ASUS VS248H-P 24" Full HD 1920x1080 2ms HDMI DVI VGA Back-lit LED Monitor

I needed an additional 22 inch computer monitor with a DisplayPort input. This monitor exceeded my expectations for the price. It even came with DisplayPort and HDMI cables!Both text and graphics are crisp and I see no response issues when occasionally playing YouTube videos.I don't think you can do better at anywhere near the price for this monitor.

For a while I used a 26" Samsung TV as my desktop monitor because it was given to me for free when a family member no longer needed it. That replaced my single 22" Acer monitor that I was using before that. So at that point, I had a 26" and a 22" monitor together and that looked like crap. It worked for what it was, but having two different monitors hooked up together does not please the eyes one bit.So after a couple years and once I had enough money, I got sick of that and bought two of these Asus monitors to replace both of my previous ones(and turn the Samsung TV into what it was made to be, a TV). These monitors look awesome. They definitely have way more color than my Samsung TV, as I noticed when I was playing Diablo 3. With the Samsung TV, everything looked kind of dull and flat. I didn't notice at the time since I didn't have anything to compare it to, but once I got these monitors it was like day and night. They just look so much better in every way. I was a bit worried if everything would feel cramped by switching from a 26" 1920x1200 monitor to a 24" 1920x1080p monitor, but it doesn't. It actually feels like everything fits on the screen better and just looks nicer in general.I've played a lot of games on them(Diablo 3, DOTA 2, Dishonored, Crysis 2, and more...) and there is no ghosting problems or anything like that. Everything is fluid and there isn't any lag time between my input and what happens in the game.I ordered two of these at the same time, and one came without any problems but the other had a stuck green pixel. I've tried every method I could find to remove it but it wouldn't go away. I asked amazon about it and they offered to ship me a new one and said I could ship the defective one back after I got the new one. The new one came in perfect condition, so I shipped the original defective one back and have been using these every day since without any problems. It's been about 4-6 months since I bought them and they still feel and look brand new.The only complaint I have about these is that they both don't seem to be the same height. They're the exact same monitor, but the one on the right looks like it's about 5mm lower than the left one. It isn't really a problem at all but it would just be nice to have them line up 100% perfectly. It may just be because they're tilted a different way, so I might be able to fix it, but it isn't annoying at all really so I haven't bothered with that.So if you're looking for a new monitor, get this one!

I bought this monitor about 2 months ago and I have to say that I'am quite pleased with it. The colors on it look great after calibration. The monitor has a fast response time and low input lag. The design is aesthetically pleasing, though it has a somewhat cheap feeling to it. The monitor has 1 VGA, 1 DVI, a headphone jack (Headphone jack only works with HDMI) and an HDMI input. Out of the box it includes all the cables necessary for connecting your equipment except an HDMI cable. I mainly use the monitor with my Xbox 360 via HDMI and it looks great. I originally thought that 24" was going to be too big, but it fits perfectly on my desk with just barely enough room to spare with the shelf above the monitor. The monitor also comes with a 3 year warranty from Asus so I have peace of mind about my purchase. I highly recommend the Asus VS248H-P and will definitely continue shopping with Amazon.Since the monitor doesn't come with an HDMI cable here are some below.AmazonBasics High-Speed HDMI Cable (6.5 Feet/2.0 Meters) - Supports Ethernet, 3D, and Audio Return [Newest Standard]Mediabridge Ultra Series - High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet - (6 Feet) - Category 2 Certified - Supports 3D & Audio Return Channel [Latest HDMI Version Available]I personally bought my HDMI cable from Monoprice. I don't recommend ever buying an HDMI cable from a retail store because they are overpriced and will not perform any better than a $10 HDMI cable bought online.EDIT: I have had this monitor for just over a year now and it is still going strong. Very happy with my purchase and I don't think I could have bought a better monitor than this one for the price I paid back in October 2011.
