Bookstand Option
The VX2753mh-LED features a very innovative industrial design, which allows it to be utilized with either the traditional base or in a bookstand configuration.

What is a LED monitor?
The term "LED monitor" generally refers to a monitor with a LCD panel and a LED backlight. A typical LCD monitor uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) as a light source to illuminate the LCD panel. In a LED backlit monitor, white LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are used as the light source. LED backlight provide the following benefits:

  • About 40% less power consumption compared to traditional CCFL monitor
  • 30,000,000:1 MEGA Contrast Ratio
  • mercury-free backlight
  • Low EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference)
  • Slimmer design
  • Weight reduction

Save cash and save the planet
With its mercury-free backlight and low energy consumption, the ENERGY STAR® 5.0 certified VX2753mh-LED is not only but also friendly on your electricity bill. The savings of LED can add up to thousands of dollars saved for large install bases, such as big corporate buildings or schools. The savings can be as dramatic as ,000 in five years*! For estimated savings that would apply to the VX2753mh-LED, please visit the LED Savings Calculator at ViewSonic.com/tco-led


MEGA dynamic contrast ratio
One of the great features of VX2753mh-LED is its ability to dim the backlight completely for pure darkness during dark scenes such as a night shot in a movie. Contrast ratios refer to the ratio of the brightest color to the darkest color. With traditional CCFL backlit displays, contrast ratios are limited to the fluorescent lamp’s ability to dim in order to reproduce darkness. However, with the LED backlight, each LED has the ability to completely shut off allowing for a near infinite ratio of black to white contrast. The end result is true blacks that result in greater overall image quality.


What is response time?
Response time in monitors refer to the amount of time a pixel (dot) takes to go from black to white and back to black again. It is measured in milliseconds (ms). The lower the number, the faster the pixels can change, reducing the ghosting or streaking effect you might see in a moving or changing image such as in games and movies. Common response times range anywhere from 14ms to 5ms. Monitors that are designed for faster applications feature response times as fast as 2ms. These monitors are ideal for gamers, video enthusiasts, engineers and movie production houses.

Full HD 1080p Resolution
The VX2753mh-LED features a 27" widescreen with 1920x1080 resolution that is capable of displaying a native Full HD 1080p image. Today, devices that can display Full HD content output are getting more and more common. However, without a native Full HD display, you will not be able to experience the picture clarity and the details of the 1080p content you view.

The Power of HDMI®
HDMI is one of the most powerful and widely available communication standards that connects digital audio/video sources such as set-top boxes, DVD players, personal computers (PCs, laptops), video game consoles such as the PlayStation® 3 and XBOX 360®, and AV receivers to compatible digital audio devices, computer monitors, and digital televisions. With just one cable, HDMI supports any TV or PC video format, including high-definition video and up to 8 channels of digital audio. This powerful technology comes standard in VX2753mh-LED. This way, you can connect your monitor to your desktop or laptop computer and work, surf the web or play games. Or you can connect it to your gaming console and enjoy the large 27” screen, 1ms response time and integrated speakers. You can even connect it to a cable box or a satellite receiver and watch TV on your monitor! Although the monitor doesn’t have a tuner to receive the TV signals from the air, HDMI + receiver box combination gives you the same TV experience. And another great example of the countless video sources you connect to is a Blu-ray® DVD/CD player.

Monitor Audio - i-deck 100 - iPod Deck

Monitor Audio - i-deck 100 - iPod Deck Review



Monitor Audio - i-deck 100 - iPod Deck Feature

  • Amplified player/dock for iPhone/iPod
  • Automatic Position Correction technology
  • Automatic bass management
  • Driver complement: two 3" C-CAM metal cone bass drivers; two .75" Gold C-CAM metal dome tweeters
  • Wireless remote control
Monitor Audio's i-deck 100 is small and elegant enough to blend with any space but can fill the largest rooms with astonishingly clear, full-frequency sound that's comparable with many full-sized hi-fi systems. "Behind the sculptural aesthetics of Monitor Audio's new iDevice docks you'll find some interesting engineering, including room correction and a well-spec'd DAC," notes Michael Berk in his July 26, 2011 review for Sound and Vision magazine. Dock your iPod or iPhone, and the i-deck 100 streams its pure digital signal to a high-performance audio engine consisting of two 3" C-CAM bass drivers individually powered by customized twin 30-watt 'Class D' amplifiers, and two .75" C-CAM Gold dome tweeters, each driven by precision-tuned 15-watt power modules. The i-deck takes maximum advantage of its digital connection to your iPhone or iPod. It bypasses Apple's DAC and instead boosts sonic performance by utilizing the i-deck's 28/56-bit dual precision DAC instead. Each time you plug it in the i-deck 100, it intelligently adjusts its sound to compensate for room-boom and positioning via Automatic Position Correction technology, so you'll enjoy a wider, more natural performance than you'd expect from such a compact design. How does it perform this feat? The i-deck incorporates a built-in microphone that 'listens' to the acoustics of your room and uses its digital equalization and digital signal processing to adjust for i-deck's placement near a wall, in a corner, or all by its lonesome out in space. Automatic bass management is another great feature. It makes sure you're getting plenty of solid, undistorted bass whether you've got the volume turned down low or cranked way high.
