ASUS VG236H Coverage – HotHardware

http://hothardware.com/Reviews/Asus-VG236-120Hz-LCD-Monitor-Review/

“Even before turning on the monitor, we found the VG236H aesthetically pleasing. The VG236H features a shiny, black bezel and matching stand that would fit in any environment…For our subjective analysis, we loaded up a couple of Blu-ray movies, sat back, and watched HD video in all its glory. The Book of Eli looked incredible on the VG236H with scenes featuring high dynamic range, and a few fast action fight scenes thrown into the mix. Accordingly, the display allowed the colors to come alive with stunning clarity, and blurring was kept to a minimum whenever the action heated up…In addition, we loaded up several of the latest gaming titles and ran through them with NVIDIA 3D Vision enabled. Using identical settings, we compared Acer's GD235HZ 120Hz monitor to the VG236H and found the Asus panel produced a better 3D image in every game we tested. Specifically, colors seemed brighter and more vibrant, while stereoscopic 3D appears enhanced, with a greater effect. In all, games looked fantastic across the board on the Asus monitor. Moreover, if we had to choose between these two models, the VG236H has the upper hand by a wide margin. Throughout testing, the VG236H did very well. In 2D mode, it's easily one of the best looking TN panels we've tested. The colors are vivid, images are clear, and text is sharp…Lastly, we appreciate the traditional push buttons Asus included on this monitor and much prefer them over touch-sensitive buttons…In all, we were pleased with the VG236H from Asus. It consistently hit the mark in our testing and produces a fantastic image, whether it be 2D, 3D, work or play. There's a very short list of 3D capable monitors and we've now had the chance to test two of them. Without a doubt, the VG236H is far superior to the Acer model we looked at.

“ASUS really seems to have come a long way in terms of the build quality of their computer displays…There's a heft to the display that makes it feel like a quality piece of electronics…The ASUS VG236H is one of the nicest TN monitors we've seen…Obviously, the real draw to the VG236H is the fact that it runs at 120Hz - and the fact that it can accept a 120Hz signal over DVI. That means that it can run 3D content using a number of different standards…The display is fast enough that blurring or tearing wasn't readily apparent with standard games. Moreover, the 120Hz display modes make a noticeable difference with even normal Windows content…ASUS offers a lot with the VG236H. In terms of image quality, it's easily one of the best TN-based displays on the market today - due in no small part to excellent (for its panel type) horizontal viewing angles. As mentioned previously, however, the reason to buy this display is for its 120Hz refresh rates and 2ms grey-to-grey response times…For gamers looking to break into 3D gaming, it's hard to look further than the VG236H.”

“Before you scream, “Who in their right mind would pay $500 for a 23-inch twisted-nematic panel?!” know that this is a 120Hz monitor, and that Asus is putting Nvidia’s 3D Vision kit—a $200 product—inside the box. If you’re excited about 3D gaming and Blu-ray 3D movies…$500 is a compelling value. Oh, and the monitor’s pretty good, too…Asus hasn’t magically avoided all the problems we associate with TN panels…but it has done a great job mitigating those problems. We were very impressed, on the other hand, with the VG236H’s screen uniformity: Many of the TN panels we’ve reviewed suffer from blotchiness and varying degrees of intensity while displaying a single shade across the entire display. This monitor produced a uniform shade nearly edge to edge. Most people contemplating a VG236H purchase will have gaming in mind, and from that perspective, it’s a great choice—especially with games that take advantage of Nvidia’s 3D Vision.
