ASUS VH226

First post, just for practice, mostly.
Video unboxing in HD!





Pros: High resolution, low price, good brand. Lots of inputs. Bought two - one for work and one for my wife's computer - no problems with either, no dead pixels, brightness and colors are consistent between the units. My "blacks are black", but I have the higher-contrast version of this screen (VH222H). Many cables included. Excellent for daily business computing, occasional movie watching, and casual FPS gaming.

Cons: I could only afford two ;-)

Complex/annoying menu. The auto-seeking input selector will switch to another input when your display falls asleep, so your display may not fall asleep until all your devices fall asleep.. which won't happen at all with some devices (like DVD players, Satellite/TV set-top boxes, etc). This also means that you can't select another input without first waking the target device from sleep. Worse speakers ever. Must manually configure 4:3 when applicable. No HDMI cable included. Altogether, I take one egg for these problems.

Other Thoughts: Note, I own the nearly identical version of this monitor, the VH222H, which is no longer in stock here on NewEgg. The differences being that this, the VH226, has a lower contrast ratio but a faster refresh rate.

This display is a TN screen which means that colors will shift depending on the viewing angle. How much this bothers you will depend on how much color consistency matters to you and from how far you view the monitor. This is certainly not a good thing, but it isn't really a con for a monitor at this price. If this bothers you, consider a smaller TN monitor on which the problem would exist but would be less significant, or invest in a more expensive VA or IPS based display.
