The picture on this monitor is absolutely beautiful, as is the monitor itself.

PROS:

PHYSICAL CONSTRUCTION, stand included, is sturdy enough that I don't have to worry about knocking the monitor over or breaking it. TILTING the monitor is efforless, and it rotates up and down enough that I don't have to worry about my seat height, i.e., if I sit high and need to make the monitor face up to face me, it is easily done.

I don't do photography work, so I don't worry about calibration and so on, but the COLORS are vivid and clear. It has several convenient color modes, including a "warm" one, which I use in the evening to relax my eyes before bed.

The picture is very sharp. This is because such a high resolution is packed into a 21.5 inch screen. The PIXEL PITCH is as good as you will get in this generation's monitors that are in a usable size.

The VIEWING ANGLE is absolutely amazing.

Has a HDMI port for extra devices!

CONS:

None really.

Pros: I bought three of these to use in eyefinity mode with my new Radeon 6990. They have a fantastic crisp picture and work fantastically in eyefinity mode. Shipping was extremely fast. The stands seem to be a little unstable if the screens are bumped but when left alone the screen don't move (the screens aren't supposed to be bumped so I don't see this as a con. I checked all three of the screens for dead pixels upon receipt of which I could find none. I have had the screens for about a month and a half now without any problems.

Cons: None.

Overall, an excellent monitor.

I had very high expectations of this monitor after purchasing an Asus monitor back in 2010 with no problems. Unfortunately, right off the bat I had a bright green stuck pixel in the middle of the screen. I ran UDPixel, used the touch fix, tap fix, and tried every other potential fix I could find. It upsets me that people find it acceptable including the manufacturer to have up to 3 or 4 dead/stuck pixels before they consider it defective. I was surprised to see how many people mentioned the fact that that they had the same concern and still rated this 5 stars on here and Newegg. I understand once in awhile you will get a bad unit but the problem seems way too common on any of the current Asus monitors. This is probably the 5th LCD I purchased and never had any issues like this. My second gripe is the garbage stand that is included. I also see this mentioned in other reviews and once again people just breeze over it and still give it a 5 star rating. Third concern is the light bleed was terrible on the edges with a dark screen even with adjusting the backlight. Finally, the UI to change any of the scrren settings is the least user friendly I have seen on any monitor. I expected more from Asus and guess I'm upset that these design flaws are overlooked by the manufacturer. LCDs are not a new technology and these types of problems should have been worked on many years ago. I have returned this for a refund and currently have an LG on the way. We'll see how it goes.

Pros:

Cons:

Dead pixel

Light bleed from edges

Cheap base

I recently decided to bring my 22" Acer 1680x1050 to work and needed to buy another monitor for my laptop at home. After searching through the likes of Viewsonic and others, I finally landed upon this monitor.

The features that enticed me were:

1. The design (no extra clutter enducing additions)

2. The Contrast Ratio. ASCR ratio: 50 million to 1? By any standards that's insane.

3. The Audio-out port. (I don't care much for built-in speakers)

4. The Hdmi port of course

This monitor met all my needs and more! I love the physical buttons this monitor uses, something I'm scared more manufacturers are abandoning. The stand is sturdy pretty much all the time except when you're pressing the buttons since you need to press up on the very edge of the monitor (not a big deal).

Some things to take note of when you buy this monitor though:

1. Make sure if you're using an NVIDIA Graphics card that you change the color setting in its control panel. Don't use RGB; it produces washed out colors when using HDMI. On my computer, I have set the digital color format to YCbCr444 and that seems to have solved the issue.

2. Make sure your hdmi cable is properly shielded. On the 2nd day of use, I noticed a humming sound which I initially thought was from the monitor. It turned out to be coming from the speakers. After countless testing I narrowed it down to the cable and was able to diminish the noise a bit. (ASUS doesn't give us an HDMI cable with the purchase unfortunately)

Update 1: There's one thing I don't quite like about the monitor, and I'm not sure if there's any way around (please let me know if there is). When the monitor goes to sleep or I shut it off, music stops playing from the audio port. It would be nice to separate the sound coming from the hdmi cable to the operation of the monitor. Also, the monitor becomes an extremely bright blue just like a TV when there's no connection found as opposed to the pleasant black screen I was used to with the Acer. (not a huge deal)

Update 2: A minor issue, but an annoyance nonetheless. While the display itself is matte, the casing of the monitor is NOT. It's a little distracting to see light reflecting from the side of the monitor, but I'm not going to throw a fit over it. (As a point of reference, the Acer monitor I used before did not have a glossy casing, leading to optimal viewing. However, it seems they abandoned that casing too!)

Update 3: The sound coming from the speakers is back. It looks like there's no way to get rid of it. If there is music or sound playing the humming noise won't show up. However, since I have my computer connected it doesn't seem like a very good idea.
