But if you’re in the market for a real TV, Viewsonic has you covered too. So covered, in fact, that they released six TVs today just to make sure you had a selection to choose from.

You’ve got six models; I’ll give you the quick rundown:

Not the actual notebook, just a bad Photoshop job of a 22-inch ViewSonic monitor and that computer that fits in a keyboard.

You’ll need a perfect storm of the following three elements in order to enjoy this bit of news:

• Must like ViewSonic products
• Must want a netbook or an overwhelmingly large notebook

Here’s a relatively affordable full HD TV from ViewSonic. The VT2430 is a 24-inch, 1080p LCD with an ATSC/NTSC/QAM tuner, 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 5ms response time, 300cd/m2 brightness, a VGA input, composite/component/S-Video inputs, and a single HDMI input. The company’s positioning the TV for “the other room,” meaning the bedroom, children’s playroom, kitchen, or office. You could use it in a small living room, though, provided you didn’t need to hook too many HDMI-based devices up to it.

MSRP is $399, but you’ll able to find it for less online ($375 at Amazon, for instance).

I know, I know. The VGA HD AV cable has been out for three years, but I was in between TVs and only had a monitor to game on. I’ll keep this review short and sweet.

Short Version: A full-featured 22-inch HDTV with a built-in DVD player for under $400, the N2201w from ViewSonic is a great option as a bedroom TV, office TV, or dedicated gaming TV.

The latest digital picture frames from ViewSonic are, how you say, commonplace. Yeah, nothing exciting like WiFi or cell connectivity but that’s alright; they’re new so we’re all over ‘em. The DPG801BK and DPG807BK have 8-inch screens with 800×600 resolution, 500:1 contrast ratio and 512MB of internal memory, plus an USB port for external memory support. Owners can control the frames with with the touch sensitive buttons hidden up front or with the DPG807BK’s included remote. The DPG801BK and DPG807BK are available online now for $119 and $159, respectively.

Short Version: At well under $600, the 25.5-inch ViewSonic VA2626wm is a good monitor for those of you who want to get into the huge LCD game at a reasonable price. While considered to be somewhat inferior to the comparable Samsung 2693HM, the ViewSonic carries an enticing $50 mail-in rebate until the end of November. Also, it’s good as a computer monitor but it’s even better hooked up to an Xbox 360.

If anybody buys this, will you please leave a comment so I can live vicariously through you? Unfortunately all my monitors are currently working just fine, otherwise I’d buy this myself. Buy.com has the 20-inch Viewsonic VA2026W monitor for $179.99 with free shipping, plus a $30 mail-in rebate that’s good until November 2nd.

Specs include a 1680×1050 resolution, 2000:1 contrast ratio, 5ms refresh time, and VGA/DVI inputs. Sure, it’s missing HDMI and built-in speakers but, hey, that’s still a lot of screen real estate for not a lot of money.

If you’re a teacher or a business suit type and like to bore students and colleagues with boring video or presentations then ViewSonic has three DLP projectors for you. The 62 series all have 2×5W speakers, RGB, composite and S-Video inputs on top of the closed captioning functionality. Like whoa. With a native resolution of 1024×768 and 2000:1 contrast ratio with brightnesses of 2300 (PJD6220), 2700 (PJD6230) and 3200 (PJD6240) the 62 series of projectors are out of this world! There’s even an Eco Mode that reduces fan noise and extends the life of the lamp to 4000 hours. The projectors start out at $899. They’re “straight fire” as John would say.

Today at Nvision, Viewsonic showcased a 22-inch LCD prototype with a 3ms gray-to-gray response time and 120Hz technology. The unnamed display (currently dubbed the VX2265wm, but it could change) also features two 2W stereo speakers and Dual Link DVI digi input. With a resolution of 1680×1050, 300 nits brightness and a 1000:1 contrast ratio it’s not a bad setup to have. Of course, the display is primed for 3D gaming when coupled with NVIDIA’s GeForce Stereoscopic 3D gaming technology. Expect to see these displays later this year.

At 5,000 lumens, the new ViewSonic PJ1173 could function as a bat signal. This high performance projector supports 1080p with a native resolution of 1024×768 (wait, what? Ask them.) and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. They say it produces large crisp visuals, even in well lit rooms.

With its picture quality and added features, the PJ1173 was developed to create an ‘experience’ for the user and audience at a competitive price,” said Jeff Volpe, vice president of Global Brand and Emerging Technologies, ViewSonic.

Bold words. If you are looking to pick up the PJ1173, it’s only available now through authorized ViewSonic professional audio-visual resellers for a street price of $3,799. So cheap!

Here’s ViewSonic’s 47-inch 1080p LCD TV with built-in ATSC/NTSC/QAM TV tuner. Contrast ratio is pretty good at 6000:1 with 11 input connections that include three HDMI 1.3 ports. Yay! I like it. I want one. I must have one.

here. Picture quality is crisp and clear. You can also see the difference the 4000:1 contrast ratio makes as well as the 2ms response time. I haven’t had a chance to do any gaming on it, but from the videos I’ve watched on it, I’m sure I won’t be disappointed. Get one, better yet, get two for yourself this holiday season.

budget LCD roundup at ComputerShopper.com. If you’re not picky about your monitor’s features, but are just looking to, you know, see what you’re doing on your computer, it looks like the Gateway FPD1975W is the answer, nabbing top honors amongst the five 19- to 20-inch displays tested all priced under $350. The review says “it’s a simple monitor that packs a punch despite its $229.99 price,” and ably handled DVD viewing and gaming, though there was some noticeable streaking during faster on-screen action.

Other models reviewed were the Dell E207WFP, NEC MultiSync LCD195WVXM, Samsung SyncMaster 906BW and ViewSonic VX1945wm ViewDock. And none of them were complete disappointments, though the Dell scored lowest due to poor gray-scale performance and washed out colors during DVD playback.
