ViewSonic Raises the Bar in Desktop Color With Additions to Professional Series LCD Line


VP 50 Series Features up to 110 Percent Color Gamut Performance, Advanced Ergonomic Adjustments and PerfectSuite Plus Control Software for Industry Leading Performance

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7 /-- Driving performance through color, ViewSonic(R) Corp. introduces the VP 50 Series -- 22-inch widescreen VP2250wb, 26-inch widescreen VP2650wb and traditional 4:3 19-inch VP950b -- that includes up to 110 percent color gamut based on the National Television System Committee (NTSC) guidelines and OptiColor(TM) technology for better accuracy and more detailed images in any viewing environment. In comparison, most CRT and LCD monitors on the market today only display 70 to 80 percent of the NTSC's range of colors. The stylized VP 50 Series ensures the widest tonal range and largest color gamut, making the displays ideal for both creative and business professionals.

"ViewSonic's heritage is based on bringing innovative and competitively priced displays to business professionals and consumers," said Jeff Volpe, vice president of marketing, ViewSonic Americas. "The inclusion of OptiColor(TM) technology provides precise colors for a more satisfying viewing experience and makes these displays critical for professionals that depend on vibrant color for anything from desktop publishing and movie reproduction to CAD/CAM and medical applications."

To compliment the increased color gamut, the displays have quick response time, dynamic contrast ratio and four USB ports, making up a rare assembly of high-end features at competitive price points.

-- Priced with an ESP of $379, the VP950b combines 1280x1024 native
resolution, 2ms response time, 280 nits of brightness (typ) and a
2000:1 dynamic contrast ratio (typ), to make it one of the most
feature-rich traditional LCDs on the market.
-- The VP2250wb, priced at $449 ESP, sports a 1680x1050 native resolution,
2ms response time and 3000:1 dynamic contrast ratio (typ) for clear,
crisp images and beautiful color quality.
-- The VP2650wb boosts a 1920x1200 native resolution, 3ms response time
and a 3000:1 dynamic contrast ratio (typ) providing the ability to
display true high definition 1080i or 1080p content and deliver fluid,
full-motion images. The VP2650wb will be sold for an ESP of $579.

To further enhance the quality of these new products, ViewSonic has included PerfectSuite(TM) Plus software, for easy settings adjustments, color calibration, asset management and theft deterrence features making for hassle-free set-up and maintenance.

All VP 50 Series displays support HDCP, are Windows Vista(TM) Certified and offer an ultra-slim bezel featuring an industrial design that enables advanced ergonomic adjustments-including 4.7-inch height adjustment range, a 120 degree swivel, pivot and tilt. With its ThinEdge(TM) design and integrated mounting holes, these new models also allow for easy tiling of multiple displays.

The ViewSonic VP 50 Series displays will be available in January through authorized ViewSonic resellers, distributors, retailers and e-tailers. The displays are compliant with the strictest safety and environmental standards, including TCO and ENERGY STAR(R), and are made with environmentally friendly materials. ViewSonic's LCD monitors are backed by a three-year limited warranty on parts and labor.
