    I tried searching the forums for news about this display, however, I didn't find too much info about it.

    To those in the know, what sort of specs can we expect? Anyone had a chance to play with one yet?

    Thanks,
    Jw

    All you need to know is there :D

    And here for those who don't like links :D

    Asus PW201 20" 1680 x1050
    Pixel size 0.258 Connections VGA / DVI
    Brightness 300 Speakers 2x 2W
    Contrast 800:1 USB Hub 1/3
    Viewing angle 176° / 176° Pivot / Swivel Yes / Yes
    Response time 8 ms W x H X D (mm) 560 x 496 x 280

    I don't think anyone has one yet. PRoPortable would let us know ASAP once he gets a demo model on how good the screen is.


    Thanks,

    Screen is good and for the size, for a desktop monitor, WSXGA+ is perfect for it. I used a day last week and then I had to go out of town. I might be able to give you guys a little more feedback when I get back or maybe when the production models come in early June (about 3 weeks)... but any other source who reviews these things is better for me anyway... I use demos to see if we want to sell them.... not to review them for people. I think that should be left to indepentant review sites.

    http://www.citysoftware.com.au/Browse/5b535c99b73b449aaf60358786629db0001ItemDetail.aspx

    Conclusions:
    Dseign = Excellent
    Colours = ?? spose to be better than before
    Performance = ?? should be better because ASUS should have realized the problems with the PW191
    Overall = Unknown

    Price is:
    850 Australia Dollars
    650 USD
    725 CAD

    These prices were converted from the AU site, prices MAY be lower in US and Canada because things are just cheaper here anyways lol.

    Price is subject to change by 50-100$ in all 3 locations.

    Thanks,
