I am very pleased with my purchase and 23" is alot bigger than I thought originally. Cons: none Other Thoughts: Got a free wall mount!!! Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
neezer 8/31/2010 12:13:04 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great monitor Pros: Nice size for the price , built in speakers, which i find nice being a person who moves his tower around alot. The picture looks nice and clean , i have played nearly every good game that has been released in the last year on this monitor and have nothing to complain about. Cons: the menu navigation sucks , and i guess some people have trouble getting their xbox 360s to work via hdmi , i on the other hand did not have this problem , ive used mine several times on here and its fine.

N/A 8/31/2010 8:20:15 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great buy Pros: Looks great Low price Cons: built in speakers are kind of weak but that's to be expected Other Thoughts: arrived very quickly I'm very pleased with the screen. I could definitely see myself buying another one of these when i get the money Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Mike 8/31/2010 8:06:28 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Excellent Buy Pros: Vibrant color - the colors and contrast and excellent without appearing saturated. Easy controls - standard lower right button placement, easy to use. Viewing modes - several viewing modes to choose from, I find myself bouncing between standard, gaming, and nightview quite often. Cons: Setup time - Out of the box settings were pretty poor. Contrast and brightness were 100%. The viewing modes were all similar, I had to configure each one individually to my liking. Not enough of a con to remove an egg. Other Thoughts: Excellent buy for the price. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
bigtraps 8/30/2010 9:54:14 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Nice and BIG Pros: Nice big, bright screen. HDMI Cons: Can do without the speakers. Other Thoughts: The menu buttons take a little getting used to Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Donna 8/28/2010 11:16:58 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5ASUS rebate service is horrible Pros: It's so-so LCD Cons: I did send the NewEgg invoice to ASUS Rebate Center and followed every ASUS rebate step. The invoice # and Invoice date are clear and loud on my record. But the service from ASUS rebate center says it didn't receive my invoie and refused my rebate. I have kept my records in hands. I'm very unhappy with ASUS rebeate center's service. They should try their best to serve the clients and try their best to seriously give clients rebates instead of distort information received and refused to give rebates. Please run ASUS rebate business in a serious way. Hope ASUS could improve its service. It is not only a $10 issue, but it is about how ASUS treats its clients and its business honesty/trust. Other Thoughts: Please pay attention to the ASUS rebate center and its service. 3 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
DLO 8/27/2010 12:46:14 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Cant beat the price Pros: Monitor looks great hooked up via HDMI and DVI alike, ran a few games (Dead Space, Crysis, SC2) beautiful color and contrast after calibration. Skin tones and black leves are great when watching movies, no banding, and no dead pixels upon arrival. Cons: None so far. Other Thoughts: Best monitor for the price. and as always NEWEGG ROCKS!!!

Steve- o 8/26/2010 8:17:16 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Perfect Pros: This monitor is great. With great color, outstanding resolution and 1080p quality picture, this is simply a must buy. It was cheap, and a great value as it is certainly not built cheap. I love this monitor, easy setup and configuration - buy it! Cons: A little tricky to navigate the menu Other Thoughts: BUY IT, ITS AWESOME Did you find this review helpful?

Browncow8 8/26/2010 5:07:36 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5	Rating: 5/5Great Monitor Pros: Its got HDMI, DVI, and VGA, plus built in speakers. 24" What more do you need!!!!

Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Cory Reed 8/26/2010 1:04:11 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Just perfect. Just buy it. Pros: - Price, price, price. What you get for this is amazing. - Huge Size - Sleek glossy look - Connections up the wazoo - Better built in speakers then my netbook - HDMI - Power, vol, contrast, etc; buttons are tucked away, hidden from direct view, but are still easily reached on the front bottom right - Circular stand doesn't look funky - 1080P for so low a price - No dead pixels - Amazing color and contrast - Great default setting color values - Wide-screen movies look just stunning, because of the wide-screen, the movie image is 4 times the size of a 19 inch "full screen" square style monitor. - Its perfect Cons: If I had to come up with one ... When I play standard def movies, I can now tell how poor quality they are compared to how amazing it displays bluray. So, its like, don't buy a better TV if your gona watch VHS tapes? Other Thoughts: - It replaced my two 19-inch LCD monitors - split screen setup. So much happier. No split to deal with, better quality, no worry of color deference. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
