ASUS VS248H-P 24" Full HD 1920x1080 2ms HDMI DVI VGA Back-lit LED Monitor

[Edit: 4/10/19] 2 years in and the monitors are still doing great. No dead pixels, no unforeseen issues. original review still holds. ---Original--- Great light monitors for mounting onto monitor arm stands. I bought a pair of these for a dual monitor setup. The menu and presets are easy to get to and use. The contrast isnt as great as my previous ASUS monitor and this one has better specs. Ive tried several calibrations as posted on the reviews but I just cant get the clarity of my older ASUS monitor. Since I use this primarily for gaming I notice it the difference in the extreme, but hope that maybe there is another setting im just not seeing, however, At this price point, it was difficult to pass up. PROS: + Very light weight monitor + Easy to attach to monitor arm stands. Use paperclip or thumb tack to remove the rubber protectors. CONS: - even with better specs, the colors for this seem to have less vibrancy and contrast when compared to my 5 year old ASUS monitor. - Blacks dont seem quite as black as they should be leaving some games looking a little washed out.

So my main rig died after about 8 years of faithful service and so it was time for some upgrades. I decided that while I was upgrading the one rig, Id build a pair of new ones for my wife and I, relegating my old rig to standard downloading/streaming tasks. One of the new parts to be considered was a monitor, as mine were dying a slow miserable death. Enter, the ASUS VS229H-P. I basically had a short list of requirements for this monitor: >20-25" >HDMI >VERSA compatible After reading through a metric ton of reviews I settled on this ASUS, and Ive not been disappointed. In fact, I liked it so much that I ordered two more, and will likely order another one or two, making it the standard monitor for my house. The stand it comes with is decent, but I intended to mount it from the start (hence the need for VERSA compatibility). So I picked up one of these to mount it to ( VideoSecu TV Wall Mount Articulating Arm Monitor Bracket for most 12"-24", some up to 27" LCD LED Plasma Flat Panel Screen TV with VESA 100/75mm ML10B 1E9 ) paired with a 10 HDMI cable, and mounted it above my computer desk. The picture is beautiful, paired with my 980Ti it blows my old setup away. And for the price, you cant beat it. Picked all of mine up for around $110 a piece. Honestly, the only thing I would change if I could is the finish. Its that glossy black that is impossible to keep clean. I would have preferred a matte black finish. But honestly its hair splitting at this point.

For the money this is a solid monitor. Viewing angles are decent, colors look pretty good, very sharp picture. The size is also perfect for 1080p. I previously had a 27 Inch AOC 1080p monitor and honestly it looked horrible because of the low PPI. The unboxing experience was very pleasant. The box was easy to open and was very easy to assemble. In the box you get: The base stand, the display itself, a power cable, a VGA and a DVI Cable, unfortunately no HDMI, but DVI Does give out pretty much the same signal as HDMI. Once you connect the monitor to your PC, Mac or game console you will soon realize the colors and brightness are a bit off. So once you get this monitor you will have to calibrate it and change some monitor settings to your liking. Once you do that and its setup to your perference, then you will really like this monitor. In fact, the factory presets are the only reason I gave this monitor a 4/5. Whos this monitor for? Well, its not really designed for graphic artists. There are better options out there. I use mine with my gaming PC and games look very nice, but if you want more accurate color then you may want to pick up a more high end monitor. Overall, would I recommend it? Yes. If you dont care about a few colors being slightly off and just want a basic 1080p monitor, go for it. Its like every other Asus product, its solid and works very well.
