ASUS VH236H 23 Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black


Advantages:
- Each video terminal, you can
- 23 "
- Very light
- Sound is adequate for a screen
- Dedicated INPUT SELECT button
- No obvious dead pixels (knock wood)
- Cables: SUB, DVI male / male audio, AC

Cons:
- Limited vertical viewing angle!
- Cumbersome menu / buttons
- Highly polished bezel and base scratch easily
- Volume control buried in menus
- No LED backlighting (not advertised as such)

OTHER:
This is a big screen for the money! Fan everything in its price range away. If you need a general screen now and can get it cheap (discounts, free shipping, no tax) I recommend it. But if you can wait, you can do with LED backlight is going to give you a potentially more efficient, reliable and affordable, lighter and thinner screens with much better color. I scratched the base before I could even turn it on for the first time, not a big fan of the shiny plastic designs. The volume is adequate if you turn up (85% or more). Biggest con is the vertical viewing angle - no matter how I sit I can not get rid of the "dark sky" effect. It's almost as if there is no backlight at the top, just the bottom. This is common with most modern LCD screens themselves. Base is not very thin, no vertical adjustment, tilt is good. I'm not a big fan of the current wide craze, and consider a square screen would be perfect. Has watched 1920 x 1200 in stores and prefer the ratio of 16:10 to 16:09 this, but they are still quite expensive. Note: This is a plug-n-Play monitor and does not require a driver in XP! Even the box it comes in, it will easily survive pretty rough shipping because it is robust with lots of foam inside. Amazon double-box the mine that made me feel even better about it, go home.
