AG Neovo receives PC Magazine
Taiwan's 2003 "Best Innovation" Award
Taipei, Taiwan, January 16, 2002
- Today, AG Neovo, a professional LCD display manufacturing
and marketing company, announced that it has been honored
with PC Magazine 2003 "Best Innovation" Award
for its exclusive NeoV Optical Glass, a cutting edge
technology for enhanced image quality and panel protection.
This award is organized by PC Magazine Taiwan with winners
determined by readers and consumers.
David Pi, senior vice president of sales and marketing
of AIC's Electronic Business Division, says that, "Because
this award is given by the consumers themselves, it
is objective evidence of market reaction. Thus, we know
that customers are happy with our products, meaning
we are on the right track to creating a premium LCD
display brand."
This award has also placed AG Neovo into very good company,
with other winners including Canon, Epson, Gigabyte,
Hewlett-Packard, Intel, and Toshiba.
Consumers especially like AG Neovo's large selection
of models, with four product lines from its entry-level
displays with added multimedia and video power, mid-range
displays focused on stylish design and multimedia capability
and high-end displays offering the highest performance
on the market with unique all-metal housing. Voters
were also very impressed with AG Neovo's standard integrated
SRS/WOW technology for enhanced audio delivery and high-performance
multimedia capabilities.
However, it was for its exclusive NeoV Optical Glass
that AG Neovo was honored with this award. This optical
filter is made of specially formulated, hardened optical
glass that significantly enhances image quality, while
protecting the panel from various types of damage, including
scratches and repetitive touching, ensuring a long product
life. A typical LCD display panel has a hardness of
only 2H (out of 10H) on the MOH Hardness Scale (a geology
industry standard used to measure the hardness of minerals),
meaning that it is highly susceptible to damage. However,
the NeoV Optical Glass has an MOH hardness of six.
In addition, the NeoV Optical Glass is multi-coated
on both sides reducing the reflection from 4.1% to 0.93%,
ensuring the clarity of images and text, and making
extensive computer use easier on the eyes. This optical
filter also provides enhanced color definition and the
anti-acid/anti-alkali coating makes it easy to clean.
Pi says that AG Neovo's exclusive NeoV Optical Glass
is one of the many ways in which value is added to AG
Neovo displays. "Fifty percent of LCD display returns
are due to damage to the LCD panel. However, AG Neovo
monitors have this exclusive glass LCD panel protector,
which effectively eliminates 50% of after sales service
problems, and increases customer satisfaction."
