Great Budget Monitor..., January 21, 2011
By Travis Keatley (Ann Arbor, Michigan, US)
I received this monitor after my previous monitor was damaged, and I have to say that it exceeded all of my expectations. There is no light leakage on the sides of the screen which is a typical fault of many other LED monitors out there, and the colors are vibrant and accurate. The included HDMI port makes it great for connecting consoles, which I have tried with my XBOX 360 and it works well, but the monitor performs best when used with a computer. When paired with a video card that has an HDMI out, this monitor cannot be beat for the price. As far as the built-in speakers go, avoid them. Just hook up a pair of external budget speakers and the sound will be much better. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Great monitor at a great price, January 8, 2011
By Hayagreeva (CA, USA)
This monitor seems to be under the radar on Amazon, should have received many more reviews. I was looking for an energy efficient LED backlit monitor with built in speakers to reduce clutter and this one had it all. The hutch on my table has a width of 20.5" and it fitted in neatly. It is much lighter than the 17" Sceptre LCD which it replaced and consumes only 30W. Set up was a no brainer, picture is sharp and clear, built in speakers are adequate. Two things to be remembered

1) Response time is 5 ms, not a big deal for me.
2) There are only 5 preset modes for changing picture quality - std, game, night, theater and scenery. No color, sharpness contrast adjusts. You *can* adjust the brightness in each mode. OK with me, I have settled for the game mode.

Amazon cut the price the day I received the unit :--(( But with $10 rebate from Asus can't complain much!

Can't be beat for the price!, January 5, 2011

I was hesitant to buy a monitor online with the risk for damage and dead pixels, but I took a chance on this and boy I'm glad I did. Beautiful 1080p picture, LED, no dead pixels, and no ghosting. Connected easily to my laptop with the included VGA cable and my Xbox 360 looks phenomenal over HDMI. Much better viewing angles than my laptop screen and the headphone jack works for both my laptop and 360 without having to change inputs.

The menu buttons are a bit clunky, but after the initial setup you won't need to deal with this very much. Overall a great monitor that is a steal for only $150.

I really like the clarity of this monitor, November 2, 2010
By william d monk
the monitor seems to work very well but clarity is really great. The only irritating thing is when there is not a connection to keep showing up on the screen as no DVI connection. I think it is plenty big enough plus watching movies is enjoyable on it.
