ViewSonic Expands the Boundaries of Color With New LED Display
22-inch Display Drives Color Performance and Dynamic Contrast Ratio Beyond Current Industry Standard
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7 /-- ViewSonic(R) Corp.'s commitment to state-of-the-art technology is yet again displayed with the launch of the 22- inch widescreen VLED221wm desktop monitor, which features the world's first 12000:1 dynamic contrast ratio in a LED desktop display. Taking LED backlight technology down to size, the VLED221wm provides color experts, such as graphic designers, multi-media editors and gamers, with color precision and reproduction never before seen in an LED monitor.
"ViewSonic has a long-standing reputation for delivering leading-edge technologies that shatter industry standards," said Jeff Volpe, vice president of marketing, ViewSonic Americas. "The VLED221wm surpasses the expectations of discerning consumers and professionals who demand the true-to-life, crisp colors and contrast ratios prevalent in high-definition content and want to make green purchasing decisions."
The VLED221wm offers consumers high-quality color reproduction by leveraging OptiColor(TM) technology to display 118 percent of the color gamut based on the National Television System Committee (NTSC) guidelines. In comparison, most CRT and LCD monitors on the market today only display 70 to 80 percent of the NTSC's range of colors. This allows graphic designers to more accurately match colors to printed materials, and gives photographers and video editors access to a broader color spectrum. The VLED221wm is ideal for high-end design applications such as CAD/CAM, desktop publishing and moving production, which must achieve the highest level of color performance.
The stylish, glossy black display supports a native 1680x1050 resolution, boasts a 5ms response time and features an industry-leading dynamic contrast ratio of 12000:1 (typ), making it the ultimate monitor for life-like high- definition content. The display is equipped with dual analog and digital inputs and integrated stereo speakers to connect seamlessly with other professional systems such as sound boards.
The environmentally-friendly design is not only mercury free, but also results in lower power consumption of 38W, which is important for consumers looking to reduce energy costs and their footprint on the environment.
The VLED221wm comes with a pixel quality guarantee that exceeds the International Organization of Standardization's requirements for consumer protection. ViewSonic promises immediate replacement if the display has three sub-pixels locked in the on/off position, or if there is any combination of four defective pixels. ViewSonic's guarantee offers the world's highest level of consumer protection against "dead" pixels.
The ViewSonic VLED221wm is Windows Vista(TM) Certified and will be available in February for the estimated street price of $799. Sold through authorized ViewSonic resellers, distributors, retailers and e-tailers, the display is backed by a three-year limited warranty on parts and labor. The VLED221wm is compliant with the strictest safety and environmental standards, including TCO and ENERGY STAR(R), and is made with environmentally friendly materials.
