ViewSonic, a leading global provider of visual display products, announces its latest display innovation, the VX1940w. The display is the world’s first 19-inch widescreen LCD to combine 1680x1050 super high resolution, ultra fast, up to 2ms response time (gray-to-gray) and up to 3000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio.

“Ideally suited to both corporate users who want more visual capacity for their documents and multimedia-focused consumers, ViewSonic’s new VX1940W is the region’s first-ever LCD monitor that fits all of the benefits of a 22” monitor into a 19” display and price point,” said Aaron Fright, Regional Director – MEA, ViewSonic Middle East. “We see continued regional demand for ‘big and wide’ screens that offer superior resolution at the fastest speeds, and anticipate that 19” monitors will soon be the de facto standard for enterprise and personal use given the range of features that they pack into an affordable package.”

The VX1940w has been specifically designed for passionate gamers and multimedia enthusiasts eager to enjoy the fastest games and movie action sequences with minimal distortion and industry leading image quality. The VX1940w offers multiple inputs, wide viewing angles (H170°/V160°) and 300 nits of brightness – making it not only an ideal solution for gaming, but also perfect for viewing DVDs and performing traditional PC applications.

The highest resolution available on a 19-inch widescreen LCD, combined with the Dynamic Contrast Ratio, provides users with crisp images, darker black levels and a higher contrast. In addition, DCR technology adjusts black levels based on screen content to reduce “light leakage” and improve performance up to four times greater than traditional contrast ratios, especially when viewed from the side.

The VX1940w will be one of the first models offered in ViewSonic’s latest VX 40 Series of LCDs that feature a new sleek design. Prices as well as detailed specifications for the Middle East will be communicated closer to regional availability.
