Asus VE248H Black 24" 2ms Full HD HDMI LED Backlight LCD Monitor w/Speakers 250 cd/m2 10,000,000:1

Pros: Pros:
Plenty of brightness...quick display mode changes from one bottom...very sleek...thin edges on the side....thin....very wide view...rivals my other Vizio and Element LCD televisions...the colors come in great when watching mkv videos or any other video really..cant beat the 10 million - to - 1 contrast ratio...very easy to set up

Cons: Cons:
The power button is located at the bottom edge of monitor instead of the front of the edge like most monitors. But this design makes the whole monitor seem more sleek. Yet it makes it a bit hard to tell if the monitor has been turned off when the PC turns off the display r if someone has turned off the monitor using the power bottom.

Pros: I bought one nearly a year ago, and loved the size, colors, and various cable options. I use it (along with a second) as my main monitors for my desktop (DVI), second screen for my laptop (VGA), and main screen for my Xbox (HDMI). All of this only through one monitor.

Cons: The only con is the speakers are not that great, but you shouldn't be buying a monitor just for the speakers.

Other Thoughts: I own two, and am considering getting a third. This is a great choice of monitor, and is totally worth the price.

Pros: Great monitor, good price and picture looks great overall.

Cons: Came with a dead pixel dead center in the screen. Incredibly annoying. Tried everything I could to fix it, but it won't go away.

Pros: This is a good monitor for the price. The picture requires some tweaking out of the box, but I am happy with it after adjustments. The stand is sturdy, and the panel can be tilted, which is nice. Considering the price with the discount and mail in rebate (which is still annoying), it's a great choice for a TN panel.

Cons: The buttons on the bottom are annoying. The menu is irritating to navigate through. The speakers are about what you would expect from a monitor (i.e. less than great). Buy real speakers or headphones if you actually want sound.

Other Thoughts: The actual model is nice, but monitors tend to be hit and miss. Fortunately, mine came with no dead pixels, which can be a nightmare to deal with. The item was shipped the day I ordered it (Friday), and arrived the following business day (Monday).

Pros: Vivid color

Cons: Bought the monitor back in 6/25/11. Had a dead pixel about a week after having it and just lived with it. I have been using the DVI cable and now purchased a HDMI cable. When i plug the HDMI cable in I see green/red/blue pixels shaking on the screen. There is also red lines that shoot across the screen.

Im guessing its a bad HDMI port because it is fine when i hook my computer up to a different monitor. My graphics card driver is up to date.

Pros: For the price this is a great monitor.
Don't expect flawless colors especially out of the box without some tweaking.
VGA, DVI, HDMI all work great.

Would be nice to have a remote to switch between PC and HDMI inputs, but other than that and the con below its a great monitor.

Cons: Speakers are abysmal.

Expect to use some external speakers with this if you're using it for TV, Bluray etc.

Pros: Very Vivid colors. low refreshrate is great for gaming.

Cons: speakers are pretty chinsy but thats not why your buying this so no eggs off.

Pros: Wonderful picture, nice size, good input choices, great gtg/btb rate - 2ms!

Cons: no height adjustment, bit of a power hog on the UPS when the a/c goes out.

Other Thoughts: Bought this monitor back in July 2011. Too bad the price hasn't dropped since then, but maybe I got a good deal. Well worth the price I got it for (slightly higher than the price less MIR right now)

Pros: Great monitor, great resolution no concerns with it.

Cons: None.

Pros: Good quality for the price.

Cons: Dead pixels have already been popping up and it is detracting enough for me to want to toss it out. I got this screen cause I wanted something bigger and my Samsung screen that I have had for over 6 years is still flawless. Don't choose ASUS for computer screen.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued Customer,

I’m sorry to hear your pixel issue. How many dead pixels are you seeing on the screen? If you believe this is more of a stuck pixel issue (RGB stuck pixel) rather than bright/dark dot, please try this tool: http://flexcode.org/lcd.html and allow it to run overnight under high contrast and brightness settings. If this is a recent purchase and you have not contacted Newegg, feel free to email me your inquiries, comments or concerns about this product at cl-celeste@asus.com and include ref#1072-10542 in the subject line.
