Because it easily attaches to a wall, ceiling or stand, the fully configurable VPW4255 affords users the choice of how and where to display it.

Beginning in July, the VPW4255 will be available through authorized ViewSonic resellers and retailers. It is backed by a one-year limited warranty on parts and labor with onsite service. An optional two-year extended warranty is also available.
