fineFebruary 17, 2010 Ralph E. Mellor(PLAINFIELD, CT, US) For the price and features you get you can not beat the deal,but then all my mother boards are asus.
Gray Flickering ScreenFebruary 15, 2010 Computer Guy I bought two of these monitors for a video editing machine. One died yesterday, giving me only a gray flickering screen. I checked the monitor with HDMI cable and on two other computers. The problem is with the monitor. I have had them less than 5 months and one is dead. I see many other reviews that mention bad custopmer service from Asus, a cost to return it and incomplete or poorly vetted repairs when they were sent back to Asus. I haven't the time or money to waste sending one back to Asus. I wish Amazon had a concierge or extended warranty service. Amazon is easy to deal with, most of the companies whose products they carry are not any good at customer service. Spend your money on a Samsung or Dell monitor. I'll be buying new monitors at a store that handles the returns for me, should something go wrong.
Beautiful monitor especially for the priceFebruary 11, 2010 mastahc(usa) I bought this monitor at the beginning of September '09 for $200 from tigerdirect. It is now Feb '10 and it's still working perfectly. the image quality is vibrant and dynamic and the speakers on it aren't half bad! sound is not great but probably the best built in speakers i've heard on any monitors from this size range. As a laptop monitor and for gaming with my ps3 it is definitely worth every cent. The buttons are a little awkward to push and do seem a little flimsy, but you really only need to push the power button and the input button for switching between devices. The other thing is that all of the inputs are in the back which can be a pain sometimes. I wish they had at least put the hdmi slot on the side and the headphone jack in the front for easier access. I would highly recommend this monitor.
ASUS VH242H monitorFebruary 7, 2010 M. MCINTOSH(Lawton, OK) I was a little skeptical at first as I haven't heard of ASUS before but I bought it to upgrade a Dell 20-inch monitor and I'm pleasently surprised and happy with the unit. I've had it for about a month now and have experienced no problems at all, no dead pixels I can find. At $200 it sure beats the others price-wise.
It does seem a little brighter than my Dell and experimenting with brightness, contrast etc. from factory was needed to suit me but that's to be expected. I have not tried any input except the DVI but I didn't buy it to watch DVDs so HDMI wasn't a deciding factor for me, I have a 47-inch Visio TV for that.
Amazon shipped quickly as usual and I'm very happy with the monitor.
Great value 24" LCDFebruary 7, 2010 Don K(Northern California) I bought a pair of these and am very happy. Both look great and no dead pixels in either display. For under $200 each you can't beat these ASUS monitors.
