ViewSonic Ignites Projector Market with Award Winning Products and Growth; Focus on Quality and Performance Drives Sales and Industry Recognition

Business Wire, April 18, 2006

WALNUT, Calif. -- ViewSonic Corp. today announced that its first quarter projector sales in the Americas region increased 104 percent from 1Q05 to 1Q06. Adding to its list of more than 2,000 awards, the company was recently awarded the title of "Best Business Projector" by PC Magazine and achieved "highest ratings for both performance and value" on ProjectorCentral.com.

ViewSonic's 104 percent growth and industry recognition can be attributed to its recently enhanced line of projectors that include portable, home theatre and large boardroom displays.

"ViewSonic is taking projector market share by offering a broad line of competitively priced, feature-rich and stylish projectors," said Jeff Volpe, vice president of marketing, ViewSonic Americas. "These results point to the increased demand our customers are seeking for versatile products that are capable of serving double duty in both home and business environments."

Earning outstanding results in recent third-party testing facilities, ViewSonic's 4.9-pound PJ458D, with an estimated street price of $999, is a 2,000 lumen DLP(R) projector that provides optimum viewing for both data and video. The projector features native XGA resolution of 1024x768, a 2000:1 contrast ratio and supports HDTV signals--making it more practical for home, office and education applications. ViewSonic's other award-winning DLP projector is the 2.2-pound PJ256D, with a XGA resolution of 1024x768 and a 2000:1 contrast ratio.

The projectors are sold with ViewSonic's superior customer support program that includes a three-year limited product warranty and one year of Express Exchange(R) service at no additional charge, along with 24/7 technical support, excluding major U.S. holidays.
