I just got this yesterday, hooked up the DVI cable inyo my graphics card, turned both the computer and the monitor on and I get "No DVI Signal". <<< Why would that be? Both my computer and Monitor are working fine except I still can't get a signal regardless of the monitor being hooked up properly...!!
I'm gonna buy this one soon for xbox 360, too bad it doesn't have HD component cables because that's what I use now but I'm gonna switch to hdmi anyway
Great video! Really enjoyed seeing the monitor. I am strongly considering one to act as a primary display for my laptop when it's on my desk. Is it a mat or glass display?
The contrast ratio IS 1000:1, same as most good quality monitors these days. The 20,000:1 number they give is dynamic contrast. The problem with dynamic is that there's no standard for measuring it, so companies can put whatever number they want, from 10,000 - 1,000,000. What you should be looking for as actual reference is the static ratio, which is generally 500-1000.
@zulok1337 As I look around my room... A lot of pictures of me, some hats, cd's, kinda basic. Nothing wrong for a person to have a nerdy room, I just like to call it out. My channel won't tell nothing about my room though. I will say this, I do like this monitor, brought it a few months ago.
thanks to your unboxing i decided to go with this monitor for my compuetr/gaming center..
i have my pc hooked to it my xbox360..and i bought some vga to componite video in plugs so i have my softmodded xbox with xbox media center so i can play original xbox at 1080 i.,also my ps2...and it looks amazing on all of them..
If you use the PS3 VGA cable I'm sure you can use your headset, thats what I do with my Xbox, I have it connected a monitor via vga cable. So do you reccomend this monitor then because I may buy it tomorrow
does the blue power light from the Asus become distracting? is the light too bright? Cause I kinda get distracted by those things , otherwise, i want this monitor.
@BIGDADDYF50 I just got this monitor and personally I do think that that blue light is a bit annoying, but it is fixed easily as I just putted small piece of note paper (glue on the back) on top of the light and problem solved.
Hi, great video! Does this screen support fast changing between inputs (is there a button for going between DVI/HDMI if two devices are both connected to the screen).
@pxhza yes , the button to the left of the power button cycles through DVI-HDMI-VGA and yes you can have more then one device connected. Thank You & Please Subscribe :-)
I bought the VH242S yesterday, is the same as this but without DVI-D. Pretty cool, Im using it as a second monitor.
I Highly recommend it because is really really cheaper (my other 24" monitor was like 540$) and well, some high backlight but you don't notice it when working.
My monitor came too blue, spyder 2 to the rescue ;)
well it is obviously a great monitor (especially when you consider its price) but I want to know if you have experienced any problems with that, let's say after a month of usage. Because as you've might have heard as well, there's this infamous problem of flickering and people say that it occurs after a couple of months. I'm interested in buying one of these, so it would be good if you could share your experience.
@youmayfcukthebride well i have had the monitor for almost three months now and use it about 4-6 hours a day give or take.. and i have yet to experience any problems what so ever. i absolutely love this monitor,, the best one i have owned to date. ,, i should be quite i don't want to make my Acer;s Jealous. :-) Subscribe and Thumbs up please.
do u recommend this monitor or the asus vw246h? i dont get why ppl like this monitor when the other one has a 2ms response time and is basically the same thing...
@xnakurax i do recommended this monitor , second the new 2ms monitors are a different form factor, are much more expensive, and the 2ms GTG, there is not difference, basically the monitor has the ability to go from Gray to a color then back to gray again in 2ms, but that happens almost never, what happens is a pixel goes from one color to a other, and that takes 5ms. there absolutely no difference. this monitor has a 2ms GTG it only says it on monitors as a trick, ask Asus. Subscribe :-)
I need a JOB lol, I have my eyes on a new HD 5830, new case with good cooling, and this monitor. Its comes around to like 540 bucks or something. And since I have a Turtle Beach for my 360, I could hook that up and Bam, surround sound.
@flyergd i haven't used the HDMI input yet. although i was planing on getting a ps3 to use with it in a few months so good luck and let me know how it works out for you.
@Venix91I have been using the monitor for 3 weeks and so far its great
I can't recomend a better monitor for this price to use with pc ands ps3 at the same time... I hope you enjoy it with your future ps3 as much as me :)
@xnakurax if your connecting to a computer then you don't need a hdmi cable at all. you only a need a DVI to DVI since most likely your graphics card is outputting to DVI as well as the monitor excepts DVI ,,
@Venix91 um no, i want to hook up an hdmi cable to my computer by bga or dvi, cuz its a digital version, not necessarily better, but a digital version then using dvi, so i wanted to know if i should get a hdmi to dvi cable but for ps3 would it be hdmi to hdmi?
could this hook up to a asus g74sx with all the standard cables it comes with?
