ViewSonic
ViewSonic had one of the larger suites in the Venetian during the show. In recent months, ViewSonic brought a lot of attention to itself with the dual input VP171B, which was also based on AUO's 16ms 17" panel. The most important news from ViewSonic is the updated look and specifications on the newly revamped VG line. You can see the VG510 and the VG910 LCDs show below.Click to enlarge.
As you can see, the controls have been streamlined a bit and specifications have also been updated slightly. We are a little curious to see if the 600:1 contrast ratios really are 600:1 this time; so hopefully, we will get a sample in the lab soon. You can also see the VG810, the VG710 and part of the VG510 below as well.

It is always exciting to see a company revamp a product line, particularly one that is very cost conscious. ViewSonic has a long way to go in order to recover the trust of consumers after their incident with NEC, particularly concerning the VG line. Stay tuned for more ViewSonic coverage in the near future.

Actually, LGPhilips LCD invented IPS :) Hitachi and NEC are both using LGP's panels and technology.Hitachi has been on a pretty decent spiral into the ground for the last few years :( particularly as far as R+D

Great info about LCD! :)For 19'' S-IPS panel I wait for Hitachi or Nec.
The Eizo L565 have Hitachi panel and is the best I ever seen.
...can be because Hitachi have invented IPS technology? ;)

Two AGP cards in a single box? How did Liebermann manage that?
