Asus MW221u

04 Jun, 2007, 11:13 am IST | Jayesh Mansukhani | Monitors

The OSD controls of the MW221u are as annoying as the controls of the PW201. While the PW201 had an electronic touch-panel, the MW221u has a standard pair of touch keys, which at times were unresponsive to even the hardest of jabs and when they did register often caused menu lag. Considering the premium and care Asus normally places on its products, it is beyond comprehension why they insist on equipping their monitors with these "headache causing" controls. The back of the monitor has the D-SUB and DVI-D ports present along with the audio-in port for the multimedia speakers of the monitor.

The base of the MW221u as we have mentioned before is made out of a thick metal cast, which while adding unnecessary weight to the monitor also restricts a users chance of moving it around too much. In a similar vein, the MW221u also lacks height adjustability a must in any monitor today. When you combine these two points together, you get a major negative strike against this monitor as getting that perfect viewing angle and height is just a total pain in the neck.
