Fremont, CA (April 15, 2011) - ASUS is excited to introduce a comprehensive 3-year warranty and Zero Bright Dot policy* along with a Rapid Replacement plan for its award winning PA246Q ProArt Series monitor. The PA246Q is a 24-inch LCD monitor with a native resolution of 1920x1200 (16:10 aspect ratio) that features a P-IPS panel with wide color gamut, reproducing 98% of the Adobe RGB color space, and a 178° wide viewing angle. The PA246Q also comes with the ASUS-exclusive QuickFit Virtual Scale and a highly adjustable stand to enhance users’ productivity. DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI-D and D-sub inputs are included for easy connection to multiple devices.

Color precision of the highest level
The P-IPS equipped PA246Q reproduces 98% of the Adobe RGB color space, allowing it to accurately display almost the entire color spectrum of a photograph taken with a DSLR camera. The monitor also comes with a sRGB mode so that images meant for display on web pages will be shown as intended. The PA246Q is capable of displaying 1.07 billion colors and calibrated to a maximum ΔE (Delta E) of less than 5, guaranteeing industry-leading color accuracy.

QuickFit Virtual Scale – One-click away for realistic scale measuring
The ASUS exclusive QuickFit Virtual Scale provides real size document, photo and grid formats on top of open windows. It enables a real-sized preview of finished artwork with a simple press of a hotkey.
Overlay formats:

Users can use it as a guide to quickly and accurately preview images and photo in real size on the screen without actually printing it; achieve high efficiency while saving the planet by using less paper.
