We’ve heard of smartphones, smart TVs, smartwatches, but smart displays? Granted this isn’t exactly new but it’s not one that we regularly come across but that is exactly what display manufacturer, ViewSonic, has recently announced. The company has recently announced their second-generation smart display which comes in the form of the VSD241 and is a 24” monitor that comes with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with an NVIDA Tegra 3 quad-core chipset under the hood. There is also a smaller VSD221 which is presumably the same device, just with a smaller screen at 22”.

Apart from the rather interesting notion of a display running Android (which makes it sound like a giant tablet), the VSD241 will feature HDMI connectivity that will allow it to pair with laptops or tablets, along with two full-sized USB 2.0 ports, a micro USB and mini USB port, SD card storage, an Ethernet port, built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, and can be used as a standalone device or as an extended display. Priced at $499, the VSD241 will be available for purchase starting from today, while its smaller 22” VSD221 sibling will be available in December for $399.

ViewSonic has recently announced their newest Full HD monitor, the VX2770Sml-LED.

It also has two built-in 1.5W stereo speakers and has DVI, D-Sub and HDMI/MHL connectors. Pricing info is still unknown at the moment. [ViewSonic]

ViewSonic does not only roll out monitors and TVs that hit the sweet spot in your bank account without breaking it, they are also involved in other aspects of the imaging business, and ultra-short throw networked projectors are another revenue earner for the company. In fact, ViewSonic has just announced their latest PJD8 series that will come with a wide range of features including dual pen interactivity and advanced connectivity functionality. Do expect to see the projector models such as the PJD8353s, PJD8653ws, PJD8333s and PJD8633ws appear in catalogues really soon.

Since these are ultra short throw, networkable projectors, they can be mounted right above a whiteboard or screen without the need to create hot spots, shadows or casting bright light in front of the presenter. Not only that, the internal Crestron LAN controller makes life a whole lot easier for IT administrators, as they can remotely control and manage multiple projectors from their workstations. The inclusion of AMX Device Discovery certification opens the door for easy integration, and you will also not get short changed when it comes to imaging quality, as all PJD8 series projectors will feature BrilliantColor technology, a 2600-3000 ANSI lumens brightness, HDMI connectivity, integrated 16w speakers, LAN control and DynamicEco, dual pen interactivity, and a mobile app for smartphone and tablet functionality.
