I bought it over the internet for A$180, which as far as I'm concerned was a good price. It would appear to be a near-perfect balance of cost and performance. It's got the specs of a higher priced monitor but a cost usually associated with something worse (which it isn't). It had nice specs but was still out of my price range, and yet Asus had the answer: the VE247H. It has mediocre picture quality as blacks appear. Indeed, I looked around at different reviews and displays and found an LG display which looked quite nice, as did a Dell, but then I spotted one of Asus' monitors on a list of supposed good ones and looked into it. The ASUS VG245H is a 1080p monitor with a TN panel which is great for gaming, but only decent for mixed usage. I was initially pulled towards Samsung for their high quality displays, but the price tends to match. Read more 0 but I was looking to go sub-$200. So, I set off on my search for a monitor. Also, there are many times when you simply need to be looking at two documents or pages at once on the screen, but unfortunately a 13' screen at that resolution just won't cut it. It could really only fit one page of a document on it at once, or when editing video in Final Cut Pro (a hobby) the interface was cramped. I have a 13' Macbook Pro (2010, 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB 1066Mhz RAM, NVidia GeForce 320M 256MB) but felt that the small 1280x800 display just wasn't enough.
