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

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.

This monitor arrived in perfect shape and fit the need for the system it was used with.

The picture quality was great for videos but overall, the screen seemed dim and the color settings never seemed to look as good as my higher quality Dell monitor for business applications. When using for text and Windows applications, the text seemed pixelated. I contacted ASUS but the problem was not resolved. Again, I guess you get what you pay for..........I will probably return.

While its cheaper than my normal Asus EyeCare monitor, I wanted something smaller and my usual starts at 24...we have 5 in the family. The quality of this monitor was so awful for regular use, not even gaming. When side by side with my higher end model, the picture and refresh rate were apparent. Unless you really need a smaller monitor, I suggest the higher end EyeCare, which REALLY does help with your eyes, my husbands glasses prescription went down. You can find the higher end one on Amazon for something like $124 and absolutely worth every penny. I also suggest a monitor mount, which are also fairly cheap to get a larger monitor off your desk. My husband is a gamer but I use dual monitors for online shopping, email and managing our finances.

I’m not sure where all the good reviews come from on this monitor aside from the price. I bought it as a second for chat and and web browsing while gaming and any angle makes it impossible to see. The second star is only because it was cheap and usable but I barley, my eyes stress while using it

O like

Colors are washed out. Overall build quality seems very poor for an ASUS product.

As our yearbook sponsor, I needed a larger monitor to work on page layout. This was a better dimension and larger screen size than my school issue monitor. It allows for plenty of room for the layout design of pages and works well with my needs.
