We have taken a look at a lot of LCD monitors here at ThinkComputers. While most of them are adequate for all scenarios, none of them have been dubbed as gaming monitors. Well the ASUS PG221 is dubbed as a gaming monitor and we can see why just by looking at the specs, a 2000:1 contrasts ratio, 2ms response time, and all the connections you want on a LCD. Not only does it have these features it also has a 15W bass speaker, built-in webcam, touch-sensitive controls, and a cool lighting effect. It seems the PG221 has everything any gamer or consumer alike would want. Let's see if we can find anything wrong with it.

Smaller displays don't need to lack features, and ASUS proves this with their PG221 22-inch wide-screen. It boasts such specs as 2ms GTG, 2000:1 and stellar design. Where its unique though, is with it's large subwoofer. Yes, we said subwoofer! Do the features make up for it's higher price?

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. Head on over to the site and check it out...

There are, of course, features that the PG221 has and the 215TW doesn't, but it's going to be a question of whether those features are needed by the potential buyer. In a pure battle between the 215TW and the PG221 on the image quality front, the Samsung was notably better than the Asus. But, after a bit of tweaking, the image quality delivered by the PG221 was still pretty good. I guess it's a question of whether you need the extra features that the Asus provides, or whether you're after a great all-round monitor at a fantastic price. I can't help but feel that, because of the 215TW's aggressive pricing, the PG221 (even with its fantastic set of features) just doesn't do enough to justify spending any more than £240 on a 20", 21" or 22" widescreen monitor.
