PRODUCT COMPOSITION
This monitor seems to be available everywhere and can be purchased (sometimes with a discount) for the price of US$320-$350 dollars. This is what you physically get for your money. Please note that this press sample has a lot of mileage on it and your physical package will come in much better shape.
First out is the usual setup guide along with the driver/software CD. With this package there will be two discs. One for the actual monitor drivers (inside the main guide folder), and one for the webcam software (seen in sleeve).
The included complete hardware package contains the following:
1 -
Analog VGA Video Cable
1 - Digital Video Cable
1 - Power Cable
1 - Webcam USB Cable
1 - Audio/Microphone Cable
Everything needed
is provided and no different cables will be needed for any special situations.
And last out of the box is the monitor. This monitor follows Viewsonic's glossy black design with minimal trim other than a small metallic strip along the monitor's bottom. Although this monitor does indeed have an integrated webcam and microphone, you would be hard pressed to find it at a distance. Viewsonic has done a good job at integrating the features without making them an obvious feature. To most people, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this monitor and a very similar standard model.
