Last week, I got bored of my 2 x 19" + 17" 4:3 lcd screens. I am an electronic / firmware developer and the software are designed to use widescreen monitor (with side bar that remove a lot of space). So I decided to buy a brand new screen.
First you have to know that I hate the brand benq/acer. The first computer I ever bought with my own money had a 28,800 acer modem with a acer motherboard. I've had a lot of problems with their hardware. A lot of crashes, modem not working as it should ... They were producing low cost material, with the quality that is as low as their price. 10-15 years later, I am a sysadmin in a small business and they were having few acer laptops. Every user complaining about those computer. So, acer screen are not expensive, and they are low quality and place an acer screen near an LG screen, you will be surprised to see that the LG is a lot brighter! So I did not ever looked for that brand.
So, after comparing, chosing ... I came across the VE247H 23.6" with speaker and a refresh rate of 2ms!! 10000000:1 contrast ratio, these are very nice specs (for more information all the specs are available on the asus website http://www.asus.com/Monitors_Projectors/VE247H/#specifications ). In the online reviews, the worst comment was about the power led light that was bright orange (now it is light blue).
When I plugged the screen the colors are perfect (1080 full hd) the refresh rate is also very nice.
The problem I have with that screen is the stuck pixels. There are at least 15 including a big blue in the middle of the screen, and since I like to develop with a dark background it is annoying. There is 8-10 in the same square cm on the top. I have contacted asus support and they are working to send me a new one (they can ship the new one before I send the broken one and they pay both shipping).
This review is to be continued.... when I will get the new screen.
