Elegant 15" and 17" TFT multimedia LCD monitors

ViewSonic, a leading worldwide provider of Visual Technology^™, presents the newest additions to its range of professional LCD monitors with the stylish VX500 and VX700, finished in a striking matt-silver and black casing. As the first models to sport this new design concept, these ViewPanel^® Series monitors are sure to enhance the look of receptions or other areas where a smart image is important.

VX500 - Engaging design with state-of-the-art technology

A perfect synthesis of innovative technology and design, the true 15" VX500 offers great value for money in the professional multimedia monitor segment.

However, this ViewPanel^® Series model also stands out with its impressive technological merits.
With a native resolution of 1024 x 768, the screen delivers a very high contrast ratio of 600:1 and superb brightness of 250 nits. The result is exceptional image clarity. This is supported by the incorporation of SuperClear MVA^™ LCD technology. Combining SuperClear^™ technology and the innovative Multi-domain Vertical Alignment technology, unprecedented photo-like image quality with high contrast and brilliant colours are assured. Moreover, with wide viewing angles of up to 160°, its MVA panel has significantly improved performance, allowing the screen to be viewed from just about any perspective.

Automatic Ø-Touch^™ auto-tuning also joins the list of features. This provides the best possible image in all supported resolutions by monitoring the signals from the computer and automatically optimising the monitor settings as soon as the power is switched on.

The VX500 is equipped with both analogue and DVI inputs and utilises ViewSonic's OptiSync^™ technology for precise display synchronisation.
