Question 1

Does the monitor have a gloss or matte display?

Accepted Answer

It has a very nice matte display.  Additionally I highly recommend this monitor.  The image quality is excellent as is the viewing angle.

Question 2

Are the HDMI cables x2  included, it is listed in contents but not shown with the cables picture?

Accepted Answer

I don't recall getting HDMI cables for this monitor. You'd be sage buying a cheap one.
Side note:
Brightness on this model kinda sucks though. And I wouldn't suggest it go a multi monitor setup.

Question 3

Did you notice any dead pixels after using it for some months?

Accepted Answer

No, I've owned this for a whole year and it is still functioning well. The only downside was, the first monitor stopped working, but they sent in a new one in a week.

Question 4

Does the monitor have a 3.5mm jack *output* through which I would be able to listen to the sound that's coming into the monitor from, say, HDMI, in my headphones?

Thank you

Accepted Answer

Yes, it does, and that is one of the reasons I bought the monitor.  I use a XBOX 360 on one input and a PC on the other.  The audio of the current selected input is piped through the 3.5mm audio-out jack.

Question 5

I'm completely new to 1080p gaming, so plz tell me - will this monitor is the best choice for me?   (for a  budget-conscious PC)

Accepted Answer

If you want to have an AH-IPS panel, then just buy the monitor because personally I'm using this screen for gaming too. But if you want something with faster response time, cause 5ms is the minimum requirement for playing game, there are a lot of choices for FULL HD and faster response time with the same price out there!

Question 6

Does the monitor have a slot for CD/DVD ?

Accepted Answer

No this is a monitor has SVGA and DVI monitor inputs for viewing your PC or other device. There is not a built in  DVD or CD player on this monitor.

Question 7

Anyone else have trouble screwing the base in?  I can't get the screw to stay secure no matter what I try.

Accepted Answer

I didn't have any problems at all with screwing in the base. I'm sure you already have, but make sure you line the hole in the bottom of the base with the hole that is in the bottom of the monitor. Look at the screw too and see if there's anything inside the threading of the screw or a chip at the end of the screw as well; that might help. Hopefully that helps a little bit! Good luck on your endeavor!~

Question 8

Is it compatible with a mac pro?

Accepted Answer

Don't know.  Don't use Mac computers.  Sorry.

Question 9

is ASUS VX229H 21.5inch Full HD AH-IPS LED Monitor A GAMING MONITOR?\

Accepted Answer

as IPS is quite good 5MS i play with it and i have no problem... if you use single screen it may feel a little bit small i use 2 that's why i went with only 21.5"

if you want to use just 1 screen i would look for something slightly bigger 23" or 25"

but overall i feel it's a decent game monitor for the price

Question 10

Anyone know if there are problems using this monitor with Windows Vista (64-bit)?

Accepted Answer

The ASUS VX229H will accept VGA inputs through a standard D-sub cable.  This is the same as older tube type monitors.  However, resolution is limited to VGA or SVGA standards (640x480 or similar).  To get true HD, you need a computer and operating system that provides HD output through an HDMI cable.
Connections for both D-sub VGA and (2) HDMI inputs are provided on the back of the monitor.
