The Dynamic Diamani DUO: ViewSonic Introduces HD PC/TV Display Line

Small, Affordable, Dual-Purpose HD TVs are Ideal for Consumers' Other Room

WALNUT, Calif., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- ViewSonic(R) Corp., a worldwide leader of visual display products, has designed its Diamani DUO(TM) Series of widescreen high-definition LCD TVs that double as a precision desktop display making them perfect for the kitchen, den or office. The 19-inch NX1932w and 22-inch NX2232w are available starting at less than $350, giving consumers an affordable, dual-purpose solution for their small living spaces.

A recent IDC study(1) found that 40 percent of respondents were likely to watch TV on their computer monitor, indicating a rise in consumer demand for dual-use displays. Another 23 percent said that if it was possible, they would use their monitor as a TV. As LCD TVs become more prevalent outside of the living room and monitors are evolving into desktop theaters, ViewSonic's Diamani DUO Series is an ideal option for consumers looking for one display that does it all.

"The ways in which consumers are integrating displays into the home are as varied as the households themselves," said Jeff Volpe, vice president of marketing, ViewSonic Americas. "The Diamani DUO line allows consumers to save money and gain more features by purchasing a single, dual-purpose display that brings high quality video or computer viewing to any room."

Providing an entertainment experience with outstanding picture quality for everyone from movie enthusiasts to cooking show fanatics, the displays feature a fast 5 ms response time (typ), 2400:1 dynamic contrast ratio (typ) and wide viewing angles. The PC/TV displays feature six inputs, including HDMI, for connecting to PCs, gaming consoles, camcorders, DVD players, cable or satellite boxes and digital media players. PC applications, like e-mail, spreadsheet comparison and Internet surfing, are complimented with the NX1932w and NX2232w displays' widescreen aspect ratio, VGA inputs and respective native resolutions of 1440x900 and 1680x1050.

The NX1932w and NX2232w boast a sleek high-gloss cabinet that complements a variety of rooms and can be used for a combination of activities-from playing video games or watching cooking shows to writing term papers or watching the big game. The integrated stand and VESA wall mounting option make the Diamani DUO line a display-piece for kitchens, studios or dorm rooms.

Available immediately, the Diamani DUO NX1932w and NX2232w have estimated street prices of $349 and $399 respectively, and will be sold through authorized ViewSonic retailers. Diamani DUO displays are backed by a one-year limited warranty on parts and labor. Optional two-year or three-year extended warranties are also available. ViewSonic offers toll-free technical support, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, excluding major U.S. holidays.
