"Hardcore Gamers' Dream Monitor" – that is how Asus advertises their newest 2 ms fast top model PG221, that also has a vertical adjustment as the PG221U. The 22 inch is made up of not only its black lacquered frame and glossy display, but also mostly of its extensive features.

Thus, this time Prad did not only examine carefully the picture and processing qualities but also the qualities of the integrated sound system with two five Watt boxes and 15 Watt subwoofer, as well examined the 1.3 Megapixel webcam.



The Asus PG221 is a showpiece device. Not only the striking exterior ensure that, but also mostly the numerous gimmicks that the proud owner uses to steer views to the monitor: Beginning with the red light on the touch panel over the colorful DeskLight up to the off and on melodies – one can only take the eyes off of this monitor with trouble.

Inside the 22 inch, however, is a long-known technology around in the form of a TN panel, that due to the dynamic contrast increase should reach values of 2,000:1 and with Overdrive a switching time of 2 ms should be reached.


However, with its additional video slots the 22 inch is not limited to just gamers and also offers for film fans the necessary potential. Whether the Asus PG221 with that still meets the demands of hardcore gamers is clarified in the detailed Prad review.
