Hands-on experience with ViewSonic’s cutting-edge product portfolio will present visitors with a multitude of solutions for their home and business visual display needs.

All three displays feature ViewSonic’s ECO Mode, which offers 40% less power consumption and a longer product life.

ViewSonic will also be displaying their latest range of high resolution digital photo frames that display photos in beautiful colour and vivid detail.

The easy-to-use frames have touch controls that enable users to scroll through their photos, create a slideshow or add MP3 audio to their viewing and the hidden control buttons appear illuminated once the screen is touched, maintaining a fingerprint-free screen and smooth lines on the frame.

‘This year during Gitex ViewSonic will take the opportunity to feature our innovative product lines in an up-close, personal way and use live demonstrations to make clear the superior technology of our display solutions,’ explained Aaron Fright, Regional Director, ViewSonic Middle East & Africa.

‘Customers and partners will walk away with first-hand knowledge of our feature-packed products which consistently offer superb design and performance with displays that include ultra fast response times, ultra high resolutions, and advanced ergonomic features.’

ViewSonic will also use Gitex as a platform to showcase their PJD6210 and PJ359w projectors.

The best price performance XGA PJD6210 DLP projector comes with a 2,700 dynamic contrast ratio and delivers amazingly clear images with the digital clarity of DLP’s BrilliantColor technology, featuring multi-color processing to produce nearly 50% brighter colours.

Its built-in Eco-mode extends lamp life up to 4,000 hours and reduces fan noise as low as 32db.

The impressive PJ359w ultra-portable, 16:10 wide-screen, business projector is specially designed to be compatible with widescreen-format laptops and imaging applications and has a short-throw lens for large, stunning images in small spaces enabling a screen size of up to 50-inches from just 1.6 meters.

Its built-in HDMI 1.3 connector supports HD signals up to 1080p ensuring signal integrity for superior HD video and picture quality.

Visitors to the Novotel will also have the opportunity to learn more about the innovative production approach that distinguishes ViewSonic from its competitors and allows it to drive display market trends to the end user faster than other regional monitor brands.

‘The Middle East is an extraordinarily important market for ViewSonic where we lead over competition in the LCD segment and anticipate a continuation of our impressive year-on-year growth,’ continued Fright.

‘Meeting with both new and existing customers and partners during Gitex allows us to cement our strong commercial footprint throughout the region and to fully demonstrate our expertise in display images.’

ViewSonic will be showcasing their products in the Amethyst room on the 1st floor of the Novotel, as well as with their partner Al Yousef on Stand C in Hall 4 at Gitex.

ViewSonic will also be holding in-store promotions at power-retailers including Emax, Sharaf DG, CompuMe and Plug Ins.
