ASUS recently announced it Designo MS monitor series with an ultra-slim 0.65 inch profile with other features that make them look more like a piece of art than a standard desktop LCD monitor. The first thing you notice is the contrast between the glossy piano black front bezel and the gleaming pearl white rear of the panel. The monitors don't make use of a typical stand, instead ASUS has designed an ergonomic cylindrical ring that allows you to adjust the monitor’s tilt angle with just one finger.
The monitors are not all about form at the expense of function however as they feature full HD 1080p, 50,000:1 high contrast ratio and 2ms (gray-to-gray) quick response time (except on the MS202N/D model which has a 5ms response time). There are five models in the series ranging from 20" - 23.6" in wide screen format; four of which use an aspect ratio of 16:9 (the 22" monitor uses 16:10 at 1680 x 1050). Adjustments are made using the panels' front LED sensor buttons and the monitors also offer eco-friendly features such as 50% less hazardous materials and up to 40% less power consumption.
You can check out the detailed specifications on the Designo MS product page. ASUS hasn't released any information on availability or pricing yet.
