ASUS LS221H: "world's slimmest" 22-inch LCD monitor
Just a day after we were graced with Mother Earth's "most energy-efficient monitor" comes the "world's slimmest" 22-incher. ASUS claims that its LS221H is just 248-millimeters (that's 9.76-inches) at its thinnest point, but unless this thing morphs into a CRT at a moment's notice, we're assuming (read: hoping) it meant 24.8-millimeters, or 0.97-inches. Beyond that, we're trusting that the 1,680 x 1,050 resolution, 2-millisecond response time, 300 nits of brightness, VGA / HDMI inputs and 4,000:1 contrast ratio are all there, but you can never be too careful when talking about the planet's thickest / thinnest LCD. No price is listed, but if we were betting souls, we'd wager that it'll be right around $3,500. Wait, we mean $350. Yeah.

What a completely eerie photo...
I'd be so stoked to be locked inside a TV. She just feels the same way.
I kind of overlooked the engagement ring part. What a douchey way to propose.
If this is supposed to be a 22" monitor, then clearly this guy is very tiny.
@ brad
maybe hes down on one knee
$20 says she's watching 2girls1cup in another window
wow Tim.... wow
wow at two Highest Ranked...they must have readjusted the thresholds? granted, great comments deserving of the Highest rank in this new system.
They have to have a relationship over the internet.
How else would he hide that he's a 4 foot tall preteen lesbian (I assume everything in the room is to 2/3 scale), and she would have to stop covering her beard at some point.
That guy is totally creepy-looking! He's as creepy-looking as I am good-looking!
Yeah, that one's gonna last.
Is that a webcam? oooooh suits you sir
Honestly aside from like someone in the military on assignment halfway around the world, who would propose over video-conferencing/webcam? This is like worse than asking someone to go out with you online.
Looks like a feminine Tom Cruise.
My thoughts exactly
...or just Tom Cruise.
Good to know I was not the only one that made that connection. It would have probaly been a bit to much to have the guy/girl/it jump on a couch and hold the box up at the same time.
Milo Ventimiglia + Tom Cruise = Scientologist version of Xmen's Leech.
Feminine Tom Cruise, LOL! Oh snap!
That was funny. I was thinkin' Tom Cruise, as well, but the feminine thing had me laughing.
The whole concept behind that photo is just messed. Who comes up with these ideas?
Why is Tom Cruise proposing to a virtual woman?
Totally thought the same thing until I realized that he has trouble w/ the real ones (you know, they're filled with thetans).
That's Xenu
Aw, a lesbian couple, how sweet.
What do you mean that's a guy?
Guy 1: Aw, the one on the right? I would totally hit it.
Guy 2: ...
Guy 1: What? What??!
Guy 2: ...
Guy 1: Wait...What do you mean that's a guy?
this made my day
That 22 inch monitor, in the picture, looks closer to a 36-42 inch screen. Or that guy is just a midget.
Maybe that's why he's proposing online.
Yeah, i'm guessing the marketing department just photoshopped a bunch of stock photos together, and the scale is all wrong.
Asus fails.

Or maybe they made another rounding-up mistake, and they actually meant 0.22 inches, in which case this guy would be a giant.
nice "O" face
"Oh! Oh! Oh!... you know what I'm talkin' about, right? Oh!"
if that's a 22" screen then that guy is 4' tall. unless they're measuring vertically there's no way that is a 22" monitor. i know companies don't always use the actual products in ads, but come on. that thing is at least 30"
quote " 248-millimeters (that's 9.76-inches) , we're assuming (read: hoping) it meant 24.8-millimeters, or 0.97-inches."
WAY TO NOT ROUND UP
Hahaha, excellent.
-Taylor
Thats the smell of BLIIIIING, ole' TOM CRUISE LOOKIN BOY!
Tom Cruise and Mandy Moore are getting married?
heeeeey
so the monitor is thin - big deal. the stand is huge and ugly and takes up like 8 inches of table. that means the screen being thin isnt worth shit.
good work asus.
the 248 millimeters is sarcastic.
Lol asus.
What's up with these large monitors and their shitty ass resolution????????????
It drives me fuckin nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DON'T BUY THESE CRAPPY ASS MONITORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Am I crazy or should these things have much higher resoluiton?
You're crazy.
1650x1050 is standard for a 22" LCD.
Also as far as 22" monitors go, ASUS ( and ACER too ) have produced some of the best technically sound LCD's out there. The score consistently high on LCD benchmarks, are good value for money, and have high customer satisfaction
It's very likely this will be a good monitor.
hey william hung, 1650x1050 is a very interesting standard for a widescreen lcd dont you think? lawl
and yes, todd is very right. Lcds this size should have at least double that resolution. Heck, my 15" laptop has 1680x1050
you can't put something like this on your lap can you? so unless you want to sit 50cm away from your desktop monitor, forget it.
Maybe it's a case of objectaphelia and he is actually proposing to the TV.
And if thats 22 inches then I suddenly feel extremely inadequate..
prove it
Wait until she finds out that he is gay.
You're getting high ranked for your avatar.
Multipass.
I'd give her 22-inches if you know what I mean, and I think that you do!
Yeah, I too would give her a 22" monitor as a wedding gift. Really need that higher resolution for going through the wedding photos.
