Good midrange monitors
5/7/2013 7:24:53 AMJordan from Calgary AB writes:
- Strengths:
- Great screen and color Lots of options in pop up menu Fit and finish is perfect Bleed is very minimal Tons of connection options
- Weaknesses:
- Speakers leave something to be desired Had issues with dead/stuck pixels, had to take 2 back right away. The memory express salesman tested 4 more screens with me and out of the six we found 2 with no dead/stuck pixels.
- Summary:
- Bought 3 of these monitors for a triple display setup through a matrox triplehead2go connected to my m18x Gaming and working in windows is amazing with 4 displays
Fantastic monitor

- Strengths:
- - Size is great - Using DVI for my PC and HDMI for my PS3 - After a recent scare with a different store and a different monitor brand, I was worried about faulty pixels out of the box. None here! - Full 1080p
- Weaknesses:
- - Sound from the built-in speakers. However, it's better than most other built-in speakers I've heard. Further to that, these speaker should not be your solution for sound anyway. It would be more for those that don't care about surround sound, etc., and just want to hear content on their computer without taking up too much desk/table space. - I haven't found it yet, if it even exists, but I have different settings for HDMI and DVI. It would be nice to save them so I don't have to change it.
- Summary:
- The weaknesses aren't enough to knock this monitor. I was looking for a very specific monitor that I would be able to connect multiple devices to, but wouldn't compromise the viewing experience of using either device. This monitor was the solution.
Solid buy for the price

- Strengths:
- - fast response time with minimal overshoot (at 40%) - acceptable colour reproduction - PiP - adequate connections - great viewing angles
- Weaknesses:
- - excessive amount of light bleed at the bottom of the display, moderate amounts on the edges (I work with pro grade IPS monitors at work, so I really notice this) - speakers are horrible - built in colour profiles are bad (RGB isn't near calibrated) automatic brightness adjustment is slow and distracting (turn it off)
- Summary:
- A solid purchase if you can get it on sale. If you're serious about colour reproduction or backlight bleedthrough, you will want to look elsewhere. I'm very satisfied for this on my gaming rig.
Snappy Monitor with Bold Undertones!

- Strengths:
- - Asus 'quality' brand name. - Thinner then previous generation Asus LCD monitors. - Very low power consumption and virtually NO heat produced by this thing! - Capability of being very bright or "just right". - 2ms refresh rate. - Excellent graphics. - Fantastic menu options!
- Weaknesses:
- - A little bit of light bleeding (just a tiny amount) - Not inexpensive! - Headphone jack is impossible to work with (well hidden) - Built-in speakers are lacking. Tinny sounding!
- Summary:
- I purchased this monitor strictly for gaming using my PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360 w/ HDMI out. The 2ms response time is insane!! While gaming it really impresses. Fast redraw. You can't even tell the difference anymore between old CRT tubes, Plasma TV' and new monitors like this. I have owned nothing but Samsung LCD's in the past. While they are great, you really do pay extra for the "fancy name" price. Asus is fantastic! Try this monitor out. If you don't like it, return it. Simple.
GREAT BUY!

Best price for size/preformance

- Strengths:
- Cost
Colors/Display
Button layout/Power LED
Picture-in-Picture feature - Weaknesses:
- Speakers are not great quality
The stand could be a little more firm
Bezel is a fingerprint magnet - Summary:
- Great cost for quality. Couldn't be happier with 2 of them. Colors need adjustment out of box and brightness - Having never owned an LED lcd I was amazed by the colors! Blows ANY LCD i've ever owned out of the water. Gaming/Movies/Etc look FANTASTIC! Huge display.
