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

I’ve had this monitor for years and recently had an accident but decided to get the same monitor again. Its very good for gaming on a budget but still wanting a good product. I did get a dead pixel in my most recent order but it’s not that bad. The advertised hz seems to be false but I think that has to do with the amazon provider and not ASUS directly. Overall get this monitor as a main for a budget or a top notch 2nd monitor.

First off let me say that this is NOT a 120hz monitor. Not only did I magically pay $150 for this thing, but it was falsely advertised and I can not be more upset. Despite all of that I can say that it is a great secondary monitor for my mother whom Ive decided to give this to. The 75hz AGAIN SEVENTY FIVE HERTY REFRESH RATE works well with my mothers simple work tasks and responsibilities. I would not recommend this to any hard core gamer and especially for the price I paid for it.

Good Value

What an extremely poor delivery. Left by roadside mailbox, in the weather, where anyone driving by could have grabbed and dashed. I expect way more from delivery than this as its only 300 ft up the driveway to the from door that is covered and where most all other amazon deliveries are deposited.

The only thing good on this monitor was text sharpness. screen looked washed out, pictures did not look natural Peoples faces had a green tint.. If an add came up with a dark background or there was a large picture on the web page the screen would automatically darken making any pictures look even worse. Went to online users manual to try to adjust settings but the manual was useless for me. I could not find any information on how to lighten colors or change hue of pictures. Finally gave up in frustration and returned the monitor. I have a 10 yr old HP monitor that has a much better picture with no adjustment and natural looking colors.. I expected that a 10 yr newer monitor would be at at least as good as the old one. It was not.

Very poor quality, grainy, washed-out image with no blacks. Color and contrast severely lacking. View angle is extremely narrow, especially top-to-bottom. I spent time adjusting all the built-in settings to no avail. I tried both the VGA and HDMI connections using two different computers, no dice. I have an older version of this monitor that looks fine, but this new model looks terrible.

Everything on the display looked like garbage. Since it was used as a computer monitor, it was just too close and too big to look good with a 1080p resolution. The display settings were quite lacking as well. Its been a while since I returned it, and I recall a missing display setting option, but cant remember which. May have been contrast or sharpness. Either way, not worth the money.

I’m usually a fan of Asus products as they are well thought out and good quality. Unfortunately that didn’t work out for this monitor. I was looking for one with speakers so I could switch between work and plugging in a Roku or gaming console so that narrowed down my choices. While this Asus does reasonably for streaming video and gaming it’s not good for text. Even with brightness turned down and contrast up I couldn’t get a reasonable black for my text.

I love everything about his monitor there is just one thing I dont like it only gets 60 frames a second

This is probably an LCD or IPS monitor with LED edge backlighting instead of full array LED backlighting. Inspite of the reasonable price, a reasonable reproduction of the original laptop monitor of my computer only occurred if I tilted the monitor manually past the angle allowed by the monitor stand. Even then is was slightly hazy. My laptop produces 4k resolution which is translated down by this monitor. This further reduces the crispness and contrast. If this backlighting were full array, the monitor price would have to be higher and the contrast improved and no fogging. I dont blame ASUS as much as I blame myself for not being educated about the display technologies which are constantly evolving into such backlit modes as OLED, and others. Even though the price is very reasonable the monitor narrow viewing angle and the accompanying fog on the screen made for a very unpleasant viewing experience. I returned the item. Amazons return policy is the best in the world!
