ASUS launches new MX279H and MX239H AH-IPS displays


Nov 16, 2012 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- ASUS, a computer hardware and electronics company, has launched the MX279H and MX239H displays. These 27 inch and 23 inch displays feature a frameless design with a 178 degree wide-view angle Advanced-High Performance In-Plane Switching, or AH-IPS, panel that provides visuals while Bang & Olufsen ICEpower-derived dual 3W stereo speakers along with ASUS SonicMaster technology provide a soundtrack to match.



The ASUS Designo MX Series displays sport ultra-slim profiles - with the MX239H measuring 14.5mm at its thinnest point; while the larger MX279H comes in at 17.5mm - thereby minimizing the desk space required. In addition, the MX Series' edge-to-edge, frameless design has a bezel thickness of only 0.8mm. This elegant design is further accentuated by a sundial-inspired stand which provides a sturdy base to rest on.

The Designo MX Series displays feature an LED-backlit AH-IPS panel with a 178 degree wide-view angle that minimizes color shift on both horizontal and vertical planes to ensure quality visuals from almost any viewing position. AH-IPS is the latest in IPS technology - delivering improved color accuracy along with increased energy efficiency. In addition, a 5ms response time also eliminates ghosting and tracers for more fluid visuals.


With the ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio (ASCR) of 80,000,000:1 and 250 cd/ square metre of brightness, the MX279H delivers life-like visuals by adjusting backlight luminance to achieve the darkest black and the brightest white shades. ASUS Splendid Video Intelligence Technology ensures vivid colors in every situation, with six modes (standard/ sRGB/ scenery/ theater/ game/ night) activated via a designated sensor touch hotkey.

These Designo MX Series displays feature ASUS SonicMaster technology - which was co-developed by the ASUS Golden Ear team and Bang & Olufsen ICEpower. This ASUS-exclusive audio technology combines advanced hardware and software to refine every acoustic detail in pristine quality to deliver crystal clear, true-to-life surround sound -reproducing richer and more distinct vocals at a wider frequency range and louder volumes.

The Designo MX's embedded ICEpower MobileSound 3 chip delivers incredible audio fidelity to ensure quality audio. ASUS SonicMaster technology, together with the built-in dual 3W stereo speakers, gives these displays the capacity to deliver an immersive home theater audio experience. The Designo MX Series supports Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolutions and has dual HDMI and D-sub (VGA) input ports to ensure compatibility with a variety of multimedia devices including Blu-ray disc players, game consoles, and digital cameras to enrich users' entertainment experience.
