You may not need a top-of-the-line professional monitor for easy daily works such as writing, Web surfing, learning, gaming or video viewing, but you'll still need a good monitor with great performance and affordable price without compromising on ease of use, image quality and environmental friendliness. This is where ViewSonic's latest VA1931wma comes in. With the premium 16:9 display of 100,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, the capability to dynamically adjust the backlit module according to the input signal, 1366x768 resolution with 1080p HD compatibility, brilliant colors, darker black and no distortion, the Windows 7-certified VA1931wma offers a full array of functions via its OSD interface, including the TCO 5.0 and Energy Star 5.0-compliant Eco-mode that automatically reduces power consumption by up to 40% and therefore extends backlight life significantly.
