Its commitment to building and strengthening relationships with resellers has set a precedent in the industry. ViewSonic's high scores reflect the powerful impression it has made in the channel."

ViewSonic, which produces color computer monitors, multimedia displays, flat-panel monitors, and LCD projectors, was also complimented by participating resellers for its extensive marketing support programs, which are designed to give each reseller a more competitive edge in a rapidly expanding market. Following ViewSonic in second place was NEC; Mag Innovision placed third.
