Manufacturer's Description
ASUS VH Series LCD monitors excel at displaying multimedia, making them ideal for users who consume media across multiple platforms and in a variety of formats. An HDMI port enables the delivery of multichannel audio and uncompressed digital video through a single cable, and ensures convenient connectivity with other home entertainment devices, such as Blu-ray Disc players and game consoles. A perfect aspect ratio of 16:9 allows most widescreen content to be played back impeccably—without the additional black bars or image distortion that would be introduced on 16:10 monitors.

Awesome Monitor
This is a great monitor. I upgraded from a 3 year old 19 inch LCD HP monitor that i got when i bought my computer.

I bought this one mainly for the fact it has HDMI input for my PS3 and for the Size of the screen.

I was amazed at how much bigger it is compared to my old one. Its only 4 inches bigger but seems much more.

The picture quality is fantastic, especially when playing PS3 in full 1080p HD. The 3 inputs are very handy as I have my PC connected with VGA, my Xbox 360 with DVI and my PS3 with HDMI, all 3 can be acsessed with just one button.

Overall i would highly recommend this monitor as it is very good value for money.

Fantastic monitor...fantastic price
Took delivery of this monitor today, and boy am I glad I bought it.

First up, what came in the box:
Monitor (obviously)
Stand
Two power cords - one with the 3 pin UK plug, and one with the 2 pin european style - may actually be US??)
One VGA cable
One DVI cable
One audio cable
CD
Manual

Setting the monitor up was very straight forward - the screen just clips onto the stand, all the cables fit neatly and easy to do so.

I have this plugged into my Mac Mini via DVI and had absolutely no problems getting a picture.

There are about 5 or 6 buttons on the front for Power, switching between DVI/VGA/HDMI etc, and On Screen Menu

Yep, this monitor can be used with HDMI for your blu-ray or xbox etc, and you can use DVI or VGA for your computer.

Screen is very clear, though I had read that some people need to adjust the brightness the first time - but I haven't

For the £185 that I paid, this monitor seems to be extremely good value for not only size, but also the fact it has DVI, VGA and HDMI.

I believe there are speakers in the monitor, but haven't tried using them - again, other reviews indicate they are "ok" quality.

Excellent Monitor, Excellent Price!
After looking at many different 24-26" LCD monitor specs and comparing prices, I decided to order the 'Asus 24" VH242H' because it features impressive specs (24" screen size, inbuilt speakers, 2 audio outputs (digital and analogue) so you can hook it up to a sound system, full 1920x1080p HD resolution, HDMI, DVI, VGA ports, and offered the best value for money compared to the other LCD monitors I looked at. It also comes with DVI and VGA leads.

I have owned the Asus 24" VH242H LCD monitor for 4 days as of writing this review and have been using it between 7-9 hours each day to perform work related tasks, play PC/Playstation 3 games and watch Blu ray Discs.

Although the monitors default image settings set by the manufacture offered a good overall picture quality, I decided to invest 15 minutes fine tuning the image settings to achieve the perfect image and colour.

Once I had finished fine tuning the image settings, games and high definition content look and play amazingly on this monitor, even better than on my 42" Philips 1920x1080p HD Television!

The monitor feels and looks great! For a monitor of this size (24") It is surprisingly light to pick up by hand and move to the desired location you wish to put it.

This is the perfect monitor for PC work related tasks and PC/Playstation 3 gaming.
