External Tuner: ASUS MS238H - 23-Inch Wide LED Monitor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)---Full 1080 HD. Do not be fooled by these others monitors claiming 'high-def'

---Weighs 7 pounds, not 27, making it adjustable with the push of a finger

---The response time is 2ms...not 5ms(gamers will understand the magnificence of this wonderful feature)

---About as thick as my thumbnail

---$200 bucks....are...you...kidding....me......this monitor is well worth $300-350 when compared to all the old prehistoric garbage still being pushed out there for more money that it cost to buy this one.

---10 million to 1 dynamic ratio. People say, "Dynamic ratio is just a sales crutch," but I DARE you to find another monitor out there even remotely close. You wont because no one else has such technology out yet besides what is inside this monitor. If you do find something close, I bet it is at the very least 100-200 bucks more and only around 1 million to 1. 10 million to 1, enough said here.

---Perfect for watching Hulu and blu-ray with the ol' lady (you can watch from anywhere in the room)

---The touch-screen buttons work phenomenally and even better than the ones on my 3 grand 52" inch Samsung LCD television in my living room. People complaining about this feature probably still use rotary dialer phones.

---Doesn't look like a computer monitor, so when time to upgrade in 5 years, it will be great for the kitchen and no one will ever think "Well, that is ghetto, this guy just put his old computer monitor in his kitchen."

---The games I play, Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Team Fortress 2, have never looked better. I actually did not know they could look this good, even when I had full settings on before. My 19" Dell monitor had 8ms and now this Asus FLIES at 2ms...are you kidding me?! TWO MS....this is as fast as my Razor(Deathadder) gaming mouse. Not only can I alt+tab lightning fast now, but there is no distortion in my game anymore after leaving a game minimized for a while. I knew I was getting an amazing monitor, but I had NO clue it would enhance my video card so much. I seriously feel like I upgraded to running dual video cards(cross-fire). Screw buying a new video card when you can kill two birds with one stone by getting this Asus monitor. ---The only cons to this monitor are in the lack of assembly direction. Although super easy to setup(almost instant), the directions leave out the fact that you have to pop-out a plastic piece from the back-side to screw in the single screw for the stand(no tools needed). Figuring this out took me about one minute extra but I can see how it might cause some serious confusion. The piece is not 'ripped out' but actually has pieces that pop in and out, if you save the piece you could pop it back in.

---------On a happy side note here, I was able to look at this square piece closely and truly examine the beauty of this monitor's paint job. From a distance(1-2 feet) it looks black but it actually has super fine blue sparkles glossed into the paint, which makes it worth about $500 dollars more than it cost. It is a beautiful piece of art.

---------On another happy side note, there are some complaints about the stand. I have no qualms about it whatsoever. It looks badass; my friends are like "that is badass." The screen starts much lower than my previous 19" Dell stand could even be pushed down to. I would estimate that the screen starts 2-3 inches from my desk...my center of vision could not be better placed. There is no 'wobbling' at all with this monitor and it never will. The tilting back a few degrees is a non-issue, trust me.

---The only other lacking direction is not actually due to the monitor but from a video card manufacturer, ATI/AMD. I have an ATI Radeon HD 4850 and after reading some reviews on NewEgg(more expensive) for this product, I found the solution. The monitor was showing a 1" black border around the display(only when set to full 1920×1080), and all I had to do was download the Catalyst Control Center from ATI/AMD website and set my 'Scaling Options' to 0% Overscan. Problem solved. Note: Other brand video cards do not have this issue.---One last good thing, more-so for you, not me...you no longer have to read boring ass reviews on websites that make it hard to read reviews and strain your eye sockets, as this will be the last review you will need to read. I mean, do not take my word for it, read the other reviews on this lovely piece of art. But once you can't read reviews anymore, you will remember this review and be like, "That one guy on the internet was right, I should have stopped reading after seeing his review because I can't find anything as good as the Asus." Then you will get this monitor and see for yourself. Free shipping!
