ViewSonic Intro 24″ VTMS2431 LCD Multimedia 1080p HDTV [Home TV & Signage Display]

Viewsonic have unveiled their new VTMS2431 LCD Multimedia HDTV (incidentally, ViewSonic’s first multimedia LCD HDTV) which comes with a Full HD 24″ display as well as ATSC/NTSC/QAM tuner and internal media player allowing the VTMS2431 to serve happily as both a home HDTV or a digital signage display (or both, if using the TV is about the only way you can get through to your kids).

Coming with the afore mentioned tuner and integrated media player, the ViewSonic VTMS2431 HDTV additionally sports USB and RS-232 connectivity – the former allowing ease of transfer of video and imagery for signage, the latter allowing the VTMS2431 to be controlled remotely (once again, aimed specifically at signage but great for teaching the kids a lesson should your attempts at ‘it’s time for bed now as I want to play my console a while – its me who pays the bills in the house, you know – not that you’d know it….’ signage fails to achieve the desired effect.

ViewSonic in their infinite wisdom have not offered any details concerning brightness, contrast ratio, response time, etc, etc, but have, at least, been nice enough to let us know that their VTMS2431 HDTV will commence shipping sometime in Q2 of this year (spot the unspecific theme building) and will retail for $449 (damn, that’s quite specific).
