Very affordable price. Solid dark grayscale and color reproduction. Good motion handling and small text performance. Sleek design.

Limited stand adjustability. No USB ports. Weak light grayscale performance.

More LCD Reviews:

Stand tilts, swivels, and is height-adjustable; uniform black level; displays text very well

Had to sacrifice brightness for color accuracy; some colors caused blooms of intensity

We didn’t encounter any dead or discolored pixels in our review, but buyers should note that Asus’s three-year warranty kicks in only if there are more than five of the former or three of the latter.

Good value, excellent color, good performance with fast-moving images, includes HDMI and DVI inputs

Some reliability concerns, no USB ports, image presets of limited value

Inexpensive ; Great Image Quality ; HDMI, DVDI-D, and VGA inputs ; HDCP compliant

Control Button Labels Hard to See ; Built-in Speakers Are No Replacement for Stand-Alone Speakers ; Stand Does Not Swivel ; Display is Not Height-adjustable

Even though the VH242H includes a number of different image-quality presets for various content-type viewing scenarios, we found that most of the time the monitor's default settings were sufficient. That's not to say that tweaking the settings didn't...

12/2/2010 to Present: I bought this monitor years ago. It is my everyday monitor. Since purchase I have had no issues at all. I normally don't expect such life span out of a product like this (Monitors usually need the capacitors replaced on the power...

None to note: My uses are programming, gaming, YouTube.

I've been using this monitor for a year and a half and it hasn't let me down! ASUS is a top quality company and I won't hesitate to buy an ASUS monitor as long as they continue their high reliability.

None.

I've had these monitors for 3 years in dual setup, the slim profile makes it a great choice for side by side setups as opposed to an angled setup. I've ran these through a 4760 HD, 550 ti, and am now running them on a 980 ti - I'll be upgrading from...
