ViewSonic Offers 26-Inch HD LCD Monitor

ViewSonic Offers 26-Inch HD LCD Monitor

ViewSonic might be best known for busting up the pricing wars on big-screen flat-panel displays, but the company also wants a space on the desktops of home and office users—and to that end the company has just introduced its 25.5-inch VA2626wm widescreen LCD display, with full HD 1,920 by 1,200 resolution, a fast 5 ms response time, and HDMI input.

“We are committed to continuously expanding our display offerings and aim to exceed customer expectations by adding premium features we know our customers demand,” said ViewSonic’s president of global brand and emerging technologies Jeff Volpe, in a statement. “ViewSonic further demonstrates its display leadership by offering innovative technology, versatile offerings and outstanding value.”

The VA2626wm offers 350cd/m2 of brightness, an 800:1 contrast ratio (ViewSonic touts at 6,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio), a 170° viewing angle, and an antiglare screen surface. The display offers VGA, DVI-D, and HDMI inputs and packs two 2.5-Watt speakers.

The VA2626wm carries a suggested retail price of $695, but in true ViewSonic tradition, the display’s street price should be about $529. And remember: 25.5 inches diagonal.

AMD’s free Radeon feature gives you a competitive edge
Counter Strike running on the Asus ROG Swift PG27AQDM.

AMD just revealed Anti-Lag 2, which is an updated version of the Anti-Lag feature that the company launched in 2019. Unlike the original, Anti-Lag 2 works within the game itself rather than through the driver, and AMD claims it offers upwards of a 95% latency reduction compared to the original Anti-Lag.

Right now, Anti-Lag 2 is available in a technical preview in only one game: Counter-Strike 2. If you recall, the original Anti-Lag was the source of some controversy with this title, as it landed players with a ban in the game if it was turned on. After about a week, AMD removed the feature from Radeon Software.
