Quato Mini Mate Display
The Mini Mate Display is designed from the ground up to be the perfect partner for Apple’s new Mac Mini. The idea behind this TFT is that the Mac Mini becomes a part of the display. The silver colored materials equal the Mac Mini’s approach. The front glass ensures brilliant colors, high contrasts and it secures the sensitive panel from being touched.
Not only the design is optimized for Apple’s smallest Mac, also the technical specs are developed with the small Mac in mind. A DVI-Interface avoids image distortion and blurred colours; the included Hub adds two USB 2.0 ports and integrated stereo speakers give more power to multimedia applications. The image quality of the 16ms panel and the Mac Mini adapted design make the Mini Mate Display the best partner for design oriented but powerful users.
Due to its protective glass the Mini Mate Display is also well suited for education.
Key Features:
- 19" TFT - 1280x1024 Pixels
- 16ms panel speed (8ms grey to grey)
