Most Critical Review

Good, but bad experience

ASUS 23" LCD Monitor 1ms (GTG) 2 x HDMI, D-Sub, DVI-D (Via HDMI) VX238H-W
ASUS 23" LCD Monitor 1ms (GTG) 2 x HDMI, D-Sub, DVI-D (Via HDMI) VX238H-W

Pros: Screen looks excellent, good adjustability settings, very unique design. Good selection of cords that it comes with, I very much appreciated the VGA to HDMI cord.

Cons: I had to go through not one but TWO RMAs to get one in decent shape. The first had a dead pixel, which I did read others had issues with. The second the screen frame was bent out like someone had pried it off. No problems getting the RMA but are they shipping out refurbished instead of new ones? My last one had a big dent in the box, a cord bag that was already open (though it was present), and the screen had some dirt and fingerprints on it. Another small con is that the stand has to be "Popped" out of its sitting through VERY strong use of force initially. Strong enough I thought I would break it, but I didn't. Only my first one was like that, the other two the stand moved very easily.

Relatively cheap parts

Pros: Works well, out of the box HDMI is nice and USB 3.0 support for the price

Cons: Not a lot of fan ports, no older-connection support, and the faceplate seems really cheap. It was my first time installing a motherboard, but I had a rather hard time getting the faceplate to properly fit, and it bent and warped rather easily.
