Customer Ratings & Reviews

The VN247 is truly a fantastic monitor. The colors are sharp and vivid and the 1ms response time ensures great performance. The dual hdmi inputs are extremely helpful for connecting multiple devices. I am currently using two of these monitors together and the narrow bezel makes them great for multi monitor setups.

This review is for the ASUS VN247HP: First of all, the store staff at my local Best Buy is wonderful. I've definitely utilized quite a bit of their time despite being generally knowledgeable about my purchases before going in. One of the manager's asked if I needed assistance, and had no issues getting this monitor price-matched to competitor and out the door in <10min. Product Review: I purchased this monitor on a whim to go with a build for my son as a holiday gift. I was looking at the store displays not really even considering the purchase (until manager offered honor price). Out of all of them, the overall design and picture allowed me to confidently decide on the ASUS VN247. Pros: I rarely judge a monitor on store display looks, and I normally read forums before deciding. This monitor looked decent compared to the others, but what really had me was the super slim bezel. The bezel on this monitor is 1st rate in this price range. However, there will be a very slight border around the screen that can be remedied by adjusting graphics card and/or source hardware/software settings (you may not even notice if you aren't a discerning gamer/editor). Solution is not 100% applicable w/ all hardware/software configurations* I'm not sure the 'actual' response time, but I can assure you that this is fast enough for gaming and high action. The monitor is absolutely gorgeous once calibrated. I also have discovered no dead/stuck pixels which is always a possibility and an unfortunate happening. I/O: 2x HDMI; 1x VGA; 3.5mm Unit comes with hdmi-dvi, 3.5mm, vga cables all nicely packaged!! Cons: Calibration Nation!!!! This monitor needed some serious calibrating out of the box. I'm no stranger to this, but this time it seemed a bit tedious. I've never found a screen that had commendable button placement, but calibration was a slight test in patience. Viewing angle is in line or slightly less than average. At proper viewing distances it shouldn't be an issue w/ single or multi setup (the current variance is barely notable and would not prevent me from a 2nd or 3rd purchase for multi). The cable input/output area is hidden by a hinged, plastic plate. This plate has no holes for cable routing as the bottom is open and cables are expected to run down and back. The plastic feels cheap but isn't used excessively. The area behind the cables is slightly recessed and made connecting the power cord a bit uncomfortable (be sure to make sure it's connected 100%). Other Thoughts: I calibrate every screen I purchase, and often do so many times over the life of each. That being said, don't expect to buy this monitor (or others for that matter) and not calibrate it properly to the best experience for your needs/placement. This monitor has built-in speakers that provide the plastic quality sound you'd expect from dirt cheap desktop speakers or from a laptop. While this isn't enough to knock off points, ASUS certainly could've omitted them and had a lower price. If you've read reviews, you may have seen neg. comments on the stand. Yes, it's quite narrow and easy to wobble. However, I found that it resets to normal very quickly. Even with regular jolts to the desk, it's not very distracting in my use. I will likely purchase another for multi setup. This monitor is vesa mount compatible. Thanks for your time in reading my review! I hope it will assist you in your decision.

I use this as my current monitor, for the price you can not beat the quality Asus provides as well as the 1ms response time. It is great for gaming.

I have been using this ASUS monitor for a couple of month's now. Thin, light, hdmi, and speakers add up to a great product! It's great not having to have a separate pair of speakers. One word of caution, the speakers face upward, away from the monitor, so if you like high fidelity sound on your PC, then you will want another pair of speakers. I mainly use the monitor speakers for YouTube videos and some background music so it's perfect! Very happy with this purchase.

Bought this monitor to replace my old 22" Samsung monitor. Wanted to go smaller but ended up with this one since the one millisecond response time and two HDMI ports. The bezel on this monitor is so small it still dwarfs that of the older samsung. The quality is great and gaming on the thing is marvelous.

I have had monitors from several other top names but decided to go with the ASUS because I have one of their touchascreen laptops has been absolutely bulletproof for a couple of years and heavy use as a business computer. Other monitors from Sony, Gateway, and HP were not even close in color, clarity, and especially price compared to this one. I would recommend it to anyone. An A+++ monitor!

I've only plugged in the monitor once and man oh man was it great. the picture was super clear, and did not shake or wobble when moving it around. It's pretty light and come with ample connections. The one millisecond response it greatly noticeable and wouldn't give it up for anything. This monitor is a steal for the price it is and will definitely get a second one.

I never like to buy monitor's online since I don't know what exactly I am getting. So I bought this at a brick and mortar store. The color is great, and the response time is awesome. This was an upgrade from my 1366x768 and I am glad I spent the money on it. It's been almost a year and I leav it on 24/7 and no problems have arose yet, no dead pixels either.

I love this monitor, I have 2 of them and they look amazing on my desktop. They picture is great, and the 1ms GTG response time is awesome for gaming. Just make sure you have desktop speakers. The built in speakers are not good at all, and the audio out jack has a constant buzz when using. So if you have speakers coming directly from your computer, This is worth the purchase.

Bought this as a secondary monitor to use with surface pro 3. The surface pro has higher resolutions than this monitor can achieve, but as a secondary monitor, this is perfect! Great color, fast response time, low energy use. Very happy

Purchased this monitor primarily from console gaming due to the low response time as well as the size and picture quality. After seeing noticeable gaming difference I soon started using it from my PC as well as console use.

picture quality is great.; the image is sharper and brighter than my laptop screen. On the negative side the bolt to assemble the stand was partially defective.

i will start by saying the picture is amazing for such an amazing price i ended up returning these for bigger monitors but when i hooked them up the colors as well as the brightness were both on point

If you are looking for an amazing display that is reasonably priced for your desktop you cannot go wrong! I was looking at another display and called my local store to see if it was in stock. They transferred me to an associate in that department who noted that I could get that one online. I asked if another store would have it, and he asked what exactly I needed in a display. I let him know and he not only recommended this ASUS display, he said it was even on sale!!! It has been a couple of months and I could not be more satisfied.

This is a great display. Picture quality is amazing, and the dual hdmi ports really come in handy. The only negative is no dvi port.

Great monitor! Clear picture for Netflix and great for gaming on the Xbox One, which is the real reason for this purchase.

This monitor is excellent for gaming with PC or even console. Has great color and adjustments along with fast response time. Making quick scenes look very smooth.

I bought this monitor (again) due to it having 2 HDMI ports as well as 1ms time. Colors are great (once calibrated). Only downside is the stand. The stand is flimsy (AND I MEAN FLIMSY)! If you have a desk the rocks (even a little bit), I would go to the store and take a look. If you're wall mounting or putting it in an arm, you're good. Other than that I love it (and plan on buying my 3rd before Xmas). Make sure you get BB to PM (because the prices on this particular monitor fluctuate to crazy numbers every few weeks online. Must be a supply and demand issue).

The response, size and contrast are excellent for the price. This model replaced our CRT that had excellent response and it is very hard to tell the difference.

Love this monitor..great for smaller spaces, very thin and great colors for the price plus has flexibility of multiple hdmi and dvi
