ASUS VS247H-P 23.6" Full HD 1920x1080 2ms HDMI DVI VGA Monitor

These monitors are great. I’ve had one for close to 4 years now and it’s still a spectacular monitor for the money, in fact it’s so good I’ve just bought a second one and am contemplating buying a couple more for another computer. I’ve use high end Dell monitors that cost much more than these and I often find myself wishing I was using these instead. They’re HD 1080p resolution, have an ascetically pleasing thin gloss black frame, have standard VESA mounting, and have VGA, HDMI and DVI inputs. For the majority of users that’s everything you need and these frequently have rebates that bring the pricing to unbeatable levels (although the rebates does take months to arrive). I also bought my first monitor used from Amazon Warehouse Deals at a good discount and it arrived in perfect condition with merely an opened box (was probably just a return) so even if you’re skeptical of used electronics, it might be worth giving it a try. The only thing that is subpar about these monitors is the stock stand. It’s actually terrible. It squeaks like crazy if you shift the monitor at all, has no height adjustment and only minimal tilt adjustment. However, this is far from a deal killer as this monitor has a VESA mount which means that any cheap monitor mount on Amazon will fit it and be a huge improvement over the stock stand. You can even get a nice dual mount if you’ll be running multiple screens. After 4 years this is still just as good a deal as when I first bought it, the specs are competitive with newer screens, and it doesn’t seem dated. I highly recommend these screens; just make sure to purchase an aftermarket VESA mount at the same time. Even with that added expense, these are still an excellent deal compared to similar monitors. Pros: Excellent 1080p resolution, good color saturation, fast 2ms response time, easy to read matte screen, cheap price, nice looking and thin, VESA mount, lots of input options Cons: cheap and flimsy stock stand

No problems so far. Has an incredibly flimsy stand, so I deducted a star for that. But everything else is performing as expected. Using the DVI port to connect to my computer. Response times are great, resolution is great. Wish the brightness would go lower, as its very bright even on the lowest setting - I also could not find an eye-saver setting which I like to use. The border is gloss black and not matte black, which can be a bit distracting and looks kind of tacky. But for a monitor under $100, its great. Would recommend.

I bought this monitor as a secondary for my home office setup since I was tired of squinting at a dinky laptop screen. I had another 24" ASUS monitor that I love and wanted a dual monitor setup with the same size monitors. My old ASUS had been discontinued so I thought this one would be similar. Unfortunately, the difference between them couldnt be more apparent. While the screen size is the same, the border is much wider on the new one which makes it seem larger. When I first plugged it in and had the computer recognize the dual screen, it was obvious that the colors were way off. The yellow tint that other reviewers have complained about was there. I used the monitors menu settings to get them as close as possible but there is so much bleed-through from the backlight that the new one is still brighter and the blacks are not as deep as the older one. I did notice the next day that the yellow tint had vanished so I dont know what that was all about. Im not a perfectionist so Im not going to go through the trouble of boxing the thing up and sending it back just because the blacks arent a true black. It does the job and its much better than staring at a tiny laptop monitor with my aging eyes.

This is decent. I dont use for anything but my second monitor on my gaming rig. I originally got this for twitch so I could have my obs streaming options and stuff on another screen and it worked great.Its been a while since Ive done that cause of PC issues. This is a okay screen for some light gaming and viewing the internet / working etc. I would not recommend it for gaming though as I would recommend something with a 1 ms response time, it makes a difference a big difference in gaming.This screen doesnt have anything that stands out from others its just a nice monitor. I do like the back of it pretty thin d it does not collect dust like my other Asus I use for gaming. The swivle at the bottom is a standerd one i dont really like that to much but thats because right next to it the gaming one has up and down and tilt which is great for a standerd stand. The gaming monitor by Asus I am talking about I believe its called VG24 something something but its a 1ms response and 144 refresh rate so I recommend checking it out if your wanting a gaming monitor or just look up 1ms 144hrtz monitor cause theres probobly better ones now!

Maybe too soon to write a review, I just un-boxed and and set up with 23" monitor to run with my MSI laptop. I was stuck between this ASUS monitor and a HP one and I ultimately chose this one. So I read a lot of review that the color is off and whatnot, which I can agree with, there is a slight difference between the monitor and my laptop but i dont really care as much as other, I mainly go this monitor to help with multitasking and studying. Im and engineering student and sometimes homework is a bit troublesome with only one display and of course I wanted a larger screen to game with. I have the monitor hooked with the HDMI connection and so far I think this is a great monitor, I think that the color contrast is better than my laptop. Ive played Fall out 4 on it and the refresh rate is fast enough to keep up with the game. The only thing that Im slightly pissy about is with the seller. When I first looked at this monitor it was only $109 then 2 hours later when i was ready to make the purchase, the price was increased to $119 and now a week later, the price is $147. Im attempting to do the $20 dollar mail in rebate but the ASUS company doesnt make it easy on you, you have to sign a form, give a copy of the invoice, and original UPS and serial number bar codes off the box. There is no option to submit online, you have to mail the rebate in. So if the rebate comes back, that means I got this monitor for $99, which in my opinion is a great deal for a newer lcd monitor with an hdmi hook up.

This monitor replaced a 19" second monitor for my laptop and provides a significant amount of additional horizontal real estate. I am extremely happy to have this extra width to use with apps such as Eclipse or even OneNote, which seem to thrive on extra horizontal space. I wont be going back to my 19" monitor. The Asus VS247H-P is impressively bright, and I had to adjust the brightness down to about 50% in order to blend better with my laptop and 3rd monitor. I have not noticed any bad pixels (no formal testing however) and light bleed is not noticeable to me, at least at this lower brightness. With regard to mounting, I am using my own VESA desk mounts rather than the stand supplied. Perhaps it is my specific mounts, but the screws that came with the monitor stand mount were too short to grip the VESA mount threads. I had my own but I was slightly worried about using them in case they were too long. Fortunately, they were not long enough to damage anything. I dont recall where I obtained these 4 screws, but I believe they may have originally come with my VESA mounts. The $20 rebate (for the 24") process requires a few hoops and probably is not worth filing if your time is valuable, but I did it and hope to receive my $20 in 6-8 weeks. There is an expedited online process for a $2 fee, but that felt a little like bait and switch so I settled for using a stamp and envelope. EDIT 2014 AUG 1: I just received an email notice that my rebate paperwork had been received. Good. Rebate status: Denied! BAD!!! NOTE: I am meticulous in submitting rebate documentation and have NEVER had a problem with any rebate before. Stated reason for denial: "Copy of Receipt/Invoice or Packing List" missing. It was not missing (see below). The email even supplies a link to show scanned images of the documentation which I sent and they received, and the final page shows the packing slip complete with my Amazon.com order number and price etc. I have no idea what more they could want or why this was denied. They offer to allow me to resubmit, and I do have copies of everything and can do so (for the price of another stamp and envelope) but that would be pointless as it would be an exact duplicate of what I already sent and for which they obviously dont want to send a $20 rebate. I am furious and taking off a star, not for the monitor, but for the lousy Rebate service -- deny first, see if they complain, then credit them- -- this is highly unethical and I dont like it. I will be happy to update this review later if the rebate center replies to my email replies. The ASUS rebate processing 888 number was useless robot which basically served as a firewall. Meanwhile I have emailed Amazon customer support as well as submitted a dispute with my credit card merchant for the original charge. Dont mess with me, Asus!
