ASUS Designo MS gets handled, gushed over

ASUS' stylish Designo MS monitors might not be quite on the same diet as the world's thinnest LCDs, but they're plenty svelte enough to collect glances of envious admiration. Suffering from a rather severe case of techno-lust, the Electric Pig crew got to handle a 23.6-inch sample and couldn't stop talking about the sex appeal of the exterior -- they were even big fans of the circular stand on the back of the display, which we suspect will have as many supporters as detractors. In spite of packing a full 1920 x 1080 resolution, the MS246 failed to impress with the quality of its output, but then if it was as gorgeous on the inside it'd have an Apple sticker on the front. Right? We kid, honestly. Calm down with a gallery of images at the read link.

"We Kid"

But we don't

Yes, agreed.

That was a comment designed to initiate a flamewar.

It's no wonder that the writers of Engadget have been banned from all local supermarkets. They all get erections at just the sight of a golden delicious.

I wish I was smart enough to make that comment.

What is that mean man going to do with that large hammer?

Please hammer, don't hurt em!

That's quite the naming strategy-

"What do we call this thing?"

"I know, ASUS Design MS!"

"Nah, we might get sued over that one, let's go exotic! Stick an o on the end, they'll never see it then!"

Gregorian (Oct 21st 2009 2:53AM) - Neutral

Coolio, let's call it the Designo, boyo.

24" display with only 1080 vertical pixels? No thanks. A monitor that size should be 1200 pixels vertical.

only if the aspect ratio were 16:10, which it isnt

CJ (Oct 21st 2009 1:44AM) - Neutral

Yes, this is what we buisness people call "16:9 full HD".

And by "buisness", I mean of course "intelligent"

NikAmi (Oct 21st 2009 1:49AM) - Neutral

It's ironic how someone who refers to himself as intelligent would misspell the word "business" not once, but twice. Oh, and learn to use commas properly. The syntax of your post is all wrong.

Since we're not allowed to give Engadget a break:

Oh, there they go again, shamelessly promoting the new imac in a completely nonrelated article.

Uhmm, that backlight bleed is nasty...

Is it really full HD?

Can it take the high-def images from my newly bought external Blu-Ray drive?

(Yes, I love my new DIGISTOR external Blu-Ray burner, that's why I flash the link.)

It looks KINDA nice, but something throws me off about it, really. Maybe because, it don't have Apple stamped on it. Haha.
