Asus shows off energy-efficient monitors

ASUS is showing off a new lineup of energy-efficient LCD monitors. The VH192C and VH196 both use low-levels of mercury and only two lamps to operate, allowing them to use over 20% less power than other comparable monitors. Both screens have optical film applied to them so they can maintain high brightness levels, and the VH192C has a color shine glare-type panel that improves image clarity and color density. No word on when we’ll see these babies hit the street or what sorts of price points they’ll be at. [via Electronista]
