About CNET Content Solutions

Almost all manufacturers will provide you with data. However, they all have their own methods. And no two methods are the same. How can you present this information in a uniformed way to your customer?

Offering normalized detailed information on more than two million ICT products, CNET Content Solutions is the largest worldwide independent source of information on ICT products for distributors, online retailers and resellers..

         <productFeature lang="NL">PLS-schermen maken gebruik van een geavanceerde technologie waardoor u kunt genieten van een extra brede kijkhoek van 178/178 graden. Hierdoor kunt u het scherm vanuit bijna elke hoek zien, zelfs in een draaimodus van 90 graden!    De PLS-schermen bieden, in tegenstelling tot de normale TN-panelen, scherpe beelden met levendige kleuren. Niet alleen ideaal voor het bekijken van foto's, het afspelen van films en het surfen op internet, maar ook voor professionele toepassingen waarbij kleurnauwkeurigheid en constante helderheid zeer belangrijk zijn.
