ASUS PA246Q - 24" IPS 1,920 x 1,200

[Westyfield2]

'afternoon guys,

I saw this post on Engadget today...

This here monitor surfaced months ago, but it looks as if ASUS has just now started to ship it stateside. As far as 24-inch monitors go, this one's fairly well specced, and it's got a mighty tempting price tag to boot. The PA246Q is a 24.1-inch P-IPS LCD, complete with a six millisecond response time, tilt / swivel stand, a pair of USB sockets, an integrated 7-in-1 card reader, 400 nits of brightness and a 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. It's also capable of covering 98 percent of the Adobe RGB spectrum, so all but the most particular of creative professionals should be duly satisfied with color reproduction. You'll also get a native 1,920 x 1,200 screen resolution, 178 degree viewing angles, DVI / HDMI / DisplayPort / VGA inputs and support for a VESA wall mount. She's all yours for $499.99 -- hit the source link if you just can't resist.

Anyone here seen any reviews of it or seen them for sale over here? $500 should come in a bit cheaper than the Dell U2410 at £469.99....

Just been comparing this with the Dell U2410 on paper....

Dell U2410

• 24" 1920 x 1200
• H-IPS panel
• DVI x2 , D-sub, HDMI, DisplayPort, component, composite
• $450 / £470

ASUS PA246Q

• 24" 1920 x 1200
• P-IPS panel
• DVI, D-sub, HDMI, DisplayPort
• $500 / £???

Hmm... Wonder what ASUS' policy on dead pixels and tinting is like compared with Dell's...

yep, the panels are actually 24.1" diagonally, but they've always been referred to as 24" models

You heard anything of the ASUS PA246Q or getting one in to test?
Looks like a good competitor for the Dell U2410. Unless Dell are about to replace the U2410 with something new and shiny.... <cough LED backlit cough>

I purchased my U2410, one month ago, on sale at $350 CDN.

Words cannot convey how much I hate you . That's a good £220 cheaper than we pay over here!

Our gas is now $1.10 per liter.

Oh noes!!1111oneoneeleven.






I jest . Been to BC and Dad's got mates there. Lovely place, I plan to move to Vancouver after Uni . It's just the headline of C$350 that got me! Unless it's because the U2410 is going EOL and being replaced soon...
