VIEWSONIC LAUNCHES 3D-READY FUHZION™ LINE
Consumers can enjoy stereoscopic 3D in the home with the launch of 120Hz desktop LCD monitor and DLP® portable projector
A recent study published by Quixel Research LLC, a market intelligence company focused on home theater and home entertainment, found that over half of the respondents agreed that 3D makes movies and games more enjoyable, with gamers finding the 3D experience slightly better, offering more compelling entertainment1. ViewSonic’s new FuHzion line offers precision and a realistic 3D visual experience for optimal digital entertainment.
VX2265wm, 120Hz desktop LCD monitor
The 22-inch, 120Hz desktop LCD monitor produces rich, colorful, blur-free video for traditional 2D gaming, entertainment and graphic applications, while also delivering stereoscopic 3D when used with the new NVIDIA GeForce® 3D Vision stereoscopic active shutter glasses for the home. The NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision glasses, compatible with more than 350 existing entertainment titles, makes the VX2265wm a perfect match to deliver immersive, ultra-realistic PC gaming experiences.
In addition to the 120Hz frame rate support, the VX2265wm offers a 2ms video response time to remove virtually all motion artifacts and ghosting. Its 1680 x 1050 HD resolution allows users to further enjoy fast-action games, and built-in HDCP support provides the ability to view high-definition video content. The monitor is Windows Vista™ certified and coupled with SRS WOW™ HD sound technology, invisible stereo speakers and has a sleek black design.
“ViewSonic’s heritage in providing high-quality visual display solutions and commitment to emerging technologies was an obvious choice to showcase the NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision stereoscopic glasses solution,” said Ujesh Desai, vice president of GPU business at NVIDIA. “Jointly, we are helping to further the growth of truly 3D home entertainment.”
The VX2265wm has an MSRP of $399 and will be available in January 2009.
