Shortly before the formal Computex 2017 event opening, the Asus Company presented several specialties, including the super-slim Designo MZ27AQ monitor.



Designo MZ27AQ obtained a frameless 27-inch IPS-panel with the 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution, covering 100% of sRGB colour gamut. The novelty from Asus supports TÜV Rheinland-approved Flicker-free and Low Blue Light techs to provide secure viewing and eye-care.

Among interface options offered one can find two HDMI and one DisplayPort connectors.


At present, it is known that Designo MZ27AQ has got a 2017 Computex d&i Award. There is no info about the price, though.
