Power for productivity or pleasure

Big screen display for big picture thinkers

Seeing the ‘big picture’ is a must for multitasking senior executives and the ECS G900 delivers the ultimate in big screen display.

Whether its owner is crunching numbers on a jumbo spreadsheet, delivering a make-or-break presentation to a demanding client or unwinding with a made-for-theaters DVD movie, the G900’s 17-inch wide LCD screen and ATi Mobility RADEON 9700 video/graphics board with a 128 MB DDR frame buffer delivers.

A media center for work or relaxation

Whether the G900’s owner is reviewing a new, multimedia ad campaign or taking a quick break to unwind from the work pressure, the G900 is ready.

And this powerhouse comes with an onboard television tuner. Just plug an antenna or cable TV wire into the G900’s coaxial connector for television viewing, time shift recording or directly burning favorite programs onto a DVD.

ECS’s proprietary media solution is a combination of Windows XP software augmented by InterVideo WinCinema – including WinDVR for watching television, WinDVD for viewing movies and WinRIP playing music plus – and hardware including five premium on board speakers delivering 5.1 channel output, an Audio DJ for playing music from the optical drive without powering up the PC.

All these great media center features are tied together with a full-featured remote that seamlessly moves the viewer through TV, DVD, music and AudioDJ options. Together, they deliver all the power of Windows XP Media Center Edition plus exclusive features not found in other media packages.
