5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Monitor! (solution to hdmi color issue), April 14, 2012

This review is from: ASUS VS228H-P 22-Inch Full-HD 5ms LED-Lit LCD Monitor (Personal Computers)

I recently decided to bring my 22" Acer 1680x1050 to work and needed to buy another monitor for my laptop at home. After searching through the likes of Viewsonic and others, I finally landed upon this monitor.
The features that enticed me were:
1. The design (no extra clutter enducing additions)
2. The Contrast Ratio. ASCR ratio: 50 million to 1? By any standards that's insane.
3. The Audio-out port. (I don't care much for built-in speakers)
4. The Hdmi port of course

This monitor met all my needs and more! I love the physical buttons this monitor uses, something I'm scared more manufacturers are abandoning. The stand is sturdy pretty much all the time except when you're pressing the buttons since you need to press up on the very edge of the monitor (not a big deal).

Some things to take note of when you buy this monitor though:
1. Make sure if you're using an NVIDIA Graphics card that you change the color setting in its control panel. Don't use RGB; it produces washed out colors when using HDMI. On my computer, I have set the digital color format to YCbCr444 and that seems to have solved the issue.
2. Make sure your hdmi cable is properly shielded. On the 2nd day of use, I noticed a humming sound which I initially thought was from the monitor. It turned out to be coming from the speakers. After countless testing I narrowed it down to the cable and was able to diminish the noise a bit. (ASUS doesn't give us an HDMI cable with the purchase unfortunately)

Update 1: There's one thing I don't quite like about the monitor, and I'm not sure if there's any way around (please let me know if there is). When the monitor goes to sleep or I shut it off, music stops playing from the audio port. It would be nice to separate the sound coming from the hdmi cable to the operation of the monitor. Also, the monitor becomes an extremely bright blue just like a TV when there's no connection found as opposed to the pleasant black screen I was used to with the Acer. (not a huge deal)

Update 2: A minor issue, but an annoyance nonetheless. While the display itself is matte, the casing of the monitor is NOT. It's a little distracting to see light reflecting from the side of the monitor, but I'm not going to throw a fit over it. (As a point of reference, the Acer monitor I used before did not have a glossy casing, leading to optimal viewing. However, it seems they abandoned that casing too!)

Update 3: The sound coming from the speakers is back. It looks like there's no way to get rid of it. If there is music or sound playing the humming noise won't show up. However, since I have my computer connected it doesn't seem like a very good idea.
