ViewSonic showcases 120hz LCD technology at Nvision 2008

NEW DELHI, INDIA: ViewSonic Corp has unveiled its first 120hz desktop LCD technology at Nvidia’s Nvision 08 event in San Jose, California.

The 22-inch 120Hz prototype delivers rich, colorful, blur-free video performance on traditional gaming, entertainment and graphic applications, while also delivering stereoscopic 3D when used with Nvidia’s GeForce stereoscopic 3D gaming technology.

The 22-inch 120hz display coupled with 3ms gray-to-gray response time provides good motion picture response time (MPRT), virtually removing the appearance of motion artifacts and ghosting.

This makes it the LCD of choice for extreme gaming, entertainment, computer animation, precision graphic work and traditional computer applications. Features, such as integrated 2Wx2 stereo speakers and dual link DVI digital input, combine to expand entertainment options and make the monitor a must-have display for 3D gaming.

The display offers Professional Color Certification, 1,680x1, 050 resolution, 300 nits of high brightness and 1,000:1 contrast ratio, as well as wide viewing angles for getting the most out of fast action games, downloaded video content and full-length movies.

When coupled with Nvidia’s GeForce Stereoscopic 3D technology, the ViewSonic 120Hz display provides game enthusiasts with realistic depth, intense motion, rich graphics and detailed images that literally leap off the screen.

“The 120Hz technology will deliver front-of-screen performance and will drive new standards in desktop entertainment igniting the next evolution in digital viewing capabilities,” said Jeff Volpe, VP—Global Brand and Emerging Technologies, ViewSonic.

Speaking on the occasion, Gautam Ghosh, Country Manager, ViewSonic Technologies India said, “The launch of 120Hz ViewSonic monitor showcases the serious commitment of the company in providing a relevant display solution for the customers who desire precision and a realistic 3D visual experience while gaming or for enjoying digital entertainment or on working on heavy graphics.”

The first displays with ViewSonic’s 120Hz technology are expected later in the year at select resellers, retailers and e-tailers.
