ViewSonic Debuts 2ms VX922 LCD Monitor

By Ian Bell October 31, 2005

ViewSonic’s new VX922 19-inch LCD monitor features a lightening fast 2ms response rate across the entire color scale. These specs are music to a gamer’s ear. This means that hardcore gamers will be able to get near-CRT quality response times from an LCD monitor.

The VX922 is the first desktop display to combine ViewSonic’s proprietary Dynamic Structure and Amplified Impulse video response acceleration technologies to support rates of up to 500 frames per second across the entire color scale. This advancement produces superior front-of-screen performance for motion video and eliminates ghosting, a problem caused when the tiny pixels creating an image take too long to switch on and off.

“The faster response time of our new VX displays brings us one step closer to achieving CRT-like performance with all the benefits LCDs offer,” said Jeff Volpe, vice president, marketing, ViewSonic Americas. “We’ve made the much sought after ability to enjoy games and movies in the sleek flat panel form factor a reality.”

The VX922 will be available December 1^st and will carry an estimated street price of only $429 dollars â€“ not bad if you ask us.

If for some reason you just can’t wait that long, then you can try ViewSonic’s existing line of Xtreme LCD’s which feature a 4ms response rate. Check out the ViewSonic website for more information.

9 best 2-in-1 laptops in 2024: tested and reviewed

The back of the Surface Pro 9, with the kickstand pulled out.

The 2-in-1 form factor has certainly come into its own over the last several years. There's really no reason to limit yourself to a clamshell, as there's a 2-in-1 that will meet the needs of all but the most demanding users in terms of sheer performance.

We've reviewed every great 2-in-1 you can buy, including Chromebooks, convertibles, and powerful 16-inch versions. The overall best 2-in-1 at the moment is the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 (although that might change very soon), with its fantastic keyboard that's as easy to remove as it is to type on, a 120Hz display, and a haptic-enabled pen. It's almost as good a laptop as it is a tablet, which is what makes it the best overall 2-in-1.

Here’s why everyone is talking about this controversial new Windows AI feature

Microsoft introducing the Recall feature in Windows 11.

When Microsoft went to launch its new Copilot+ PCs, it needed an AI feature that could showcase the power of the new NPU and AI models. That feature is Recall.

On one hand, it's a privacy nightmare wrapped in a glorified search bar. On the other, it could represent the biggest change to the way we use PCs in years.

Microsoft is adding a controversial app to Windows 11

Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 sitting on a table.

A new Windows 11 build is rolling out in Microsoft's Beta channel, and it includes an app that's been caught up in some controversy. Build 22635.3646 includes the PC Manager app for devices in China by default. This app is already available through the Microsoft Store, but the update suggests the app might be part of Windows 11 more broadly soon.

PC Manager falls in the category of "system optimizers" along the lines of the Razer Cortex Game Booster. It cleans out temporary files, frees memory that's not being used, and digs deep into your hard drive to clean out unused files. According to Microsoft, it can even "reduce ads and app pop-up interruptions." An system optimizer from Microsoft sounds great as an official release in Windows 11.
