ViewSonic's ViewDock LCD Displays are the world's first iPod Docking LCD Monitors to be launched in 19 inch and 22 inch wide-screen formats with the sleek, slim bezel design and the beautiful glossy, piano-black finish, priced at USD 299 and USD 449 respectively backed by a 3-year limited warranty and award-winning FREE 24/7 customer service and support.

You can use the dock just like a standard dock, to sync and charge your iPod. But the real news comes from the connection's other purpose - a direct connection to use the monitor as the iPod's display, letting you just plop your iPod in to watch some videos or listen to music stored on your iPod. But for this you need to have your PC running. Looks like you could do the same exact thing with a $39 iPod dock and a conventional LCD.

The integrated multimedia base can transform your desktop into a digital multimedia destination and reduce desktop clutter as you dock your iPod, connect your game control or joy stick, mouse and keyboard through the four direct-to-base USB ports. It also features an 8-in-1 media card reader, microphone and headphone jacks. Multiple digital and analog inputs in the monitor give you flexible entertainment options. Connect your game console, camcorder, DVD player and other electronic components and enjoy big screen entertainment.

The integrated stereo speakers and sub-woofer also help to save more desktop space.

The 16:10 aspect ratio of the display enhances gaming and HD movie viewing so you don't miss a bit of the action. It also allows greater productivity with two documents or applications viewable side-by-side on the wide-screen display.

If you are concerned about desktop space then ViewDock is the right choice.
