ASUS today launched the VK266H and VW266H 25.5-inch widescreen (16:10 aspect ratio) LCD monitors which support 1920x1200 high resolution, Full HD 1080p video playback via an HDMI input, a high 20000:1 contrast ratio, 2 ms (gray-to-gray) response time and ASUS' exclusive Splendid Video Intelligence Technology. In keeping with ASUS' recent drive to integrate video conferencing features into its monitors, the ASUS VK266H is also equipped with a rotatable 2.0 megapixel webcam with Smart EV (Exposure Value) Control technology to enable high quality and convenient real-time video communications under different lighting conditions.

In the latter half of October 2008, two 24” widescreen models will join the VK266H and VW266H, namely the VK246H and VW246H—the former of which features an integrated 1.3 megapixel webcam. Both of them features 1920x1080 resolution, 300cd/m2 brightness, 20,000:1 contrast, 2ms response time, and 1.3 mega pixel fixed webcam.

All four monitors are equipped with stereo speakers that are capable of delivering remarkable audio quality for games, movies and music.

The latter half of 2008 will also see the launch of a new series of 16:9 HD/Full HD monitors, completing ASUS' Full HD LCD monitor lineup for 2008.
