ViewSonic Introduces First 17-Inch Graphics Monitor Using PerfectFlat Technology; GF775 Monitor Offers a Flicker Free Display With Distortion-Free True Images.NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 21, 1999-- ViewSonic Corporation today introduced the GF775, the company's first 17-inch flat screen monitor using patented PerfectFlat(TM) technology. Perfectly flat from edge to edge, the GF775 enhances visual quality and productivity by providing true, distortion-free images.
