 “Very functional monitor” 2010-05-02
By Timothy Phan (Portland, OR)
It’s a great monitor, beautiful, big, and gorgeous.

Here are some features that I found in this monitor that simply make it amazing:

- 3 Inputs: VGA, DVI, and HDMI.

- Decent Speakers with a 3.5mm audio input.

- VGA, DVI, and Audio cables are included. No HDMI, but that’s like $5 if you purchase online.

- Audio output through a 3.5mm jack! This makes it great for plugging in headphones. The audio is also adjusted through the monitor.

- Volume adjustment requires pressing 1 button, and then pressing Up/Down. You do not need to access the main menu.

- Instantly switch between different preset gamma/brightness settings for your certain activity. Such as theater and game mode.

- Turns on pretty fast too.

Here are some of the things that I do not like so much about it:

- Unadjustable. No rotating, no swiveling, and no tilting. It’s pretty static.

Currently, I have it setup with my Macbook on DVI and Audio and Xbox through HDMI. It switches to the HDMI’s audio whenever I’m playing on the Xbox, so there’s no confusion over the audio. What’s even better is having my headset connected to the monitor and switching between my computer and my xbox with no problem.

– IMPORTANT FOR MAC USERS –

Font smoothing may not be automatically setup and the option to manual set it is removed in Snow Leopard. Follow the instructions on this link: [...] and restart any currently running programs including Finder. Hopefully, you’ll notice some huge improvements in the smoothness of the text.

 “Very good, but has the limitations of a traditional LCD monitor” 2010-04-29
By Solomon D.
Black-level, motion blur, color accuracy, and overall picture are very good for an LCD monitor with a TN panel. In fact, they may approach the best that can be achieved with traditional LCD technology. For less than $200, this monitor is a great value.

Unfortunately, traditional LCD technology isn’t good enough. Blacks are still greyish, and motion blue is still a problem. Dynamic Contrast (which this monitor has, at least if you turn the option on in the menu) may help a little, but from what I can tell is somewhat of a sham. For realistic blacks and crystal clear motion, plasma and certain LED TVs (both of which can be used as monitors, albeit very large ones) appear to be the only options. To my knowledge, new LED monitors still suffer from motion blur, as they are “edge-lit” and don’t have numerous individual LED lights behind the display that can be turned on and off quickly (eliminating motion blur), as do a few LED TVs.

 “Great Product” 2010-04-22
By Eric Oliver
I actually bought this monitor to use with my xbox 360. Figured I would get more use of it in my time not gaming as a pc monitor than I would have gotten out of a TV. I must say this product is great. Haven’t had any issues and I’ve found all of it’s features extremely easy to use. Does great as both a monitor for my pc and a monitor hooked up to my 360. Worth the buy

 “Compatibility Issues With ATI Cards” 2010-04-21
By Adam J. Russo (Haddam, CT)
Was wondering why my 1080p monitor kept on defaulting to a much lower resolution, then I called ASUS. Now, the trouble with finger pointing is that you really never know who is telling the truth, but what I did find out is that this monitor has issues with ATI video cards and is really designed for NVIDIA ones. Now if it’s ASUS or ATI that dropped the ball here is irrelavent, but if you have an Sapphire 4830 ATI card like I have, your going to run into this problem. To fix this problem, I was told to disable the scaling feature inside catalyst control center (the program that runs your video card). Unfortunately, I have the latest version that no longer allows you to override this function. BUT!!! If you go into your overscan feature inside CC, you may set it to “0″ and maintain your 1080p resolution. It’s a shame with the amount of money I paid for this monitor that ASUS/Sapphire doesn’t have a driver patch for this. Tsk Tsk….. : (

Pros:

Resolution

Low Price

No Visible Dead Pixels

Refresh Rate

Cons:

Programing glitch that takes some time to tweak

Final Thoughts:

This issue is easily fixed by a well endowed consumer in the tech realm. If you have limited knowledge about how monitors/video cards work, this might be just a tad out of your league.

 “Stable, Solid, Beautiful” 2010-04-12

Pros:

Arrived undamaged in timely fashion. Asus packaged their monitors well. No dead/stuck pixels out of the box on either that I can tell to date. Outer Amazon box had the customary brown TLC. I ordered two of these with another item and they were all shipped in a single large box so they were double-boxed for me.

The monitors themselves, I’ve had them for two months now and I love them. I was wowed out of the box but wanted to be at least a little patient in reviewing. Picture is rich, crisp and vibrant. I haven’t even changed the settings, haven’t had a need to. Using the default factory preset still and the picture is great. I viewed the other settings and went with the default. No problem running Bioshock2 at 1920×1080. Previous build uses 2 19″ Samsung that are 4×3 with 1280×1024 max which look great but these are beautiful. I give this monitor 5 stars.

Considerations: None of these were really a problem for me but some things you may want to consider.

The vertical viewing angle. Also, they sit low. I had to put mine on stands to raise them up a few inches. I knew there was no height adjustment going in but was not aware of how low they sit. Getting out my tape and visualizing isn’t the same. I found some aluminum 9″ round straight-sided cake pans at a local box store and inverted them to raise the monitors 3″ for me. I am 5’10″, desk is 30″ tall. They are a perfect fit, people think they came with the monitors. They are strong enough for me to stand on. I painted mine black to match the monitor bezel. I will be buying third one when the GPU dust settles on both sides of the fence and the cost goes down on a card that will support three monitors. This is a new build and I moved the 9800GTX+ from the old box over to this one and it still works just fine. Anything larger than the 23.6″ in size would require me to rethink my physical desktop space which is currently 65.5″ wide when I get the third monitor.
