for About.com

Hong Kong monitor manufacturer TPV Technology began in 1967 as the Admiral Overseas Corporation. Their main business was in designing and making television sets in Taiwan, and over the next decade TPV became a major exporter of televisions. In the early 1980's TPV entered the computer monitor business.

Twenty years later, TPV is one of the largest manufacturers of CRT and LCD computer monitors. Their main source of business comes from producing monitors for computer giants like IBM, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and Compaq. TPV also makes and sells monitors under their three brand names - AOC, Envision and Amark. In all, TPV makes over 100 different models of monitors.

On September 5, 2005, a partnership between TPV Technology Limited and Royal Philips Electronics of The Netherlands became effective. Under the agreement, TPV will be responsible for producing all of Philips' monitors and entry-level flat screen TV products. TPV will also take over Philips' existing OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) monitor business.
