ASUSTeK Computer Inc (ASUS), a leading provider of high-quality LCD monitors, today introduced the 20-inch, widescreen ASUS PW201, with built-in 1.3MP Webcam to deliver high-resolution video conferencing right out of the box. Its innovative pivot neck design further enables both vertical and horizontal viewing angles for optimised viewing comfort during different visual applications.
1.3MP Webcam - Video conference capability built in
With the 1.3MP, high-resolution Webcam built in and the exclusive LifeFrame software bundle, the PW201 is not just a display, but a right-out-of-the-box video conferencing solution as well. Rich video input and USB 2.0 support turn the all-new monitor into the ideal visual solution for business and entertainment. And let`s not forget the PW201`s Color Shine glare-type panel and wide view angle, delivering crystal clear images for movies and video conferences.
Vertical for Web surfing, horizontal for viewing panoramic photos
The PW201 offers both vertical and horizontal viewing angles through the innovative pivot neck design. Whether it`s surfing the Internet, using spreadsheets, viewing different photos or editing 3D graphics, it provides the most comfortable viewing position for any situations.
SPLENDID Video Intelligence Technology evaluates each pixel in every frame and adjusts them in smaller regions without affecting the whole picture. Colours, brightness, contrast and sharpness in each region are dynamically optimised according to conditions most favourable to the human eye. It offers five modes (standard, scenery, game, night view and theatre) and three skin tones (natural, reddish and yellowish) to satisfy the specific needs in various graphics functions. Watching videos with computers and LCD monitors are now as good as on the best TVs.
Designed with user experience in mind
OnScreen Display and Touch Sensor Buttons are two features aimed to enable quick application activation. Tune image colour, brightness and contrast, adjust speaker volume, and select the special SPLENDID modes by using the Touch Sensor Hot Keys and user-friendly OnScreen Display. No need to interrupt current applications to adjust video quality.
ZBD (0 bright dot) policy for LCD panels
The panels of ASUS LCD Monitors are the best in the business. Even if one bright dot is found, users can exchange for a new panel within one year of purchase. This is a demonstration of ASUS confidence in its product quality and dedication to providing unrivalled products.
