Asus VS247H-P Review

Consumers generally like this monitor, but an expert's Asus VS247H-P review at PC World deems the display merely average, awarding it three out of five stars. The expert likes the picture quality, but hedges a bit, saying it's not on a par with other 23- and 24-inch monitors that cost a bit more. Still, the monitor wins points in Asus VS247H-P reviews for solid color and sharp text and for a price that keeps it in entry-level territory despite its upscale size. Users who posted Asus VS247H-P reviews at Amazon approve of its gaming chops and along with consumers who commented at Newegg, they praise the lush colors, sharp images, and brightness.

The Asus VS247H-P (starting at $179, Amazon) is a widescreen 23.6-inch LED display with 1920x1080 resolution. It boasts a mere 2ms response time and its brightness maxes out at 300cd/m, higher than that of most budget monitors. The VS247H-P includes an HDMI input, DVI-D input, and D-sub input and comes packaged with DVI and VGA cables. It can be mounted on a wall or tilted fore and aft, and it bears the Energy Star insignia.

The Asus VS247H-P is an affordable larger display that has some nice features, including an HDMI port and a very fast response time. You can kick up the brightness on this display quite a bit more than on other cheap monitors. Having said that, the Asus VS247H-P's performance isn't particularly outstanding. It's a good display, but the only realm in which it really stands apart from most other 24-inch displays is its low price.
