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 an LED backlit monitor, white LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are used as the light source. Environmentally friendly LED backlights provide the following benefits:

• Up to 50%* less power consumption compared to a traditional a CCFL monitor
• 20M:1 MEGA Dynamic Contrast Ratio
• Environmentally friendly mercury-free backlight
• Low EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference)
• Slimmer design
• Weight reduction

Full HD 1080p for Superior Pixel Performance

The ViewSonic VA2249S display features Full HD 1920x1080 resolution to deliver superior pixel-by-pixel performance for a more realistic viewing experience. At this resolution you'll experience greater image clarity and detail--qualities that will bring high-definition TV programs, HD movies and other multimedia content to life.

SuperClear IPS Wide Viewing Angles for Consistent Color Performance

Get the best view, wherever you are. Industry-leading SuperClear IPS technology delivers 178-degrees of vertical and horizontal viewing angles. Experience accurate, vivid colors, and consistent brightness levels whether you're looking at the screen from above, below, the front, or the side--with no distortion or decay.

MEGA Dynamic Contrast Ratio Delivers Rich Color Performance

Dynamic contrast ratio defines a differentiating relationship between darkest and brightest colors when reproducing an image. With dynamic contrast ratio, VA2249S is capable of automatically detecting the brightness and darkness of an image and adjusts the LED backlight accordingly. It maximizes grayscale and color ranges and boosts contrast ratio to an 20,000,000:1, resulting in rich, vibrant visuals.

Eco-mode Conserves More Energy and Cuts Costs

ViewSonic's proprietary Eco-mode energy-saving feature is built into all LED displays, offering "Optimize (85%)" or "Conserve (70%)" settings that save up to 30%* in electricity costs. In low ambient light, Eco-mode adjusts brightness and improves visibility, while reducing eye fatigue. With Eco-mode, the lifespan of the LED backlighting is also greatly increased.

ENERGY STAR Certification
