ASUS 21.5 inch Ultra Slim Gaming Computer Monitor - Full HD 1920x1080, 1ms Response Time, Built-in Speakers, HDMI Port, VGA Port - VP228HE

We bought this as a second monitor because its the newer version of our other Asus monitor. We were expecting them to be pretty close to the same. Its crap. The picture quality is so low, I hope you dont need to read anything small on it. Everything is fuzzy and grainy and its so dim- and thats on the best setting I could get it on. I wish I hadnt destroyed the box or I would be trying to return it. But its under $100 you say? Yeah and its worth about $20. If you have no monitor and HAVE to get something cheap, still look for other options first.

It is definitely white washed viewing and playing with the contrast etc didnt work. It will work for my needs for the time being. had to buy a vga cable for it as it didnt come with one.

AUX por DOES NOT WORK. Also, the quality on the screen varies with sections of it being sharp and others being blury. Look elsewhere.

Great monitor for the price. I play my PS4 on it and it works great.

For gaming as a second monitor for discord and the other stuff.

I bought two of these monitors and my primary use is Bible reading, photography, web design, and video/music editing. Both monitors works great for that and they would be fine to game on too. I choose these monitors because they have hdmi and audio connections as they have built-in speakers. I already have a set of Sony external speakers but wanted to use the built-in speakers whenever I watched YouTube. I was disappointed in the very bad quality of the speaker sound. Asus shouldnt have even bothered putting in speakers. Also, you cannot connect audio cable from PC to the monitor and expect sound if you are using hdmi. If you are using vga then it works. Because my graphic card doesnt support dual hdmi audio simultaneously, only one monitor can play audio at a time. I had to contact Asus and they did confirm this to me.

Waste of money. By for the worst monitor I have owned. Does not have vibrant color at all. Spend abit more or try another cheap one but this isn’t it. Don’t buy.

Good Value

If you’re looking for a 120hz Monitor for a cheap price. This isn’t it. I thought I found a gold mine of a reliable brand that was selling a quality monitor for this cheap. Once I got and I plugged it in immediately I knew it was 60hz by the smoothness of how the mouse pointer moved. Nvidia Control Panal confirmed that it was 60hz display. Hopefully Amazon fixes misinformation or an ASUS 120hz Monitor.

I ordered this to create a dual display setup. It was not the same model as the one I already had, but the specs and size were the same so I figured it would do. I set it up next to my existing monitor (HP Pavilion 22 cwa) and the color looked washed out. I checked the driver, spent time modifying the brightness, contrast, and any other settings in the menu to no improvement. Then I started to search and found this is not an uncommon complaint. I should I have checked the reviews more thoroughly.
