Are you looking for a new display that is versatile, colourful, and eco-friendly? If so, you’ll love the new ASUS VU display lineup. These Full HD monitors come in 23.8-inch or 27-inch sizes, with IPS panels, 100Hz refresh rates, and four colour options. They also have a sleek design, a height-adjustable stand, a cable management clip, an HDMI port, and a USB Type-C port with Power Delivery. ASUS offers these displays in soothing colours: Quiet Blue, Green Grey, Astro Beige, and Pink Clay.

But what makes ASUS VU displays stand out is their reduced environmental impact. The company boasts how they use 85% recycled plastic and halogen-free PCBs to make them and 100% recycled paper to package them. They're also aiming to meet the Energy Star 8.0, EPEAT Silver, and TCO Certified standards for energy efficiency, sustainability, and social responsibility. Plus, these displays have a light sensor and an Energy Saving mode to help you save power and money. The ASUS VU displays are designed for everyday computing tasks, casual gaming, and content creation. We don't have pricing yet, and it's unclear if these displays will make it to this side of the world. But we're hoping they do.
