Let's face it -- viewing true Hi-definition (HD) content in India is still a luxury and a distant dream for many. However, it doesn't hurt (or does it?) to learn about HD-related advancements people in other parts of the world are enjoying. ASUS, the Taiwan-based electronics company, has unveiled their HDTV Suite-HDMI for people who'd like to avail HD quality on a monitor of any size bigger than 15-inch.
HDTV Suite-HDMI, a standalone TV box, when attached to a monitor enables users to use their monitor as an HDTV. When connected with a monitor with a resolution between 1024 x 768 and 1920 x 1200, it effectively transforms the resolution to 1920 x 1200; the device can up-convert any signals it receives to 1080p. The product comes with a built-in TV engine with latest technologies that enables it to produce quality picture output. It includes adjustments like Advanced 3D Comb, Flesh Tone Correction, Dynamic Deblocking, and Dynamic Anti-flicker Brightness Adjustment.
These adjustments, ASUS says, make it produce even better quality pictures. For high quality video playback, it features ASUS Splendid Video Intelligence technology. The source input selection for the device includes HDMI as well as RF, DVI/VGA for PCs, S-Video, composite and component. Its hub supports plug-n-play connection options that let users connect to gaming consoles and DVD players.
Since it also outputs via DVI/VGA and line-out, the Suite-HDMI also permits using a monitor as part of a multimedia center without ever having to turn on the computer also attached to the device. No word on the price and availability of this innovation yet. But once this product is out in the market, you may not have to burn your pockets for an HDTV, of course, provided the cost of this product itself is reasonable!
