Aside from the terrible sensor quality, the video is extremely choppy even at 320x240. Don't expect much from the webcams in these new models either.

Also, watchout for the OSD buttons... they're an array of unlit buttons with very faint labels above each. It's a pain using them since you have to slide your finger across them to know which button you're about to press. That is, unless you're in a fairly bright room.]]>Oct 20th 2008 8:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/Oct 20th 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/]]>Oct 20th 2008 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/Oct 20th 2008 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/

Assuming this story comes to Engadget off the wire or direct, perhaps the editors could demand this simple information from the manufacturer on our behalf. That would be a useful service.]]>Oct 20th 2008 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/Oct 20th 2008 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/Oct 20th 2008 4:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/

Please post the panel type (e.g. TN or PVA) and color gamut. They are the two most important specs!

If the manufacturer doesn't release that info, it's a good indication that they are trying to hide unflattering specs. For example, Dell divulges that the 2408WFP is PVA and 110% color gamut, but doesn't mention either for their inferior S2409W. Regardless, an educated consumer can be figured out from the specs. PVA panels can be identified because they have wider viewing angles (for example, Apple's 24" display has a 178 degree viewing angle, so it's almost definitely a superior PVA panel even though they don't say). Obviously we can determine that the Asus monitor is sub-par by clicking the read link, but it would save us the trouble if you added to the story something like: "Based on the viewing angle, it looks like another mediocre TN panel".]]>Oct 20th 2008 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/
There is a reason companies like NEC and Eizo exist - professionals go to them for professional solutions, and everybody else is playing in the consumer space waving stupid overblown specs that mean nothing. Blunt, but true.]]>Oct 20th 2008 8:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/ 178 degree viewing angle, so it's almost definitely a superior PVA panel

Not definitely - TN panels also have 178 degree viewing angle, but the trick is to measure it for contrast ratio 5:1. Usually, viewing angle is measured for contrast 10:1, where TN panels have 160~170 degrees, higher values indicate *VA/*IPS technologies.]]>Oct 21st 2008 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/asus-outdoes-itself-with-new-24-25-5-inch-displays/
No, we ask why bother with that small a size differential at all. 24" vs. 25.5"? BFD.

~$450 retail on the 24 incher, and no hits for the 26 incher.

maybe b/c they are close to Taiwan than we are....?]]>Oct 20th 2008 7:55PM
