'In addition to providing the performance people expect from ViewSonic, our ViewDock displays offer innovative options, such as the integrated iPod dock, to allow consumers to easily make the most of their digital devices, content and desktop real estate.'

The displays are both Mac- and Windows-compatible; for more information see the Web pages for the VX1945wm and VX2245wm.
