Asus MK241H 24'' Widescreen LCD Monitor Review

Topic:

Hothardware published a Asus MK241H 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor review.

Quote from the review: "LCD monitors were supposed to free up our precious desk real estate as they relegated bulky CRTs to the local landfill. But with the quantity and quality of high-definition content increasing and LCD prices continuing to drop, widescreen LCDs are becoming increasingly prevalent. Now our desks are filling up again--only this time in width, instead of depth. Still, for many, this is a small price to pay for the relatively large screen area and wide aspect ratio that these widescreen monitors offer. Read more

Realtek and Asus Teamup for Wireless USB Monitors

Topic:

Realtek and Asus have announced that they have teamed up to collaborate on a new industry-first wireless display using wireless USB technology. The new displays would eliminate the need for cables to connect the LCD to the computer.

Samsung SyncMaster 245BW Widescreen LCD Monitor Tested

Topic:

Benchmark Reviews published a review of the Samsung SyncMaster 245BW Widescreen LCD Monitor.

Quote from the review: "We have spent a lot of time at Benchmark Reviews talking about video cards recently - and with good reason. The discrete graphics segment of the market is currently afire with many outstanding price-to-performance options. When we looked at the offerings from the two biggest players, the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX and ATI/AMD HD 3870, we saw that game performance even when scaled to high resolution was simply outstanding. This begs the question; why with such low-cost entrance into owning cards capable of "high-rez" gaming, most users are still running a display of 19" or less?Monitors are arguably the most important component for users, getting more usage than any other component of a PC.

Honeywell ARIUS 22'' LCD Monitor Review

Topic:

AseLabs published a review of the Honeywell ARIUS 22" LCD Monitor.

Quote from the review: "The HWLM2216 is a 22" LCD monitor that uses standard cathode type backlighting. I'm sure we will see an update sooner or later that will include LED lighting instead, but a regular cathode is tried and true technology. They last long enough that you will be buying a new monitor rather than replacing a backlight. Since it is a 22", the resolution is 1680x1050 which is the standard 16x10 resolution found on computer monitors. Read more
