ASUS VS247H-P 23.6" Full HD 1920x1080 2ms HDMI DVI VGA Monitor, Black

I must have read every customer review of at least fifty to sixty monitors, both from here on Amazon, and several other online retailers, before hesitatingly ordering this one (VS247H-P). I say "hesitatingly", because a monitor is (or can be) a very scary thing to order. What with all of the horror stories about "dead pixels", and "stuck pixels". I was very scared to order any monitor online. But, living in a rural area inconveniently located far from any brick and mortar electronics retailers, I chose this route for convenience, and a fair price. I was not disappointed!The first thing I did upon firing this monitor up, was to check for bad pixels. Not a one. I sighed with relief, and began to explore it's functionality. As others have stated, this thing is blindingly bright (slight exaggeration)out of the box. After adjusting that down, I went through the pre-programmed modes, and decided that none of these are exactly right for me for everyday general use. But it was not really a problem to get it adjusted manually. Just took a few days to get it to my liking. Now I find it brilliantly colored, sharp, crisp, and rich. I have no issues with ghosting, either while watching videos, movies, etc., nor while gaming. I'm sure that if I really looked hard, I could find some trace of ghosting during gaming, but I'd really have to look for it, and for the price of this monitor, who could complain.I did, like most, find the base to be lacking in stability. But this is minor to me, since it's not unstable to the point that it's going to tip over from light jarring, or slight bumps to the monitor itself. I would say that if this bothers you, get a monitor stand to attach it to. I don't find it necessary myself. This is the only minor complaint I have for this monitor.All in all, I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a nice, larger sized monitor. I am going to get another one for a dual monitor setup. I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase!Edit: I did purchase another of this monitor for a dual setup, and I love it... now I'm looking at a third for surround gaming!!

I've been holding off on this, because I wanted to spend some time with it to give an experienced review. I'm just dumping a lot of details out there for you to absorb and make your own decision, but don't get me wrong, this is an AWESOME monitor for those of us that don't care for glossy screens.I didn't buy this for the size; I bought it for the LED backlight, 2ms response, 1920 resolution, and the high contrast ratio. It just happened to be the only size I could get with those requirements.SoundThis monitor does not come with speakers, but does come with a headphone jack located next to the video ports in the rear. This headphone jack is, to my knowledge, fed purely through HDMI if your video card supports injection of audio along with the video it displays (My GTX 560 Ti supports this). There is no way to control the volume for this port via the monitor and you will need to rely up the volume control provided through your OS or headphone's controls.DisplayMy monitor arrived with 100% of the pixels working; not one single stuck or dead pixel. This was the first thing I checked for when I received it.The 2ms response time is great. I don't see any ghosting or other types of lag. I tested this with Transformers 2. During the scene where the Devastator comes together my 60Hz TV was so laggy it was hard to see all of the details; with this monitor I was able to see every intricate detail of the vehicles connecting together to form the Devastator. Now I want to upgrade my TV.Compared to any other LCDs I have, this has very little color distortion based on different viewing angles. The only time colors show noticeable change is when looking from a higher viewing angle (not left, right, or below).Sometimes, during a solid colored screen, I think I see minor light-bleed effect in some areas, but lately I haven't. It's very rare/negligible and not noticeable at all during use.The screen itself is very bright, colors are vivid, and whites are white and not yellowed (it puts my 2008 MacBook to shame).I have been satisfied with all the default color settings. It comes with six pre-programmed modes. I normally only use Game/Theater/Standard modes. Similar to shopping for TV's in a store, once you switch to Standard you'll think "Eww, that's so bleached", but once you walk away and come back it looks awesome again. The Theater mode is configured more for darker pictures.Since it's dynamic contrast, I noticed during testing that a screen of pure black is not as black as I'd like (because it has nothing to compare/adjust against), but once you pull up an actual picture with content or play a video blacks are dark black, whites are bright white, and it does very well at displaying the various levels of contrast in between.BuildIt's pretty thin and seems well built. The base is very easy to take on and off for transport, but you may want to use a screwdriver if you're OCD and the 1-2 degree of possible rotation from only hand-tightening annoys you. The screen sits level and doesn't lean at all one way or the other. There is a indentation in the back, probably mainly for heat dissipation, that I've been using as a handle-grip for transporting to LAN parties. This seems to work rather well, even if it's not intended to be used this way. The monitor itself stays really cool and I hardly notice any luke warm air coming from it even when I'm right up to it.Other ThoughtsAs much as people complain about the reflections of glossy screens, I don't think the Aero/"ooh, shiny object" effect of the gloss will ever seem inferior to my non-glossy screen (remember that TV shopping effect?). At the same time I am glad to have a non-glossy screen and am really surprised at how well it handles the colors for being such. It's both a pro and a con for me.I have no issues viewing text on this screen. I had a laptop with a 15.5" LCD running at 1920x1280 and never (okay, rarely) had any issues reading small text, and I can tell you this 23" 1920x1080 screen is much easier to read, because... well... all 2+ million of those pixels are larger than on my 15". Sure, my dad may still complain about the font, but all-in-all if you have trouble reading small things get a display with a lower native resolution (else things typically get blurry when you lower from the native resolution) or attempt to utilize the operating system's built-in scaling settings. The text itself displays nice and crisp, just how I like it.*2014 Note: This was a 2011 review of the ASUS VS247H-P. It seems Amazon has since reused the listing and/or reviews to now be attributed to a newer model.Originally posted: 2011/09/24Last edited: 2014/08/02

All in all I think you'll be hard pressed to find a better gaming monitor for such a low price, but there are definitely a few things to be aware of with this monitor. First, it seriously needs a break in period, it takes several days of use for the monitor to really come alive. I don't think I've ever had a monitor that looked so much better after it's break-in. Before break in I was about to return the monitor, colors were very washed out, the edges of the display were sort of foggy and the monitor had a lot of ghosting. I fiddled with setting and got it to a point that was reasonable but I was far from impressed. Still I didn't have time to return it right then and figured I'd give it a little more time. after a few days, with only a few hours use per day, the monitor started to become more what I had expected. The ghosting stopped, the colors warmed up and the darks got a lot better. There is still a little bit of that fogginess around the edges but it's minimal and I only notice it if I look for it. The darks on the monitor are still fairly washed out but it isn't terrible. Where this monitor shines is the quick response time and complete lack of input lag. the screen in general just looks to be much more clear than my previous one as well. If you aren't too picky and want a good gaming monitor this one is worth a try. Make sure to let it break in before you judge it though. And on amazon, if you decide you don't like it you can just send it right back!Pros:+ immediate response time+ no noticeable input lag+ physical buttons (i hate touch buttons)+ extremely crisp and clear image+ includes needed cablesCons:- terrible before break in- whiteness or fogginess around edges- washed out dark colorsAll in all its a good monitor for a few specific uses, and for a reasonable price.

Excelente monitor, robusto, con gran calidad de imagen, cuenta con una relación costo/beneficio excelente.El acabado de los materiales es de calidad, fácil de ensamblar y ya incluye sus cables de alimentación y DVILos colores que da son geniales, excelente si eres gamer ocasional y no tienes un presupuesto muy alto,Recomendado agarrarlo en oferta, lo compré en 2100 MXN incluyendo costos de importación desde EUA

I got this to go with my other monitor that's exactly the same and it's amazing for the price. You have different viewing settings so you can switch if you're playing a game to Game Mode or if you're watching a movie to Theatre Mode etc. I do believe it's a 60hz monitor which is one of the question I had when I got it. The only downfall with this monitor though is it is a bit dull but I'm sure I can change that if I go into the settings and mess around with it a bit. Overall if you're looking for a cheap monitor I would get this one if you already have a good pair of speakers.

La qualité de l’écran reste fidèle à la marque ASUS, avec une connectique complète, VGA ,VGI ,HDMI et des réglages personnalisables à souhait.

I use it with my Xbox One, it's a must have for any gamer and a great price as well

I have two of those monitors and use them when working from home. It works great. Display is crisp. Both my monitors are connected to a Dell laptop via USB C to Dual HDMI Adapter (brand: Selore&S-Global). Does not come with HDMI cable though. I purchased two cables separately. One monitor purchased in April 2020 and second one in September 2020. Nothing bad to say so far. I recommend the product.
