Asus VE248H 24" LED Monitor Unboxing

[CoffeeForJacob]

what camera do you use?

[coleskater16]

FAIL! Using a MAC!

[gary4poker]

can you hook it up to your laptop with an hdmi cord, if i have a Toshiba laptop can i hook it up with the hdmi cord and would it matter if i dont and just hooked it up with the vga cable thing it comes with (would the graphics matter )

[PavleP1]

What connection would be better for my macbook? VGA or DVI.

Great Video!

[bif0978]

@PavleP1 DVI lol VGA is analog output! DVI can got extreme resolution and VGA cant even go to HD.

[Vizzo69s]

Hi there, nice video! What settings have you found to be best please? I having trouble getting the colours right! Thanks a bunch.

[bfullstar]

why would you get a 24 inch thats way to big ur a moron... and yes vesa is for morons to

[HuskyWolfy]

my asus monitor after a month of usage, i've noticed missing pixels in the lower right corner of my screen, does this monitor have the same issue? because i might get it

[ChedWick05]

Overpay for a macbook, spend more to improve the experience. Pro...

Great unboxing and what not though. I just bought one for under 200 with overnight shipping. I expect to be very satisfied.

[sacredwaste]

@ChedWick05 Just got 2 for $169 a piece on Amazon with overnight also. Looks like I'll be happy too!

[ChedWick05]

@sacredwaste

Thats exactly where I bought mine too. I was a little shocked at the difference between them and Newegg. Though, I wish I could be satisfied right now. It was suppose to be here Friday but UPS fucked up somehow. Tracking indicated an invalid address at around 7pm. I call they read me off the address. It is indeed my actual address so somehow the driver went full retard. Now I wont get it till Monday...

Hopefully yours actually makes it there next-day.

[breakdance92]

Only $200?? Awesome!

[Willasap43]

Is this monitor good for gaming ?

[TheKase9]

@Willasap43 yes its amazing one of the best if not the BEST buy it without hesitation seriously lol 

[OneManShowShow]

for some reason peeling the saran wrap off looked like the best part. great unboxing!

[ImRKV]

@TheMexicanNerd Hi there great review! Just wondering if i need to buy any separate cables in order to play my Xbox 360 on this? If not how do you connect the two devices? Thanks :)

[sacredwaste]

@ImRKV You need an HDMI cable if you have one of the newer Xboxes.

[iAppletechreviews]

Great video! Can you please link me to that wallpaper you have on your MacBook Pro?

[Halfnerds]

Great Review! , it's possible perhaps to have a review with that monitor and some console?

would be nice because i'm searching some monitor for my xbox since i'm one of the many people that think that monitor = quality for games.

[sxcboyyy]

have u done a review yeet?

[TrutherTube2012]

just ordered me one for 170 discounted on newegg

[defkon99]

cool video, do you know how tall it stands from the desk to the bottom bezel and from the bottom bezel to the top,, id really appreciate it, as im setting up a 3rd monitor and i want this one to be the center piece so i kinda want them to line up. thanks man

[TankLankan]

[mBrooks95]

I hung this in my bathroom, the back makes a great mirror!

@PreciseChimp Thanks!

[mattador1313]

Great Review !!!1!!

[TheUndisputed90]

@rhyleysc00ts actually there's a new tv made especially for the ps3 and is coming out on November 13 ,it's called PlayStation 3D TV and it's 24 inches, 3D and you can also switch to 2D ,fully 1080p hd. 240 Hz,Sony said it's the most advanced 3D tv on the market for gaming, it's gonna be a nice tv but a bit pricy is going for 499.99 you can pre order it at gamestop or at your local best buy. :]

[RiksK15]

What is the voltage on this monitor?

I am thinking of getting from Amazon.com but I live in Europe, so I need to know if the voltage supports up to 220V?

[rhyleysc00ts]

should i get this to play ps3 on?

is it worth getting or is there a newer model i should get because this video is quite old, if there is a newer model inbox me what it is and if i hsould get it, ive heard this is a good monitor, please let me know ,

thanks for your help!

[BillieJean900]

hi i have a question before i buy this monitor, is the dvi different than the hdmi ? is the hdmi bettter quality ?

[Limitbreak07]

What is the maximum refresh rate this monitor have??? is it 60hz??? or more??

[TheMexicanNerd]

@Limitbreak07 Yea its 60hz

[MudHut67]

Mac? what a waste...

[VoLtrex31]

Hey, i am thinking if buying this desktop since i want cheap 24" screen for gaming.

1)Does it have high resolution?

2) Do you have any idea why this screen is so cheap - equivalent size screen from SAMSUNG cost $50 more..

[yomamalovescock]

@VoLtrex31 You can get much cheaper versions of this monitor, this is the top spec one when it comes down to contrast ratio and response time. IF cost isn't an issue then get this, but this definitely isn't the cheapest monitor around.

[VoLtrex31]

@yomamalovescock Funny it is the most cheap in the shop.. in these specs..

I am looking for these specs but do they great for games and not office work...

LoL you use mac 13" .. so you must don't know how it perform in games..

[yomamalovescock]

@VoLtrex31 Me? This isn't my video, I was just giving my two cents. This monitor (should be)is great for gaming - PC and console - but if you simply want to upgrade for you home office you are wasting your money. Btw I was going by Amazon's prices, you should check monitors out on there; they're usually the cheapest prices.

[VoLtrex31]

@yomamalovescock Funny i thought that are the owner .. sorry,

I am looking for gaming and this monitor is good for it..

Buy i own 19" SAMSUNG. and i know that SAMSUNG have the best displays in the market

[yomamalovescock]

@VoLtrex31 Yeah Samsung displays are pretty damn good, I have a 37inch Samsung T.V. that's pretty sweet. The 'Samsung S24A350H' has familiarly specs to this monitor - same size, resolution and response time. It's also cheaper, I'd go with that model. BUT don't buy it in shop, get it off Amazon - they have amazing customer service and usually can't be beats for price. :) hope this helped.

[VoLtrex31]

@yomamalovescock Hey i bought the samsung 24"...

Great display - i got the wide screen version of it.

a little bit too wide but idle for gaming and movies ..

HD movies are looking truely amazing.

Thank you for the advice..

[yomamalovescock]

@VoLtrex31 Great to hear, I personally love widescreen displays and can't bear monitors with an aspect ratio of 4:3. I suppose I've always used wide screen monitors so it's just something you'll get used to over time. =]

[VoLtrex31]

@yomamalovescock Why is your channel "This channel is not available." ..

[yomamalovescock]

@VoLtrex31 I don't know. =/ I have no videos anyway, I'm just a bystander.

[kbyo2006]

Excuseme, i used google translator and it used other word. I wanted know what is the frecuenzy in Hz, it can be 60 Hz or 75 Hz. And i'd liked know if in the max resolution (1080) could be 75 Hz. Thank's friend.

[kbyo2006]

Please could you tell me how often you can work on that monitor? I am indecisive and that's the only fact that I would need to get one. Thank you friend.

[TheMexicanNerd]

@kbyo2006 I can work on it for hours. I love it... I hope I answered your question.

[LittleBuster89]

Good review.  Subbed

[TheMexicanNerd]

@LittleBuster89 Thanks man

[xbox360nerd1]

have you tried gaming on your macbook pro? can you please test team fortress 2 (free on steam) and minecraft .. it's the only games i wanna play. thanks themexicannerd

[TheMexicanNerd]

@xbox360nerd1 No sorry, I don't do much gaming on my MBP. I wish I did because I get a lot of questions about gaming but I mostly game on the xbox or PS3

[kanta90]

@xbox360nerd1 minecraft runs pretty smoothly on my macbook pro, tf2 runs OK, but not to the point where it's enjoyable a lot of stuttering. low fps

[xbox360nerd1]

@kanta90 i just got it 2 weeks ago lol. it's actually the opposite for me minecraft has an average fps on far of like 15-20. tf2 on a 22 player server runs great !

[kanta90]

@xbox360nerd1 well that's good glad you enjoy it, I love my macbook pro but I'm planning to build my own comp soon that will destroy minecraft, happy gaming!

[VoguishArts]

This just replaces the Apple Display basically. I'm wanting to purchase this and the new Mac Mini. I have a question though, does this monitor have bluetooth? I want to use both the apple wireless keyboard, and the apple magic mouse.

[TheMexicanNerd]

@VoguishArts The monitor doesn't need bluetooth. The Mac Mini has bluetooth built in so that you can connect your mouse and keyboard.

[VoguishArts]

@TheMexicanNerd Yes, I started to assume that was the case soon after I asked. Thanks for assuring that it is.

[glassbowls]

I just bought the Asus VE249 LED. can't seem to find any reviews on it I guess its pretty new. so far the monitor is amazing. the fact it has different color settings for gaming, movies, night mode, and standard is really cool.

[in0de]

i want to know about the speakers quality. I want this monitor for xbox/ps3 playing but im not an audio nerd. I want to play FIFA, CoD, Battlefield, etc. Are built-in speakers acceptable?

[deepakjindal070]

awsome video quality dude. which camera??

[TheMexicanNerd]

@deepakjindal070 Thanks! Canon T2i

[criminologue]

No ghosting for (VE 247 en VE 248) fabrication after mach 2011...look on top of monitor. confirmed by Asus

[LebJamal23]

hey did you realize any ghosting with this? how do you like it so far (aesthetics and performance)

[TheMexicanNerd]

@LebJamal23 Yea there is ghosting. Uploading a review video right now. Just finished editing it 5 minutes ago.

[d3tach3d]

@LebJamal23 ghosting on 2ms? weak ;( my lg 2ms has none what so ever. Is it really that bad on this monitor?

[TheMexicanNerd]

@d3tach3d Check out my review. i give examples of the ghosting.

[Blackluc]

I am getting this one and somebody is building a desk for me right now. He needs to know if the stand of the monitor is high enough already or he needs to put a shelf to lift it.

[TheMexicanNerd]

@Blackluc The top of the monitor is level with my eyes when i'm sitting at my desk. In my opinion that is the best way to have your monitor setup. If you want to have it a little higher then yea, I would recommend a shelf.

[Blackluc]

@TheMexicanNerd Perfect, that's what I wanted to know. A monitor has to be at the same level of our eyes like you say ;)

[TheMexicanNerd]

@Blackluc Cool. This monitor has ghosting problems. Just letting you know before you buy it. It doesn't bother me but it definitely has ghosting.

[Blackluc]

@TheMexicanNerd It's already shipped, but I don't care much. I think if it was a big problem I wouldn't read that much good reviews, but thanks

[CitronTech]

@jiheeorama I can get the VE247H for $169.99 or the VE248H for $199.99, taking advantage of this deal!

[TheMexicanNerd]

@jiheeorama I got the mini display port to DVI adapter. You could also get the mini display port to HDMI adapter. How are you liking the monitor?

[CitronTech]

Hey I'm thinking about getting two of these in a few days, would you recommend them? Found them on sale for $170 ($80 savings)

[TheMexicanNerd]

@CitronTech That's a pretty good deal. Make sure it's the same model number as the one I have. There are some less expensive models out there that look the same but they're just a smaller screen size. Oh and there is ghosting problems with this monitor. Im uploading a review of the monitor tonight. Check it out tomorrow to see if you still like the monitor.

[matsie131]

is the resolution of the macbook pro good enough to make a good resolution on the asus? I'm thinking of buying a 15" because i think the resolution will not be good enough on a larger screen

[TheMexicanNerd]

@matsie131 Yea the MacBook Pro 13" can support up to a 2560 by 1600 display. This asus monitor is just 1920 by 1080 so it works perfectly.

[matsie131]

@TheMexicanNerd Thanks. But bought a 27" iMac last week so :) Thanks though

[GhooztHD]

have you notice any input lag using the hdmi with this monitor?

[TheMexicanNerd]

@GhooztHD Nope. I plugged in my Xbox 360 using HDMI and I didn't notice any lag.

[mattgellison]

Are you gonna review this? Cause i am seriously considering buying it

[TheMexicanNerd]

@mattgellison I'll try to get a review up sometime this week. Really busy. There are only two thing's I dislike about it so far. Do you want me to tell you what they are or would you rather wait for the review?

[LikaLaruku]

Don't suppose you can do a video of this monitor up & running & test video games on it, because that would actually be useful for anyone thinking of buying this monitor for a gaming rig.

[TheMexicanNerd]

@LikaLaruku I don't do any computer gaming but I do have a PS3 and a Xbox 360. Will that be good enough?

[chgotbanned]

@TheMexicanNerd yeah, i was thinking the same thing, deff do it for the xbox, thinking of getting realllllyy soon

[TheMexicanNerd]

@chgotbanned I'll try to put up a review on this sometime this week. I'll put xbox and ps3 gaming demos on it.

[chgotbanned]

@TheMexicanNerd thank you my good sir

[SkISl0pE]

I just ordered this monitor! This was a good video, thanks for uploading.

[TheMexicanNerd]

@SkISl0pE No problem. I just bought a second one so that I can have a dual monitor setup. I just uploaded a video on it if you want to check it out. Thanks for commenting.

[joshrulez2244]

I heard some people get ghosting do you?

[TheMexicanNerd]

@joshrulez2244 I heard the same thing. I haven't noticed any ghosting on my monitor.

[joshrulez2244]

@TheMexicanNerd thanks :)

[TheMexicanNerd]

@joshrulez2244 No problem.

[OIDJose]

@TheMexicanNerd Hey good video, how do you like these monitor? im searching for a new one im switching from an 19" (hp w1907), im also searching reviews for the HP 2511x, oh and one more thing do you think there is a lot of diference between a 23, 24 and 25" monitor?

[TheMexicanNerd]

@OIDJose The hp w1907 is a nice monitor but it would be nice to step up to 1080p resolution. When I bought this monitor the HP 2511x had just barely come out. If I didn't buy this Asus I probably would have gone with that one. I think I went with the Asus because I liked the design a little more plus it was cheaper. I really like the Asus monitor so far. The only problem that I had was that the viewing angle isn't that great. But I barely notice that problem.

[TheMexicanNerd]

@OIDJose I like the Asus monitor so much that I bought myself a second one that I just got in the mail today. I'm going to try to have two external monitors attached to my MBP at the same time. That will be in one of my future video. You can subscribe if you want to check that out... When it comes to 23", 24", or 25" monitors I think you should go to a electronics store and check out the monitor sizes and see that you like. But as long as the resolution is the same there isn't a big difference.

[OIDJose]

@TheMexicanNerd i see thanks im going to check about size, i had a 10% in newegg for the 2511x but the product is currently deactivated so i´ll check about this one and see. and im subscribe now thanks.

[TheMexicanNerd]

@OIDJose No problem. Thanks for subscribing.

[joshrulez2244]

"make sure it doesnt blow up anything"

[TheMexicanNerd]

@joshrulez2244 LOL :)

[deadlyzebra123]

2 weeks to ship? Shoulda gone with Amazon Prime, 2 day shipping is so dope.

[TheMexicanNerd]

@deadlyzebra123 Yea I plan on getting Amazon Prime soon. It's a good idea since i'm buying things there all the time... I'm going to buy another one of these monitors on friday. That way I'll have a dual monitor setup. I think that a Frys near my house is selling it for the same price as amazon so I'll probably buy it there.

[deadlyzebra123]

@TheMexicanNerd True, if you're a student. You can get Prime for a year for free.

[TheMexicanNerd]

@deadlyzebra123 Wow thanks for the tip I'll check it out in the morning.

[aopdjasldksa]

@TheMexicanNerd They might have the student prime accounts available right now. You just need a college/University e-mail. 

[TheMexicanNerd]

@aopdjasldksa Sounds good. Im going to give it a try tomorrow. Thanks for the info.

[aopdjasldksa]

@TheMexicanNerd No problem. I've saved so much throughout the year that I had (well I still have it haha). I roughly saved around $300+ in shipping costs.

[JaBunGa23]

whats the difference between the ve248h and the ve247h

[TheMexicanNerd]

@JaBunGa23 The ve248h is 24" and the ve247h is 23.6". But they have the exact same resolution and specs from what I can see. The ve247h is also aroung $20 cheaper... The reason I went with the 24" is because I like the slightly larger size screen.

[amac8487]

Awesome video man. I think I just may order this.

[TheMexicanNerd]

@amac8487 Thanks! I haven't had any problems with mine. I think it's a great monitor and i'm 100% happy that I purchased it.. If you do order it, let me know what you think of it.

[MainStreetTech]

Can you make a video on how to calibrate it and get your full desktop with dock on? Also, why don't you use HDMI?

[TheMexicanNerd]

@MainStreetTech I'll make that video in the future when I buy a screencasting program like screenflow to show all the steps I wen't through to calibrate it.... I will make a video soon on how to connect a external monitor to a MacBook Pro though.... And I used DVI instead of HDMI so that the HDMI input on my monitor stays open so that I can connect my Xbox 360 later.... Thanks for all the comments. Reading/answering comments are my favorite part of making videos.

[prostreeter21]

i took 10 minutes to calibrate and im suprised its worth the money !

[TheMexicanNerd]

@prostreeter21 Pretty crazy right? At first it was a little sketchy but after calibrating the colors were pretty awesome. For around $200 i'm totally happy.

[prostreeter21]

@TheMexicanNerd same ;)

[xxalika2004xx]

Does it have USB ports???

[TheMexicanNerd]

@xxalika2004xx No USB ports

[longisland216]

very nice setup! i would like to get an external monitor too, but im not sure yet. great vid!

[swartsanager2]

XD i laughed at the first 7 words u said. XD

[TheMexicanNerd]

@swartsanager2 haha :)

[romario50001]

dude u r going to get alot more cool comment best unboxing

[TheMexicanNerd]

@romario50001 Thanks! I appreciate it.

[aceace0002]

nice vid how is the color? any tinting?

[TheMexicanNerd]

@aceace0002 Took me about 15 min to calibrate it and I think the colors are great now. Loving this monitor. No problems so far.

[LuisMayhem17]

Sweet dude!

This would be great for my post-production photo editing in lightroom.

Glad I saw this video so I didn't spend so much on the cinema display :D

[TheMexicanNerd]

@LuisMayhem17 Glad I could help Luis. It's been a while since I've heard from you. Can't wait to see you make more vids bro.

[JuneTechTV]

Hey bro I was wondering, what cam are you using in this video?

[TheMexicanNerd]

@JuneTechTV I'm using the Canon T2i, also known as the 550D. Great camera.

[dman2495]

you have the best unboxings ever!!!!! keep it up because i enjoy watching youre videos!

[TheMexicanNerd]

@dman2495 Thanks man I really appreciate it. The main reason I make videos is because of the cool comments people leave me. So thanks for the comment.

[PRGamer28]

really nice bro how much it cost you?

[TheMexicanNerd]

@PRGamer28 $213 on Amazon with shipping and tax included.

[cazaders]

nice monitor.

[rickelchilango]

Very nice!

[TheMexicanNerd]

@rickelchilango Thanks

[randomrazr]

200 is a pretty decent deal for a 24inch LED

much better than spending over 1000 ont he apple cinema disyplay LOL

[TheMexicanNerd]

@randomrazr Yea. If I could, I would get the cinema display but its way out of my price range. Im loving this monitor so far.
