ASUS PW201 TFT-LCD Monitor

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.
