ViewSonic Releases Two New IPS Panel LCD Displays

By Dena Cassella December 2, 2009

ViewSonic today announced the commercial availability of its 23” VP2365wb and 26” VP2655wb IPS panel LCD displays. The company says the monitors leverage the power of “true IPS panel technology,” making them ideal for professional designers, manufacturers, and even movie production. The 23” VP2365wb IPS true color monitor couples wide viewing angles with 1920×1080 full HD resolution, while the 26” VP2655wb IPS monitor offers 118% NTSC wide color gamut by OptiColor, super wide 178/178 degree viewing angles and 1920×1200 resolution.

“IPS panel technology is a must have for professionals in image-rich industries, such as graphic artists. Without enhanced viewing angles and accurate color reproduction, they simply cannot do their jobs,” said Jeff Volpe, vice president and general manager of ViewSonic North America. “Our new LCD monitors are designed with these professionals in mind, providing them with a true picture and color quality to make projects come alive.”

ViewSonic says these two monitors have their strongest pixel performance guarantee and come with a three-year limited warranty on parts, labor and backlight. The monitors are now available with the VP2365wb for an ESP of $399 and the VP2655wb for a respective $1,299.

This Dell 27-inch monitor is $200 in its Memorial Day sale

The Dell 27-inch QHD monitor placed on a desk while someone sits nearby using the computer.

While you may know Dell as the company that owns Alienware, one of the best laptop brands on the market, Dell itself actually does a lot of different types of gear. For example, it has a wide range of excellent monitors, but if you're looking for something with good specs and price, this Dell 27 Monitor is a solid option. Even better, there is an excellent early Memorial Day sale on it from Dell that brings it down to $200 rather than the usual $220 it goes for. While that isn't a huge discount, constituting only $20, it was already a pretty good price before the discount, so this is just a cherry on top.

Why you should buy the Dell 27 Monitor
As the name might imply, the Dell 27 Monitor comes with a 27-inch screen, and it runs a 2560 x 1440 resolution, which is actually perfect for this screen size since a 4K resolution tends to be wasted for anything smaller than 32 inches. Interestingly, it has a base refresh rate of 100Hz, which makes it an excellent choice for gaming, especially since the majority of GPUs can't really push more than that at 2k. So, if you have something like an RTX 4070 or equivalent, you'll be able to utilize the card fully, and if you have a worse GPU, then you'll still have the option to either prioritize graphical settings or refresh rate.
