ASUS MS246H Ultra-Slim 23.6-Inch Wide LCD Monitor -Black/White

First many thanks to Amazon & [...] was expecting about 3 to 5 days free shipping.. arrived next day!!

As for the monitor, truly amazing. Set up was less than a minute, worked as soon I plugged it into my Dell Hybrid with no adjustments necessary.
The ring stand is not only aesthetically pleasing but works great. I have a very skinny desk and not only does the screen fit but so does my keyboard, whereas my previous 15" laptop didn't quite fit!
The angle is perfect for viewing, again no adjustment needed. Why buy Mac or any other monitor for that matter.. this thing is absolutely gorgeous and for only $200 and change.. you couldn't ask for more.. unbelievable quality and deal. This is my very first ASUS product purchase, will be buying from this manufacturer in the future.

Pros

* It's got a unique, very slick look two-toned look.
* Very thin.
* The screen quality is more than respectable for the price.
* The headphone/speaker jack that pipes out sound when using an HDMI connection is a nice touch.

Cons

* Labels for the menu buttons don't light up until the button is touched.
* Shiny black finish that's used for the front of the monitor scratches extremely easily.

?

* The "ring stand" that is used to keep the monitor propped up works well, but some may not like its look.
* Touch sensitive buttons could be a turn off to some.


Keeping with ASUS tradition this monitor is priced low, and works well. The look of it is striking when you first see it -- it almost resembles an all-in-one PC. Unlike most monitors, there is no long stand, just a "ring" of sorts that keeps the monitor at a slight angle for proper viewing. The monitor itself...Read more

My office bought me a pair of these monitors a couple of months ago:

PROS
-I'm sure they were cheap

CONS
-Screen will sometimes (usually) display random "block butterflies" (as I call them)... essentially random color lines of alternating pixel blocks 2 tall and 10 wide (1/16" x 1/4") and those will be in groups of 16 or so and scattered across the screen. As bad as that sounds, they are non-obtrusive and do not greatly deter me from working. I think they would be terrible if you were presenting to someone or using it for media.
-They come with a rather goofy stand... it is just a "circle" that keeps the monitor from falling backwards (the monitor resting its bottom directly on the desk), and thus almost without any adjustment of height or angle.
-The screen adjustment "buttons" are touch-activated and although "attractive" do not function well in my opinion.

Overall, they work, I would reserve their use as purely...Read more
