ASUS VX238H-W White 23 Inch LCD Monitor Review

ASUS VX238H-W White 23 Inch LCD Monitor Review
Introduction
What I've noticed recently is the lack of white monitors that were available on the market, most monitors that are available on the market are either older models are models that are no longer supported by their manufactures. Luckily, I ran into the ASUS VX238H-W. Here is my review.  I was in the market for a monitor that was fast with a great ms speed. I also wanted a monitor that would be stylish and perform well overall in aspects such as playing media; surfing the web; and gaming.. I also wanted to see if I could find one around a budget of $200. Luckily enough I managed to find and purchase one on Newegg.com with everything I wanted for a better price of $180; the ASUS VX238H-W White 23 Inch LCD Monitor. This monitor not only suits my performance preferences but its also very stylish and definitely would match very well with my Corsair 600T case.
What caught my eye
Surprisingly, there are many things that caught my eye about the monitor. One of them being the monitor's special use of Anti-UV materials that prevent the VX238H chassis from decaying and turning yellow. Another thing that caught my eye was the monitor's very modern and slim design, I love the simplistic colors and material used on the monitor; its very simple but very stylish at the same time. This monitor will definitely match my current setup that includes my Corsair 600T White Graphite case. I also think this monitor looks a lot better in person as well, the monitor is a lot more white with a very nice gloss finish, and the monitor is much more bold then it appears in its stock photos giving it a more defined, luxurious feel.
Overview
A nice thing about the VX238H-W is that it has plenty of features; my favorites are the easily configurable modes that are featured in the monitor; Standard Mode, Theater Mode, Game Mode, Night View Mode, sRGB, and Scenery Mode. These five modes make it a lot easier to switch to a theme mode to be more suitable to give me the right picture quality for whatever I am doing. Overview of some nice features of the monitor:
  • 80,000,000:1 high contrast ratio, exclusive Splendid Video Intelligence Technology, and HDMI achieve the finest image and color quality
  • The sturdy sundial-inspired stand and ultra-slim profile provide stability and durability

Overall thoughts
Overall, I think this was the perfect monitor for me; it does just about everything I would want it to do, and it looks amazing. The ASUS VX238H-W was also perfect for my budget, it was exactly how much I was looking to spend for a monitor. For the price of $180 I think I got a pretty swell deal for its specifications and cable components. As far as quality goes I also believe it was well worth the price, the monitor not only felt expensive but its sleek and modern look also made it look pricey as well. If you're looking for a black monitor, the VX238H-W comes in black as well. Overall, to conclude I really like the ASUS VX238H-W, I think you would to, the VX238H-W is definitely a monitor worth checking out.
