ASUS introduces the ZenScreen Smart Monitor MS27UC with Google TV for seamless work and entertainment

ASUS launches the ZenScreen Smart MS27UC, a 27-inch 4K Google TV smart monitor offering an all-in-one experience for work and entertainment.

ASUS has launched its first Google TV-enabled smart monitor, the ZenScreen Smart MS27UC, designed to effortlessly combine work and entertainment into a single display. Available in Singapore from mid-November 2024 for S$649, the new ZenScreen MS27UC promises an immersive 27-inch 4K experience with vibrant visuals and versatile connectivity options.

Enhanced viewing experience with Google TV and premium audiovisuals

The ZenScreen Smart MS27UC, featuring Google TV, provides users access to over 400,000 films and TV shows across more than 10,000 apps in one place. With personalised recommendations, viewers can easily discover content suited to their tastes, and voice control enables hands-free navigation, music playback, and management of compatible smart home devices. With a 99% sRGB colour gamut, VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, and a wide 178ยฐ viewing angle, the 27-inch 4K panel offers vivid picture quality, while the dual front-facing 5W Harman Kardon-certified speakers provide rich audio for a cinema-like experience.

The ZenScreen MS27UC also serves as a comprehensive workspace. Users can log in to their Google Account and access Google Workspace without needing a separate computer, transforming the monitor into an all-in-one workstation. This feature makes it easy to switch between work and entertainment seamlessly.

Seamless device connectivity and multitasking features

The ZenScreen Smart MS27UC offers multiple connectivity options to support a range of devices, including USB Type-C with 90W Power Delivery, HDMI, DisplayPort, and two USB hubs. This allows smooth integration with laptops, tablets, and smartphones, making it a central hub for work and media. Its Multi-Control feature enables users to operate several devicesโ€”such as PCs and mobile phonesโ€”via a single Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, streamlining control across platforms.

Additionally, the Multi-View function supports split-screen multitasking, letting users view content from two different sources simultaneously. This feature is ideal for professionals who require access to multiple devices at once.

For those into live streaming, the monitorโ€™s integrated Multi-Platform Live Streaming app allows users to broadcast content to up to four platforms, including YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook, simultaneously. This feature is particularly useful for content creators and social media users looking to engage with larger audiences.

Elegant design with ASUS Design Thinking

The ZenScreen Smart MS27UC showcases ASUSโ€™s dedication to both functionality and style. Its ultrathin bezel and compact 150mm stand help users maximise desktop space, while the stand, inspired by ASUSโ€™s โ€˜Aโ€™ monogram, includes a cable management hole for a tidy workspace. A rear storage compartment provides space for stowing the remote control or a small keyboard and mouse set, adding an extra layer of convenience.

With professional-grade speaker cloth and two-tone acoustic knit, the speakers offer a refined look, complemented by the monitorโ€™s sleek Lightning Silver matte finish. An intuitive OSD joystick is located under the bezel for quick adjustments to display settings, ensuring ease of use.

The ZenScreen MS27UC brings a stylish and adaptable setup that fits seamlessly into both home office and entertainment environments.
