WOW! What a Monitor

ASUS VW246H Glossy Black 24" HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 ASCR 20000:1 (1000:1) Built-in Speakers
ASUS VW246H Glossy Black 24" HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 ASCR 20000:1 (1000:1) Built-in Speakers

Pros: I purchased this from Neweggs about a week ago and as usual it got to my house 1 day after I ordered it. I have to say this is one of the nicest monitors I have owned. The crisp, brighht, picture is great. I had a 22" Viewsonic prior to this one; but never was the image as good on that monitor as this one. I have always had a good respect for Asus for motherboards, and video cards. Now I can add monitors to the list. Only minor problem, as stated before by others, is the unstable base. It shouldn't be a issue but it is rather cheaply made. However, I can also happly say NO stuck or dead pixels either. Yay!

Cons: Flimsy monitor stand.

Overall Review: So, great job Asus and Neweggs. Once again you both have proven you supply a great service/product to the consumer. If your in a market for a new monitor or just want to upgrade don't hesitate this Asus monitor.

Pros: PCI-Expess 2.0

Cons: I installed this on my new PC to get the most of Rapid Storage but it failed to be recognized. I tried 2 different SSD cards and still it wasn't recognized by Rapid Storage as a cache drive. Don't waste your money on this product.

Might work but not in my PC!

Pros: I was setting up a new pc and since it had an Intel 2700K processer I wanted to setup Rapid Response Technology to get the most out of the new chip. I purchased a Chineses Express card that would allow me to add a 40 gb card and hopefully give me the response technology I wanted. Low behold my first SSD did not get recognized by Windows Rapid Response software. So i thought it might have been the SSD I used so I then bought thhis INTEL SSD card. It didn't work either. So I ended up purchasing the ANTEC 60 GB SSD Drive and it worked. So i just took 1 egg off for my incompatiblity with the board more then the SSD card.

Pros: Installed 16 GB of DDR3 Corsair Vengence RAM into my new pc and could not be happier. Plenty of RAM to take care o current as well as future applications and helps my PC to scream in all apps whether its gaming, web browsing or applications. Buy these you will not regret it.

BOSE Rocks!

Pros: I got this last week to replace my aging but still very nice sounding Companion 5 series. I set them up and was blown away by the great 2 channel sound. The high and mid sound rocks and the base was tight and not as throbbing as the companion 5; which has a nice base component. After listening to them for a few days and a lot of varying genre's of music and videos I packed my Companion 5's up and am now a happy listener to Bose's latest offering.

Cons: None to say of!

Overall Review: Only other thing is you get what you pay for! Bose Rocks!

Great Monitor @ a Great Price!!

Pros: This monitor is fantastic! It arrived guickly (Thanks to NewEggs free 1 day shipping) and arrived in greaat shape. This monitor is huge and will replace my almost new Sony 17" LCD. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. There is absolutely no missing or broken pixels and no bleeding. Just pure beauty!

Cons: None.. only praise!

Overall Review: On peoples comments on problems with audio causing rating reductions. GIVE ME A BREAK! Why did you buy this for viewing or listening. If you looking for a great monitor then hush about the audio. If you looking to improve your current sound system. Forget it.. this is not what this monitor audio is for. Go buy a good set of 2.1 or 5.1 speakers and live happily ever after.
