ASUS VE248H 24" Full HD 1920x1080 2ms HDMI DVI VGA Back-lit LED Monitor

UPDATE 3/26/13: I played: Crysis 3, Dead Space 3, Skyrim, Doom 3: BFG Edition, Far Cry 3, GOW: Ascension, Mass Effect 3, and they all looked great on this monitor. I love this monitor and I definitely recommend it. ---- *So far I have tested 6 PS3 games with this monitor. (Note: the PS3 and Xbox 360 have graphics less good than high-end gaming PCs). *I received my monitor two days ahead of schedule (was shipped by Amazon). *This monitor is HUGE! and lightweight. *The quality of this monitor for the price is impossible to beat. What a deal! *I experienced no GHOSTING. *I'm using a HDMI cable I got from amazong for like a $1 and I compared the cable with the monster HDMI cable that came with my 60'' hdtv and I saw no difference in graphics (you may check out my review on that cable). *Some of the PS3 games I played looked outstanding while others did not but this is due to the games themselves and not the monitor. *If you own a gaming PC you'll enjoy higher graphics than us PS3/XBOX 360 owners. *My desktop screen looks true 1080p HD on this monitor; 1080p HD videos look great too. *The STAND that came with it is excellent; it allows to adjust the angle all the way down facing the floor or facing very up. Also, I put the monitor on my bed and I can freely move on my bed and this stand is so good the monitor barely even moves. Now I can play while on my bed and don't have to be careful at all about moving around! Love the stand! *This product was packed excellently; very secure and professional. I received a brand new product. *The default display settings were horrible but after messing with it for a couple minutes I got a great display. The preset display called "scenary" was the only and best looking one (the others looked terrible). I did try the settings offered by the top reviewer here but his settings were almost exactly as the preset "scenary." *The very first time I turned on the monitor, it was set to only work with VGA so I was forced to connect it to a laptop with VGA before I could actually access the monitor's menu and change to HDMI and edit all the other settings. *The speakers are terrible but this was expected; very low maximum volume too (as expected). :::GAMES TESTED/PLAYED::: *Uncharted 1 & 2: this game is extremely famous for its outstanding graphics. I finished the entire game on this monitor. The game looked absolutely outstanding from start to finish! Incredible/perfect graphics. I am now playing Uncharted 2 and the graphics are outstanding. *Infamous 1: excellent graphics; both cutscenes and gameplay looked true HD. Uncharted takes first place hands down but Infamous is right there with beautiful excellent graphics. *Sniper Ghost Warrior: this game is known for its no-good graphics. This game did not look good but we know it is the game and not the monitor! *GTA IV: shockingly this game looked terrible on this monitor. The cutscenes looked outstanding in true HD but strangely while driving vehicles the graphics looked atrocious. I was not happy at all. I don't know what is wrong. *Crysis 2: this game is very well known for its high-end graphics. The game looked excellent but not as outstanding as Uncharted. But let's not forget that I played the PS3 version - the PS3 console's graphics are limited and are not as high as high-end gaming PCs. Again, Uncharted wins first place hands down but Crysis 2 is right there at the top too. *Prototype 2: this game was criticized for its not-so-good graphics (e.g. IGN review) and it's true. I played this game on this monitor and although the cutscenes looked true HD the gameplay looked sort-of HD. Again, this is the game's fault and the PS3 console's fault and NOT the monitor's fault. Still I enjoyed and loved the game and it still looked great. *Modern Warfare 3: I only played a couple minutes of the game on the monitor but the game did not look as Uncharted and Crysis 2 and Infamous. This is probably because I am comparing in my mind every single game with Uncharted. I mean, Uncharted was absolutely incredible, and MW3's graphics could not compare. But I only played a few minutes of MW3 on this monitor so perhaps it is too soon to give a final verdict. -I need to try Skyrim, Bioshock, God of War III, Dead Space 2, AC: Revelations, and Batman Arkham City, and I'll report how the games look on this monitor, with the PS3 console. VERDICT: +5 stars. Love this monitor. I highly recommend it. The price + quality combination is unbeatable! UPDATE 9/17/12 School started for me here in NYC (college senior) and I have NOT been able to play at all! I know I need to test especially Skyrim and Bioshock but I'm busy with school, schoolwork, and the gym (lifting weights 5 days a week). But when I can I'll test the games! UPDATE 11/3/13: I have been busy and had not much time to play. I do have all the "top/best" games with me though, but I just have to find the time to play my PS3 games... I'm still happy with the monitor though. I was able to connect my iPad 4th Generation to this monitor with a cable (blacks ops zombies) and the game looked great. So I am still happy about this.

I am thrilled with this monitor. I plugged it in and it was instantly working perfectly. The picture is bright and crisp. The colors are vivid, without being too contrasty. The type on Word documents and web sites is razor sharp. Resolution and size are perfect for gaming too. The games I have tested it with all look amazing. It comes with the brightness on 100%, which is very bright. I adjusted this down to 50% and it is perfect for me. It is still brighter and sharper than my laptop. That is the only adjustment I needed to make. I chose this monitor because I have a very small work space and the wires on the back of the monitor face downward, allowing you to mount it directly to a wall. I mounted this to the wall with a 4 dollar picture hanging kit from Lowes. It’s a great option if want to save space on your desk. I could not be more pleased with this purchase. I highly recommend this monitor, and I would buy it again without a second thought. For the sake of this review, I tested the integrated speakers. At full blast, they are audible and would probably be okay for basic web usage (youtube videos, etc.), but I would consider them a bare bones, space saver only, and not a real alternative to speakers. If you want to listen to music, or you need quality audio, you will still need speakers. But as a monitor only (which is how I use it) this ASUS is excellent. FYI, this monitor comes with 3 cables: VGA, DVI and 1/8" audio patch cable. (even if you don't need the speakers, it's nice to have an extra 1/8" audio cable) I Chose Amazon’s free shipping method and received it in 3 days. Awesome!

I have owned the monitor for a few weeks now, and it has performed flawlessly. I use it as my computer monitor. I do not watch movies on it, and I have not used the built-in speakers. My monitor came with no dead or stuck pixels. Amazon shipped the monitor in its original box from Asus. It was left on my doorstep by the delivery person. I am glad no one saw it there and ran off with it. Attaching the base to the monitor is very easy and requires no tools. The base attaches securely, and is fairly stable. The monitor's screen has a matte finish, but the bezel around the outside of the monitor is glossy. Fortunately, the bezel is thin and unobtrusive. A single (thankfully dim) LED indicates the status of the monitor. Overall, I like the plain, unobtrusive styling of the monitor. I looked at monitors from a number of manufacturers, before choosing this monitor, and many have unnecessary cheap-looking details. E.g., a silver stripe along the bottom edge of a Dell monitor and a bright LED and lots of clear plastic around the edges of a Samsung monitor. This monitor has various display modes. Color balance and contrast are very different with each mode. sRGB and Standard modes work best for normal desktop use. I originally used sRGB mode, but the monitor was too bright in my relatively dimly lit room. There does not seem to be a way to adjust things like brightness and contrast, except in Standard mode (but I could be missing something). No matter, Standard mode offers a wide range of adjustments, and I was quickly able to adjust the display to my liking. The control buttons along the bottom edge of the monitor are no more or less intuitive that those of other monitors I have used in the past. The viewing angle is as good as other monitors I've looked at in this price range. I have owned and used a number of LCD monitors over the years, and I do not think that this monitor displays any more ghosting than these others. Perhaps there are higher-priced monitors that do not suffer from any ghosting-like artifacts, but I suspect that this monitor is just as good as others in its price range. This is a good monitor. Regarding ghosting, I watched a number of YouTube videos that show the "ghosting problem" with this monitor. The ghosting was actually more pronounced when I watched these videos on my old HP LCD monitor than when I watched them on my new Asus monitor. I suppose this means that my old monitor (which was very expensive when I bought it) had more of a ghosting problem than this monitor. It does not pay to obsess over these things. For the price, this looks to be a very good monitor, and I have no reservations recommending it to others.
