Pros: Nice and bright.

Cons: This deal made it to the front page of SD's.
When this monitor finally arrived to my house from newegg, it turns out there was 1 very noticeable dead pixel on the mid-bottom-left corner that can be seen on black and all blue colors.

It turns out I wasn't the only one that received a dead pixel, but someone else on the SD page posted that they received one with a dead pixel.


Preset calibrations for this monitor was not very good.

The buttons took a few hours to get use to while navigating through the menu.

Very hard to calibrate.

Pros: Great monitor. Extremely bright, great size, and I don't see any light bleed around the edges at all. Great price too if you catch it on sale. Some folks have mentioned color accuracy but that's not an issue for me (if it looks good, I'm happy). Gaming is great at this size, and it's a very comfortable size for using 2 windows side by side for more productive uses.

Cons: Had to take off one egg because my first one had a dead pixel (stuck green). RMA'd it and my new one showed up today 1 1/2 weeks later.

Other Thoughts: Newegg's RMA process went quite smoothly (they paid for return shipping) and my second monitor was perfect.

Pros: beautiful monitor great color no dead pixials great sound from speakers easy to understand right out of box sure beats 15'' laptop display

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: also bought parts to build desktop cant wait till its complete forgot os so will be a few

Pros: Great display, colors look awesome, no dead pixels

Cons: I had trouble getting it to power up for the first time, tried multiple outlets, even used the cable from my tv, but after an hour of frustration, i quit and came back, worked fine and has ever since!

Other Thoughts: great product, i paid 144 for it, had a 36 dollar coupon code plus a 20 rebate! excellent deal!! thanks newegg!

Pros: Very bright, colors look great if you use "scenery mode", no bleeding, good port selection. came with audio dvi and hdmi cords! This screen has a great response rate for gaming and a great resolution for photoshop!

Cons: The speakers are quiet

Other Thoughts: After seeing the product I received I am very happy with my purchase.

Pros: Very nice and large, hdmi, built in speakers. Anti-glare (not a glossy screen)

Cons: A little wobbly, can't move up or down.

Pros: This thing is amazing for the price thats all i can really say

Cons: dead pixels :/

Other Thoughts: i would definately rate this a 5 without the pixel problem. lucky for me its off to the side so doesnt bother me so far just looks like a spec of dirt on the screen. only reason i rated 1 is to help even up the known odds of getting dead pixels since most that do rate it a 4 or 5 anyways and its hard to tell

Pros: Monitor is sleek, uses nice regular buttons (not the crummy touches that work half the time). Was a decent deal for the price and comes out nice.

Cons: ASUS rebate is garbage they are running a grand scam with the 20$ off thing. You have to pay 2.00$ to get 18.00$ back, or you get the full 20.00 back in 8-10 weeks. I even doubt sometimes they process nor care if your rebate gets here.

If you're not willing to really hound them for the rebate if it's coming at all, make sure you hold onto the paperwork in case they don't intend to send it.

All in all, don't expect the rebate to matter when buying this monitor, don't consider it part of the discount since they plan to hold your money ransom or give it to you 2.5 months after you send it in.

Other Thoughts: ASUS really does make good products, but I was bothered by their rebate process.

I marked it down at 3 because I don't believe I can honestly rate this high based on their rebate program, it just disguises the price being lower.

Pros: Solid monitor, hdmi is great, huge, very bright, integrated sound

Cons: Menu is shotty and speakers are decent but to be expected with a monitor.

Other Thoughts: Touch too bright, easy fix

Pros: About as big a screen as you would want or need on your desktop. Easy access to options

Cons: The built-in speakers are not that good, but I never intended on using them and you shouldn't expect much from speakers so small.
