ASUS har nyligen uppdaterat sin LCD-monitor familj med fyra nya modeller. De nya monitorerna är alla av bredbildsformat och har en standardupplösning på 1920×1200 pixlar. ASUS har släppt två modeller med 24-tums bildpanel och två ytterligare modeller med en något större 25.2-tums panel. Det enda som skiljer modellerna med samma bildpanel är att den ena modellen, VKxxH, kommer med integrerad webbkamera till skillnad mot den andra, VWxxH. De nya monitorerna har en responstid på fina 2ms samt ett imponerande kontrastförhållande på hela 20 000:1. Vi väntar fortfarande på uppgifter om priser och tillgänlighet.
