ASUS intros the MK241H display with built-in webcam

You know that the cats at ASUS can't go too long without dropping some shiny new piece of gadgetry on us, and that's exactly what they're doing this morning. If you've been in the market for a decently-sized display as of late, you might want to turn your attention to the MK241H, a 24-inch LCD monitor which features 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) resolution, a 3000:1 contrast ratio, HDMI, D-SUB, and DVD-D (HDSC) inputs, and tops it all off with a built-in 1.3-megapixel webcam. The company is also making a 22-inch version of the screen, the MK221H/S, which packs in a 1680 x 1050 resolution, and a contrast ratio of 5000:1. No word on when these will be available, though we suspect the wait won't be too long.

That's one good looking monitor but it's funny how there's no mention of the response time...

If it's more than 4ms, I ain't going nearing -- I don't care what some people say about how you can't tell the difference between 4ms and say 6ms but my current screen is 4ms so I ain't going backwards in response. :p

[E71 @ Feb 21st 2008 5:23PM]

Ooh. Took a look at the ASUS press release.

It's got 2ms response people! Woo hoo!

wow, this is real innovation.

someday they might even put the computer... on the back of the screen too!

[oZone @ Feb 21st 2008 9:37AM]

Better yet, put this on a lid and hinge it with another slab where the computer is. Then maybe add an integrated keyboard and a HID that acts like a mouse but is something more like a touch-sensitive area on below the keyboard and you use your fingers to move the cursor.

FUCK, I should patent this device. :bowdown:

I believe you missed the iMac reference.
Which I wish wasn't made in the first place.

[Cameron Uhlig @ Feb 21st 2008 9:33AM]

That's built in? WTF?

[Meridimus @ Feb 21st 2008 9:59AM]

Yeah, more like built-on

[Ty @ Feb 21st 2008 9:53AM]

So funny.

Looks like a 5 year old kid has stuck it on.

A great example of the design standards windoze PC sufferers are used to.

As a Mac user I feel physically sick looking at these hideous objects.

There are alternatives to Apple computers and displays, that have built in web cams that aren't tacked on.
Ever heard of Dell? http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9786256-7.html?tag=head

DVD-D?? Did DVI-D get a name change?

[bert @ Feb 21st 2008 10:27AM]

Ive got previous model, great screen, shame about the stand!

[Magallanes @ Feb 21st 2008 12:04PM]

We are just a step ahead of "Nineteen Eighty-Four".

[phanbouy @ Feb 21st 2008 1:31PM]

this monitor is Double Plus Good

[Harbo @ Feb 21st 2008 1:45PM]

[Mike @ Feb 21st 2008 2:23PM]

I can glue my web cam to the top of my 24 inch dell too.

i already has it on me desk :D ...looks nice for a TN...not a plus for the fixed stand...Aspect Control is going to appeal to lots of people (full, 4:3, 1:1)
