Asus VA229HR 21.5” Monitor Frameless 1080P 75Hz IPS Eye Care HDMI VGA with 178° Wide Viewing Angle, Black

I bought this to use as a second monitor for gaming with my laptop, and I absolutely love it. I will say that I ordered this product for the price, and was expecting that, due to the low price, there would be some minor to moderate issues. I have been absolutely surprised at the value this screen provides for such a low price. The picture is bright, crisp and vibrant, and it was super easy to use. The monitor does have built-in speakers, and while the sound quality is nothing to write home about, they work perfectly for what I need. As a bonus, my wife, who is a professional photographer, uses it for editing her projects, and says the color and detail on it are great for her needs as well. I will be needing a 3rd monitor some time in the near future, and I will for SURE be buying another one of these.

The first thing I noticed was the excellent packaging. No way that screen was going to be bumped against during travel. So, then I unpacked it, plugged it into my small laptop (Acer Aspire) and checked out a number of saved videos I have. My pet peeve are dead or constantly turned on pixels. No dead pixels at all, great picture! Next I used my Panasonic RP-HT360 (not the cheapest, not the best) headphones with a very long cord. Sounds really good. The speakers are only 2.5 Watt. Do you expect anything from the speakers?It comes with a 5' (6'?) hdmi connector so a bit short, but I own a 10' long one. Since the monitor is HDCP, it runs blu-ray movies right out of my Sony blu-ray player (checked). It also acts as the monitor for my Mac Mini. A great deal of quality for a $99 monitor, first out 2019 so recent.

A great monitor with sharp color, wide range of settings that are easy to adjust to your liking, and an overall clear display that should be more than enough for semi-serious gaming or anything else you might need it for. The built in speakers aren't the greatest and the stand could do to be less wobbly, but these are incredibly minor problems and the monitor as a whole is well worth the price.

I purchased an Asus monitor since they're a brand known for quality, and so far I'm happy. It was easy to set up (came with a stand you screw onto the monitor) and an HDMI cable (which is my only complaint, really - the reviews said that it didn't, that it came with a VGA cable, which is what my work laptop supports, so I had to scramble to find one). Since I have headaches, I wanted a monitor which is easy on the eyes, and this fits the bill. The picture is clear and crisp, and not a problem to adjust to one's preference. Perfect monitor for work from home, not too big but better than a laptop screen.

I wasn't sure about this monitor at this price. After unboxing, connecting it to my computer, I was impressed with the picture. This monitor is perfect, I know about about free returns, I won't need it, this one is a keeper.

I bought a matched pair of these and they are great! The color is perfect and they as so much sharper than what I had before on my desk. I love these two monitors!! I do not do gaming so I really cannot speak to how they work for that, but they never lag when playing videos on them.

Ordered this due to having to work at home and not strain my eyes on my small, work-provided, laptop screen. This is great - no need to use my "cheaters" and the option to extend my screen makes for online meetings and working really easy. Good value for the price!!

I purchase this monitor because I thought it was going to be the perfect side monitor for a portrait orientation. However, as other reviewers have pointed out, its claimed ability to rotate 90 degrees to portrait mode is non-existent. It also is not height adjustable, etc. I know Asus has a large product portfolio so its difficult to review every time that’s being sold, but now I’m skeptical about purchasing from them because I don’t want to go through the hassle of having to purchase an item, receive it and unbox it just to find out if its what I thought I was buying in the first place.

Excelente equipo en calidad y precio.

The sound volume is very low, and cannot adjust the high. this is not what you like.

Excelente producto, lo único malo es que al llegar venía solo en su caja sin ninguna protección y venia maltratada y golpeada pero todo bien por dentro!!

Lo uso como segundo monitor de una lap. La verdad es que he aumentado mi rendimiento. No se si sea para juegos, pero para trabajo de oficina está excelente

I work in Accounting, and I love gaming after work - I've got 3 of these monitors set up and I'm getting a refresh rate of 75Hz on all ^_^ it is what it is - you get the utility you pay for - and it's been working very well for me~ Cheers!
