Asus PW201 review

 

There's a reason I never bought a combo cell phone/MP3 player. It's the same reason I never bought a TV with a built-in VCR: I didn't want to own a TV in five years that also included a broken or outdated VCR. I don't need my cell phone to play music,...

Excellent overall image quality, from text to photos to video; wide array of video connections, including component; fast 8-millisecond pixel-response rate; stable base.

Webcam comes with bad driver and buggy software; priced higher than competing 20-inch wide-screen LCDs.

The entertainment-oriented Asus PW201 offers superior image quality and an impressive collection of video connections, but it costs more than competing 20-inch wide-screen LCDs and includes a Webcam that suffers from buggy software.

Asus PW201

 

Asus's PW201 is well suited for use at work and play. It provides the usual business amenities and adds several entertainment features--even a built-in Webcam. Moreover, it excels at both text and graphics, showing no real weakness on any of PC World's...

Good performance, smooth adjustments Low price

Limited support hours

All in all, the Asus PW201 is a fine choice for work, play, or both

ASUS LS201 20" LCD Monitor

 

Earlier this year we stumbled upon a widely circulated You Tube video (at least in tech circles), in which a man is seen ruthlessly abusing a poor LCD monitor. The protagonist starts by letting a child draw on the screen with a black permanent marker....

Good Response Time ; Solidly Built ; Wall-mountable Stand ; Splendid Video Presets ; Crossbow-proof

Heavy, Wobbly Screen ; Glare and Reflection Issues

The ASUS LS201 is certainly a peculiar product. It uses a standard aspect ratio, which is a rarity these days. It features a neat, if not odd, non-detachable stand with built-in LED ambient lighting that can be wall and VESA mounted. The screen is...

ASUS PW201 20-Inch LCD Monitor Review and Prices

 

The ASUS PW201 is a 20-inch widescreen LCD display that offers a bundle of attractive features, including speakers and a built-in high-resolution webcam. If you are looking to replace your factory monitor and also want to add these peripherals, the...

Excellent image quality, multiple adjustment and input options, includes a built-in webcam and speakers

Expensive if you don't need the extras, screen is particularly subject to glare in an office setting, USB location is easy to reach but causes unattractive cable clutter

ASUS PW201 20" LCD

 

If you are in the market for a modestly sized widescreen computer monitor, then ASUS has you covered. It's hard to denote the PW201 as a "computer" monitor though, as it's fully capable of handling your game consoles and cable TV. The functionality...

Superb image quality ; Great monitor styling ; Splendid color modes well done ; Supports many input devices ; 3 USB ports + Webcam

Parts of the design is clunky ; Monitor is pricy compared to competition, but does include additional features ; High-definition input wasn't very "high-definition

To get the full benefit of the monitor, you will have a slew of cables to plug in. First, I connected the DVI-D cable, and then the power. That gives just the PC screen up to this point. I then connected the Firewire from the Monitor to the USB on the...

The biggest selling point of ASUS LS201 20in LCD monitor is its glass panel. It protects the screen beneath it with a scratch-proof layer that can sup...

ASUS' PW201 is a great looking widescreen monitor. Its image quality is excellent, with only minor noise aberrations detracting from the otherwise cri...

Great image quality, Portrait view, Stylish design

Some minor noise problems, Webcam buggy, Speakers make it a little large

The ASUS PW201 is a great entertainment display for both video games and movies, although the webcam is buggy.

Asus PW201 review

 

Glossy but ghastly

Great styling ; Good build quality ; Loads of features

Shocking LCD panel

While it's packed full of juicy features, the colour and picture quality is appalling
