Asus VG23AH

The first 3D-enabled IPS monitor to hit PC Labs, the Asus VG23AH ($279.99 list) delivers rich color quality from any angle and is equipped with four video ports, two of which are HDMI inputs. The 23-inch panel uses passive 3D technology to deliver...

Solid color and viewing angle performance. Generous port selection. Reasonably priced

Off-angle 3D quality is mediocre. No USB ports. Speakers lack bass

The Asus VG23AH is a relatively affordable 23-inch monitor offering IPS and 3D technology and a generous selection of video inputs. Color and viewing angle performance is quite good in 2D mode but there?s significant crosstalk when viewing 3D images...

Asus VG23AH

With an in-plane switching (IPS)-based screen, a useful assortment of connections and ergonomic options, and a price at around $300, the VG23AH might sound like a monitor worthy of praise.

Given its IPS panel tech, the Asus VG23AH comes with a surprisingly low price tag. It also sports wide viewing angles and great movie performance. Its useful ergonomic features and dual HDMI ports round out an affordable package.

The passive 3D performance is bad, with terrible ghosting and shallow depth. The build quality feels a bit plasticky, too, and the swivel feature feels a bit stiff.

The Asus VG23AH nails it in price, features, and 2D performance, but falls flat on its screen in 3D.

"Review fails at 3d in front of our eyes..."

If you have ever seen a passive 3d tv/monitor, you should know that viewing angle is crucial to see perfect 3d. From the video it's pretty obvious that he was looking at a wrong angle when testing 3d, that's why the image fell apart (otherwise there is...

IPS panel -> good viewing angles, great colors

Vertical viewing angle is limited in 3d (by the nature of passive 3d technology)

"If your looking for a 3d monitor check this one out."

The amount of technology Asus put into this monitor is just Awesome! Just like what kissan4 said "go and see the product for yourself"

Great picture in BOTH 2d/3d.

None so far.

"Great 3D monitor for games and movies"

I believe the CNET reviewer utilized the "auto-magic" 2D to 3D conversion thats built into the monitor as he did not mention which 3rd party driver he utilized (i.e: iz3D or tridef - recommend by AMD for my HD7870). Just install one of these drivers...

Solid 2D monitor with an excellent entry level 3D capability.

Lack of instruction on 3D middleware (iz3d or tridef) to get 3D games working

"After a lot of research. I kept coming back to this."

Great monitor so far. I thought the reviewer was a little picky as he described this monitor...

Easy setup

Stand jiggles a little... But not enough to get upset over

Potential ruined by crappy QC

I've been through two of these now and they are both plagued by the same issue: faint horizontal lines in 2D mode from the passive 3d this monitor uses. The people without this issue love it, but the fact that you can get two in a row with the same...
