Viewsonic’s 24in Display Doubles As HDTV

Viewsonic has launched a 24in widescreen desktop monitor designed to be used comfortably as both a PC display and high defintion TV (HDTV).

The new VX2435wm is certainly one of the biggest desktop monitors out there and it comes – unusually – with HDMI inputs so that users can easily use it as a HDTV, by hooking up a PS3, Sky HD box, Blu-ray or HD DVD player or high definition-enabled Xbox 360. Viewsonic_24in_hidef Most monitors still only feature the older DVI input for showing high-def sources. It also sports component, S-video and composite connections.

The display has a native resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, a high contrast ratio of 1000:1, a reasonable response time of 8ms and a brightness rating of 500cd/m². It features in-built stereo speakers and can also be wall-mounted to help save on that valuable desktop real-estate.

Out now, it costs around £530 and you can find more details here.
