?Gaming in the 21 st is more than just entertainment. It's an attitude.

The PG191 is exactly this type of gaming solution. Rife with unique industrial designs, the black and silver PG191 comes with a sleek aluminum alloy neck, diamond-cut base and black-glared front frame, making it a stylish piece of d?cor for any environments. For gamers, the display contour is based on stealth bombers, and the subwoofer box at the back takes on the shape of a tank cannon. Playing military theme games on the PG191 is just that much better,? said the company.

The high-end PG191 display sports 2.1-channel speakers (10W satellite speakers and 15W ASUS Power Bass System) to deliver an enhanced audio experience during a gaming experience for example. But the performance of Asus sound is completed by the embedded SRS Lab's Flagship TruSurround XT virtual surround sound technology, the display supporting therefore Dolby audio and the latest game titles' 5.1- and 6.1 - channel sound standards. Moreover, LifeFrame technology further lets users take snapshots and record video with fun and ease.
