The SD-T225 and SD-T245 integrated thin client displays are designed for organizations requiring a secure and easy-to-manage solution for their virtual desktop implementations. The devices are optimized for all of the major remote networking protocols, including Microsoft RDP with RemoteFX, Citrix ICA/HDX, and PCoIP for VMware. The built-in 22' or 24' LED screen allows typical power consumption below 26 or 30 Watts, respectively, for a smaller ECO footprint. The SD-T225 and SD-T245 also provide feature-rich connectivity options, with four side-mounted USB ports for easy peripheral connection, and a DVI output for driving a dual monitor desktop.

Touch displays The TD2430ml is the newest addition to ViewSonic's Touch Display product portfolio featuring 10-point projected capacitive touch technology. Supporting both Linux and Windows operating systems, the TD2430ml is designed to be an excellent touch display for commercial environments. Designed with durable scratch-resistant screen with 7H surface hardness, this 24' display provides a fast and accurate touch experience. The TD2430ml is also great for general consumers with its Windows 8 compatibility and 10-point touch capability.

VX entertainment monitors Following ViewSonic's 4K technology demonstration at last year's CES, the company is launching new displays with this ultra high definition resolution. The VX2880ml brings Ultra HD 4K2K resolution to desktop computing with a friendly price tag, as the display delivers stunning 3240 x 2160 resolution, 50M:1 MEGA Dynamic Contrast Ratio, and an ultra-fast 2ms response time for best-in-class screen performance.
