    I was happy to find a monitor this size for such an impressively low price. Overall it has been a good monitor, but 4 months after purchase one of the pixels went out leaving me with a black spot on the left side of my screen(see picture). Since then no others have gone out, and the screen has decent color, but a blacked out pixel is pretty annoying to stare at while working.

    Since the widescreen was introduced many years ago it has become the monitor of choice by business and individuals. I like it because you can adjust it easily to view large amounts of data. The switches on the other hand are not easy for the average person to use. They are on the bottom of the screen and because the symbols are the same color as the frame they are difficult to see, at least for members of the older crowd like me. The "switch" issue is across the board for all manufacturers so don't let this stop you from considering ASUS as a replacement monitor. Color is great, however, the software you use, such as Microsoft Office, can influence color performance. Again across the board for all manufacturers. Overall this is a very good unit and I recommend it to anyone in need of a replacement monitor.

    I have nothing to say but good things about this monitor. I bought it back in January 2013 and I love it. Works great. I used to have the oldest monitor ever for the longest time and this to me is amazing. The widescreen is great! This monitor is extremely thin and very light weight. I would definitely recommend this to someone. I'm thinking about buying a second. I have two monitors for work (not this monitor) and when I work from home sometimes, it's a pain to do with one. I got spoiled with two, haha. And now it's even cheaper than it was back in January! I wouldn't think twice about this monitor! :)

    Replaced my 17 inch square monitor with this one. Huge difference. Colors are true. Size is just right for me. I did have speakers already as this monitor does not have speakers.

    I received my Asus monitor and it works perfectly. I already own one so I knew how well it would perform. I was thrilled when I saw that it was on clearance so I bought a second one at a great price to go with dual monitors. Makes multitasking so much easier without having to constantly switch back and forth between windows on one monitor.

    Was able to set it up in minimal time, and the picture quality is great. Using it with the Asus tower with the updated Windows 8.1 for gaming and business apps is good. Perfect size for desk top use.

    2nd monitor for my laptop. Laptop only had HDMI inputs for the monitor, found this monitor with the input and great picture quality. I have other ASUS monitors and find them to be a great picture at a very reasonable price.

    It's an excellent monitor. I purchased it a while ago and I haven't had any issues. The quality is great, as is the color. The 60Hz refresh rate is adequate for what I do, and I would recommend this to anyone.

    Very nice monitor--very good price. Completely satisfied. Tried several others and very much like this one. Adjustments face the front (not underneath) for ease--which is much better than those with dials one needs to feel for under the monitor rim. Just a nice monitor for general use and for the price.

    My new Asus M51BC-B08 computer came bundled with this Asus VS 228H-P monitor. I'm using the DVI connection, although it also has HDMI and VGA inputs. The 1920 X 1080 screen has a non-reflective surface, thankfully, and I find it superb for photography work. And of course if it is good for that, it will be good for about anything. I have just one real gripe about this monitor, and that is, for me at least, the controls are not intuitive, and therefore, I found it difficult to adjust. In the first place, the controls are six buttons on the bottom edge of the monitor--you can't see them from the working position. Second, the tiny control identifier markings on the front edge of the black monitor frame are in a dark gray color, and cannot be seen in normal lighting. A simple task like adjusting brightness becomes a major pain of going through a menu system, and pushing a number of buttons that you can neither see nor identify easily. Asus can do better, and should, because this is otherwise an excellent monitor. But after all is said and done, once you get it set the way you want it, it's great. I should mention that there are lots of preset modes requiring only one or two buttons that will probably satisfy most users. Another mini gripe is that I had a hard time finding an English manual. The one listed on the Asus website for download was in a format that the computer couldn't digest. But I eventually found one at another site. In summary, this is a fine monitor, and I have enjoyed using it except for the control system, which honestly is not used that often anyway.

    This monitor has HDMI at 1920x1080p. Stunning video quality. I wanted a 1080p/HDMI monitor that was not too big, and this fit the bill perfectly. And it was a great price, as well.

    This review is for the 21.5" ASUS monitor. The picture looks great. Color is accurate and glare isn't an issue at all. Well worth the money.
