Today, Portrait Displays products are in daily use throughout the world by millions of home users, businesses, and highly experienced professionals.

Portrait Displays works collaboratively with leading display controller and LCD hardware vendors to establish, promote and advance display technology standards. These include standards developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA), where Portrait Displays is an active member, to proprietary standards developed by Portrait Displays in conjunction with select partners. Our involvement in shaping the industry, along with an enormous wealth of personnel experience, allows a unique combination of vision, innovation, and an ability to swiftly adapt complex technology. With these advantages, Portrait Displays has succeeded as one of the foremost providers of software in the display industry.

With our ability to meet the unique requirements of casual and advanced users alike, many of today's leading OEMs, as well as PC and computer display manufacturers have selected Portrait Displays to enhance products ranging from LCD and notebook monitors to kiosks, touch screens, voting machines, pen-based computers, cockpit display devices, and handheld computing devices. Display manufacturers continually refresh their product lines with different features and functions and Portrait is a major contributor to product differentiation.

Developed by a highly qualified international team of software engineers, Portrait Displays products are translated into dozens of different languages. These localization capabilities have helped to expand the worldwide distribution of Portrait Displays software, with millions of units shipped to Europe and Asia.

Portrait Displays' Windows-compatible solutions demonstrate outstanding performance, user friendliness, and uncompromising stability. These qualities consistently differentiate us from the competition. We utilize an incredibly broad scope of testing abilities, with equipment that allows over a hundred thousand display configurations.

The company's flagship software product, Pivot® Pro, was originally released in 1993 and has become the industry standard for enabling the rotating function on desktop flat-panel computer displays. Meanwhile, Display Tune® has emerged as the industry standard for augmenting traditional manual buttons for OSD control, while also including many other display tools for improved manageability and productivity. Other Portrait Displays products like Liquid View® and Liquid Surf™ continue the tradition of excellence in software performance and reliability for high-resolution computer displays.
