Excellent – I purchased this monitor about six weeks ago. It was well worth the money to get the 2ms response rate. You can pay $50 less and only get a 5 or 8ms refresh rate. This is the one for you if you are into online gaming. It came with both DVI and D-sub cables for connecting to your pc, so there was no having to go back to a shop to purchase a correct cable. Another plus, is that it is possible to view two full size documents or web pages at once without squinting. On the downside, the set up buttons located below the screen are stiff to depress, especially the on / off button. Another downside is that to take full advantage of the 16:9 widescreen view, I was required to purchase a 256meg video card. Shop around for this item. I paid only $499 at Austin's Computers in Rockingham WA. I did see it for $599 at Retravision, and their sales rep said he couldn't even buy it from his supplier for the price I purshased it for. 2 ms refresh rate. Both D-sub and DVI cables suppplied. Ability to have two full size documents open on the screen at once. Setup buttons below screen are stiff to depress.
Good – i think it is great monitor for my pc it gives true colours and size of viewing but i think the bad thing is its price i think if u can reduce it i will have one ASUS are becoming a major company selling computer components and it will give my computer a good look its shape and size its price
Good – Ive owned this monitor for 8months already. Have not had an issue with it. Love the crisp picture and the fact that you can view 2 documents on the same screen at the same time. Perfect for watching movies and playing games. It also has DVI and D-sub which is great. I reckon they should have got rid of the speakers and dropped the price of the monitor, no one that i know uses monitor speakers, they dont even sound that great. Anyways thats got nothing to do with the quality of the monitor, i think its good deal, especialy now that they are going around $400 brand new. 2ms , nice design no point in the speakers
Terrible – I got fed up with this monitor and it now sits in a cupboard gathering dust. Needless to say i bought a different model from a competitor. Not happy at all with this unit for the purpose i chose it. (connected to a laptop with a VGA connector) Good picture quality if you use any input other than VGA Good price Speakers are rubbish. (you wont use them if you want to listen to anything other than PC type sounds)
The VGA input is absolute rubbish !!!!! Worst picture i have seen in a long time. So fuzzy. I have tried other monitors (same model) and the are the same.
I at one stage stopped using the monitor connected to a PC (even though it was basically new). I turned it into a TV and the picture using digital input is very good. Sound is rubbish.

I've seen terrible monitors. This monitor when used for gaming in a cafe stands out like a light in a dark room compared to the surrounding ones for clarity, colour and looks. I don't think anything short of a $2000+ screen would make you happy mate
