ASUS 24-Inch P-IPS Professional Monitor Sells for $500

Often it occurs that a certain company reveals a certain product only to start selling it months later, and it seems that this is exactly what ASUS did with its PA246Q monitor, according to online listings.

ASUS is one of those companies that, instead of specializing in a certain sort of product, deals in a whole variety of them.

Granted, being one of the world's greatest suppliers of PC products worldwide, and having the finances to back it, definitely helps ensure the continued ability to address different fields.

This once, ASUS did not issue a press release to announce some new video card, motherboard, PC or any such thing.

Instead, a certain online listing revealed that a monitor detailed months ago has, at long last, begun to sell.

The display in question is a 24.1-inch professional panel dubbed PA246Q and built with a P-IPS LCD (liquid crystal display) panel.

The main feature likely to grab attention is the ability to cover 98% of the Adobe RGB color spectrum, meaning that designers should find the color richness more than satisfactory.

The resolution is not to be frowned upon either, being of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels, and the viewing angles are just as impressive (178 degrees both horizontally and vertically).

In other words, no matter how and from what direction one looks at the display, no color shift will occur.

Those wishing to know more about it will most likely be intrigued by the brightness of 400 nits and the dynamic contrast ratio of 50,000.

What's more, besides the expected DVI/HDMI/Displayport/VGA connectors, ASUS threw in a pair of USB sockets and even a 7-in-1 card reader, meaning that some files could be edited even without the need for a host PC.

Those seeking to buy the ASUS PA246Q monitor will have to part with the sum of $499.99.
