ASUS VE248Q Black 24" 2ms LED Backlight Widescreen LCD Monitor w/ Speakers 250 cd/m2 ASCR 50,000,000:1 (1,000:1)

Pros: - HDMI, DP, VGA and audio ports.
- Price.
- Size.
- Power source is included within the unit.

Cons: - Default settings are not the best.

Other Thoughts: Probably should have bought a bigger monitor.

Pros: The screen is a perfect size for me and my setup, and it looks great. I can really tell the difference in the response time as i don't see as much of the ghosting that my old dell monitor did. The colors are great, I didn't bother messing with them because they already look good. The bezel is nice and small and the gloss finish looks great. Best part is that it arrived with no dead pixels!

Cons: The splendid color mode is somewhat useless, the only thing I use it for is the night time viewing mode. LOL

Pros: Very bright and clear, decently small bezel size and the menu buttons are easier to push than the other two Asus Monitors I have since the buttons on this one are on the bottom of the bezel rather than the front.

Cons: The high contrast washes out some of color and at default is too bright for my taste, although it can easily be reduced/adjusted to preference.

Other Thoughts: I got this monitor for my eyefinity setup because it has a display port, it does fine and appears to work for the intended purpose so far. I would buy it again if I had a do-over.

Pros: Just a good all-around monitor for gaming, web browsing, web development, etc

Cons: Actually none at all

Other Thoughts: Buy one if you only need a general monitor, for everyday office use, etc

Pros: Great price, good color (until.. see below), worked fine right out of the box, contained everything i needed.

Cons: I have been using this monitor since April 2012. It worked great during the first few months. Then I started to notice a small patch of shadow at the bottom right part of the monitor. This patch has grown substantially over the last couple of months.

Pros: Great value, good selection of inputs. Very bright. Excellent non-glare matte finish on the screen. Fast response time.

Cons: Some people have noted that color calibration of this monitor is difficult. Just about every monitor comes out of the box with color calibration intended to wow customers looking at it in a store. Color calibration on this monitor is a little time consuming because of the menu controls.

Other Thoughts: My recommendation for color calibration - let display warm up for 30 minutes. Set color temperature to User mode and R/G/B of 90, contrast and brightness 70. Then in your graphics driver set pixel format to RGB 4:4:4 then adjust your gamma.

Also note that the DisplayPort connection on this monitor is full size DP and your graphics card DP output is probably min DP. So keep that in mind when buying your cabling.

Pros: I love these things! I got 3 of them for an eyefinity display setup and I love them. I bought a stand from another site to put up all 3 on one stand and it is really a great setup. No dead pixels on any of the 3. 4800x1200 resolution looks great on BF3, ultra settings.

Cons: Bezel is a bit big, kinda gets in the way of eyefinity, but not enough to take off an egg, i knew what I was buying. Really no use for speakers. Newegg don't have any good stands for a triple stand monitors.

Other Thoughts: My system:
AMD 8350 OC'd 4.6
G.Skill 16gb 1866mhz
Antec khuler 920
2x Gigabyte hd 7970 x-fired
Asus sabertooth mobo
Crucial M4 ssd 128gb
2x seagate 2tb storage drives, raid 0.
3x Asus 24" Screens
M-Audio BX5a studio monitors
Alesis 16 Channel mixer

Pros: Lots of inputs, including displayport. The monitor tilt angle is ridiculous. I don't know why others say you can't do it. The downward angle is the best I've ever seen.

It also has a cable management hole in the back.

Cons: Not the best picture accuracy, but after some customizing it's pretty decent.

Pros: Looks Great, worked fine. for 4-5 months

Cons: Started to change colors on me a few months back, thought it was a cable issue and finally changed it. then it started to fade out, then back. now it starts and then drops out. cable in and out and sometimes it comes back on. when it doesnt come back on I have to shut it of and on several times.

Pros: Wide screen is good to do multiple task on the screen without having to close and open windows.

Cons: when plugged on the display port i get white lines and static on the monitor. on every other connector it works fine.

Other Thoughts: Would of spent a couple dollars more for a 3d ready monitor for my gaming
