I just purchased this monitor--moving from an older IBM 21 inch CRT monitor and WOW what a difference! Just reclaimed what seemed like 4 square feet of desk space and not to mention the power bill also improved by probably $50 a month! Honestly though--great picture out of the box. Maybe a bit too vivid if I was being picky but I believe most people will love the picture it produces without any adjustments. I decided to breakout my calibration disk that I used on my HDTV so I set the resolution to 1920 x 1080 and then tweaked the contrast, brightness, etc and once done it was fantastic! Blacks are very good for an LCD--but do not expect plasma levels. Very quick refresh rate--I was a bit worried that when I play games that I would see ghosting--Nope. None. When playing HD video on ITunes, it looked very good. I highly recommend the monitor to anyone. The price/value ratio is the best I could find.

After using a 20 inch imac for over 3 years it was time to upgrade. The screen on the 20 inch had become unevenly lit, and had seen it's better days. I decided to upgrade to the new 24 inch imac decked out. After returning 3 yes 3 of them due to screen issues it was time to move on. I got a refund, and decided to purchase a mac pro so I could have control of the screen. I decided this monitor was the best for the money at the time. The first one I got had an obvious stuck pixel. It was green, and just about in the middle of the screen. Anymore I'm used to taking things back as now consumers are the quality control. A couple of button presses later I had another one on the way. I must say for an online retailer amazon has unbelievable customer service. The bad one was picked up at the same time the new one was delivered so I had no down time without a monitor. Thats very important when you just got a new computer that your dieing to get all set up!!! I never even had to talk to one person. Needless to say the replacement monitor was perfect! Maybe not quite as bright as the 24 inch imac, but it was too bright for extended use anyhow. The only problem I have with this monitor is when using a hdmi to dvi cable the monitor will not sleep with the computer. When using a dvi to dvi it sleeps perfectly. Not a big deal as I just turn it off when I leave. Probably saves more energy anyways. So to conclude I am very satisfied with this purchase from amazon.com! Thanks!

I did lots of research and comparisons before selecting the ASUS VW246H. Was very worried about getting bad pixels. I chose Amazon who has the best policy. Boy was the choice great! This monitor has no bad pixels and was perfect straight out of the box. Can't say anything at all critical about it. Huge! Awesome color, clarity, contrast and detail. Can't go wrong with this monitor or with Amazon. Free shipping to sweeten the deal.

I recently upgraded from a 22" Acer monitor and was going to buy a 24" Acer but found this one for less $$. Always trusted Asus with motherboards and now I trust them with monitors!

The quality is damn nice, and the 24" is a nice size for gaming and watching movies. I found the black for the monitor could have been a little darker, but in theater mode the black is adequate enough and overall the picture quality is sharp and there are no ghost effects with games (tested on high frames per second games such as Call of Duty: WOW).

Bottom Line: Cheap price, great quality!

This monitor was recommended to me by our IT tech at work due to its balance of features and high image quality at a moderate price. And he was right, it's a really excellent value. It has multiple inputs, including HDMI, a high contrast ratio, and is certainly big enough at 24". The aspect ratio is 16:9, corresponding to HD TV. I would have no problem using this to view DVDs in HD. Visitors to my office have commented how good the image looks. I'm very happy with this product and the price, and I'm considering buying one out of my own pocket for home.
