New LCD Monitor Withstands Hammers, Nails, Crossbow
While we're huge fans of LCDs in general for their slim and lightweight designs, they're not necessarily the most durable things in the world. Leave a pen on your laptop keyboard then slam the thing shut and you've got a mess on your hands. Or, knock that expensive 30'' Apple Cinema display off of the corner of your desk and chances are it won't be delivering the same picture quality as it did before. Not so for the Asus LS201, a display with a protective panel made of crystal-sapphire that can withstand more stress tests than we'd have thought to throw at it.
In the above video, courtesy of a Ukranian tech program, the Asus is subjected to some incredibly harsh punishment. It starts with a kid scribbling on the thing, then quickly escalates to someone trying to hammer nails through it, ending with the host firing a crossbow at the display. Amazingly, the monitor puts up with everything and doesn't appear to even be scratched!
Retailing for around $350 - $400 the 20'' LCD isn't the cheapest monitor on the market. But, if you like your products to withstand someone going seriously medieval on them, look no further.
