With 1998 destined to be the year of the flat panel display rollout in trading rooms, competition in that market is heating up. Technologists can look forward to quite a choice of products, as major manufacturers such as IBM, Compaq Computer, Panasonic and Samsung move into Pixelvision's market.
Also pitching in is Richardson, Texas-based STB Systems with its Galileo dual 15-inch screen flat panel. STB reckons one trump card it has as it takes on the hardware Titans: its Symmetry display adapter features so-called Panel Link technology designed for displaying complex data over multiple monitors. Also working in its favour is that STB is a supplier of display adapters to the likes of Compaq, Dell, Gateway 2000 and IBM.
