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

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.

First and foremost, the advertised refresh rate of 120 hz is completely false. This is a standard 60 hz monitor. Theres also something horribly wrong with the contrast; its like its perpetually low. Even at high contrast, all of the colors are far too pale. All shades of black blend together and it cant come remotely close to displaying a real black. I spent a solid 2 hours trying every combination of settings possible to fix this, with no success. I cant see any reason for anyone to buy this monitor.

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...

Advertised as 120 hz, but you wont even get 75. You wont get deep colors on this either, the whole display looks washed out. I spent about 15 minutes trying to improve colors, but resulted in no meaningful improvements. This monitor offers nothing more than other cheap bargain monitors, but is about 10-20 dollars more expensive. For a cheap 1080 60hz monitor, save some money and get the AOC E2270SWHN instead. For gaming at the advertised 120 hz? Forget it. Out-right false advertising.

Its so incredibly foggy and unclear, I get that its a fairly cheap panel but its like they didnt apply a polarization filter correctly or something. I had to set the monitor settings to make it less straining and then change my GPU display settings to make it viewable after. It still looks awful but I needed a monitor the next day instead of waiting on a replacement. On the pros side of things its kind of massive so thats neat? The viewing angles pretty bad however so you better be mounting this at eye level and never changing the set up. My desk leaves the center of the screen about 3 below my eye level and I have to prop the screen up so its tilted at an angle to be viewable in good color with less light bleed around the bezel. Just buy a slightly more expensive monitor for less disappointment unless this is a second display you just want and dont actually need to look at.

It’s a good gaming monitor for what your paying and it’s a good deal but the brightness is bad on this even after messing around with the settings it was still not as good and my other ones in the past

Just a bit pricy for my taste, but this was recommended by my partner and I do not regret this purchase. The parameters are just perfect to me.

Use this monitor when I get home to get a larger sharper image.

Bought this monitor because I thought it would be an upgrade to my previous Asus Monitor, which was starting to fail and requires a warm up period. Returned the monitor because it did not have any real blacks. Was too bright and had a yellow tint, the latter of which can be adjusted. Set the brightness down as low as it will go, but still had grey blacks. If that is not a problem for you, it might be good. After some shopping, I think there are better monitors for just as cheap. The Acer SB220Q IPS seems like a good pick for the price, even though it has its own issues (that can be fixed).

I love multitasking with this monitor. The settings are easy to adjust. Ive had it for over a year and no problems so far!
