ViewSonic 24-inch HD LCD
ViewSonic has recently and quietly announced it has added the VG2427 to its range of LCD monitors. The 24-inch panel has a 1920x1080 native resolution in a 16:9 aspect ratio and sports a 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio as well as 300cd/m2 brightness. Its stand swivels and is height-adjustable, while two hidden stereo speakers and a pair of USB ports are built-in.
An ECO mode is said to use up as much as 30 percent less energy than competing products. The VG2427 is available for purchase now, priced at $499.

Must say I HATE this trend to 16:9 computer monitors (from 16:10)... it's like we all just had an additional 1920 x 200 pixels lopped off. There is no reason on earth to do this... except to deliver less product for the same general price range.
