Great for Price Point,
I am extremely picky with my monitors. I don’t see anything outperforming this monitor at this price point.
That said, it does have it’s flaws…
The out of box colors on this monitor are HORRIBLE. So bad I was considering sending it back. I spent about 2 hours calibrating to get it right.
The interface controls for calibration are also quite cumbersome, which is part of the reason why it took me so long to make my adjustments.
I did, however, successfully tweak the settings and got them close enough to enjoy the use of this monitor.
There will be some variation between monitors but for anyone curious my settings are as follows…
Theater Mode
Brightness 85
Contrast 85
ASCR OFF
Sharpness 81
Saturation 39
Color Temp. Normal
Skin Tone Reddish
I hope this helps anyone struggling with a similar issue. I would recommend to anyone on a budget, truly a “bang for the buck” product. There are better monitors out there for sure, but easily 2x the price for any noticeable gains in performance.
I was able to adjust the settings to make it enjoyable.

|Gorgeous,
I bought this monitor tentatively based on some other substandard reviews. I’m glad I pulled the trigger though. This monitor is, well I think the title sums it up best, gorgeous. There were no dead pixels and the item was well packaged upon receipt. First off I must dispell the “ghosting” rumor. There is zero ghosting on my monitor. It’s running on a GTX 460 1gb graphics card with a mini HDMI-HDMI connection. I have watched high definition content online, blu-ray movies, and used various applications trying my hardest to find a flaw, but to no avail. It performs seamlessly. Moreover, the colors and factory presets were spot on. Some reviewers stated they had to spend hours calibrating this monitor before it was remotely viewable. I can’t understand or relate to this in any way. I was more afraid to adjust the settings at all because it was already perfect right out of the box. I’ve also read some reviewers stating that you need to use a DVI before you can switch to HDMI. This is also not true. I started with the HDMI and after changing the input selection to HDMI the screen loaded right up. The initial display was at an old resolution for some reason but all it took was a reboot and I was viewing full 1080p.
Moving on, the stand is secure but not the most stable. Let me explain, it’s definitely not going to spontaneously fly off your desk however, if you have a desk or computer cart that moves then the monitor will wobble. Seems like more of a safety feature though because the base remains glued to the surface but the monitor jiggles a bit to absorb the motion. This is the only thing that could be considered a flaw. Other then that Asus has released 24 inches of brilliantly vivid glory. This monitor is remarkably clear while remaining very easy on the eyes. Not to mention energy efficient running at around 30 watts. Do yourself a favor and grab one, for $200 you can’t do better.

|Amazing,
As I wasn’t expecting to write this review this fast, I’m slightly in shock!
Ordered this on Feb 23rd, Paid for the 3-5day Standard Shipping. Recieved this Friday 2/25. Talk about fast? Amazon tracking still shows it is “Shipping Soon”. Props to the Amazon and ANTonline for fast processing/shipping/delivery. Wasn’t expecting this thing until next week!
Out of box, yes the colors are horrible, Red/Blue/Green all turned up to 100%. Simply setting this to Theatre Mode fixed it, but to ever go off of a “Splendid Mode” you need to manually adjust those. I’m not going to dock stars because of Out Of Box Look, this is expected.
This monitor is awesome. I haven’t noticed any Ghosting, nor have I seen any Dead Pixels. There’s no White visibly shown through around the edges, and the black is Black. The image is just awesome.
I Jumped into World of Warcraft to check out the view, 10x better than my older 20″ LCD. The colors just Pop out at you. It’s amzing.
The ONLY 2 negative comments I can make, although I knew this by reading hundreds of reviews first, is that you HAVE to hook up to DVI/VGA and adjust the settings to HDMI to run from an HDMI cable. Doesn’t take more than 30 seconds, you can leave the HDMI cable plugged in while you do it, and you can unplug the DVI/vga cable immediately and it will Auto Refresh onto the HDMI slot.
The 2nd negative is that the speakers suck. I didn’t purchasse this Monitor for the system as I have a 5.1 Surround hooked up to my PC. Quite frankly I don’t know anyone looking for a monitor because of the SOUND, but if you are, look elsewhere. You aren’t going to get amazing sound past High pitch (Take your car stereo, turn the Bass and Mids as low as they can go, Turn the Treble all the way up, this is what you get from these speakers).
