 Solid Monitor July 28, 2010
Thomas G. Royce (Peachtree City, GA)
I have used this monitor since I got it just after Christmas. It is doing everything expected of a monitor of it's class.
No pixel issues, great color response, blacks are good not great but if that is so important you should be spending more on the monitor anyway.
Watching movies in the full screen mode works very well also.
Very Nice Monitor July 23, 2010
Joe W (Florida, USA)
This monitor is very nice, crisp, clean text in an office environment. Good connectivity and worked without much tweaking of the colors. Very satisfied and i have had it a few months now. Definitely a better value than other brands out there. No complaints at all.
 VGA FAIL July 10, 2010

ASUS monitor model VW246H, date of manufacture April 2010. Monitor performs acceptably well in higher-resolution modes.
In the standard default VGA text mode that is used by boot loaders, BIOS setup, and other software that needs maximum compatibility with "lowest common denominator" hardware, the Aspect Control menu option is grayed out and inoperable. This problem also occurs in the standard VGA resolution of 640x480. The impact is that these standard, legacy 4:3 display modes are always stretched horizontally to the width of the widescreen monitor, which is not the correct aspect ratio for these modes, and there is no option to display them correctly.
In a similar but slightly older ASUS monitor (model VK246H, date of manufacture October 2008) it was possible to work around this problem by setting the Aspect Control in a higher-resolution mode. The setting made in the other mode would then somehow "stick" in the lower-resolution modes. Unfortunately, this workaround did not work on the newer monitor.
When asked about a workaround for this problem, ASUS Customer Service stated the following:
"640X480 is not a routine resolution. Most of the functions cannot work in such a low resolution."
"The issue is really casued 640*480. 640*480 is not usual resolution for operation. Aspect control is disabled at 640*480."
This problem would seem to be solvable with a firmware update, but there is no update available at this time, and there won't likely be one in the future if ASUS does not agree that this is a defect. This monitor therefore is not recommendable for users with older PCs, users who work with boot loaders or BIOS setup, users of classic low-res video games, or users who value VGA compliance.
Great "bang for your buck" display July 1, 2010

I've had this monitor for about a week now and I consider it one of the smartest buys I've made in a while. I've got my computer hooked up with VGA. It looks good for text and general use at 1360X768. One feature I like is the 4:3 aspect control on the menu if you are using an older game or an application that wasn't designed for widescreen. It just puts black bars on the sides. I also have my xbox360 hooked up via HDMI and it's great for gaming. I don't have a device that uses DVI input so I can't comment on its quality. The display speakers actually sound pretty good, but they're not quite loud enough. you need to set it to 100 just to hear anything. fortunately you can output your sound to whatever speakers you have which is a good feature. One thing i noticed is that out of the box this display is on the "bright" side. All i did was bump the brightness down a few notches and I was satisfied with the picture. However there are plenty of color settings to play with if you need to get that picture juuuust right, i'm sure you'll find a setting you like.
bottom line: $219 is a pretty good deal for "24 of good looking picture. buy this

Purchased this monitor a few days ago to "upgrade" from my 20" Dell Ultrasharp 2005FPW. The ONLY reason I decided to upgrade is because I felt the screen size was too small. Here are my initial thoughts:
PROS:
- Much bigger than a 20"! (Although after a few days it doesn't seem so big anymore)
- Cheap (Inexpensive)! (I was surprised lcd prices have gone down so drastically the last few years. I paid almost $500 for my Dell 5 years ago)
- 1080p! (Dell was close but wasn't true 1080p)
- No dead pixels! (My Dell had one dead pixel on arrival and had to exchange it)
- No tax and fast free shipping from Amazon (Arrived 4 days after I ordered. Not bad for free shipping)
CONS:
- Base is FLIMSY (Base is just a piece of circular plastic. The Dell base was plastic on the outside but had metal weights on the inside to hold it down. This monitor is extremely wobbly when I press the power button)
- Not height adjustable (The Dell was height adjustable. This one sits pretty low although I'll admit its actually a perfect height for my sitting position)
- Color, contrast, brightness need to be adjusted! (This was a huge con for me. On my Dell, I NEVER had to adjust anything. The Dell seemed to be calibrated MUCH better out of the box. Even after adjusting this monitor, I cannot get it to a similar calibration as the Dell.)
- No USB connections (My Dell had 2 on the monitor)
- Horrible viewing angles (My Dell was a near perfect 180/180 viewing angle. If you're at a slight angle on this monitor, colors get distorted pretty fast)
- Amazon shipped without double boxing. I was pretty amazed no one had stolen the box from my front door. It was clearly marked ASUS and 24" LCD Monitor everywhere with ASUS taping. Pretty obvious what was inside)
I already knew of a few of the CONS before I purchased. Initially, I didn't think they would be a big deal and I thought I could live with it for half the cost of a Dell 24" Ultrasharp. I decided on this monitor based on all the positive reviews from Newegg. Now, I feel like I have taken a step back with this monitor. For me, in car terms, it is like trading in a small German car for a bigger Japanese car. Just not in the same league. Next time, I'll stick with Dell.
