Can't go wrong with this 22" HD Gem
Overall, the weaknesses of this monitor were nothing to deter me from making a hard decision very easy. The 24" screens on the market today are very appealing but when it comes down to functionality, the VE228H blew my mind.
Colour - Asus Smart Contrast Control has superiority over all other contrast ratios on the market
Splendid Video Presets - this function adds to the product but does not put it arms length ahead of competition
HDMI input - it is difficult to find a monitor >24" that has great HDMI reception.
Stand - the base ought to be taller or adjustable and a rotation function would be nice
Speakers - relying on built in speakers as primary audio is a mistake (enough said
Gloss frame - I prefer a mat finish on the frame but with all the techy benefits - who cares
