It has a touch screen and Full HD resolution ; Integrated speakers can fill up a room ; Looks absolutely gorgeous ; Wireless mouse and keyboard

Weak integrated graphics ; No much storage space ; Dual-core processor doesn't pack a performance punch ; Why no Blu-ray drive

We weren't blown away by the benchmark numbers the ET2410IUTS-B019C turned out, nor did we expect to be when we glanced the spec sheet. There's just 4GB of RAM, a mechanical hard drive, and a lower end Core i3 2100 processor that Asus tasked with both...

Aesthetically pleasing, 2ms response time, HDMI port, good performance for movies and games

Stand isn't very sturdy, can't be wall mounted, touch-sensitive controls can cause frustration, no DVI input

The ASUS Designo M246H's most distinctive feature is its design, but it still performs admirably when compared with regular LCD monitors of a similar size. The lack of a DVI input and annoying touch-sensitive buttons may cause some frustration.

Compared to a LG Flatron W2353V at less than £170, the Asus may seem a little expensive. But around £200 is still a fair price for a 23in screen. And given the excellent colour and the sumptuous looks of the Asus, we think this remains an excellent...

Response time ; Decent viewing angles

Stand isn't very sturdy ; No DVI input ; Frustrating touch-sensitive controls

The most distinctive feature of the ASUS Designo M236H LCD monitor is its gorgeous design. But it is not a great buy despite the acceptable price for the screen size. Buy this monitor if you are only interested in the looks and the negatives mentioned...
