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

The screen would be fine if you never had any point of reference in life but once you see any other screen on earth youll realize the screen is super desaturated.

I bought a similarly priced/similarl spec asus monitor back in 2013 ($90, 1080p, 1ms response). I accidentally broke the screen, so i needed to replace it. I mistakenly believed, that this monitor would be aproximately the same.... BOY WAS I WRONG!!! where can i start? how about the only good thing: LATENCY: This is literally, the only thing i look for when buying a gaming monitor... thats why i bought the 2013 ASUS, and thats why i bought this one. this thing is fast and responsive, and it feels good playing on it. same deal as the 2013. Manufacturers never actually specify input latency, but you can usually deduce it from the pixel response time and the refresh rate. This monitor has a very respectable 1 ms/75 hz... and as expected, there is no perceptible input lag, even when playing fast action games from the 80s and 90s on FPGA hardware. --- Thats it for the good news... read on for the abysmal everything else: VIEWING ANGLE: so, the viewing angle is bad from left to right... but its SO BAD from top to bottom, that its impossible to position my head properly so that i can see an even picture from top to bottom. Its absolutely pathetic. It would suck trying to play local multiplayer on this junk. Ive never seen a worse viewing angle on any display, ever... maybe an original Gameboy, or something like that is worse. Im not exaggerating at all. By comparison, my 2013 asus had a viewing angle over 170 degrees. BRIGHTNESS: well... i mean... its fairly bright if you are looking right at it, but it just looks washed out. Again, im comparing it to my 2013 model which was EXTREMELY bright. COLOR: the colors are nowhere near accurate, but only an idiot would buy a $100 and expect an accurate color reproduction. to compare it to my 2013 asus, the colors on that panel were overly bright and saturated, but it looked great for gaming... the colors on this panel are washed out and lack contrast. It just looks awful. AUDIO: it has speakers, but they are, again, complete garbage... this is normal (and at least it has speakers)... but there is no way to connect external speakers or headphones if you are using HDMI. What the....? Oh, and get this... there are no volume controls... you have to use the awkward button interface to navigate to a THIRD LEVEL MENU TO ADJUST THE VOLUME!!!! What the...? Ive never seen anything like it in my life. CONNECTIONS: There are 3 connections hdmi, vga + audio in. I havent used the VGA yet, but i will check it out in a day or two. Im not even gonna bother with the audio in. if you are using VGA, plug your audio into literally ANYTHING else, and it will be better than this. By comparison, my 2013 Asus had 2 HDMI ports, one VGA port, and both audio in and audio out (which doubled for headphone output). It even had dedicated volume controls!!! What the...? -- BOTTOM LINE: This company has created a product which obviously neither the designers nor the quality assurance team cared about. If you need a gaming monitor with a fast response time, and you can overlook the TERRIBLE everything else, this might be an ok monitor for you if you can get it for under 100 dollars... (and you cant find anything else at that price point) otherwise... you should buy literally anything else. Ive never seen a worse monitor. Maybe try something from Sceptre, Acer, or LG if you are looking for a cheap gaming monitor.

This is a quality monitor one of the best features is the blue light filter, if your looking at a screen for long hours at a time this is the one for you. This will save your eyesight in the long term.

I needed a smaller monitor with a low base. This is one of the shortest stands I could find as I have monitors above it. The screen seems slightly washed out to me, but it serves my needs. There is an occasional flicker. Im assuming this is firmware on the laptop, but Im not sure...

Affordable and serve my purpose.

Me gusta la reacción que tengo en este monitor pero hay mapas que se ven muy oscuros

Great Monitor for gamers who don’t want to spend too much. I daily use it for doing work and playing games and the picture quality is superb. Highly recommended for the price only con is the monitor stand upon which it sits disconnects from the monitor if you try and pick it up but you can see it’s designed that way for maximum adjustability.

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

The reason this is such a low review in general is because buying this is a coin toss, I just got one today and it had light leaking, if you get lucky then this is a great monitor.

Asus is generally good, but this is a disappointment. the main issues are the viewing angels and color reproduction. my 13y/o 10 LCD looks better then this. you need to look at it dead on to get any sense of proper color. I got this for a multi monitor set up and was hugely disappointed. Returns were easy and painless though I will give them that. lastly the refreshrate and response times were ok, nothing to write home about. TL,DR; I wouldnt recommend this to my worst enemy
