ASUS PW201 TFT-LCD Monitor

Great image quality
Great color output
Number of connectivity options
Very expensive
Poor webcam software
Multimedia speakers are unusable

Widescreen monitors are slowly becoming the preferred choice, as larger resolutions and bigger aspect ratios of 16:9 or 16:10 provide a wider work area. Suitable for office, where one can view two document windows simultaneously, to watching movies in the native aspects, widescreen monitors have a definite advantage over current prevailing monitors.

The monitor we are reviewing here today is ASUS’s PW201. The Asus PW201 is a 20-inch LCD Panel, with a native widescreen resolution of 1680x1050 and has a response time of 8ms with a 800:1 contrast ratio.

The PW201 for a 20 inch monitor sure packs in a huge array of connectivity options. Apart from the standard VGA and DVI outs, the monitor also has composite, component, and S-Video slots, along with a 1.3 MP webcam, 3 USB 2.0 ports and a headphone jack. It even has two separate 3W speakers and offers a P.I.P facility. The only thing missing here is HDMI and I am pretty sure a future release of this monitor will pack in that too.

The product is good but i can't understand which market it caters to? The speakers i'm guessing are intended only for functional purpose and not for listening to music or games. On the other hand, the screen seems to be very good for gaming and videos.

they should have worked on the webcam problem. Buggy software and poor add-ons like bad speakers and webcam will put people off and distract attention from the main goal i.E. Good display. And for their pricing, i don't know how they would compete with the dell widescreens.

if dell did not retail only through their crappy online ordering service, it would have dominated the indian market. Dell needs to reailze that not everyone is comfortable ordering online with that kind of cash and needs to reach out to distributors also

38k is atrocious pricing. You can get a great view sonic 20" lcd doing 1680 x 1050 at 5ms for 18k. And who needs these crapy speakers and webcam anyway. Purely flaunt value stuff.
