This is a truly quality monitor. I really wanted the viewsonic 23" that was 1080p and LED but quite honestly after having 2 of them shipped to me and returning both, its real subpar compared to this ASUS monitor. You really get what you pay for and having a larger screen is pointless if the colors are off and you don't like it. That's another thing I really liked about this monitor compared to viewsonic's. Despite the ASUS being smaller by an inch and a half, its colors are truer and its blacks seem very deep. I like that. I also like that this monitor has buttons to adjust volume, brightness, signal input and even screen mode (scenerey, game mode, theater, night view, standard). Though these presets can be changed too, I found that an 80 brightness, 70 contrast, and 53/55 saturation were best for my gaming. Try not to get caught up in color configuration is my main point. And honestly, drop the brightness level. You will save so much strain to your eyes and add more life to the monitors backlight (even though LED's are so efficient nowadays). I am also pleased with the monitor's subtlety. Unlike the viewsonic, there isn't any advertisement of HDMI or LED or 1080P on the frame like some other monitors do. This just has a simple Asus name on bottom and small HDMI on the top left.
Major important things to know about this monitor!!! There are **2** 3.5mm sound input jacks. One that is green is for any audio you want through your monitor and the one that is extremely hard to notice is black and should be farthest out. This black one carries input from the monitor to headphones (for example). So with my Xbox 360 or PS3, I have them connected via HDMI and have my headphones connected to the black input of the monitor.
My only complaint (and this is with ALL monitors) is that the base is not heavy enough and I really wish they would just fill them with lead. lol. I mean for such a nice monitor the base could be a bit heavier and the "stem" (where base connects with monitor) could be more firm. But aside from that its really a nice monitor and I don't see many that offer HDMI for under $200. So good job ASUS!
The speakers are pretty basic, as one would expect, but they are good enough to watch HDTV, or tell what the PC is up to, or listen to a CD at low fidelity. Sound quality is better than a laptop. One nice thing is the monitor is not bulky, and you can't even tell the monitor has speakers just by looking at it. The earphone jack works fine -- I had no issues like others have suggested. It does seem to cut out the monitor speakers when you a stereo plug in, like it should, but you could also just turn the monitor volume down if it did not. For about $45 you can add excellent sound if you plug a 2.1 PC speaker system with a subwoofer into that 3.5 mm earphone jack. The best sound quality and volume is achieved by going HDMI from the PC or TV cable box to the monitor. If instead you send video to the monitor via DVI or VGA cable and then take the sound from the PC using a 3.5mm audio cable, you will find that sound volume and quality are diminished, whether you route it through the monitor or not.
Now that I've gotten all the good out of the way, I'll move on to the bad things, which are very few in number. I have only two major complaints. First, you can't raise or lower the screen. This, for me, is a rather big deal. You can tilt it, but only a little. Due to the fact that this thing has a poor viewing angle, it can be difficult to find a good spot on your desk for this without some space adjustments (my desk is a mess, so perhaps I can't pin my messy habits on the screen). The inability to raise or lower the screen brings me to my second complain, which is that the HDMI port (and, from what I've seen, all the other ports) is underneath the screen. The monitors I've had in the past did the same thing, but they were on the BACK of the monitor, raised up, so that there was more room for your cords. This is not the case with this monitor. As I have not had many newer monitors in the past, I do not know if this is considered the norm or not. If you have a thick HDMI (or other cables) cable, good luck getting it to stay safely and securely plugged in without bending or breaking the pins.
Oh, and as an afterthought, that instruction manual (if you can call it that) is totally worthless- it makes no sense. This might be an ASUS thing though, so again perhaps I can't complain about it in this one specific case (I've only had one other ASUS product before, my motherboard, and the handbook for that was very well done)
All in all, this is a great monitor, and I would recommend it to anyone whose monitor budget is around 150 bucks- I don't think you can find many better options than this. To summarize my points..
Pros
-Nice features, although the manual is absolutely worthless in teaching you how to use them.
-Sleek, modern look.
-Speakers. Although I haven't used them, I know most monitors I've had in the past don't have built-in speakers.
-Beautiful resolution, very high definition indeed.
-Easy to setup- in my case, I didn't find it necessary to fiddle with any menus or options, I just plugged it in right away and it worked perfectly with my brand new video card.
Cons
-Easy to scuff the monitor's surfaces.
-Cable ports on the far bottom of the monitor, resulting in potential bending of important cords or pins unless you elevate the monitor on something like a stack of books (I'm too paranoid to raise my monitor more than needed)
-Can't raise or lower the monitor, only tilt.
-Awful instruction manual.
Top reviews from other countries
This monitor has be brilliant for me and I can't find a single fault with it, I bought it for gaming, watching YouTube videos and a little bit of photo editing. After having used it for over a month now I can safely say this is one of the best monitors for the price on the market. Probably end up buying a second.
The integrated speakers are OK at best if you have no other alternative but it has an output for headphones/external speakers. The monitor is made from a shiny black plastic which means that it is a real fingerprint magnet and it is really easy to scratch. I was careful but after a week of using it I already have a big scratch on the bezel.

La calidad del diseño es buena es pesado y no es muy ancho.
Los juegos se ven muy bien y funciona tal cual esperaba.
Obviamente las bocinas son de baja calidad y solo sirven en casos específicos.
El menú es algo molesto de configurar.
Lo recomiendo, pero también es bueno revisar otras opciones antes.
