Just in case you pointed your browser right to the news and missed the link at the top of the page, we wanted to let you all know that we have just posted a new article at here HotHardware that you may want to check out. In the article we look at (no pun intended) an LCD from Asus, the PG221, that the company has branded a ‘Hardcore Gamer’s Dream Monitor’.

As its name suggests, the PG221 is a 22.1” monitor. It has a widescreen 16:10 aspect ratio, a built-in 1.3MP webcam and speakers – including a subwoofer – and a bevy of input options. The PG221 has a high contrast glare-type panel coating as well, for better saturation and color density. If you look at its individual features, the PG221 seems like a winner. But we dig deeper to see if the PG221’s overall performance equals the sum of its parts. Click the link below and take a look for yourself...

Marco Chiappetta

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
