ASUS recently introduced two new models to its PM17 LCD monitor series, the PM17TU and PM17TE. These two new monitors are powered by Asus’ response time acceleration and image enhancement technologies. The first is ASUS Trace Free Technology. It increases the response time of PM17TU up to 3ms. The technology itself implemented the anti-double-edge overdriving method with noise reduction circuits to reduce response time in all gray-to-gray levels.

The second technology uses in ASUS new monitors is Splendid technology which evaluates each pixel in every frame and adjusts them in smaller regions without affecting the whole picture. Colors, brightness, contrast and sharpness in each region are dynamically optimized according to conditions most favorable to the human eye.

The last technology used by ASUS PM17TU and ASUS PM17TE is Color Shine. It’s a glare-type panel technology that provides visual quality with enhanced color density by utilizing multiple coating color film. According to ASUS, the Crystal Shine technology further improves panel brightness to 500nits.

The LCD monitors come with two built-in 2.5 W stereo speakers and support for both DVI and D-SUB output signal.
