ASUS VE248H 24" LED Backlit Widescreen Computer Display

I would recommend a different model ASUS monitor as this one has the annoying ghosting issue, but it is fixable if you already own one. Press and hold the menu button, then click the power button and let go of both. The monitor will turn on without its typical splash screen.

  This monitor has pretty good color once properly calibrated and at 1080P is still very viable for high definition content.

  The ghosting which is EXTREMELY noticeable with dark objects against a lightly colored background can be very annoying if not remedied.

The picture quality is amazing on this monitor. Marvelous upgrade to my Asus monitor. Easy to use presets that work in most situations. Brightness is high enough I can easily read text on my screen in a week lit room next to the window. I use this as my primary monitor for work and personal.

I bought this monitor to play Street fighter 4 and it really works. My opponents would be a few frames behind, kinda felt like cheating haha. The speakers are also pretty good for the price. Connected to my FIOS box via hdmi and it was a whole new experience from a regular lcd television.

  menu is hard to get used to

I would recommend this monitor for anyone, just have separate speakers...we don't buy monitors for speakers, they are an added bonus to help with desk clutter, but since these are stinkier than the poop I just took 15 minutes ago, I had to drop an egg (pun intended).

  Great quality monitor...really great picture.

  Have either another primary speaker output, or cringe. The monitor's primary job is to display, and it does that amazingly, it just...lacks in the speaker department. Understandably so, my other ASUS monitor has better speakers, these are just terribad.

Needed a secondary monitor for browsing to pair with my 240hz panel, so 75hz is fine. Build quality is really nice for the price. The buttons are firm and decisive, the stand is firm and extremely ergonomic. Took 1 star off because no matter what settings I use I can't reach a neutral color temp.

I have a KVM switch so I can run both my desktop and work laptop on the dual monitors. The KVM has one VGA and one DVI output, thus I have to connect one monitor using DVI and the other using VGA.

  I am a software developer and have become accustomed to using dual monitors. One of my older 19 inch monitors stopped working so I went on the search for a new pair. I narrowed my choices to this Asus and a very similar ViewSonic monitor.

  Some of the other reviews mentioned poor speakers. No, not the greatest sound, but I use separate external speakers anyway, as you probably should also no matter what monitor you own. My only criticism is it would be nice if the height were adjustable.

While this is a really nice screen for gaming and movies - it will look a bit odd for regular desktop use as it doesn't truly fit the 1920x1080 screen border. (Tried using VGA, Display Port, & HDMI) There's about 3mm of a black borders on the left and right side of the screen which overlaps the...

I didn't mark an egg off for this or mark it as a Con because I didn't buy the monitor for it's refresh rate but it's only 60hz at 1920x1080 resolution. The specifications say 50hz-76hz but it's based on resolution.

  ASUS is quality products Cables connect vertically instead of horizontally like some cheaper monitors. Can display full HD 1920x1080 via HDMI Beautiful crisp bright colors. Built-In Speakers (I don't use them but it's a nice plus if you need them)

I've used this monitor for a while now and it still serves me well for 1080p gaming. It's response time and refresh rate are good for normal gaming needs, but obviously not suited for 2k or 4k gaming, or for extremely niche 1080p competitive gaming requiring super high frame rates and refresh times.

- I plan to give this to my brother sometime soon just to get a 144hz or 4k. I will always go ASUS after owning this.
