Pro-Sales offers a wide range of display device products which include both Panasonic
and Konvision at the high end of the range, with Swit and Ruige on the lower
spectrum.
Swit’s range of on-camera monitors includes the S-1090H 8, 9 inch LCD and the
smaller S-1051C 5 inch LCD monitor. They also offer rack-mount models such as the
M-1071H 7 inch X 2 LCD.S-1051H.
Konvision manufactures both on-camera and field monitors, as well as rack-mount and
desktop monitors such as the 1024 X 600 high resolution 7 inch LCD monitor with LED
backlight.
“At this point in time I believe that rand for rand people still prefer Cathode Ray Tube
(CRT) monitors,’ says Pro-Sales’ Arne Sack. “Customers are resisting the prices of the
flat screen display devices, however having said that the new non-CRT units are really
improving rapidly.
“In most studios we see the replacement process taking place as older CRT monitors
die. It is only a matter of time.’
Pro-Sales has supplied display devices to the likes of Urban Brew, Aquavision and
Ministry of illusion among others, and the demand is growing.
“The major manufacturers – such as Panasonic – are producing these devices, but
there is a host of other specialised monitor manufacturers out there,’ notes Sack. “If
we look back at the progress over the last decade, one can only expect the progress
to accelerate and South Africa is up there with the rest of the world in terms of
demand.’
