Westinghouse Digital HD-Grade 17-Inch Widescreen Monitor

Westinghouse Digital Electronics, a company I have not heard anything about before, has released a 17-inch widescreen LCD monitor, and is recommending it as an essential back-to-school product for students of all ages. (of course they are, it is not like they’d recommend another companies)

Featuring a clean white chassis with silver trim and some decent technical specs, the monitor seems very well rounded.

Offering one DVI input, 1280×768 WXGA resolution, 15:9 aspect ratio, 400-cd/m2 maximum brightness, 600:1 contrast ratio, response time of 15 milliseconds and a 170-degree viewing angle, the monitor is currently available for an estimated $229 USD.

With a price and feature set like that, I hope to see more offerings from Westinghouse Digital Electronics. If anyone has any personal experience with this company, please let me know, as I would be interested to hear how their product compares to other major LCD makers.

Sharp to Phase Out LCD Monitor Business

Sharp is considering phasing out its overseas (outside of Japan) mainstream LCD monitor business and focusing on high-end monitors and LCD TVs, according to an unnamed executive at Nanjing Sharp Electronics, a joint venture between Sharp and Nanjing Panda Electronics, as reported by the China-based National Business Daily.

Since most of the monitors it produces are for high-end applications and the monitors all have TV functions and are categorized as TVs instead of monitors this should not be very noticeable in the marketplace though according to DisplaySearch, in the first quarter of this year, Sharp was the world’s top LCD TV vendor with shipments of nearly 659,000 units.
