Pros: Picture is fine
No Dead Pixels!

Cons: Speakers work ok but quality is nothing great and not very loud.
Not 1080p - not that this is a supprise but still a con

Other Thoughts: I'm a big ASUS fan and while this product is ok it is ONLY "ok".
Nothing special, but nothing worng with it either.
I feel like it should be cheaper though. ($89-119 range)

Manufacturer Response:

Dear techit88,

The built-in speakers for this monitor should provide you a decent sound quality, but if you require more sound, then getting hi-fi or desktop external speakers would be the better choice or a monitor that has 3-watts per speaker. For further assistance or if you’d like to discuss this topic, please contact me at cl-celeste@asus.com and use this ref#1072-10472 in the subject line.

Pros: Worked great for a cheap monitor to get with my gaming PC. Have had it for over two years now and it is still going strong though it has been reduced to a secondary monitor since I upgraded to a 1080p ASUS. Def a recommended buy if your not going for HD.

Cons: None.

Pros: Great Monitor does exactly what i wanted to do with it

Cons: Needed to fiddle with the RBG balance for a while but it eventually worked

Pros: The screen is very crisp. Images and colors look very nice. Very easy on the eyes!

Cons: Height adjustment is not there. Oh well.

Other Thoughts: For the price, the monitor looks great. Very easy to get set-up and programmed.

Pros: I've had this monitor for 6-7 months now, and I've had no problems.

Cons: It's a little small for me, I'm used to 23 inches and an HDTV. However, this is great for work.

Pros: great brand

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: for a 20 in should be like $100 but its Asus and you know its going to be reliable.

Pros: Slim and great For Gaming. Great Color And Res.

Cons: Went up in price over a few months. got this last winter.
bought at a GOOD Price of 100$ thats cheaper then a knock off acer. thos are NOT GOOD.

Pros: Clear crisp display. Fast - no ghosts. All the necessary cables are included. Once set up, its a decent monitor.

Cons: Internal speaker amp has low gain. The speakers are tinny. The execution of "built in audio" is substandard. Instructions? Next to nothing. You're more or less on your own once you power it up. The first hour of use was quite frustrating.

Other Thoughts: It is a decent monitor. Don't put your external speakers away. Assume the built in speakers and "1 watt audio amp" are non existent should you be comparison shopping. The audio quality is about equal to a standard Bell telephone or worse. I didn't expect much, but what I got was even less.

Pros: Size and price make this a great buy!

Cons: Audio level LACKING, overall the volume controls on the monitor are not well thought out. The sound will not fill a room (sadly) but would be ok for any cubical.
