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, & crafted a stand that symbolizes complete flexibility, professionalism, & meticulous art. A masterful culmination of advanced technology & 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 & 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 & stylish design.

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 & below the image when watching widescreen 2.35:1 movies & 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 & home use.
