grab the one you need for the bulk of jobs and you could, potentially, send the rest off to a specialist service for conversion.

As with most gadget buys you may have price as a limiting factor. The range of models reviewed here is between $150 and $350, so there should be something for most needs. But you can splash out over $1,000 if you want a truly professional finish or want to bulk scan. The more affordable models should be enough for most needs though.

If you are going for an option that means you need to scan a negative or a slide at a time, it"s important to think about time being consumed. You"re going to be spending about a minute per slide to get converted at decent quality. If you want to go faster, or do bulk conversions, it might be worth using a professional service, or splashing out on a top-end machine.

Quality is, of course, of great importance as you"ll likely want to have the best end result from the starting format. While resolution here means more pixels on the image, that is simply detail, so going for the highest MP number won"t necessarily enhance the image – it just means you can blow up the shot larger, for prints perhaps, without losing quality.

Another area to consider when it comes to quality is color and exposure. Some machines will let you make adjustments to these details as you input the slide or negative for conversion. While many automate this process for ease there are some that give you greater control over levels of individual colors of green, red and blue and brightness so you can get it exactly as you want.

Most converters do come with screens but these are only about 2.5-inches so with all the above editing features this lack of clarity is worth keeping in mind. In fact it"s usually best to edit on your computer where the clarity is better. That in mind, going for a smaller machine to save space is an option, although most average the size of a football, roughly. Some come with SD card readers as well as scanners so that"s a design feature worth looking out for if you want to scan from negative direct to memory card without a computer at all.

On the subject of standalone converters, are these best or should you go for one that needs a computer? As mentioned above, if you want to edit the images then a computer based device is best. But if you simply want to get the negatives or slides onto a memory stick then you could save money and time by going for a standalone device that cuts out the computer middleman.

While most converters are made to be user friendly, there are also lots of resources available to offer help and support. From online guides and FAQs to community support forums, there"s plenty available from many of the manufacturers. The best companies also give you a point of contact so should you have any specific issues you can contact staff to get help directly.Round up of today"s best deals
