ASUS VE198T

Vivid colors

Little detail

While it works, it's great

After one month had a dead pixel, no big deal but annoying. After two months, monitor dies. I believe the back light went out so the monitor gets so dark it's unusable. RMA it back to ASUS. After two weeks of waiting, they email me back and say nothing...

2 thumbs up

few things. the speakers in the monitor are really bad, for example i played highest settings on a game and i could hardly hear the words.. the stand is bit flimsy

This is a great smaller display. Great back lighting. Display is crisp and clear. Stand was stellar for a display in this price range. Sub 100.00

Speakers are a little weak. Fine for basic windows sounds ; Not 1080

Colors are nice, LED backlit is nice, decent automatic color presets (though they were a bit bright for me so I used Standard with some changes.) ; HDMI works with an HDMI->DVI adapter ; I mounted it on a VESA monitor mount

the screen is 16:10, but there is no 16:9 letterbox mode. This means I can't use it for a PS3 )

LED Backlight (Saves on Power) ; Crystal Clear Image ; Splendid Modes ; Works ; Nice LED light indicating standby mode ; No Dead Pixels

Built in speakers aren't the best (not a con for me but for some) ; Wobbles a little(Once again not a con for me since it only wobbles a little, people are making the wobbling seem too exaggerated way to much unless they are slapping their monitor...

No dead pixels and no backlight bleeding. Great color and contrast for a monitor of this price range. Nice and bright, yet very energy efficient. Decent display configuration options (color, contrast, brightness, sharpness, etc.)

The anti-glare used for this screen is quite heavy, giving it a noticeable "grainy" or "greasy" appearance from how the anti-glare treatment refracts light. Of course, some eyes are more sensitive to matte grain than others, so it may not be noticeable...
