This CRT features aperture grille technology for vivid colors and sharp text. And the vertically flat screen minimizes glare to make your viewing more comfortable.

    Avid Cinema offers an easy, four-step process for making movies that allows teachers and students to become instant movie producers. And you can save your creation on videotape or as a QuickTime movie for use in classroom presentations or the school's web site.
