Asus VA229HR 21.5” Monitor Frameless 1080P 75Hz IPS Eye Care HDMI VGA with 178° Wide Viewing Angle, Black

I bought this to use as a second monitor for gaming with my laptop, and I absolutely love it. I will say that I ordered this product for the price, and was expecting that, due to the low price, there would be some minor to moderate issues. I have been absolutely surprised at the value this screen provides for such a low price. The picture is bright, crisp and vibrant, and it was super easy to use. The monitor does have built-in speakers, and while the sound quality is nothing to write home about, they work perfectly for what I need. As a bonus, my wife, who is a professional photographer, uses it for editing her projects, and says the color and detail on it are great for her needs as well. I will be needing a 3rd monitor some time in the near future, and I will for SURE be buying another one of these.

The first thing I noticed was the excellent packaging. No way that screen was going to be bumped against during travel. So, then I unpacked it, plugged it into my small laptop (Acer Aspire) and checked out a number of saved videos I have. My pet peeve are dead or constantly turned on pixels. No dead pixels at all, great picture! Next I used my Panasonic RP-HT360 (not the cheapest, not the best) headphones with a very long cord. Sounds really good. The speakers are only 2.5 Watt. Do you expect anything from the speakers?It comes with a 5' (6'?) hdmi connector so a bit short, but I own a 10' long one. Since the monitor is HDCP, it runs blu-ray movies right out of my Sony blu-ray player (checked). It also acts as the monitor for my Mac Mini. A great deal of quality for a $99 monitor, first out 2019 so recent.

Tried using a LCD screen pixel fixer and applying pressure: it didn't work. I have heard negative things aboutASUS support online (including a policy that will refuse to compensate you unless six of the pixels are actually damaged), so I decided not to go through with the hassle of contacting them and just return it.Otherwise, it looks great, and there are a lot of helpful settings in the menu. However, I just invested a lot of money in a gaming setup, and upon personal inspection, 1080p for a monitor of this size is meh. I ended up getting a 1440p monitor from Pixio for ~150 bucks more, and I sure hope that one works as advertised.

I purchased an Asus monitor since they're a brand known for quality, and so far I'm happy. It was easy to set up (came with a stand you screw onto the monitor) and an HDMI cable (which is my only complaint, really - the reviews said that it didn't, that it came with a VGA cable, which is what my work laptop supports, so I had to scramble to find one). Since I have headaches, I wanted a monitor which is easy on the eyes, and this fits the bill. The picture is clear and crisp, and not a problem to adjust to one's preference. Perfect monitor for work from home, not too big but better than a laptop screen.

I wasn't sure about this monitor at this price. After unboxing, connecting it to my computer, I was impressed with the picture. This monitor is perfect, I know about about free returns, I won't need it, this one is a keeper.

I bought a matched pair of these and they are great! The color is perfect and they as so much sharper than what I had before on my desk. I love these two monitors!! I do not do gaming so I really cannot speak to how they work for that, but they never lag when playing videos on them.

Ordered this due to having to work at home and not strain my eyes on my small, work-provided, laptop screen. This is great - no need to use my "cheaters" and the option to extend my screen makes for online meetings and working really easy. Good value for the price!!

I was using these as dual monitors and one monitor would intermittently go black for no reason. I returned the monitor that was doing that and ordered a replacement, but the replacement did the same thing. And this was within a day or so of having them, so they weren't old. There is another review for this monitor that said it doesn't work well for dual monitors as it glitches and blacks out. That's exactly what happened to me.I also didn't think the screen resolution was very good. For all the talk about how these are great monitors for your eyes, the screen seemed pixilated and difficult to read compared to previous monitors.Would not recommend. I don't know how companies like this are not testing their equipment and just unleashing it on the public. Such a huge waste of time and resources, as the monitors will just take up space in a landfill.
