Users may select any of the most popular ASCII emulations (including the fully compat- ible WY-50 mode), ANSI (such as VT-220), PCTerm and UNIX Console. This great mix of personalities can handle traditional mini-computer and mainframe environments as well as multi-user PCs. GREAT ERGONOMICS State-of-the-art technology and design make the WY-55 and WY-55ES exceptionally user-friendly. Choose a green, amber or paper-white 14-inch flat screen. The extra-fast 80 Hz refresh rate delivers a flicker-free dynamic-focused display image. High-resolution character cells offer clear and crisp text. Overscan, borderless full-screen video further enhances viewing comfort. High-quality keyboards with the unique Wyse -touch and feel- are still the industry's all-time favorite. Further, a built-in -Rest Timer- can remind users to do what its name suggests. The streamlined and stylish housing offers front-mount brightness, contrast and power controls, a tilt and swivel base, plus a firmware access door for easy feature upgrades. LOW-EMISSIONS For low emissions, the WY-55ES is the terminal of choice. It conforms to guidelines for electrostatic, very low, and extremely low-frequency electro- magnetic emissions recommended in the Swedish MPR 1990:10 publication (MPR II). SIMPLY THE BEST From a broad range of personalities and world-class ergonomics to affordable price, Wyse offers it all in one stylish package. Always expect the best from Wyse. It's one more reason Wyse is the world's leading supplier of general purpose terminals.
