I'm pretty satisfied

So far so good. It's a good size for my area. Screen is nicely lit the only thing is it's very light and I had to prop it up a little higher, about 3 or 4 inches to make it more eye level and it being light, I hope it doesn't get knocked around,...

Good for the Price (No HDMI)

I got these on sale, so I'm happy with the price I paid since they really are great monitors. I think even at full price it is worth the money.

I bought two of these monitors for my wife since she is back in school and dual monitors makes multitasking so much easier. They shipped quickly and arrived in only a couple of days. They have a great picture for what she is using it for. I have not...

The only cons I have for these (and the reason I didn't give them 5 stars) is that they only have VGA and DVI inputs. The new computer my wife got only had a VGA and an HDMI output, so I had to get a conversion cable. Not a huge deal, but I did not...

Great bang for the buck

Something to consider about this monitor is that the cables plug straight into the back of the monitor, as opposed to the connections being angled downward so that the cables dangle immediately down from the monitor. So, this being flush against a wall...

First, I should state that I didn't buy this from NewEgg, but instead a local electronics dealer that matched NewEgg's price. I'm terrified of ordering monitors online. The more times it gets shipped, the higher the chance of defects on arrival. That...

The monitor isn't perfect, however. The viewing angles are little underwhelming, such that if you're looking straight at the monitor, there is some slight discoloration in the very corners, just because of the change in viewing angle from the center to...

Great Monitor

After shopping around a bit, I finally decided on this monitor. I must say, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The picture looks great, and I haven't had any issues with it what so ever.

Wobby but super light

Thin, lightweight. I can easily hold this monitor in one hand. I have the window open and I don't see my reflection in the monitor from the sunlight

Stand is wobbly as other people have noted. As I am typing this the monitor is wobbling a little. I guess I can get used to this but Asus should really do something about this

Good Value for your Money

Got it for 120 bucks, maximum resolution at 1600x900 just what I wanted

Read reviews that stand is wobbly. Very true. But it's very sturdy. It just wobbles because the monitor to stand thickness ratio is just way off

Don't think about it, just buy it!

Excellent monitor, displays games quite nicely, and yet is easy to use for everything else too. Not the easiest menu to navigate to adjust settings, but just use the built-in adjustments in Windows and be happy!

Good, cheap monitor

I bought 13 for my work, mounting them 2 side by side on desks. So far they all are working great and the resolution and matte finish of the screens are great! I would highly reccomend these to anyone looking for an affordable screen that is of high...

Cheap ; High Resolution ; VESA mounts ; Light ; Low power consumption

Backlight can flicker on certain brightness settings ; Plastic bezel feels kinda cheap
