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 lower resolution than its entertainment friendly Full HD (1,920 x 1,080), doubtless a blessing to prospects who are confused with this kind of thing. If your resolution is gloomier but widescreen, the Asus will either display it 1:1 or aim to scale it without aspect distortion, while a non-widescreen resolution can lead to being offered the choice between Full (resulting in a horrible stretched image) or 4:3. Most significantly, so how exactly does the VW246H's image quality hold up? Keep in mind with TN-based displays, you will discover advantages and disadvantages. Within the plus side, horizontal viewing angles aren't the worst and backlight bleed is almost nonexistent. After wiggling with saturation settings, colours are relatively vibrant without being oversaturated.

Unfortunately, noticeable banding and also a slight lack of sharpness (bear in mind this setting at 100 per cent) combine with average greyscale performance and slight dithering to take some of the sheen away from the VW246H's performance. In all honesty it's really no worse than many TNs for most needs the picture quality can be deemed sufficiently good, however it doesn't surprise on any level.

The exact opposite can be said of the 2W built-in speakers, which are far better than we'd normally expect, delivering relatively rich audio at respected volume levels without obvious distortion. What's more, they even managed a hint of bass, all while keeping a rare level of depth and clarity. The reality is, we'd go as far as to say it's the best audio performance from a budget monitor yet, though this isn't to say it could 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 well above average, even so the Asus VW246H comes with a surprisingly good audio performance at an attractive price and features a lot of the input and output options you might need. If you are on a tight budget you can do far worse.
