MS246, 23 MS236, 22 and 21.5 MS226 whilst the 20 MS202 offers

Asus have unveiled a new range of ultra slim LCD monitors known as the
Asus Designo MS Series which consists of five models taking in a swathe
of screen sizes – specifically the Designo 23.6 MS246, 23 MS236,
22 MS227, 21.5 MS226 20 MS202 – and which, thanks to their
particularly swanky aesthetics, are sure to turn more than a few heads
when they eventually hit retail.
Billed as set to 'astound users with a perfect combination of
exceptional style and picture quality' (Asus have never been ones that
are backwards in coming forwards in terms of press release gambits) the
new Designo MS LCD Monitor Range, which are purportedly 'inspired by the
binary state' – which translates to them featuring contrasting
stylistic elements (like the numbers 1 and 2 Asus remind us, just in
case we've forgotten exactly what binary's all about) – come in at
a decidedly sleek 16.5mm thickness whilst positively packing in the
features.
Offering Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution in the case of the MS246, 23
MS236, 22 and 21.5 MS226 whilst the 20 MS202 offers 1600 x 900 with
the 22 MS227 (interestingly, considering its screen size) coming in at
1680 x 1050 (why this 22 model comes sans Full HD capabilities eludes
us) all of the Designo MS screens additionally sport 16:9 aspect ratio
displays offering a total of 16.7 million colors, contrast ratios of
50000:1 and brightness levels of 250cd/m2 whilst are, it must be said,
pretty reasonable if not outstandingly impressive.

further highlights across the Designo MS range additionally include a
response time of a mere 2ms (expect in the case of the MS202 which comes
in at 5ms) thus making them ideal for gaming whilst you can also factor
in HDMI connectivity on all but the MS227 and the MS202 with D-Sub and
featuring on all models (notably only the MS202 is listed as carrying a
DVI-D port).

Add into the equation that all the newly announced Asus Designo MS LCD
Series of monitors are manufactured using 50% less hazardous materials
(than what exactly Asus don't specify) as well as 40% reduced power
consumption (again Asus don't inform us what the comparison is made
against) as well as the aforementioned designer looks and not too shabby
specs and we don't doubt that these are set to fly off the shelves like
the proverbial hot cakes when the ship.

There is, however, no word from Asus at this juncture concerning any
specific (or even wholly unspecific) release timeframes or, for that
matter, even the vaguest hint at unit pricing.
