The new model showcases an exterior piano-painted black chassis, fine hair-lined aluminum details, a unique base that exudes a LED light and a diamond-cut glass surface of 9H hardness for protection from damages or pollution.

It also incorporates wide viewing angles, ASCR (ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio) 2000:1 and ASUS exclusive Splendid Video Intelligence Technology.

The LS201 incorporates a half-thinner panel than generic LCD monitors, has 1400x1050 SXGA+ resolution, 5ms response time and dual video inputs (DVI-D and D-sub) together. The anti-reflection coating on the glass allows superb light transmittance (over 96%, which is 11% higher than generic glass) and anti-reflection capabilities (below 2% reflections) to deliver clear images without distortions.

By a simple press of the side button, the LS201 can further show space aesthetics in different angles by being adjusted to apply VESA wall-mounted functions with the adapter. The unique "Light-in-Motion" LED lights on the base creates a soothing effect and distinct feel to the atmosphere while in operation.

This montor got 2007 RedDot product design award in terms of innovation, functionality and product quality.
