LCD HDTVs: ViewSonic® Corp., a worldwide Visual Technologies™
leader, today introduced the VP ThinEdge™ Series, a
full line of LCD HDTVs that combine ultra-slim bezel design
and high-definition screen performance with progressive features
such as digital/analog connectivity, pivot/height adjustability
and multiple-mounting configurability.
Starting at an estimated street price (ESP) of $599, the
ThinEdge Series LCD HDTVs seta new standard in performance-to-price
ratio for professional-class displays and provides an enhanced
viewing experience for applications, such as financial trading,
graphic design, video editing or power gaming, where image
quality and productivity are critical.
ClearMotiv™ video response times as fast as 16 milliseconds
and direct compatibility with HDTV high-scan 720p format enable
the LCD HDTVs display to deliver high-definition, full-motion
images, while OptiSync™ dual analog and DVI inputs support
multi-platform data display and high definition video formats.
With bezels as narrow as one-half inch and the ability to
support extensive tiling and stacking combinations, the ThinEdge
Series LCD HDTVs solve the problem of limited desk space with
its multiple display configuration options. Multiple display
use increases user productivity and reduces stress on hands
and wrists by doubling the user’s screen work area,
limiting the need for scrolling. Additional features, such
as integrated power supplies and height, tilt, swivel and
portrait functions satisfy the ergonomic preferences of users
in any environment.
“ViewSonic is ushering people into the next major technology
transformation—the display-centric era,” said
Young Bae, senior product manager, ViewSonic Corp. “The
VP ThinEdge Series LCD HDTVs support innovative desktop computing
methods with its superior screen performance, versatile multi-channel
inputs and multiple display configuration capabilities.”
ThinEdge Series LCD HDTV displays are available in five models.
The 17-inch VP171b and 19-inch VP191b include two VGA and
one DVI-I inputs, while the 18.1-inch VP181b, 20.1-inch VP201b
and 21.3-inch VP211b offer one VGA input, one DVI-I input
and an integrated USB 2.0 hub.
To facilitate multiple display configurations and specific
arm or wall mounting installations, the 18-inch and larger
ThinEdge LCD HDTV Series displays will also be available in
a panel module-only option. The VP181b-H, VP191b-H, VP201b-H,
and VP211b-H “head-only” models will ship in four-unit
multi-packs without bases for simplified, efficient installation.
The products comply with the strictest safety and environmental
standards—including TCO ’99 and ENERGY STAR®—and
will be available through authorized ViewSonic resellers,
distributors and mail order. They are backed by a three-year
limited warranty on parts, labor and backlight and are eligible
for ViewSonic’s optional Express Exchange® program,
which guarantees a replacement LCD HDTV monitor within 48
hours where service is available. ViewSonic offers 24-hour,
toll-free technical support, seven days a week.
