ASUS-exclusive GamePlus Technology

When it comes to design, ASUS always have customers in mind – the ASUS VA326H features the ASUS-exclusive GamePlus hotkey with crosshair and timer functions. Gamers can select four different crosshair types to suit the gaming environment; while the latter keeps players aware of the elapsed time in real-time strategy games. These tools allow gamers to practice and improve on their gaming skills.
