New SyncMaster 225UW widescreen LCD monitor takes advantage of Microsoft unified communications solutions to streamline communication functions into a single platform.

With Microsoft Office Communicator 2007, users can communicate with colleagues around the world without needing to pick up a phone, put on a headset or lean into a microphone - the experience is just as natural as if the other party were sitting across your desk. The monitor is an ideal choice for true-to-life web conferencing, which can reduce long-distance phone costs and the need for frequent business travel.

The communications experience is high quality, as the monitor is equipped with a built-in 2.0M pixel high-resolution webcam, dual-array microphone and speakers. The monitor fully supports the wideband audio codecs, covering the full natural voice spectrum, resulting in exceptionally clear voice conversations. Furthermore, Office Communications Server 2007 enables users to conduct voice conversations with high clarity.

With a high resolution of 1680 x 1050, coupled with a wide 16:10 aspect ratio, 5 ms GTG response time, a 700:1 contrast ratio and 300cd/m2 brightness, the model is equipped to produce crisp, true-to-life images, while the wide 160/160 viewing angle further enhances the overall viewing experience. The monitor also incorporates a 2 port USB hub and dual inputs (DVI-D & Analog).
