The Asus Vh242h Review - Will it be The most effective Asus Gaming Monitor?

By Steven Atkil


Aspect ratio adjustments are greyed out unless the monitor detects a lesser resolution than its entertainment-friendly Full HD (1,920 x 1,080), doubtless a blessing to prospects who will be confused with this sort of thing. If the resolution is lower but widescreen, the Asus will either display it 1:1 or aim to scale it without aspect distortion, while a non-widescreen resolution will result in being offered the selection between Full (resulting in a very horrible stretched image) or 4:3. Most significantly, how does the VW246H's image quality manage? Of course with TN-based displays, you will discover pros and cons. Over the plus side, horizontal viewing angles aren't the worst and backlight bleed is virtually nonexistent. After twiddling with saturation settings, colours are relatively vibrant without having to be oversaturated.

Unfortunately, noticeable banding as well as a slight lack of sharpness (regardless of this setting at 100 percent) match average greyscale performance and slight dithering to take some of the sheen off the VW246H's performance. To tell the truth it's really no worse than many TNs and for most needs the look quality will be deemed sufficient, but it ceases to surprise on any level.

The opposite can be stated on the 2W integrated speakers, which are much better than we'd normally expect, producing relatively rich audio at reputable volume levels without recognizable distortion. In addition, they have even managed an indication of bass, all while maintaining a rare amount of depth and clarity. In actual fact, we'd go as far as to express it is the best audio performance originating from a budget monitor yet, though this is simply not to say it might replace even half decent headphones or discrete speakers.

Value is the one other strong point with this display. Although average price for it is above the 210 mark, bringing it in accordance with most monitors sporting this type of size and connectivity, it is usually found for less than 190 online.

Verdict

Even for a TN-based model image quality is average, however the Asus VW246H gives a surprisingly good audio performance at a beautiful price and features a lot of the input and output options you may need. If you are within a strict budget you could potentially do far worse.
