ViewSonic’s Latest LCDs Offer It All: Size, Style And Substance
New VE Series Offerings Deliver More Value for Quality-Conscious Customers
NEW YORK, June 25, 2002 – ViewSonic® Corporation, a worldwide Visual Technologies™ leader, today expanded the functionality of its popular VE Series of LCD displays with the introduction of the VE500, VE700 and the VE800. The new displays bring more value and style to small office/home office, corporate, education and government users by incorporating the features that provide enhanced convenience, security and space saving options.The 15-inch VE500 provides 1024 x 768 resolution, while the 17-inch VE700 and the 18.1-inch VE800 provide an optimum resolution of 1280 x 1024. All three displays provide higher brightness (up to 260 nits) and higher contrast ratios (450:1, 450:1, and 550:1 respectively) than comparable competitive displays, to produce sharper images, crisp text and vivid color saturation.
“ViewSonic is committed to bringing customers high performance, as well as features that can help people save time or simplify how they use technology,” said Seth Ngin, product manager, ViewSonic. “The VE Series satisfies this goal by extending the functionality of our displays while keeping the benefits of LCD technology affordable for mainstream users.”
To improve ease of use, the new VE offerings include an AutoTune™ function, which automatically monitors video input from the computer and makes the optimum image adjustments so users don’t have to. Additional convenience is provided through the user controlled OSD and Power button lock functions which, when activated, prevent changes to monitor settings to maintain an optimized image. For added space savings, the base of the displays can fold up 90 degrees for VESA-compliant wall mounting, making the conversion between desktop and wall mount applications easier.
With slim panel profiles and stylish two-tone metallic-and-black design, the VE500, VE700 and VE800 are ideal for any décor. Optional matching accessories, such as new ViewMate™ Slim or Office keyboards and optical mini-mouse, are also offered for a complete contemporary look that complements the latest trends in design.
The VE500, VE700 and VE800 are currently available through authorized ViewSonic resellers, distributors and mail order, with estimated street prices of $419, $699 and $879, respectively, after rebate.
The displays are backed by a three-year limited warranty on parts, labor and backlight, and are eligible for ViewSonic’s optional Express Exchange® program, which guarantees a replacement monitor within 48 hours where service is available. ViewSonic offers 24-hour, toll-free technical support, seven days a week.
