Review on ASUS VE228H 1920X1080 Back Lit Monitor 21.5", 60Hz, Wide Screen, by Cory Fowler

Very good product for my use. Very satisfied! I didn't buy it as a PC monitor, but as a gaming monitor. My husband and I are gamer lovers and have been participating in gaming tournaments with friends for many years. Typically 4-8 players would gather in a house, each with their own Xbox or PS3 and some sort of screen to play with. Most of our friends hooked up these systems to a small TV, laptop monitor and one guy even used a 10 inch portable DVD player with input. A friend mentioned that he bought a monitor with HDMI and sound on sale. .After bringing it, I have never seen Assassin's Creed 3 so beautiful and on such a small screen, so easy to assemble! That was great! He had an Asus 19", so I decided to look for a monitor myself. ! This monitor has everything I need. And I am very happy with it, but I will explain the pros and cons point by point. Pros - Large 21.5 inch screen with clear HD image via HDMI not included - Easy access to buttons on the bottom of the monitor 1. View mode, sound, brightness and full menu can be easily accessed 2. Comes with a Supplied with an easy-to-understand user guide You won't be able to handle buttons in almost every language imaginable - Has video presets for a variety of colour, contrast and brightness settings Standard, Theater, Game, Night View, sRGB and Landscape For gaming Not many monitors have HDMI at this price point No problem Connection to any HDMI device PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Laptop, Direct TV, DVD and BluRay worked without problems No tools built-in B asis Assembles and fixes Metal Pin - The screen tilts up and down very easily. In that sense it doesn't really matter, but these speakers aren't very powerful at all. - The monitor's volume and brightness controls were a little confusing at first. The down arrow is for volume and the up arrow is for brightness. To increase the volume, press the down arrow key and then the up arrow key. Pressing the up arrow increases the brightness. You have to tell the device that you want to use the volume or brightness, and then you can use the up or down arrow with any key. The microphone jack and headphone jack are fairly close together. The jack on the front is for headphones and the jack on the back with a green border is for microphones. "It was difficult to tell if my monitor was on because the blue light in the lower corner of the device appeared to be obscured and illuminated by bright sunlight. doesn't seem to be burning. Blue on red off but I wasn't sure at first. I highly recommend this product. IF YOU WANT A SMALL TV but the prices are too high and you only want to connect a DVD or PS3/Xbox360 THIS IS FANTASTIC!
