Viewsonic's high-res 19-inch LCD monitor

by |
Display manufacturer Viewsonic has recently announced what it claims is the highest resolution 19-inch LCD panel in the market today. The VX1940w supports a native widescreen resolution of 1,680 x 1,050 pixels with fast 2ms response time, 300 nits brightness and 3,000:1 contrast ratio. In comparison, current batches of 19-inch LCD monitors typically have a native resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels. Only 20- and 22-inch flat-panel displays now offer 1,680 x 1,050-pixel resolution.

While the price of the VX1940w will only be announced closer to its launch date, it is expected to appeal to those who have a limited desktop area but need a high-resolution screen for viewing multiple Windows comfortably. According to Viewsonic, the VX1940w will roll out in selected markets including Singapore and Malaysia from November this year. The company has also revealed that it plans to introduce new display products with "super high resolution".
