ViewSonic Corp., the computer monitor maker based just over the Los Angeles County line in Walnut, doesn’t want you to think it’s just into monitors.
And ViewSonic is making a big deal about it at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week.
ViewSonic took out a big multi-level floor space at this year’s CES and launched a campy ad campaign aimed at making the public aware the company makes everything from network access equipment to televisions to personal computers.
One ad features a guy with tattoos all over his body. The text reads “I’m more than just a stockbroker; and ViewSonic is more than just the No. 1 selling monitor brand.”
Call ’em Sony, because ViewSonic seems to sell just about everything under the sun.
The company unveiled a set of flat-panel televisions that link with home computers and speaker systems through a set of wireless ViewSonic-brand routers.
Routers? Isn’t that the territory of Linksys or D-Link?
“It supports our other products,” said Trevor Bratton, a ViewSonic spokesman. “Pretty much anything visual, we will do.”
The televisions this year come on top of the tablet PCs, which ViewSonic unveiled at last year’s CES.
