ASUS VX238H Black 23" 1ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 80,000,000:1 Built-in Speakers

Pros: Very clean picture, the menu is really easy to operate however it's kinda hard to see when you are in the dark. Really smooth the pictures is pretty good.

Cons: The stand doesn't seem secure and there are only a couple positions you can put it in. The speakers suck; however, i use my own speakers. I think the built in speakers died, but I would recommend only using the speakers when your regular speakers break. also sometimes if you look closely it isn't smooth.

Other Thoughts: If you are looking for a decent monitor that is big and you aren't really concerned about sound, i would get it

Pros: Great looking, no issue when playing Skyrim, BF3, Borderlands, COD, Dirt Showdown. The 1ms response time make a big difference over the View Sonic that I had been using.

Cons: Had a issue with scaling to fill the whole screen. It was set at a 20 inch by default. I thought it was due to switching to HDMI cable is which is why I bought it. I had to update my driver to the latest and then do a manual override. I still have about 1/8 inch all the way around. So it gets one Egg off.

Other Thoughts: System

Win 8

XFX 6950
32 GB Samsung 1600

Raidmax RX-1200AE

Pros: This monitor is Awesome!!!! I upgraded from 17 inch and when i turned it on my eyes exploded! Great Job ASUS!

Cons: No cone reall just that when i try to tilt it i fell like im about to break it but i guess thats judt all in my mind

Pros: 1ms response time (suppose to be very good for gaming but I havent noticed a big difference from my old 5ms tv.)

Cons: text is blurry can't figure out why

Manufacturer Response:

Dear amasys,

There are many reasons why the text is blurry. Please try this solution: If you are running Windows 7, please go to Display Settings of your computer by right-clicking the desktop and selecting Screen Resolution. Under Resolution, set the slider to highest resolution (recommended), hit Apply to save the changes you’ve made. Still on the same window, go to “Make text and other items larger or smaller” option. Select Adjust ClearType text, check the box Turn on ClearType and Next. If you have more than one monitor connected to your computer, choose either: “Yes, I want to tune all monitors now” or “No, only tune the monitor that I select”, hit Next. Follow the on-screen instructions and it will ask you to select which text sample that looks best to you (3 times). Hit the back button (arrow pointing to the left). Click OK to close the window. If you have any more questions, comments or concerns, please contact me at cl-celeste@asus.com and include ref#1072-11014 in the subject line.

Pros: Price, speed

Cons: Tried using as my primary monitor, but ran into an intermiitant issue where the monitor remains blank when system comes out of a suspend or power save mode. My old monitor works just fine. Loaded latest Nvidia drivers, no change. Maybe Asus has some ideas, otherwise it's going back.

Other Thoughts: Vista Ultimate 64. Intel motherboard. Geforce GTX 260. System has been rock solid for years.

Pros: Great Picture, Great Speed, Great Specs!

Cons: Non That I can think of.

Other Thoughts: I REALLY REALLY REALLY RECOMMEND THIS MONITOR!!

Pros: Wow, I mean, WOW! I love this monitor. I could not wait to get it. I'm using it for a dual monitor setup with my Asus ML238 and the contrast is amazing. Gaming with the 1ms response time is excellent. If I had the money I would have gotten two.

Cons: None

Pros: 80,000,000:1 Contrast Ratio
1ms Response time
Very sturdy and sexy looking
Movies and Games look crisp

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Just needs a few tweaks. That's it

Pros: Average display

Cons: Pixel issues
Bezel separated from screen

Other Thoughts: I purchased this display a little under a month ago and when I opened it I realized that the screen bezel was separated in the bottom left corner and when I was playing games and watching movies I noticed a bunch of red and blue pixels when the scene was low light. Needless to say I RMA'ed it and had to pay 16 bucks of shipping to send it back..
