Bookstand Option The VX2453mh-LED features a very innovative industrial design, which allows it to be utilized with either the traditional base or in a bookstand configuration.

What is a LED monitor? The term "LED monitor" generally refers to a monitor with a LCD panel and a LED backlight. A typical LCD monitor uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) as a light source to illuminate the LCD panel. In an LED backlit monitor, white LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are used as the light source. Environmentally friendly LED backlight provide the following benefits:
About 40% less power consumption compared to traditional CCFL monitor
30,000,000:1 MEGA Contrast Ratio
Environmentally friendly mercury-free backlight
Low EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference)
Slimmer design
Weight reduction
Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamp
LED: Light Emitting Diode
Zero Bright Dot With over 2 million pixels in a 1080p panel, you want perfect pixel performance. ViewSonic's Zero Bright Dot policy for selected models gives you the best in picture performance. You get to see it all every time. Since pixel failures generally occur at the time of manufacture or during initial usage, just let us know within 30 days of your original purchase and we will replace your monitor. This applies to the following models only: VA2231wm, VA2431wm, VX2250wm-LED, VX2450wm-LED, VX2453mh-LED, VX2453mh-LED, VX2753mh-LED.
Save cash and save the planet With its mercury free backlight and low energy consumption, the Energy Star 5.0 certified VX2453mh-LED is not only environmentally friendly but also friendly on your electricity bill as well. This can add up to thousands of dollars saved for large install bases, such as big corporate buildings or schools, the savings can be as dramatic as $20,000 in five years!
MEGA dynamic contrast ratio One of the great features of VX2453mh-LED is its ability to dim the backlight completely for pure darkness during dark scenes such as a night shot in a movie. Contrast ratios refer to the ratio of the brightest color to the darkest color. With traditional CCFL backlit displays, contrast ratios are limited to the fluorescent lamp’s ability to dim in order to reproduce darkness. However, with the LED backlight, each LED has the ability to completely shut off allowing for a near infinite ratio of black to white contrast. The end result is true blacks that result in greater overall image quality.
What is response time? Response time in monitors refer to the amount of time a pixel (dot) takes to go from black to white and back to black again. It is measured in milliseconds (ms). The lower the number, the faster the pixels can change, reducing the ghosting or streaking effect you might see in a moving or changing image such as in games and movies. Common response times range anywhere from 14ms to 5ms. Monitors that are designed for faster applications feature response times as fast as 2ms. These monitors are ideal for gamers, video enthusiasts, engineers and movie production houses.

Full HD 1080p Resolution The VX2453mh-LED features a 24" widescreen with 1920x1080 resolution that is capable of displaying a native Full HD 1080p image. Today, devices that can display Full HD content output are getting more and more common. However, without a native Full HD display, you will not be able to experience the picture clarity and the details of the 1080p content you view.
The Power of HDMI HDMI is one of the most powerful and widely available communication standards that connects digital audio/video sources such as set-top boxes, DVD players, personal computers (PCs, laptops), video game consoles such as the PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360, and AV receivers to compatible digital audio devices, computer monitors, and digital televisions. With just one cable, HDMI supports any TV or PC video format, including high-definition video and up to 8 channels of digital audio. This powerful technology comes standard in VX2453mh-LED. This way, you can connect your monitor to your desktop or laptop computer and work, surf the web or play games. Or you can connect it to your gaming console and enjoy the large 24" screen, 1ms response time and integrated speakers. You can even connect it to a cable box or a satellite receiver and watch TV on your monitor! Although the monitor doesn’t have a tuner to receive the TV signals from the air, HDMI + receiver box combination gives you the same TV experience. And another great example of the countless video sources you connect to is a Blu-ray DVD/CD player.
SRS Premium Sound ViewSonic partners with industry leading audio expert, SRS Labs, to provide you with a great sound experience. Now is the time to hear the true nature of sound with SRS Premium Sound technology on your monitor. SRS Premium Sound delivers a superior audio experience for music, video and games: more natural and immersive, with deeper bass, clearer dialog and outstanding surround sound. SRS Premium Sound software is included in the ViewSonic Wizard CD-ROM. It needs to be installed and should be running on your computer in order to deliver the great sound experience.
WITHOUT SRS Premium Sound: Flat audio sound, low bass

Diverse connectivity The VX2453mh-LED features three video inputs, Dual HDMI and VGA. You can connect three different sources at the same time and then toggle from one to another by selecting the input source through the On-Screen-Display (OSD). Also, you can connect your audio source to the VX2453mh-LED and listen through the integrated speakers or you can easily hook up your headphones to the monitor for privacy.
Eco-mode for up to 35% energy savings ViewSonic’s proprietary Eco Mode function comes standard with the VX2453mh-LED. When you don’t need all of the powerful features the VX2453mh-LED has to offer, you have the option to reduce the monitor’s brightness, save energy, and prolong the lamp life. You can select one of the “Optimize” or “Conserve” options and save up to 35% energy. Especially under low ambient light conditions, adjusting the brightness will improve visibility by reducing eye fatigue. Reducing brightness will also prolong the monitor’s lamp life, improving your return on investment.
