ASUS Splendid Video Intelligence Technology employs a color engine with eight preset modes.

ASUS VT229H Reviews

Works great on consoles

By Angelo
Rated 5 out of 5

I purchased two of these and they work awesome. One is plugged into the Soundcraft Ui24 and the other is plugged in to the Onyx NX1. Both were plug and play with zero issues.

Excellent touch monitor for CNC

By Carl
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-12-13

So far, the monitor has been great for my CNC use. I have a Onefinity Woodworker X50 CNC that was purchased with a 10-inch screen. That screen fell and broke so I thought I would take advantage of this opportunity and buy something larger. I thought this would be too big, but I was wrong. This screen is perfect in size! I don’t do anything requiring high contrast or excellent colors so I can’t comment on that. But its clear display, great touch respond, and heavy stand makes it perfect for my needs. I’m a big fan of Asus anyway.

Is this Mac compatible?
Asked by: Matt
The monitor supports either VGA or HDMI. A MAC usually has a form of Display Port. You will need an Apple Video Adapter to connect this to the monitors video input. The Touch screen is connected through a USB Cable. However, Asus does not supply any MAC Drivers to support this. I'm not sure if the MAC will properly recognize the touch screen.
