ViewSonic kicks out HDMI-equipped 24- and 28-inch LCD monitors

by Darren Murph, posted Jan 8th 2007 at 11:05AM

Looks like we've got two more "Vista Premium certified" monitors on our hands, and these two are from none other than ViewSonic. The 24-inch VX2435wm and 28-inch VX2835wm both sport 1,920 x 1,200 native resolutions, 500 cd/m2 brightness, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 5-millisecond response time, 176-degree viewing angle, "smart color engine," and a bevy of inputs including VGA, DVI, composite, S-Video, and even component. Additionally, both units can be wall-mounted and even tout HDMI ports that are HDCP-compliant, so you shouldn't have too much trouble with those DRM-laden files you try to play on it. The VX2435wm will start shipping next month for $699, while the larger sibling won't land until April for $879, but they could be worth the wait if you're planning on passing copy-protected films over HDMI.

28 inches for $879... WOW! The only problem is I'm in the market for a 24" or larger monitor, now!

WUXGA is the Holy Grail of desktop real estate. Take it from someone who has used Blender3D.

Umm, is that a "1080p capable" (1200p) 28-inch monitor for 879? Say what?
Or has priced plunged since I last looked at LCD monitors/TVs? (Admittedly some time ago.)

Wow, those are good prices. I had almost decided upon Dell's 24 inch LCD, but having HDMI would be a huge plus.

How is the general quality of Viewsonics's LCD lineup? These are not TN screens are they?
