Labels: , , , , ,

Asus has just unveiled two more 3D-capable monitors, the 23-inch VG236 and the 27-inch PG276. These are both a part of their new Designo ML Series and they have similar specifications. Both of these monitors sport a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution, a mercury-free LED panel, a 10,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 2ms response time. OF course, they both utilize Nvidia's 3D Vision technology so you'll need active glasses. Ports include DVI and HDMI.

Along with these 3D monitors, Asus also briefly showed off their 24-inch PA246Q monitor. This sports an IPS panel and is intended for professionals. Asus is going to bring a new LED projector to the show as well, so look out for it. It'll be a small projector and it'll weigh less than a pound.
