ASUS PG191: Hardcore gaming LCD

Darius Chang | Oct 04, 2006

Combining its Power Bass System for superior audio quality and 2ms response time for lightning quick games, the new LCD monitor from ASUS has its integrated Webcam sights locked on fanatic gamers.

Though it comes bundled with 2.1-channel speakers, the ASUS Power Bass System and SRS TruSurround XT Technology allow you to add up to 6.1-channel sound so that you can use your eyes and your ears to target that irritating sniper. Not to mention there's that quick 2ms response time so you won't be shooting at "ghost" images because your screen can't catch up with the action.

Rarely seen on LCD displays is an integrated 1.3-megapixel Webcam, bringing a new dimension to your frag fest as you use hand signals to launch a sneak assault. Complete with hotkeys, this is one feature-rich monitor to go with your Razer Copperhead mouse and Logitech G15 gaming keyboard.
