DisplayMate is used by over 200 publications in 50 countries
for editorial reviews, evaluations, and testing of video hardware.
It's the standard for in-depth and objective comparisons and evaluations.
Why? Because DisplayMate easily discovers display issues and artifacts
that are overlooked by every other evaluation method,
including laboratory test equipment.
DisplayMate clearly shows differences between monitors and projectors
that would otherwise go unnoticed.
The end-result of using DisplayMate is a review article that's a lot more
interesting and useful to the reader.
DisplayMate Technologies has an extensive set of programs for the Press.
We provide Press Kits, Review Copies, Briefings, Consultations,
Demos, and Workshops to reviewers, editors and columnists of nationally
recognized magazines, books, and newspapers.
To discuss or arrange for any of these please contact us using the
Contact Information
section below.
The Press Information selections below include:
We've changed our company name from
SONERA Technologies
to
DisplayMate Technologies.
It's the same company with exactly the same products and people,
just a new name.
Dr. Raymond Soneira, President and founder of SONERA Technologies
continues on as President of DisplayMate Technologies.
When you mention DisplayMate please use our
new company name
DisplayMate Technologies and our
new
Contact Information.
Note that our website remains www.displaymate.com.
DisplayMate is a unique product so it generates
interesting and notable reviews and columns.
Still, as Bill Machrone, columnist for PC Week and PC Magazine
has pointed out, DisplayMate is still only an "underground hit"
because only a fraction of the user market has heard about it,
a situation you can help correct.
DisplayMate's primary function is to improve image and picture quality
for end-users.
It's the world's only utility devoted to displays and video boards.
Since this accounts for roughly 40% of the cost of a PC,
that's a very important market niche that
DisplayMate addresses exclusively. Tell your readers about it.
Many of them have been looking for a product like DisplayMate.
The product is easy to install and use. There is no learning time, and it's
even fun to use according to the New York Times.

Using DisplayMate for Video Hardware Reviews
|
We provide free Review Copies to publications that agree to mention
"DisplayMate"
and our website
www.displaymate.com
within the text of any article that uses DisplayMate for testing and evaluation
of monitors, projectors, graphics cards, and other video hardware (see below).
Over 200 publications worldwide use DisplayMate for testing almost every kind
of display and video device because with DisplayMate you discover important
image and picture quality issues and subtle video artifacts that are overlooked
with other approaches, particularly when using ad hoc screen test images,
or laboratory test equipment.
The ad hoc screen test images lack DisplayMate's sensitivity and breadth,
and the laboratory test equipment does not evaluate what the eye really sees,
and in addition, has different signal characteristics than actual
computer hardware.
The end-result of using DisplayMate is a review article that's a lot more
interesting and useful to the reader, and that helps attract readers and
sell magazines, newspapers, etc.
DisplayMate's primary function is to improve image and picture quality
for end-users,
so please don't leave your readers with the impression that
DisplayMate is only a laboratory testing tool that is of little
interest to them.
Consider including a sidebar describing how end-users can use DisplayMate
to improve the image and picture quality of their own displays.
