Wyse Technology Announces Availability of Winterm 3630LE Next-Generation Integrated LCD Thin Appliance

Latest Thin Appliance Offers Industry's First Digital LCD Monitor and Reduces Use Of Premium Counter Space Via Integrated 15-Inch Digital Flat Panel Display

San Jose, CA – 2001/04/16 - - Wyse® Technology, the worldwide leader in thin-appliance computing, today announced the availability of the Wyse Winterm™ 3630LE ultra-thin appliance, the first Windows terminal built inside a 15-inch digital flat panel multimedia display. The integrated all-in-one device is ideal for businesses in a local area network (LAN) environment that use a standard suite of office productivity applications accessed from the server or the Web. The ultra-slim design of the thin client is ideal for environments where space is at a premium.

The Winterm 3630LE represents the first time a desktop manufacturer has married the digital functionality of a LCD panel with thin-client technology. Unlike analog LCD displays that can cause eye strain due to the poor display of text and/or graphics, the Winterm 3630LE digital LCD panel projects images that are clearer and cause significantly less eye strain on the end user. In addition, the Winterm 3630LE thin appliance comes with the option of an industry standard wall-mounting unit, making it that much easier to install, connect and use. The Winterm 3630LE's ultra-slim design occupies 75 percent less counter space than conventional personal computers with a CRT monitor. Depending on the customer's needs, the Winterm 3630LE can be removed from the countertop completely by mounting it on the wall.

"The availability of the Winterm 3630LE thin appliance demonstrates Wyse's efforts to provide CIOs in charge of retail and healthcare environments with a space saving, health friendly, thin appliance," said John Truitt, director of product management at Wyse Technology. "Unlike other server-based desktop appliances and personal computers that come equipped with analog LCD displays, Wyse's Winterm 3630LE's 15-inch flat panel displays crystal clear digital imagery."
