ViewSonic VP181 5 x 4 Aspect Ratio, 18.1 Viewable Color LCD ViewPanel.

摘要

The Viewsonic VP 181 is an award-winning, widely used 18.1 inch diagonal LCD color monitor. It was the first 18 inch flat panel monitor to incorporate digital, analog and video inputs in one display. A picture in picture overlay is achievable with composite video input from a DVD or VCR running live while working on other analog applications on a PC. The VP 181 pivots to either landscape or portrait modes for frill page viewing. NIDL evaluated this monitor both for its static and motion video display for an IEC workstation for image analysis and geospatial information. NIDL certifies the Viewsonic VP 181 color LCD monitor as being suitable for monoscopic viewing for an IEC workstation, and rates this monitor an 'A' in the monoscopic mode. It easily passed all the IEC Working Group monoscopic specifications, and the contrast modulation is outstanding. Its native resolution is 1280 x 1024 pixels and is capable of scaling from 640 x 480 to 1600 x 1200 pixels. The maximum vertical refresh rate is 75 Hz so it cannot meet the 120 Hz refresh rate needed for flicker-free 3D sequential stereo viewing; NIDL rates its stereo performance as 'F'. Imagery analysts at some locations use their CRT color monitors only in the monoscopic mode. So, for this class of users, the Viewsonic LCD monitor should reduce space on the user's desk, reduce heat to the office surroundings, while presenting an excellent image. The price is $2,880.
