Straying away from the TV screens that were recently announced, Westinghouse has gone to the computer monitor department and has created some pretty nice monitors. They are set to come in sizes from 16-inches, 19-inches, 22-inches, and 26-inches. Westinghouse claims that these monitors are perfect for your home, office, or even dorm, they are very stylish and could work anywhere. Westinghouse doesn’t give these monitors a name, so I will just call it the “L series” as they all start with L for their name.

There are six models total in the L series. Let’s begin with the L1610NW (Consumer) and L1614NW (Commercial) which are both 16-inch LCD Monitors. They will be available in March 2008 with an estimated retail price of $169.

• Contrast Ratio 500:1
• 8ms response time,  D-sub
• DayBright™ panel technology for stunning daytime or nighttime viewing
• Energy Star and RoHS compliant
