    [...]

    One of my criteria is to have built-in speakers. I don't have external speakers nor do I like more tangled wires. The speakers sound better than my old Viewsonic VA1912wb I replaced. That is a welcoming fact. Initially, there was a lot of waviness on screen. The troubleshooting guide suggested video connection as the issue. Turns out that it was my old VGA cable (I didn't want to craw behind the computer initially...). Once I hooked up with the new cable provided, it started working perfectly. I'm running Windows XP Media Center. After I turned off and on my computer, it recognized the new monitor and reset the resolution and refresh rate profile. It now runs at 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz. No driver is needed. I was afraid that I would need to update my video driver since I have a 4 yr+ old computer but I don't. With HDMI, DVI, and SPDIF Audio Output, it will be more than capable to handle my future computer (definitely not with Vista, though).

    By the way, i paid $170 after a $20 mail-in-rebate, just so you all know.

    I ordered two of these Asus monitors for use with my desktop. I believe they are absolutely gorgeous monitors. I tested each for dead pixels and found none. They colors are accurate and vibrant, and the screen is plenty bright. The edges are thin and glossy, giving the monitor a nice look. The screen itself is a matte finish so there is limited to no glare.

    I tested the monitor with a few blu-ray movies. The picture is stunning. I'm comparing these two monitors to an HP w2207, a relatively expensive monitor i purchased two years ago. The quality is the same if not better. I think for the price, these monitors are hard to beat. I cannot compare them to newer LED LCD monitors, but unless you have them side-by-side, i doubt one would notice any significant difference.

    I am using my own speakers and not the built-in ones so i cannot comment on them. I might add though that... Read more

    4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice value, August 13, 2009

    This review is from: ASUS VH236H 23-Inch Full-HD 2ms LCD Monitor (Electronics)
    PROS:
    - Every video connector you could possibly want
    - 23"
    - Very bright
    - Audio is adequate for a monitor
    - Dedicated input select button
    - No obvious dead pixels (knock wood)
    - Cables included: DSUB, DVI, male/male audio, AC power

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

    OTHER:
    This is a lot of monitor for the money! Blows everything in its price range away. If you need a general purpose monitor NOW and can get it cheap (rebate, free shipping, no tax) I recommend it. Though if you can wait, please do as LED backlighting is coming which will give you a potentially more efficient, reliable, inexpensive, lighter, and thinner monitor with significantly better color. I scratched the base before I could even turn it on for the first... Read more
