Review on ASUS VP229HE: The Ultimate 21.5" HD Monitor with Adaptive Sync, Frameless Design, and Blue Light Filter by Mark Shuster

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great, but be careful what I say

This monitor appears to be made by different companies despite having the same ASUS brand and model number. I ordered two of these monitors and one matched the colors on my laptop display while the other was washed out and the red looked orange. I was unable to fix the washed out colors either through the monitor settings or by manually changing the RGB settings on the monitor and my NVIDIA settings. I immediately decided I couldn't accept this, sent the monitor back with faded colors and received another with no problem. Revain did a great job sending me another monitor with no gimmicks asap. The two monitors I currently have are great and the colors are the same. I noticed differences between two monitors with the same model number. I will describe the good monitor first and then the bad monitor. The pictures will also be in the same order. Packaging1.) Good: The handle on the packaging box is white. Bad: black pen. 2.) Good: The foam protects the front and back of the monitor. Bad: The foam protects the top and bottom of the monitor 3.) Good: Quick start guide for VS228/VS229/VK228. Bad: Quick Start Guide for VS228/VS238/VS247Monitor1.) Good: Power LED is dark blue and dark. Bad: The power indicator is light blue and bright. 2.) Good: The underside of the base is half metal and half plastic. Bad: The bottom of the base is all metal. 3.) Good: The menu is smaller and not as bright. Bad: The menu items are bigger and brighter4.) Good: The monitor is bigger Bad: The monitor is smaller The ASUS logo has no effect on turning on the monitor. Bad: The ASUS logo appears from the center outwards. They have beautiful colors and go well with whatever I throw at them.
