Asus has released a monitor that is able to display video signals without using your computer’s D-sub or DVI port. The new VW223B uses an EzLink (Display Link) technology that uses the existing USB interface in order to spread the vision and screen space of multiple monitors.

Installation of the EzLink driver is only required once for expansion. Content can then be automatically moved back to the main screen or notebook display when the USB cable is disconnected. Monitors also return to previous configurations after reconnections, lowering the complexity of adding more monitors.
According to Asus, the VW223B is ideal for users who require a large amount of screen and desktop space. Additionally, with its slim and glossy frame, the VW223B can be used effectively as display devices in commercial and retail business.
The VW223B is also embedded with a 3 port USB hub which allows convenient connections to EzLink displays, as well as other USB devices. Furthermore, the VW223B includes Asus Smart Contract Ratio (ASCR) technology which automatically adjusts the luminance of the backlight and improves the contrast ratio to 3000:1. Asus has also included an Aspect Control feature that enables a user to select a preferred display mode between full and 4:3 modes without distorting the display image.
A Splendid Video Intelligence technology delivers optimised video performance with intelligent colour, brightness, contract and sharpness corrections, as well as five video preset modes and three skin tone selections.
The VW223B is a simple and cost-effective multi-viewing solution – little or no training is required and each monitor can be rolled out by entry-level staff, resulting in increased work efficiency, lower deployment costs and reduced overheads.
The VW223B will be available in Australia in July 2008 with a recommended retail price of $429.
