The New Monitor in Town

By DE Editors

ViewSonic Corp., (Walnut, CA; www.viewsonic.com) has announced the VP912b, the latest addition to its ThinEdge professional series of LCD monitors. The display offers extremely high brightness levels and one of the fastest response times currently available for 19-inch LCDs, says the company, which also plans to begin offering 17-inch displays with industry leading response times as low as 8ms over the next three months.

With 400 nits of brightness, a 12ms response time, and a native 1280x1024 resolution, the VP912b LCD delivers clear motion video with clear and vibrant images. OptiSync dual input technology expands connectivity options by supporting both digital (DVI) and analog (VGA) signals. The ultra-slim bezel design enables a virtually continuous viewing area when tiled and stacked, overcoming the challenges of viewing complex applications or limited desk space. The VP912b is available now through authorized ViewSonic resellers, distributors and mail order for an estimated street price of $719.

All of ViewSonic’s LCDs feature ClearMotiv video technology video/web conferencing, gaming, e-learning and digital video applications. The technology combines fast video response with native HD 720p high-scan format support to enable digital broadcast-quality full motion video at speeds of 60, 83 and 125 frames per second.

VP912b is compliant with the strictest safety and environmental standards says the company, including TCO. The VP912b will be available through authorized ViewSonic resellers, distributors and mail order, and are backed by a three-year limited warranty on parts, labor and backlight.
