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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal monitor for setups with two or more screens

So I wanted to give myself some time with the product before writing a review. Note: This is a review of the 22 inch model. Recently it turned out that reviews of this product are combined for monitors of all sizes. I've had the first one for about 6 months and just bought the second one. Appearance First, I like the look and it doesn't take up much space. The stand is very solid and allows you to tilt the monitor up and down about 5-10 degrees (sounds little, but the difference is huge). I have a similar sized Hannspree LCD monitor in an additional room and have found the color accuracy to be MUCH BETTER on these ASUS monitors. I currently have 2 monitors on a triple mount (I'm going to buy a 3rd, slightly larger for a medium screen) and they act like wings next to my laptop. It's great for multitasking and organizing different programs while you work. Screws and nuts. The monitors are very easy to assemble and are quite light. They look sleek without the stand hanging from a proper desktop mount at the bottom, be it a wall mount or multi-stand. All you need to remove the stand is a Phillips screwdriver and I was able to install both monitors in about 10 minutes. Screen Resolution and Settings For those who don't know or are unfamiliar with it. VGA/HDMI/DVI are all output up to the maximum resolution for that display (1920 x 1080). It is also important to know that there are different versions of DVI connectors. VGA and HDMI are pretty versatile, but DVI has many variations. I currently have one connected to my VGA port on my laptop and the other to HDMI on your laptop. If you decide to use more monitors, you need VGA/DVI to USB converters. Make sure the PC you are connecting to allows multiple monitors (if you right click on the desktop and select "Screen Resolution" you should see a button that says "Detect". - this should show you how many compatible devices your computer graphics card can work A blank screen will appear saying "No other display connected" Make sure you know how many monitors your graphics card can support before you sign up opting for a multiple monitor setup my 3rd monitor.I will probably buy something without a bezel on the sides so I can put it in front of the bezel on two ASUS monitors.Both purchases were used with Revain Prime and I opted for a stand for 3 knee monitors from PWR + decided stand link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HUWEXE0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1Ic h highly recommend this product The product is fast delivery 2 days on both stands and the monitors were fantastic (if you have a main account). The TV used in the setup is great too. Ideal for 3 monitor games, you can use your TV as a game card.
