VSD220 with Smart Display, Viewsonic ventures into a pretty fun concept, integrating the operating system with a flat touch screen. Cousin of the PC all-in-one as we know it in Windows, monitor with a LCD panel 21.5 inches (54 cm diagonal) embarks indeed the Android operating system (4.0.4 ). That can customize it with applications. Adding that it has also - of course - a micro-HDMI input to connect to a computer running Windows 7 or 8. See all this in detail.
reality
Laid straight, perpendicular to the office for office use Toshiba PA3534U-1BRS Battery in the manner of a computer screen, or almost flat (about 30 degrees) to use touch VSD220 the Viewsonic offers good ergonomics. If the chassis, gloss black, is quite messy and rather plain design, the concept of the unit, he is interesting.
Functions of Android giant
If the screen is not connected to a computer, it starts in a few seconds on the Android interface as it exits the standby mode (about 30 seconds when it is completely off). At this point, users of smartphones or Android tablets quickly gather their brands and can fully exploit the device. Others go groping through menus to set their individual accounts (Google, Exchange email, POP, etc..) And download apps. Note that all the apps are not compatible with VSD220! Some are clearly identified - the system - as incompatible and it is impossible to install. This is the case of applications, yet very practical in everyday life, such as M¨¦t¨¦o France, Sytadin, Inrix Traffic, etc.. Others Sony VGP-BPS8 Battery are only half compatible. If they are installed and launched well, they are displayed in portrait mode (like a smartphone held vertically) while the Viewsonic only be used in landscape mode. Too bad, because it is impossible to lock the rotation of the display on the Smart Display VSD220. However, we like the webcam required to perform video conferencing with friends and family via Skype, for example. Noted finally that if the responsiveness of the touchscreen is decent, however the system has shown some delays in our tests Android.
Touch screen for Windows 7 and Windows 8
If this is not specified by the manufacturer, the SmartDisplay VSD220 can still do also act as touch screen desktop PC running Windows 8. Thus, once connected HDMI and USB (with cables included), it is recognized as an external display panel. The environment is Windows 8 - unlike Windows 7 - particularly suited to touch the Smart Display VSD220 is comfortable in this scenario.
A computer monitor just ok
The problem is that the eye or the sight of measurements made by our probe, Smart Display VSD offers 220 brightness (148 cd / m2) and contrast ratio (941:1) just a little . The glossy coating makes the slab level of visual comfort just ok. Unfortunately, we can not compare monitors input range of our comparison, because the Smart Display hp pavilion dv6 battery can not be calibrated (some of our tests can not be performed). This is another fault monitor: offers no access to the settings of brightness and contrast, or to any preset modes (cinema, games, office, etc.)..
Optimizations hoped for V2
IF the concept is interesting, almost tempting Similarly, we hope that Viewsonic will focus quickly on a version 2 a little more optimized, even simply an update of the firmware (firmware) of this product. The main improvement to do in an emergency is the web browser. The pages are displayed full screen and it is impossible to reduce the display to find a good ease of use and reading ...
the verdict
The Smart Display VSD220 is a concept all-in-one that does nothing innovative, but it works on Dell Studio 1537 Battery makes browsing emails and other applications daily, fast and intuitive. However, if the touchscreen is quite responsive, the display quality of the Smart Display VSD220 is not fully satisfactory. Suitable for office and multimedia practice to control Windows 8 with your fingertips, the slab is not flattering when it comes to using video games and even less to do photo editing.
