ViewSonic outs 23-inch VP2365wb and 26-inch VP2655wb IPS LCD monitors

ViewSonic’s last round of LCDs were nothing short of unforgettable, but these two might actually grab (and retain) your attention if you consider yourself a “professional.” The 23-inch VP2365wb and 26-inch VP2655wb both fall into the firm’s VP series of 1080p pro LCDs, and the both of ‘em are blessed with IPS panels and 4-port USB hubs. You’ll also find pivoting stands on the pair, and while the 23-incher gets a 1,920 x 1,080 native resolution, the big boy steps it up to 1,920 x 1,200 and offers a 118 percent NTSC wide color gamut for those discerning retinas of yours. Interested? The duo is available now if you look in the right places, and while the VP2365wb will cost you just $399, the larger sibling will ding you for $1,299.

Sewell’s DisplayLink-enabled USB-to-DVI / VGA / HDMI adapter does 2,048 x 1,152
It’s been a hot minute since we’ve seen a totally useful display adapter from Sewell, but the outfit’s latest is certainly worth a gander if you’ve been yearning to push high-def signals through USB. The Minideck USB-to-DVI / VGA / HDMI (video only) adapter utilizes the DisplayLink DL-195 chip, which provides support for resolutions as high 2,048 x 1,152, so 1080p and 1,920 x 1,200 LCD monitors are well taken care of. Best of all, this thing doesn’t require a Core i7 rig to operate, so your 5 year old corporate laptop should be plenty to handle the rigors of powering a 24-inch LCD via a dusty old USB socket. It’s all yours right now for $99.95.

Acer serves up HX2000 and FHX3200 LCD monitors for overseas lovers

Got a thing for glossy black, narrow bezels and decent resolutions? If so, why not have a gander at Acer’s latest duo? Announced this fine morning over in Japan, the HX2000 is a 20-inch panel with a 1,600 x 900 resolution, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 300 nits of brightness and a five millisecond response time. The big brother has admittedly garnered the majority of our love, as the 23-inch FHX2300 packs a 40,000:1 contrast ratio, 300 nits of brightness, a five millisecond response time, an HDMI socket and a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution. There’s no word yet on pricing and availability for the little guy, but the large card should launch soon in the Land of the Rising Sun for around ¥20,000 ($214).
