What is 1ms 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.

Another first from Viewsonic! Being one of the technology leaders in the display industry, Viewsonic was the first to introduce an LCD monitor with 2ms response time back in 2005. Today, ViewSonic is here again to introduce the World’s first 27” monitor with 1ms response time delivering the long-awaited good news to gamers and video enthusiasts everywhere.

Full HD 1080p resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio The VX2739wm features a 27″ widescreen with 1920×1080 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 Viewsonic VX2739wm’s 27″ panel offers another new trend in the LCD panel market, the16:9 aspect ratio. This new aspect ratio not only natively supports Full HD 1080p content, but displays Full HD without distortion. For example, a 1920×1200 resolution monitor will also support Full HD 1080p but it will either stretch to fit into a full screen or would show blank side bars to avoid distortion. With a 16:9 aspect ratio panel, you will get the most out of your HD content since it is natively designed in this format.

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 VX2739wm. 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 27” screen, 1ms response time 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.

Diverse connectivity The VX2739wm features three video inputs, HDMI, DVI-D 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). You can also connect one of your computer’s USB ports to monitor’s USB uplink input which then multiplies the USB ports to four. You can even connect up to four USB devices to your monitor and save yourself from the hassle of reaching out to your computer’s USB ports. Also, you can connect your audio source to the VX2739wm 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 VX2739wm. When you don’t need all of the powerful features the VX2739wm has to offer, you have the option to reduce the monitor’s brightness, save energy, save the planet 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.

VESA mountable The VX2739wm features a 200mm x 100mm VESA mountable design that allows you to mount it on a monitor stand or wall , depending on your specific needs. You can detach the base easily by unscrewing four screws and then mount.

The Drupal overview

Although Drupal is often described as a “content management system” (CMS) it is also a “content management framework” (CMF). In other words, unlike a typical CMS, it is geared more towards configurability and customization. Picture a range of measurement where one end of the scale is labeled “specific” and the other end “abstract”. On the “specific” end of the spectrum, you would have something whose form is very specialized because it’s meant for a specific purpose—like, say, a hammer. On the other end of the spectrum, you would have something much more abstracted, that is available to be configured any way you like, for a variety of purposes—like some wood and a chunk of steel. You could make a hammer, or any number of other things with the wood and steel.

Of course, while chunks of wood and steel are more “configurable” than a hammer, they aren’t terribly useful because few people have the specialized knowledge to work with such raw materials. Drupal’s purpose is to sit in the sweet spot between the two ends of the scale, and create a sort of “builder’s kit” made up of pre-designed components that can be used as-is or can be extensively reconfigured to suit your needs. Its design provides incredible flexibility while still allowing people who aren’t programmers to make powerful websites. This principle of manageable abstraction is important to understand, because it is a central concept to all things Drupal. When you understand why a measured amount of abstraction is valuable, you’ll begin to understand why this approach is such a strong argument for using Drupal. Download here.
