ASUS VE228H 1920X1080 Back Lit Monitor 21.5", 60Hz, Wide Screen, Review

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…

There have been some reports of dead pixels and faulty devices, but I'm happy to report that the monitor I received a few days ago was in perfect condition. The screen is perfect - it's wide, much wider than my last screen, and I'm running it at 1980 x 1080. I'm a gamer (who I would call a "hardcore" gamer, as I'm very keen on making my own building computers and choosing the right hardware) and I was worried I wouldn't be able to find a monitor. that would suit my needs. This one is perfect…

I've been using this monitor for at least 4 months now and I've never been happier with my purchase! The discount offered was great too! I was able to connect it to my Macbook via DVI and my Xbox 360. I'm waiting to bring my PS3. This beauty has run without glitches or dead pixels so far, and the speakers on the back are a nice addition to this quality monitor. I want to dispel a certain myth about white highlights mirroring at the edges of the monitor. That's totally wrong. The edges of the…

I bought this monitor for my daughter to use for school and play. This is a slightly thick LCD monitor, but in terms of panel quality and the ports available, it gets the job done. For comparison, I used it with the ThinkCentre M900 mini-tower, which only has an integrated graphics card. I had to tweak the normal color settings to get the best image; but after everything was done it works great and looks great! I would recommend it if you are looking for a cheap monitor with no ads.

I use this as my 3rd monitor and only use it to display characters. SETUP is stupid. It turned on and said it was connected to VGA. I needed HDMI. Press the "Menu" key. Nothing happens. At startup, the power button turned blue and then red. I called ASUS support, they needed a serial number. The support person showed me their script several times. She asked if it works on VGA? Good. I have a laptop with side VGA output (Lenovo W530, 7+ years old). I unplugged the laptop from the docking station

Dude, where do I start? Let me start with the good first as there is very little that is bad. I wanted a monitor mainly because it was cheaper than a TV and could do the same thing as a TV. I mainly use this to play Xbox next to my bed and watch Netflix and it's been a great experience so far! Before I get into the pros and cons, let me tell you a few things about it. means a high-end Sony 4k display for $600 but priced at around $150 or less? This thing is perfect. Whether you're building a PC

Bought this monitor over a year ago. I have connected this monitor to two PCs using a Starview KVM switch, one PC is a 32-bit Windows XP Home Media computer and the other is a 64-bit Windows 7 Pro computer. I have a VGA connection to a Windows XP computer and a DVI connection to a Windows 7. I bought this particular monitor for 3 reasons, firstly it has VGA, secondly it has DVI and thirdly because it has built in speakers. The menus are difficult to navigate when switching from VGA to DVI and…

I have had this monitor for over 5 years. I bought this in college when I got bored of the 1280x800 display on my laptop. Let me tell you, if you're studying computer science, even a monitor will help you more. It has stood the test of time and has not diminished in quality. It is now replaced as the primary monitor with a 1440p 144Hz monitor. So let's get to the rating. The display is decent. It has a warm display. Warm enough to make some blues look a bit purple. However, this can be remedied

The Bad: It's not a high-color monitor and shouldn't be expected for the price. Not a very high refresh rate. So if you're looking for a competitive level of eSports gaming, look elsewhere with a higher refresh rate. expected gray cast on dark screens. This display has no local dimming. Pros: This is an inexpensive monitor and should be treated as one. casual games? Sure, Nintendo Switch, great. Audio can be streamed to headphones with headphone output. There is a good range of color settings…

I've been a die-hard ASUS fan for about 10 years, have built quite a few computers using their motherboards and finally bought one of their economical gaming computers - everything is great. About two years ago I bought an ASUS VE247 monitor and enjoyed using it with a DVI input. I recently bought a Raspberry Pi computer and hooked it up to the ASUS HDMI input. ASUS VE247 did not detect an HDMI signal, displayed the message "No DVI" for a few seconds and went into sleep mode. After a few hours…

This is a great product which is exactly what I expected from Asus. I'm sure you're concerned about the picture quality and I'm happy to report that this is one of the best monitors I've ever used. Its screen is very bright thanks to its LED backlight (yes, LED is in the name, but it's actually an LED-backlit LCD that looks fantastic, so don't worry) and the picture is crystal clear, no problem with glare. or dead pixels to speak. This monitor also comes with a 3 year warranty and I have a hard

I really like this product, it works exactly as advertised. Just a few things to let buyers know about my personal experience: I ordered this monitor brand new for my first PC build and it arrived with a dead pixel. I asked to be replaced and it was very easy. They sent me a replacement and I had 30 days to send another one back and leave it at the UPS store. The new one they sent me also had a dead pixel somewhere else. Some of my friends have told me that things like this are more common…

Picture quality is top-notch, as you would expect from ASUS. I bought this monitor because of the built in speakers to save space on my desk. It is convenient to use one HDMI cable to transmit both video and audio signals. Reduces the number of cables. The sound quality is not very good and not very loud. It's okay for my little girl, but I don't think you'll be jamming Metallica videos on YouTube.

I've been looking for a new desktop monitor since the fluorescent backlight on my trusty 2005 EIZO 17-inch monitor started to dim badly. I've lived with the blackout for many years. For the past 12 months, I've been eyeing the NEC MultiSync EA232WMi 23-inch widescreen LCD monitor as an LED-backlit replacement. But then I became an ASUS fan as one product after another won me over. They make the best Android tablets. They make the best Google TV device. And they make excellent ultrabooks, so I…

Okay let me start by saying this is a great monitor, I've used it for video editing and light gaming. To be honest I bought this monitor because it was the cheapest 22" monitor (trustworthy) I found with HDMI, so I turned on my computer (first time) and immediately output @ 1920 x 1080 , but I had a black border after installing Windows and everything I downloaded a driver for my graphics card (xfx radeon hd 6870) and then adjusted the colors from there (which was a plus and the image was full…

I use my laptop as the primary desktop in my college dorm, but I just needed more screen real estate to improve my productivity while completing tasks. My budget was around $100 and I wanted HDMI and 1080p resolution. After reading hundreds of reviews this was one of the best monitors I have found at this price point. Here are my own observations: Design: I've always trusted Asus and admired their quality. The plastic of this monitor is no exception. It is very well made and I have no doubt…
