5.0 out of 5 stars true widescreen 16:9 with cool features and 3 years warranty!, March 18, 2010

This review is from: ASUS VH202T-P 20-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black (Electronics)

Pros:

1) 16:9 true widescreen display perfect for dvd and blu-ray movies as well as having 2 windows open
2) 1600x900 is 900p near 1080p which is full hd and the difference in pq is negligible
3) good looking monitor
4) sturdy stand and screen tilts up and down
5) *asus 3 years manufacturer's warranty a big plus*
6) no dead pixels
7) very good color saturation
8) cool options like theater mode and scenery mode enhances pq
9) hdcp compatible monitor for viewing hd content like blu-ray movies
10) low refresh rate of 5ms makes it great for pc games
11) includes vga cable, dvi cable, audio cable, software, and instructions
12) great value

Cons:

can't cook my meals

Neutral:

1) built-in speakers are unremarkable but at least it has one
2) would've been great if resolution was 1920x1080 full hd
3) would've been nice to have hdmi input and usb input like dell monitors

one of the best monitors under $150. i avoided refurbished due to only 90 days warranty and not much cheaper. length of warranty is very important. samsung, lg, acer, asus, aoc, hanns-g, and nec all have 3 years warranty. viewsonic, hp, and sceptre only have 1 year warranty. the hp 2009m is actually a better looking monitor however i opted to get this due to asus reputation and 3 yrs warranty. can't go wrong with this monitor!

playing blu-ray movies requires a sata blu-ray drive, good video card with 512mb memory, good cpu of at least 2.0ghz dual core and above, and a good video software like powerdvd 8 deluxe and above. also windvd 9 blu-ray edition works well.

This review is from: ASUS VH202T-P 20-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black (Electronics)

This is a long overdue upgrade for me from 15 in. monitor. Came down between Asus, LG and Acer 20 inch widescreens. Could not find any reviews about it online. But this is why I picked it:

Pros: It does not have a shiny screen, yet has great colors and bright enough for me. I went and looked in the stores at several monitors and decided to skip them when I saw how shiny/reflective the screen was (Acer). I prefer a monitor that won't reflect surrounding lights. I could not determine this from the descriptions/pictures. Great for photography/post processing. Having EPEAT Gold is a plus, saves power. The price is right. Cables included.

Cons: Speakers are laptop like, but it is better than nothing. I wish it came with USB connections on monitor for convenience. Too new to assess reliability.

I use two monitors on my Apple iMac to give me a larger desktop for doing audio and video production work in my recording studio. I recently had the old 19" Proview 4 by 3 flat panel monitor I'd been using for about 8 years give out and needed to replace it. Since I had room constraints as to how large a monitor would fit on the studio desk, I looked around for a while trying to decide on what would be the best 20" monitor to use as a replacement for my old one and finally settled on the Asus VH202T-P wide screen flat panel monitor, linked to here

I wasn't sure how well the monitor would work out in my studio when I bought it, but was very pleasantly surprised after receiving and installing it into my system. This monitor has brilliant video quality, a fast response time, and good color control as well as some very nice features, especially when considering the price of admission. Although I do not need or use the speakers in my studio, that are a part of the monitor, I can see where this could be very convenient, especially in an application where there is little room for installing an external speaker system. Also, having both a VGA and DVI connection for the monitor to the computer is a big plus, especially when hooking up to my iMac.

I've had this monitor for about a month and a half now and all in all I can not imagine a better monitor, especially considering the price I paid. I heartily recommend the Asus VH202T-P monitor for any installation where you need a great monitor for a good price in the 20" size class. And it was a great no hassle buy with all the benefits that come along with doing business with Amazon.
