AsusTek Computer has introduced PW201, the new 20-inch, wide screen LCD monitor in India.

The PW201 monitor features a built-in 1.3-megapixels webcam and an exclusive LifeFrame software bundle to deliver high-resolution video conferencing. It has a rich video input and USB 2.0 support that offers the perfect visual solution for business and entertainment. The monitor’s “Color Shine” glare-type panel and wide view angle delivers crystal clear images for movies and video conferences.

The PW201 provides both vertical and horizontal viewing angles through the pioneering pivot neck design. The monitor has “SPLENDID” video intelligence technology that evaluates each pixel in every frame, and adjusts them in smaller regions without affecting the whole picture.

Colors, brightness, contrast, and sharpness in each region are dynamically optimized according to conditions most favorable to the human eye. It offers five modes (Standard, Scenery, Game, Night View, and Theater) and three skin tones (Natural, Reddish, and Yellowish) to satisfy the specific needs in various graphics functions.

The PW201 monitor offers the OnScreen Display and Touch Sensor Buttons features which make possible the function of quick application activation.

OnScreen Display and Touch Sensor Buttons are two features of this monitor, which are aimed at enabling quick application activation. The monitor is equipped with Touch Sensor Hot Keys and user-friendly OnScreen Display that can be used to tune image color, brightness, and contrast, adjust speaker volume, and select special SPLENDID modes.

According to Leena Ajmera, product manager - LCD business, Asus India, said, “The Asus 20-inch PW201 LCD Monitor comes packed with many features, so as to facilitate usage requirements of business users as well as gamers and movie enthusiasts.”

The PW201 LCD monitor is priced at Rs 38,000 (excluding taxes) and is packed with a 3-year system and panel warranty. The monitor can be availed by placing an order at media_india@asus.com, or one can contact the company directly.
