WALNUT, Calif., Sept. 20, 2007 - ViewSonic® Corp. reinforces its display leadership with the launch of three widescreen LCD monitors that incorporate the latest technologies to propel consumers and professionals into the future of the desktop. The 19-inch VX1940w, 22-inch VX2240w and 19-inch VX1932wm come equipped with industry-leading Dynamic Contrast ratio, as well as fast response times for smooth, broadcast-quality video and crisp images.
With a Dynamic Contrast ratio of up to 4000:1 (typ), the VX1940w and VX2240w provide many benefits such as enhanced light and dark images and reduced "light leakage" that improve performance up to four times greater than traditional contrast ratios. This combined with ClearMotiv® fast response time up to 2 ms and 300 nits of brightness (typ) creates ideal conditions for gamers, movie enthusiasts and graphic designers. Both models feature a 1680x1050 high resolution, which makes the VX1940w the first 19-inch widescreen display to offer high definition resolution.
