Hmmm, just what movie is this anyway?

It wasn't all stereoscopic screens and crazy 3D glasses at ViewSonic's showing at CES. The company also introduced a new 24-inch monitor, the VX2433.

In keeping with what seems to be a trend with monitors at this year's CES, the new 24-inch display has a 16:9 aspect ratio and includes a "Full HD" 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution. However, connection options are limited to HDMI, so I hope that ViewSonic includes at least a DVI-to-HDMI cable.

The display has a 2ms pixel response time and an aspect ratio adjustment that, according to the company, ensures your images are never distorted regardless of signal source. The display also includes integrated SRS WOW HD speakers and an Ecomode that automatically reduces power consumption and can extend backlight life.

The ViewSonic VX2433 will be available soon for $279, according to the company.

Eric Franklin refused to write a bio, saying, "Why are you bothering me about this bio business again? If I wanted people to know more about me, I'd send them to the Inside CNET Labs Podcast" (shameless plug). E-mail Eric.

Looks like a great price with great features !<br /><br />http://reviews.cnet.com/best-lcd-monitors/?tag=leftColumnArea1.0<br /><br />The Viewsonic is a much better deal than the 5 lcds reviewed in your earlier cnet review.<br /><br />Eric I value your expertise in these matters and hope to get a full review on the unit.

Actually, the product page at Viewsonic states that it does have DVI-D input. <br /><br />http://hk.viewsonic.com/en/products/productspecs.php?id=345<br /><br />I just bought one from Frys.com and it should be here by the 25th or so. I can't wait - I'm upgrading from a 19" Sony Trinitron (CRT) that is now over 6 years old and totally washed out. <br /><br />I'm sure all of my games and DVD's will take on a new life ... :)

About CES

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is the world's largest consumer electronics trade show. CES 2009 is scheduled for January 8 through 11 in Las Vegas, and it will feature thousands of exhibitors showcasing their latest tech products. CNET's team of reporters and reviewers will be at the show, covering technology's heavy hitters and previewing thousands of products before they are released to the public.

Each year, CNET, in partnership with the Consumer Electronics Association, produces the Best of CES awards at the International Consumer Electronics Show.
