Various screen sizes and the choice of both widescreen (16:10) and traditional (4:3 or 5:4) aspect ratios mean that diverse viewing needs can be precisely serviced. Moreover, the option to select a model with both analogue and digital inputs, or to choose one with analogue inputs only, lets users select of display that perfectly matches their specific connectivity and multitasking requirements. All models are also equipped with integrated stereo loudspeakers for innovative multimedia applications, including VoIP and web conferencing.
The ViewSonic tradition of producing monitors that boast the latest ergonomic characteristics continues with the new VG range – which features enhancements that competitors usually only include in their best high-end models. High contrast and brightness values together with fast response times ensure that eye fatigue is avoided. Height and swivel adjustments let users set the monitor individually to the optimal eye and posture level, thereby reducing injury from strains and stresses on the arms, neck and back. As such, these models will increase employees’ productivity and motivation while decreasing sickness levels – to give overall business performance a real boost.*
The range of this next-generation VG series will include 17” and 19”, 20” and 22” models, and all will feature an unequivocally stylish, slim-bezel design. More models will be launched over the coming months. This will ensure ViewSonic retains its position as the fastest growing monitor company in the world, and to further boost sales of the VG series which now accounts for over 25% of company sales.
“Throughout the past years, the VG series of LCD monitors has attracted millions of users worldwide and has become a vital part of ViewSonic’s global success story”, says Richard Millar, Regional Director UK & Ireland. “This major update of the range puts even greater emphasis on ergonomic considerations as well as other needs of employees and employers. It will significantly enhance the spectrum of VG monitor users – from the traditional graphics enthusiast to all business users and for all applications – at a price point that has previously only been seen in other vendors at the entry level. It’s a true breakthrough for employees and employers alike.”
