Gautam Ghosh, Country Manager, ViewSonic Technologies India Pvt. Ltd, said: "The need for energy saving multimedia desktop displays in India is rising exponentially.

This prolonged usage calls for energy saving and eco friendly display solutions. By introducing these two new Energy Saving performance packed Green LCDs enriched with features typically associated with high-end displays, ViewSonic is making it possible for users to enjoy the latest in display technology without breaking the bank."

With a 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio, the VA1918wm and VA1928wm deliver exceptional front-of-screen performance for office and education applications like project presentations, spreadsheet manipulation, and Internet research.
