LS201 LCD Monitor
The LS201 20" LCD monitor caters to the needs of trendy 3C users with an exterior
piano-painted black chassis, fine hair-lined aluminum details, a unique base that
exudes a LED light and a diamond-cut glass surface of 9H hardness for protection
from damages or pollution. It also incorporates wide viewing angles, ASCR (ASUS
Smart Contrast Ratio) 2000:1 and ASUS exclusive SplendidT Video Intelligence
Technology.

Beautiful Aesthetics
The LS201 incorporates a half-thinner panel than generic LCD monitors to display an
aesthetically slim style - complementing the simple and clean-lined glossy black
design. The unique "Light-in-Motion" LED lights on the base creates a soothing
effect and distinct feel to the atmosphere while in operation - allowing the LS201
to stand out as a symbol of style and elegance on the desk.

9H Hardness Surface for Panel Protection
The LS201 specially adopts a protective surface with the characteristics of 9H high
hardness, which lets the panel be protected against scratches and pollution. The
anti-reflection coating on the glass allows superb light transmittance (over 96%,
which is 11% higher than generic glass) and anti-reflection capabilities (below 2%
reflections) to deliver clear images without distortions.

Quality Functionality to Provide a Visual Feast
The LS201 incorporates 1400x1050 SXGA+ high resolution, 5ms response time and dual
video inputs (DVI-D and D-sub) together to deliver clear and smooth image quality.
The innovative ASCR (ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio Technology) provides the high
contrast ratio of 2000:1 - creating sharper and more stereoscopic images especially
during video and movies.

SplendidT Video Intelligence Technology
Splendid Video Intelligence Technology, found exclusively in ASUS solutions, detects
activation and usage of video applications and automatically optimizes image quality
for the best visual results. Five modes of operation (Standard, Game, Theater,
Scenery and Night) and three skin tone options provide high-quality image in

sizes, these two widescreen notebooks incorporate fine gaming details to elevate
the overall gaming experience.

Suit of Armor
The LCD cover incorporates a special in-mold decoration design that not only gives
the notebook an instant game machine identity but also makes the surface more
resistant against scratches and paint chipping.

Graphic Intensity Indicator
Direct Flash sidelights enhance gaming spirit when DirectX support is activated for
graphic intense moments.

Wireless Video Communication
