VZ249HE

Got this to replace the old 21" HP unit I'd been using as second monitor for my iMac - a friend needed a monitor in a hurry and they got the HP. It was a toss up between this Asus and a curved Samsung as my replacement - the Asus won (and was slightly cheaper into the bargain). Very impressed - sharp and good colour match to the iMac's own display (close enough for my eyes - I've a Spyder 4 to get a full calibration when/if I need it). Much better than the HP it replaced (and that had cost more when new). I can't comment on gaming or dynamic performance as I don't game and rarely watch video on my computer (and would use the default display for that, anyway). Update July 2020: I decided I needed a third monitor this week: a lot of videoconferencing and giving presentations over GoToMeeting (not my choice - I find Zoom friendlier) would be easier if I could split my viewing 3-ways. Ordered a second of these (the HDMI/DisplayPort version) - hooked up and discovered that, whilst my iMac video is capable of driving three, the available ports are not - the Thunderbolt hub can only drive one monitor, either HDMI or DisplayPort. I'd need a further Thunderbolt2 box to do it - and that's just moving into silly money. So my wife now has a two screen set up on her iMac. I'll need to replace my iMac next year (it's already 8 years old and, whilst it works fine, is beginning to fall out of Apples' support window); I'll make sure it has sufficient ports - but then it's a case of whether the Good Lady will relinquish her second monitor. She didn't really want a second one today but, once you have that luxury, it's difficult to go back to one! But my main point is that I found this monitor really good value and bought a second after a year of use!

I bought 2 of these monitors to replace a single/smaller monitor and what a difference. Physically they are very light and very thin (the main screen), with quite a solid base "arm" that's connected to the back of the monitor -- this levers out -- the round base stand screen to the bottom of the lever arm and you can easily do this with a small screw driver, a coin or with the handy clip thats connected to the screw. Setting them up is very easy, and it's mainly to screw the bottom in and remove the protective labels. The bezel on the edges is also very slim so having the two monitors side by side -- really gives a massive window/real estate for the destop to be supplied. Connections on this monitor are as described, power, via a small transformer and VGA or HDMI. Set-up and connection very easy and once I turned my PC on again, the 1st (and 2nd screen), where automatically recrognised so no changing any settings from the PC/screen management software. I'm running these two on a Nvidia GTX 660 grapshics card -- so quite an old card by todays's standards. 1st impressions both screens very sharp/clear and now a massive amount of space to run/appiclations and dock windows. This was main main reason for the purchase as my PC @ work is dual montior and if/when working at home found the productivity dropped due to having to juggle apps on the desktop. Very pleased with the buy and quality of these montiors for the price.

I needed to replace my old Samsung 19" monitor that was ~14 years' old. As I am not interested in playing games it is difficult to rate that particular feature, but the colour balance and screen quality is very good. I had considered the ASUS VS248HR (gaming 1ms) at a similar price point, but decided in favour of an IPS panel (~5ms). I have used someone else's VS248HR and would have been perfectly happy with that model, but for my needs (general use, browsing, images etc, viewing angles), the VZ249HE was my preferred choice. The first thing I did after plugging it in to my desktop machine, running Linux Mint (18.3, XFCE), was to calibrate it using Dispcal in conjunction with an X-rite i1Display 2 monitor calibration, which produced an excellent display. For its price I believe it is really good value, and when calibrated would be difficult to beat. The only things that I would say are its negative points which may be important for some people are: screen only tilts, no vertical adjustment; no Vesa mounting; separate power block; it does not come with an HDMI lead. For its price and quality of the display (calibrated), I think I would have had to spend a lot more to improve on this particular model.

I am a magazine publisher and bought this for an editor so overall colour quality etc. was not a priority, however for general work design work I think it is decent. Certainly not perfect, but more than passable. As a monitor for general work though it is very good, plus it is attractive too!

A great monitor for anybody wishing to boost their screen real-estate. I use mine for my MacBook Pro and it runs really smoothly. You can easily run two full a4 size windows side by side with room for side-bars etc. Great for productivity without having too much unused space. Pros: Good colour accuracy (vibrant) Very bright (adjustable) Blue light adjustment (Eye-Saver) Nice and wide Cons: Lacks sharpness with small text May appear slightly grainy when very close up (But that is acceptable since it is only 1080p) A budget monitor with a high-end aesthetic, solid construction and excellent for all round productivity.

I remember when I first purchased this monitor (about 8 months ago now) I was very unhappy that it didn't come with speakers. The listing was very confusing and I believed I'd bought the model with speakers - I hadn't! After getting in touch with the seller the seller agreed to refund £15 which went towards the cost of 2 speakers. Since the confusion I've had no issues. No dead pixels, clean bright screen, powers on instantly. It's not particularly bulky and doesn't really wobble on my desk. Does exactly what I need now and isn't glossy :)

I don't really have much to compare it to, as my other monitor is a TN panel 144 hz monitor. But yes, the quality on this one is a lot better, the colours are warmer. My only issue is the coil whine, not sure if others have the issue too. As long as the monitor is plugged in ( and for a few minutes after ), there's a very quiet coil whine. You probably won't hear it though, I'm just picky about these things at night, so I unplug it.

I got this monitor as a second screen for my laptop in order to work from home and I couldn't be more satisfied. It's slightly bigger than the monitors we have at work and I was used to, bit after getting used to this one, I must say I prefer the size. The image quality is great, bright colours and greets brightness. Very pleased with my purchase and it arrived very promptly and in excellent condition.

Super

Flatscreen pünktlich geliefert, alle Komponenten dabei und sehr gut verpackt. Auflösung gut und flimmerfrei was für die Augen empfehlenswert ist. Kann den Bildschirm weiterempfehlen.

très belles images, écran raisonnablement grand. Ultrafin

Monitor stupendo! Utilissima la funzione, che io ho usato immediatamente, per non far stancare e appesantire gli occhi. Col vecchio monitor avevo iniziato a soffrire di questo, perciò ho comprato un nuovo monitor e devo dire che finalmente ho risolto il problema degli occhi rossi e che dopo ore mi bruciavano. Qualità delle immagini eccellente e bellisimo design. Buon prezzo e ottima marca. Non c’è altro da aggiungere.

Parfait, bonne qualité et fonctionne bien. J'aime aussi le style avec contours blancs
