Xonar Essence ST: Brilliant Audio Reproduction of an Exceptional Pedigree

ASUS has broken the boundaries of audio purity with its newest soundcard-the ASUS Xonar Essence ST. With the world's first precision clock tuning capability, the Xonar Essence ST minimizes audio jitter interference by 31% for clearer, crisper, and smoother audio reproduction. Available previously only in high-end living room audio equipment, precision clock tuning frees audio signals from unsynchronized input streams-resulting in extensive music details and livelier sound imaging. The improvement is most significant during general audio CD playback where the sample rate is 44.1kHz. Also, with an amazing 124dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) compared to industry onboard audio solutions with 85-88 SNR, the Xonar Essence ST reproduces truly pure sounds with 64 times clearer audio output.

ASUS BR-HD3: Revolutionary Wireless Kit For Exceptional Audio Video Compression and Streaming

With the introduction of the ASUS BR-HD3 Wireless High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) kit, digital home entertainment has become a reality. Utilizing embedded Analog Devices HDMI ICs and audio processors, the BR-HD3 delivers enhanced audio reproduction and optimized visual images for a stunning home entertainment experience. The BR-HD3 dramatically simplifies the connection between home audio and video electronic components by incorporating revolutionary innovations in video compression and distribution. It easily compresses high definition video in JPEG2000 format and distributes video streams with 802.11n technology. This significantly reduces installation time and equipment costs.

Technologically superior, the BR-HD3 also features non-line-of-sight wireless operation, thus audio visual devices can stream bandwidth-intensive data through walls and across multiple rooms. Transmission quality is comparable to wired solutions with HDMI interfaces. Users can hence easily stream their PC multimedia content to the living room TV, projector or home theater sets. To protect content from unauthorized access, High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) compliance is also supported on the BR-HD3 to prevent content viewing on unauthenticated devices.

ASUS Blu-ray Slim External Optical Disk Drive: Hassle-free High Definition Multimedia on the Move

For hassle-free mobile entertainment, the ASUS Blu-ray Slim External Optical Disk Drive is built compact and light for maximum portability. Users can enjoy viewing videos wherever and whenever they want. Highly mobile, it also incorporates numerous technological innovations including low power consumption, large storage capacity, and an enhanced low thermal design.

Its slim design belies a revolutionary technological innovation-True Theater High Definition (TTHD)-which delivers 480-1080p video quality for high definition images and smoother playback. Additionally, an innovative Disc Encryption feature offers easy, flexible, and secure data storage. Password protection also secures content from unauthorized access.

An exquisitely handcrafted design further enhances the user experience. The ASUS Blu-ray Slim External Optical Disk Drive emanates brilliant blue rays for spectacular light luminance. Additional power adapters are not required as the drive consumes minimal electricity, drawing enough power from its USB connection, which results in better mobility for users.

The ASUS Blu-ray Slim External Optical Disk Drive has received numerous accolades including the 17th Taiwan Excellence Award and 2009 Good Design Award. Models in the range include the SBC-04D1S-U and SBR-04B2T.

The monitors are quite beautiful in design. Too bad they carry the glossy covering to the screen as well. I'd happily take those bezels on any one of my monitors tho. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess these are gonna be Tn-Film tho, judging by the specs. That's most unfortunate, considering these will likely carry a price premium.
