What's great about it: High Definition, folds over for easy cable connection
What's not so great: Poor speakers
I love this monitor. I hooked it up to my laptop and I use it as my main display, it's great being able to slide windows from one monitor to the other. I was able to get a very cheap HDMI cable elsewhere and I'm loving 1080p. Overall the ample space that you get from such a big display is great! The speakers aren't great, although I'm not worried because my laptop has very good speakers and I normally use headphones anyway.
This product has... Attractive design, Easy to setup, Poor quality speakers, HDMI connection

What's great about it: great price, LED, HDMI, built in speakers
This monitor is probably one of the best you can get if you compare price to specs. You get LED back lit and HDMI all for about $150. Most monitors would be closer to $200 if you wanted both of those options. Images are crisp and the colors are very vibrant.
Only thing is that it is a bit bulky. Not overly huge, I would say normal size. But its not the slimmest monitor.

What's great about it: Image quality, HDMI connection, Does not take a lot of space, and Budget friendly!
What's not so great: Poor Sound Quality
I love this monitor. I primary use this to play my XBOX360 and watch stuff on Netflix and Hulu. I will admit that I am not all that familiar with ASUS and their products. For what it's worth, I say I got a steal. The image quality is great. It does what I got it for. The only problem is that the sound is not the loud, but I don't care THAT much since I have speakers and there is a jack to connect them. For a 21.5" monitor, it is bigger than what I thought it be. For being a 21.5" monitor, it does not take up a lot of space on my desk. Overall, this is a great product for what I paid for and do not regret buying it one bit! I recommend this to anyone and everyone!

What's great about it: The graphics, HDMI, Full HD, DVI, VGA, Price
What's not so great: Speakers are a bit quiet but not worth complaining about
This is by far the best monitor for the price and value. I searched around a bit and got this one, and so glad I did. The look of the monitor is far better then others i looked at as well. Has a gloss finish, with the power button out of sight (red on standby and blue when on, and glows downward). Graphics are awesome. Dont judge this by others comments saying they had bad video with HDMI, they just have bad hardware. Im running full HD on mine and it looks flawless. Speakers are quiet but are you really looking to buy a monitor with built in speakers? You wont be disappointed on this monitor. Im looking forward to getting a 2nd for duel monitors. Im also using this for my 360. By far the best one, and best looking one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: price/image
What's not so great: video poor with hdmi input from pc/sound quality
Image is not so good with HDMI input from my PC, so I had to use the DVI input. This is not a huge deal, but I had to use a speaker cable as well.
The sound quality is so-so, but I don't use this PC for gaming so it is adequate.
The monitor was just right for the price. I would purchase the same one again for this application.
I would recommend this to a friend!
