I often see a lot of conflicting reviews about this particular monitor because of either it's stand, brightness, not full 1080p (I don't know where that one came from) or some other subjective thing that really isn't a concrete fact either way. If you're on the fence about buying this monitor, I was in your position shortly ago, and I went for it. It has everything I needed, 1080p, HDMI, LED backlit, fast response time, decent size, etc.
I'm using it mainly for gaming, I have my Xbox 360 and PS3 hooked up to it currently, not a PC however (the only difference being the PC looking significantly better.) The transaction has been flawless, and everything I connected to it worked instantly with no issues. No dead pixels. Very fast arrival, came 2 days early.
The picture is great. It's very sharp, and very bright. I don't know why a lot of people have to turn down the brightness; they must have the monitor in a very dark or closed off area, because I found the brightness at maximum to be perfect, and does not strain my eyes, even in darkness. Contrast is very good, and in some cases can be extreme for games where you're in a lot of wilderness settings, (ala. Crysis, Bad Company 2, Just Cause 2, or Red Dead Redemption) and may require turning it down a few notches in the game. The colors for the most part are fairly accurate, though I wouldn't use this monitor if you're going for professional photo-editing and the like. Overall, I'm happy with the picture, and unless I really started to get into the elite critique aspects, I don't think there's much you could dislike about it.
No external speakers, but one headphone input in the back. I really, really wish they would have put in 2 HDMI ports, because just one more would've made this monitor perfect. That way I wouldn't have to switch out the back every time I go from 360 to PS3, but that isn't really a big deal, it's fairly quick if you tie the cords together at the end.
Now, to address the main drawback most people talk about: The ring stand.
I don't have any problem with the ring stand. I will admit that it's not extremely durable, and it does move fairly easy, but you do have to give it some force. I really don't see a way for it to move backward or forward unless you're openly banging against the table or monitor. I have my monitor sitting on the back of a corner desk and if I touch the top of the monitor and push, it does slide back, but not very much. And it will pull forward, and stay in position. I've accidentally banged my chair off of the desk, and I've never had it bad enough where the monitor changed position or fell over. You'd have to live in a house with kids running and jumping all over the place constantly to have this happen, because I don't see how it would move that much by itself otherwise. So as far as the stand goes, it's a very nice aesthetic idea, and it looks nice, but it could be improved. I don't think it's awful though, and I don't think it's worth a negative review.
I've also heard that the back plate over the ring stand piece breaks off easy, and again, unless you're an extremely rough person by nature, I don't know how it could break. All I did was turn the monitor over, grab the bottom and pull it off, snap the ring stand on, and push it back in. No idea how you could bust it.
The monitor doesn't come with directions, but you really don't need them anyway, it's very simple. The monitor does get dusty because it's such a glossy sleek black, but that's easily fixed with a quick clean rag, not a big deal.
It's thin, beautiful, fast and has a good picture, and a reasonable price, so it gets my recommendation.
Plus it comes with a DVI/HDMI convert. cable.

---Full 1080 HD. Do not be fooled by these others monitors claiming 'high-def'
---Weighs 7 pounds, not 27, making it adjustable with the push of a finger
---The response time is 2ms...not 5ms(gamers will understand the magnificence of this wonderful feature)
---About as thick as my thumbnail
---$200 bucks....are...you...kidding....me......this monitor is well worth $300-350 when compared to all the old prehistoric garbage still being pushed out there for more money that it cost to buy this one.
---10 million to 1 dynamic ratio. People say, "Dynamic ratio is just a sales crutch," but I DARE you to find another monitor out there even remotely close. You wont because no one else has such technology out yet besides what is inside this monitor. If you do find something close, I bet it is at the very least 100-200 bucks more and only around 1 million to 1. 10 million to 1, enough said here.
---Perfect for watching Hulu and blu-ray with the ol' lady (you can watch from anywhere in the room)
---The touch-screen buttons work phenomenally and even better than the ones on my 3 grand 52" inch Samsung LCD television in my living room. People complaining about this feature probably still use rotary dialer phones.
---Doesn't look like a computer monitor, so when time to upgrade in 5 years, it will be great for the kitchen and no one will ever think "Well, that is ghetto, this guy just put his old computer monitor in his kitchen."
---The games I play, Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Team Fortress 2, have never looked better. I actually did not know they could look this good, even when I had full settings on before. My 19" Dell monitor had 8ms and now this Asus FLIES at 2ms...are you kidding me?! TWO MS....this is as fast as my Razor(Deathadder) gaming mouse. Not only can I alt+tab lightning fast now, but there is no distortion in my game anymore after leaving a game minimized for a while. I knew I was getting an amazing monitor, but I had NO clue it would enhance my video card so much. I seriously feel like I upgraded to running dual video cards(cross-fire). Screw buying a new video card when you can kill two birds with one stone by getting this Asus monitor.
---The only cons to this monitor are in the lack of assembly direction. Although super easy to setup(almost instant), the directions leave out the fact that you have to pop-out a plastic piece from the back-side to screw in the single screw for the stand(no tools needed). Figuring this out took me about one minute extra but I can see how it might cause some serious confusion. The piece is not 'ripped out' but actually has pieces that pop in and out, if you save the piece you could pop it back in.
---------On a happy side note here, I was able to look at this square piece closely and truly examine the beauty of this monitor's paint job. From a distance(1-2 feet) it looks black but it actually has super fine blue sparkles glossed into the paint, which makes it worth about $500 dollars more than it cost. It is a beautiful piece of art.
---------On another happy side note, there are some complaints about the stand. I have no qualms about it whatsoever. It looks badass; my friends are like "that is badass." The screen starts much lower than my previous 19" Dell stand could even be pushed down to. I would estimate that the screen starts 2-3 inches from my desk...my center of vision could not be better placed. There is no 'wobbling' at all with this monitor and it never will. The tilting back a few degrees is a non-issue, trust me.
---The only other lacking direction is not actually due to the monitor but from a video card manufacturer, ATI/AMD. I have an ATI Radeon HD 4850 and after reading some reviews on NewEgg(more expensive) for this product, I found the solution. The monitor was showing a 1" black border around the display(only when set to full 1920×1080), and all I had to do was download the Catalyst Control Center from ATI/AMD website and set my 'Scaling Options' to 0% Overscan. Problem solved. Note: Other brand video cards do not have this issue.
---One last good thing, more-so for you, not me...you no longer have to read boring ass reviews on websites that make it hard to read reviews and strain your eye sockets, as this will be the last review you will need to read. I mean, do not take my word for it, read the other reviews on this lovely piece of art. But once you can't read reviews anymore, you will remember this review and be like, "That one guy on the internet was right, I should have stopped reading after seeing his review because I can't find anything as good as the Asus." Then you will get this monitor and see for yourself. Free shipping!

RESEARCH:
I spent nearly a month researching different brands and models of monitors, but ultimately made the decision to go with the ASUS ms238h. I am currently the owner of a HP w2408h that I use for business, so my review is loosely based on a comparison between the ms238h and the w2408h. When new, the HP was nearly $500 vs the more affordable price of $200 for the ASUS.
DISPLAY:
The ms238h is a super thin and lightweight monitor that provides a very crisp and brilliant display. Out of the box, the monitor is bright enough to knock your socks off! (On my HP, I have the brightness turned down to 0.) Once I learned how to navigate through the menu, I was able to adjust the brightness quite easily. This display also provides true HD (1920x1080). Videos/movies play well thanks to the fast response time. This monitor is great for viewing photos as well. Unlike the HP, the screen is not glossy, so reflections are minimized.
STAND:
The ring stand is a bit odd at first, but after a brief assembly, it sturdily supports the monitor. Tilting is very easy and I did not notice any slipping or shaking while the monitor was on my desk. Compared to my HP, the ms238h didn't shake or move at all! The HP always shakes a little.
BUTTONS:
The touch sensitive buttons on the front of the display could perform a little better, but they do work and you are able to navigate through the menu to adjust brightness, etc.
SPEAKERS:
There are no speakers for this monitor, but there is a HD audio output on the back of the monitor that you can use to hook-up external speakers.
INCLUDED:
Upon opening the box, you should find the following items with your monitor:
-Ring stand
-Plastic clip for ring stand
-VGA cable
-DVI to HDMI cable (the monitor has HDMI input, so you would plug the DVI side into your computer)
-Quick start guide & warranty info
-Power cord
PROBLEMS:
Unfortunately the one that I received had a small grouping of dead pixels and a faulty HDMI port. Needless to say, I returned the item, but will be purchasing another. I would have given this monitor a 5 star rating, but because of the dead pixels, faulty HDMI port and extra inconvenience I could only give it 3 out of 5 stars.
