Overall, the Asus PW201 is a mixed bag. It’s image display and colour quality are among the best we have ever seen or tested. It offers a huge amount of connectivity options with a webcam and speakers truly making it a jack of all trades. However the negative points add up quickly. The cost of the monitor is simply too much. At Rs. 38,000 this monitor is grossly overpriced. Its price point actually places it directly in competition with the Dell 2407FWP a 24-inch monitor, which is a far superior product. The camera software needs a lot of work and the speakers are best avoided. If you can live with these negatives and intend to ignore the webcam and speakers, you will not find better image and picture quality anywhere else.
