    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Brand, Great Price, Buy it! June 5, 2009
    By acw07
    Amazon Verified Purchase
    Well, I was shopping for a new monitor to upgrade my 15 inch lcd. After shopping around, I saw this monitor and instantly was intrigued. A 24 inch monitor for less than 200 dollars seemed a little cheap. But anyone who knows about computers can tell you that Asus is no small name. So I gave it a shot, and I don't regret it! This monitor looks great with computer games, it has all the computer inputs you need as well as HDMI! Hooking an Xbox 360 through this looks just as good as my 1080p 42" tv. Even my HDMI DVR box looks great with this monitor. The buttons feel a little cheap on this, but when do you ever use them? This monitor is a smart choice to save the most money and have the same quality as a $400 monitor. I get compliments about this monitor from people who paid way more for an HP or Dell monitor. If you are the least bit interested in this product, buy it!

    After almost a year with this monitor, it still performs perfectly. The blue power light did burn out however and only lights up on occasion. Also, to clarify, sound does get output through the monitor when using hdmi with an xbox 360 or other device.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Flickering Gray Screen of Death November 24, 2009
    Amazon Verified Purchase
    Length: 2:47 Mins
    After 3+ months of great use of the VH242H, I cam home to find a problem that seems to be affecting/afflicting several other reviewers of this monitor - a flickering gray screen that does not seem to abate. I'll be hitting up ASUS service in the next few days, and will update this review or add comments as things progress.

    Up until now, I've been very happy with this monitor and would certainly have given it 4 stars. I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1 star because it did so well. I might downgrade it depending on how ASUS service deals with this monitor.

    [UPDATE 12/21/09]

    Well, the monitor has gone to the ASUS repair facility and returned to me (with about a 2-week lag, and not the best online information regarding whether the monitor had been shipped or not), and it worked right out of the box.

    And then it didn't. After putting my MacBook Pro to sleep and waking it up I found... the flickering BLACK screen of death. After jiggling, I was able to get the monitor working, but this happens now every time I either put the computer to sleep or unhook the monitor cable (which connects to a DisplayPort adapter). I've updated the video; more to follow soon.

    The monitor had a very nice picture for the month that it was functioning. When it went black suddenly, I was sent into the ASUS Customer Service abyss. All phone calls seemed to send me back to the website... which was useless. I finally managed to get an RMA and sent the monitor back at my cost. After 5 weeks with no email or calls as to the status of the monitor, I finally received my supposedly repaired monitor back. Blacks are red. The picture quality is terrible with ghosting and flickering everywhere. Clearly nobody even looked at the monitor after "repairing" it.

    I will seek a refund and will never purchase ASUS products again.
