ViewSonic demonstrates industry's first display with integrated iPod connectivity at GITEX

This will be the first time the ViewDock, which has been designed to be part of the digital lifestyles of the iPod generation, will be on display in the Middle East.

ViewSonic's evolution of the desktop monitor category supports growing trends in digital entertainment and the booming iPod accessory market. The ViewDock Series expands media player possibilities by integrating an iPod docking station into an ultra-stylish widescreen display. Additional features such as multiple connectivity options—including several USB 2.0 ports and an 8-in-1 card reader—along with a microphone, integrated stereo speakers and a subwoofer, combine to make the feature-rich monitors the hippest, must-have displays.

With the new consumer display line, ViewSonic not only offers millions of users a new dimension in expanded audio and video entertainment, but the opportunity to clean up and simplify their digital desktop as well. The display, which is more than 65 times larger than the iPod screen, feature excellent front-of-screen performance, including ultra-fast response times, high brightness and contrast ratios, as well as wide viewing angles for getting the most out of fast action games, downloaded video content and full-length movies.

"The ViewSonic ViewDock concept offers a unique opportunity for everyone, from teens and young adults to business professionals, to get the most from their digital devices," said Aaron Fright, Regional Manager, ViewSonic Middle East & Africa. "Merging ViewSonic's established front-of-screen performance with the iPod culture will drive new standards in desktop entertainment and ignite the next evolution in digital viewing capabilities."

Visitors to ViewSonic's stand, A4-16 Hall 4, will get the chance to win a ViewDock, through a business card draw.

ViewSonic ViewDock displays are expected to be available through selected retailers and resellers in the Middle East later in the year. Pricing is not yet available.
