The VH224U 22" 16:10 Widescreen Monitor from ASUS is a monitor focused both on beautiful, clear images and on comfort. The ergonomic design includes high-degree viewing angles, 25° of tilt and a small desktop footprint. A high dynamic contrast ratio displays vivid images, and Splendid Video Intelligence Technology provides five video modes and three skin tone modes, giving you complete control over the image on your screen.

High-resolution Digital Content Display
The screen has the 16:10 golden ratio for viewing comfort. It's able to fit two A4 size pages on one screen, doubling working efficiency. Wide viewing angles make the VW224U perfect for allowing multiple users to view high-quality DVD images. The 16.7 million display colors deliver rich and colorful images, and dual inputs of VGA and DVI (with HDCP support) allow the monitor to be used with a variety of sources. The monitor is certified for Windows Vista Premium.
ASCR Technology
ASCR (ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio) Technology automatically adjusts the luminance of the backlight for better displays according to the image contents, and improves the contrast ratio to 5000:1, resulting in more realistic depictions of night scenes when playing games or watching movies.
Trace Free Technology
Trace Free Technology delivers 2ms (GTG) quick response time, providing smoother video display and eliminating image delay and ghosting during speedy games or fast-paced movies.
Display 4:3 Contents Perfectly on Widescreen
Aspect control function enables 4:3 contents without image distortion on the widescreen.
Splendid Video Intelligence Technology
Splendid Video Intelligence Technology adopts a color engine to detect activation and usage of video applications and automatically optimizes image quality with intelligent color, brightness, contrast, and sharpness corrections for the best visual results. Splendid Technology offers 5 video modes designed for scenery, theater, gaming, night view, and standard images, 3 skin tones of yellowish, natural and reddish to add a human touch to videos on PC. You can see optimized images on screen and select five modes via hotkey quickly at your will.
Ergonomic Design
With tilt adjustment, you no longer have to contend with improper sitting postures or awkward viewing angles. Adjust the viewing angle according to your line of sight to enjoy greater comfort for long hour usage.
Built-in hidden stereo speakers allow for multimedia enjoyment without having to purchase external speakers.
Convenient key controls facilitate easy setup using the multi-language OSD.
Cable manager gets rid of tangling cables and wires.

      I purchased this monitor to complement my smaller laptop screen, and it works just as expected. It comes with all the necessary cables so you're ready to go right out of the box. The picture quality is excellent, and I cannot find any defects in either the screen or the case.

      I was slightly disappointed at the lack of a vertical adjustment feature on the stand, but I had no trouble adjusting it to a comfortable position. Also, the bundled VGA cable was of very poor quality, so I had to purchase a very cheap HDMI to DVI cable to thwart the interference I was receiving.

      Overall, this is an excellent, quality product. Highly Recommended!

      This monitor received very good reviews from others but provided disappointing viewing results. Monitor was too bright, a problem with TN type displays though this spec was not mentioned. Alternating vertical bands of dark and light could be seen across white pages of printed text. Turning on Clear text in Windows helps, but viewing still is unsatisfactory--even with brightness set at zero.

                  This my primary computer monitor for two computers as I have a KVM switcher. The picture quality is excellent. The speakers are so convenient but if your an audiophile guy they are not gonna blow you away.

                  The back heats up a little warm in comparison to my old monitor but other than that it's a good buy.
