ASUS VA249HE 1080P Monitor: Experience Crisp Visuals and Wide Viewing Angle on a 23.8" Touch Screen Display at 60Hz Review

I'm not a gamer and I don't do any serious video work, so I'm not able to look at this in terms of what many consider most important. In fact, my eyesight is far from perfect and I suffer from color blindness. So if you want an overview of the best visuals, look elsewhere. All I can say about its visual quality is that it's great for my needs, with a sharp, clear and bright display. Instead, I'll talk about the features that are important to me. Great stand with easy assembly. When I get a new…

This is an updated VA24DQ that was released about 18 months ago and can still be found at Revain, although no longer in stock at the time of writing. This model has everything its bigger brother has: the 23.8-inch IPS screen is still great, it still updates at up to 75MHz, it still supports FreeSync/AdaptiveSync, it still has DisplayPort connectivity still has a pair of (albeit weak) speakers. .Moreover, it comes with a sturdy stand that not only allows you to tilt and adjust the height of the…

Is that thing supposed to include mounting screws? If so, then I didn't have any. Why are the monitor and stand included but no elements to hold them together? I would understand if it was just the monitor and you had to buy other items separately, but that's like a middle finger for me when I realized the screws were missing after emptying the box. I was looking forward to setting up two monitors today. Now I have to wait another day to get the screws.

That display on this one is great. Very happy with it. However, I bought this particular monitor because it also has a built-in speaker. This feature turned out to be a terrible disappointment. Sounds like an old portable transistor radio. My laptop speakers sound better than this monitor's speakers. I was hoping to get at least a decent sound out of it, but it's just awful. I think I'll have to get an external speaker or soundbar. :(

If you have astigmatism or damaged eyes, be sure to buy these. Less pain and more time for normal vision. My boys got 2 monitors each and never complained. The most common complaint is that they spend all day at the computer from school and don't want to spend too much time on the internet and gaming, preferring to use their phones or Xbox. No boy needs glasses, but they always had a headache after a few hours with their old monitors. I had to work on my oldest computer to show it how to copy a

It's a really good monitor and with the built in speakers it works well as an HDTV. First the picture. It is very good. I won't say it's amazing as at times it can appear either washed out or overly saturated depending on how the Splendid Video Intelligence Technology is set up. With a push of a button at the bottom of the front panel you can switch between a range of settings such as Theater, Landscape, Night View, Gaming and an additional one or two. Each of these settings adjusts the…

This screen is amazing, the adjustable height makes a huge difference. I liked the blue light filter. Great for working from home!

I am delighted with this monitor. I plugged it in and it worked perfectly straight away. The picture is bright and clear. The colors are strong, not too rich in contrast. Fonts in Word documents and websites are crisp. The resolution and size are perfect for gaming. All the games I've tested it on look fantastic. It comes with 100% brightness which is very bright. I reduced it to 50% and it's perfect for me. It's still brighter and sharper than my laptop. This is the only adjustment I had to…

I bought it with a 40% discount, so I took that into account in the review. Firstly, the package was properly sealed with no damage to the box and arrived on time (2 days first class delivery). It came in a box with the product so I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving it outside for a long time. The good news is that this was known at the time of purchase. The monitor has a solid base, and the edges and base are glossy. This attracts a lot of dust and also easily shows scratches; I tried wiping…

I didn't buy it for gaming but as a monitor for main computer use. Excellent. Works perfectly. Do not use for gaming, so not over that use yet.

I've had the monitor for a few weeks now and it works perfectly. I use it as a computer monitor. I don't watch movies on it and I didn't use the built-in speakers. My monitor arrived with no dead or stuck pixels. Revain ships the monitor in the original Asus packaging. The courier left it on my doorstep. I'm glad nobody saw him there and ran away with him. Attaching the base to the monitor is very easy and requires no tools. The base is safe and stable enough. The monitor screen has a matte…

When someone mentioned that their iPhone has the best speakers, they were literally not kidding. When you read how bad public speakers are, you should understand that no one exaggerates. I bought this monitor just for my PS4 Slim in my office, since the PS4 Slim doesn't have an optical output, I chose a monitor with built-in speakers. This is definitely one of the worst speakers you will ever come across. Not a big deal as I often move my system to the living room on the big screen. So it…

I received this in early February 2013. Built-in speakers are useless. To hear them in a normal room with little background noise, you have to get up and put your head on the monitor. NOT a very practical way to use the monitor. Please understand that I have been working in the electronics field for over 30 years. I know audio and I know PC. I was the owner of a service business for 10 years servicing all types of audio equipment from clock radios to high end audio equipment and I have also…
