You’re used to see­ing 120Hz fre­quen­cies on LCD TVs. The ben­e­fit of 120Hz over 60Hz is that motion blur is reduced when view­ing fast mov­ing objects on TV. Viewsonic is bring­ing that motion blur-busting tech­nol­ogy to LCD mon­i­tors. The VX2265wm LCD mon­i­tor sports a 120Hz fre­quency and is claimed to be the world’s first for a LCD mon­i­tor. The 120Hz fre­quency is sup­ported by a very fast 3ms response time. The dual-link DVI input is for its stereo­scopic 3D capa­bil­i­ties. The con­trast ratio of 1000:1 is very good for a monitor.

My guess is that hard­core gam­ing addicts would kill for the VX2265wm. Or will they. The really crazy gamers already use huge LCD TVs decked out with all the bells and whis­tles to play games that require super­com­put­ing power. So the VX2265wm seems to be tar­geted at hard­core gamers who don’t have a bud­get for a real high-end LCD TV. I hope the price is right.

Eventually, most if not all of the fea­tures seen in today’s high-end LCD TVs will fil­ter down to tomorrow’s high-end LCD mon­i­tors, except for maybe the dig­i­tal tuner since we’ll already have one in our desk­top or note­book PC. So in the not-so-distant future, expect to see LED back­lights with local dim­ming capa­bil­ity lead­ing to really impres­sive dynamic con­trast when watch­ing movies, 120Hz as a stan­dard fea­ture, greater than 100% NTSC color gamut based on RGB LED back­lights, motion inter­po­la­tion, dein­ter­lac­ers and upscalers built-in, etc.
