Review on Asus VP228QG: 21.5-Inch Screen Monitor with 🖥️ 1920x1080p, 75Hz, Blue Light Filter, Built-in Speakers, & More by Travis Yamagata

It was a decent monitor, especially for the price we paid. It's a great size for my desk and was easy to set up on the included stand. However, it took a bit of work to get it working with a new computer I built and within a month something broke on the screen causing a solid vertical green line to appear roughly down the middle of the screen. from top to bottom. I used the monitor the night before during which time it worked fantastic and showed no signs of a problem. Computer and monitor turned off and went to bed. When I woke up the next day, turned on the computer and the monitor, and after I disconnected the computer, restarted the monitor and went through the settings to see if that fixed the problem, there was a green line, which did not disappear. I have no idea what could have caused the problem as last night it was working fine and not being moved or touched other than pressing the power button. While it could just be a compatibility issue with a newly manufactured computer, when you first connect it shows nothing but an out of range error. I had to play around with device manager, settings and driver updates a lot (while my PC was connected to the TV) before the monitor showed what the PC was doing. Even after all this I still get an out of range error when booting the computer until the computer gets to the login menu. From now on, the monitor works normally. Now that it actually worked, it looked great and worked great! Very smooth images and can reach up to 75Hz (after enabling this feature in your computer settings). Looking at the head, the color didn't look very washed out, and the brightness was good when set to 100. It had an fps counter that could be enabled in the game bar menu. Which, as far as I could tell, was always right when I played. So it's a worthy alternative for those who don't want to download programs for this function. The monitor had several different color modes designed for different purposes, but you can only stick to one color mode that you like. The built-in speakers had decent sound quality and were automatically recognized by my computer, which was very convenient. I really want to rate this monitor higher as it did its job very well when it was working, but those out of range errors were quite difficult. to get around when I first got this monitor and it didn't last nearly as long as I would have liked. Perhaps the one I received was an exception and not the norm for this type of monitor. With that in mind, I'd recommend at least trying this monitor out if you're on a budget and don't want to spend more than $200 on a gaming monitor. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it a 6.5/10 overall. 9/10 if I hadn't run into these two issues.
