ASUS VW246H 24-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black

I just purchased this monitor--moving from an older IBM 21 inch CRT monitor and WOW what a difference! Just reclaimed what seemed like 4 square feet of desk space and not to mention the power bill also improved by probably $50 a month! Honestly though--great picture out of the box. Maybe a bit too vivid if I was being picky but I believe most people will love the picture it produces without any adjustments. I decided to breakout my calibration disk that I used on my HDTV so I set the resolution to 1920 x 1080 and then tweaked the contrast, brightness, etc and once done it was fantastic! Blacks are very good for an LCD--but do not expect plasma levels. Very quick refresh rate--I was a bit worried that when I play games that I would see ghosting--Nope. None. When playing HD video on ITunes, it looked very good. I highly recommend the monitor to anyone. The price/value ratio is the best I could find.

This is an AMAZING monitor. I consider myself a techie and I spent nearly a month searching for the best lcd monitor that wouldn't break the bank. This is by far one of the best purchases I've made in my life. If you are still looking around debating between monitors, please don't waste anymore time. Get this one. I did the research, read and watched tons of reviews on tons of monitors and this one has exceeded my expectations, which were very high. It's 2 ms response time is great and there is absolutely no ghosting (I've ran tests on it). The contrast is superb, although the blacks could be a little deeper at times, but still, they are great and I am very, very particular about good black levels. The monitor is extremely clear and it truly shines at 1080p. I've played multiple games on my ps3 through the hdmi port on this monitor and I can surely say that this is the best I've ever seen my games look, even when I compare to other lcd tv's I've connected it. This monitor is so clear...Read more

After using a 20 inch imac for over 3 years it was time to upgrade. The screen on the 20 inch had become unevenly lit, and had seen it's better days. I decided to upgrade to the new 24 inch imac decked out. After returning 3 yes 3 of them due to screen issues it was time to move on. I got a refund, and decided to purchase a mac pro so I could have control of the screen. I decided this monitor was the best for the money at the time. The first one I got had an obvious stuck pixel. It was green, and just about in the middle of the screen. Anymore I'm used to taking things back as now consumers are the quality control. A couple of button presses later I had another one on the way. I must say for an online retailer amazon has unbelievable customer service. The bad one was picked up at the same time the new one was delivered so I had no down time without a monitor. Thats very important when you just got a new computer that your dieing to get all set up!!! I never even had to talk to one...Read more
