Sceptre Announces New Ultra Light, 
Ultra Slim ST15D Digital Flat Panel Display 

City of Industry. California - Sceptre Technologies, Inc. one of the largest manufacturers 
of LCD flat panels, CRT monitors and notebook computers in the world - announced today a new generation of ultra thin and ultra light LCD flat panel displays. The Sceptre ST15D, the latest addition to Sceptre's digital line, offers the user a lighter and smaller form factor for a 15" screen size, produces a 1024 x 768 resolution image in XGA mode. The Sceptre ST15D Digital Flat Panel Display's weight and thickness is about 50% less than comparable LCD panels. The Sceptre ST15D can be flush mounted to eliminate unsightly protrusions and permit installations in space restricted areas.

"We are proud of our engineers who have established a new benchmark in slimness and lightness for 15 inch flat panel displays. We are leading an industry trend towards slimmer and lighter flat panel displays in every size category. The Sceptre ST15D allows our Channel Partners more display solutions in meeting the needs of their clients," said Stephen Liu, CEO of Sceptre Technologies.

One of the biggest advantages of the Sceptre Digital flat Panel (DFP) display is they allow a 100% digital connection. This simplifies the set up for the end user with its Plug and Play feature, and it also provides a better picture because there is no analog to digital conversion. This also lowers the cost because of the simplified manufacturing. A lower price point will make it easier for the industry to migrate from conventional CRT monitors to DFPs.

With the digital card, the Sceptre ST15D offers exceptional display and high performance graphics capabilities. The Sceptre ST15D produces no emission, is flicker and static free, consumes less power (30-70% less) and produces less heat (a mere 5-40(F) than a traditional CRT in a normal working environment.

As supporters of the Digital Flat Panel (DFP) initiative, Sceptre's new digital flat panel 
Displays will do their part in bridging the transition from traditional CRTs into a new era of digital flat panel displays. The Sceptre ST15D has a form factor measuring 13" W x 13" H x 4.9"D and weighing only 6.5 lbs.
