Beauty beyond boundaries
The ASUS MX Series design was inspired by the concentric style of a sundial a masterpiece of innovation created over a millennia ago. The ASUS design processes follow a similar line of thinking: simple yet innovative; natural yet empowering. The ASUS Design Team found inspiration in the sundial concept; and crafted a stand that symbolizes complete flexibility; professionalism; and meticulous art.
A masterful culmination of advanced technology and artistic design; the Designo Series MX299Q Ultra-wide 21:9 Cinematic monitor represents the current state of the art in PC monitors. A sleek 29-inch AH-IPS display with an ultra-wide 21:9 ratio and 2560 x 1080 resolution; the MX229Q delivers a 33% larger display area compared to a Full HD monitor for the best theater-like home entertainment. What's more; the MX299Q has an edge-to-edge; frameless cinematic display for an ideal multi display setup and stylish design.
Ultra-wide resolution enhances work and play
With a display area equivalent to that of two 17-inch (5:4 aspect ratio) monitors placed alongside each other; the ASUS Designo Series MX299Q Ultra-wide 21:9 Cinematic monitor has a display area 33% wider than a Full HD monitor.
The 21:9 aspect ratio gives you more screen real estate for working with multiple windows side-by-side as you would with a secondary display. The 2560 x 1080 resolution also means there are no black bars above and below the image when watching widescreen 2.35:1 movies and gamers can also enjoy games in immersive cinematic widescreen.
The LED-backlit AH-IPS display has extremely accurate color reproduction that makes the MX299Q ideally suited for both professional and home use. A 178-degree wide viewing angles also ensures minimal color distortion for enhanced screen sharing.
Incredibly subtle yet sophisticated
The MX299Q features an ultra-slim profile measuring just 16.4mm at its thinnest point. ASUS Designo Series MX monitors have received numerous design accolades that include the 2012 Japan Good Design Award. The MX299Q also won a 2013 CES Innovations Awards in the Video Displays category.
