Trade-ins promote 'fat to flat' initiative

Planar hopes to trim the fat in radiology departments with an initiative aimed at convincing users of CRT systems to replace them with the company's flat-panel displays. The promotion, which runs from April 19 to July 16, allows providers to trade in their current 2-megapixel or higher gray-scale analog display controllers for dual sets of Dome C3 3-megapixel and Dome C5i 5-megapixel gray-scale flat-panel displays at price points below $10,000 per set-less than the average cost of two high-end CRTs and an analog display controller, according to the company. The CX family is available at 2-, 3- and 5-megapixel resolution, gray-scale and full-color, diagnostic- and referral-grade.
