FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Envision Peripherals Inc. (EPI), home to the AOC and Envision branded displays, today expanded its Envision line of value priced high-performance displays with the introduction of a new series of TFT active-matrix LCD monitors that allow users to take advantage of the benefits of Microsoft’s new Windows Vista Operating System.

Featuring a matte-black cabinet with sleek low-profile design, these units complement virtually any PC or Mac computer, while saving valuable desk-top real estate. Their durable screens are finished with a glare-resistant hard coating that reduces eye-strain and helps prevent scratch-damage.

Vista Premium Certified Envision G918w1

Built to maximize screen space for Windows Vista Premium’s Sidebar feature, the new Envision 19-inch G918w1 meets Microsoft’s strict standards for Windows Vista certification, leaving plenty of room for viewing multiple applications simultaneously.

The Envision G918w1 delivers 1440x900 maximum screen resolution for stunning picture clarity.
