Dell to Focus on Multiuse Screens

Dell Inc., the world’s largest personal computer maker, plans to boost sales by turning its focus to screens that can be used as both televisions and computer monitors, Chief Executive Michael Dell said.

“This multifunction display is a new emerging category,” Dell told reporters at a Tokyo news conference. “This is very different” from the existing television business.

Shares of Dell, based in Round Rock, Texas, fell 36 cents to $33.40 on Nasdaq.
