A recent IDC study¹ found that 40 percent of respondents were likely to watch TV on their computer monitor, indicating a rise in consumer demand for dual-use displays. Another 23 percent said that if it was possible, they would use their monitor as a TV. As LCD TVs become more prevalent outside of the living room and monitors are evolving into desktop theaters, ViewSonic's NextVision™ HD Series is an ideal option for consumers looking for one display that does it all.

"The ways in which consumers are integrating displays into the home are as varied as the households themselves," said Michael Chan, Country Mangaer of ViewSonic Hong Kong. "The NextVision™ HD line allows consumers to save money and gain more features by purchasing a single, dual-purpose display that brings high quality video or computer viewing to any room. It will be your first choice of your second TV"

Providing an entertainment experience with outstanding picture quality for everyone from movie enthusiasts to cooking show fanatics, the displays feature a fast 2ms response time (max), 2000:1 contrast ratio (max) and wide viewing angles. The PC/TV displays feature six inputs, including HDMI, for connecting to PCs, gaming consoles, camcorders, DVD players, cable or satellite boxes and digital media players. PC applications, like e-mail, spreadsheet comparison and Internet surfing, are complimented with the NX1940w and NX2240w displays' widescreen aspect ratio, VGA inputs and respective native resolutions of 1440x900 and 1680x1050.
