Today, MMD announces the launch of their new C-Line (which is the premium range), E-Line (Essential range) and V-Line (Value range) consumer monitors; B-Line (Business), S-Line (Standard or Small Business) and P-Line (Professional) business monitors. The P-Line, B-Line and S-Line business monitors are available now at all MMD distributors.

Philips ErgoSensor monitor
Also showcased at the event was the prototype Philips ErgoSensor technology which MMD claims to be the first in the world to offer a true optimized ergonomic viewing experience on their display. With an integrated camera above the display, the monitor uses advanced detection technology to measure a user's interpupillary distance; whether their head is in an inclined position; detects how long the user has been sitting in front of the display etc, and gives appropriate advice to the user. At the rear of the monitor are USB, DVI and VGA connectors.
The ErgoSensor can only detect a single user at any one time, and thus if there are few users crowding in front of the monitor, the display will not be able to provide accurate advice. According to a MMD executive, the ErgoSensor monitor takes approximately less than two minutes to detect and monitor the user and an attention prompt will popup at the bottom right of the screen to inform the user. The Philips ErgoSensor monitor is scheduled to launch from December this year. No pricing information is available at press time.
