LCDs maximise Windows Vista with webcam functionality and boast a sleek design
ViewSonic takes its LCD line to the next level of integration with the introduction of the 55 series high end monitors at this year's Gitex. The new widescreen LCD 20" VX2055wmb/wmh and 22" VX2255wmb/wmh include a bezel-mounted 1.3 megapixel webcam and microphone, along with a host of features for work and play.
Both displays are built on the Windows Vista platform, and provide consumers with display options that are designed to suit today's digital lifestyle and meet the needs of the growing number of virtual office workers. Both these sleekly-designed models are available in gloss piano-black or piano-key white finish, so they will look as fantastic as they perform in any environment.
"ViewSonic introduced several monitor industry firsts in 2006, including LCD monitors with 2ms response times and built-in iPod® docking stations," said Aaron Fright, Regional Director, ViewSonic Middle East & Africa. "This year we are again leading the way in meeting digital lifestyle trends and customers needs by integrating features, such as easily accessible USB ports and webcams as well as voice and video recording into these innovative display offerings."
Individuals are using computers for an increasing number of tasks that demand more of the entire system, including the display. ViewSonic's 55 series monitors offer outstanding features to meet these growing needs. The integrated webcam and built-in microphone take advantage of the rising use of VoIP and make the displays perfect for communicating with family, friends or remote business partners. A 1680 x 1050 resolution creates clear, crisp images while an ultra-fast 5ms response time prevents ghosting and blurring to enhance video conversations, movie watching and gaming. The larger viewing area of the widescreen displays enables multitasking, such as viewing multiple documents or applications without toggling.
With most users spending countless hours at a desk at work and home, the VX2055wmb/wmh and VX2255wmb/wmh offer a variety of ergonomic and health benefits, including more than 80mm of height adjustment and a full 360° of swivel that allows the displays to be adjusted to suit each individual needs. In addition, users will experience reduced eye strain with the 300cd/m² of brightness (typ.) and 1000:1 contrast ratio (typ.) of the VX2055wmb/wmh and the 280cd/m² of brightness (typ.) and 700:1 contrast ratio (typ.) of the VX2255wmb/wmh.
The 55 series displays carry the Windows Vista Premium logo, which ensures reliability, stability, security and proper installation, as well as the ability to take advantage of the latest Windows innovations and functionalities. Both monitors are on display on the ViewSonic stand, E10-4, Sheikh Maktoum Hall.
