VP229Q 21.5” Monitor, 1080P Full HD, 75Hz, IPS, FreeSync/Adaptive-Sync, Eye Care, HDMI DisplayPort VGA, Frameless, VESA Wall Mountable Black

I needed an additional 22 inch computer monitor with a DisplayPort input. This monitor exceeded my expectations for the price. It even came with DisplayPort and HDMI cables! Both text and graphics are crisp and I see no response issues when occasionally playing YouTube videos. I don't think you can do better at anywhere near the price for this monitor.

Great monitor at an afforadble price. Has reasonable gaming capabilities and can be setup in minutes. Has built in monitior speakers. I just wish the base had swivel capabilities.

Excellent works great. Perfect picture resolution.

[This is a review of the VP229Q, the 75Hz IPS model. The same Amazon listing also includes a different model which has a TN panel.] Works well, no dead pixels. I like the physical design a lot, although the stand is a little wobbly so I stacked some decks of cards up under the corner to keep it from moving. Built-in speakers are pretty bad quality but I wasn't planning to use them anyway. If you're just trying to watch a youtube video or something they'd be fine. The backlight is a little uneven (slightly darker at the top middle) but it's not a big deal. You can kind of see it in the picture I took, but keep in mind that the middle doesn't really look that much brighter in real life. On black backgrounds you can see some "IPS glow" where the corners look lighter than they should. And if you're sitting close to the monitor and look at the edges there's a "shadow" effect because of the gap between the backlight and the panel. From what I've read online these are both common even on more expensive IPS monitors though, and neither is very noticeable in day-to-day use. 75Hz is noticeably smoother than 60, and G-SYNC seems to work as advertised. There's a cool feature built into the monitor where you can show a chart of the FPS to make sure it's working correctly. I don't really have the equipment/knowledge to measure color accuracy and pixel response times, but both seem pretty good. I found the various display modes a little confusing, since some settings (saturation, color temperature, etc.) are only available on certain modes. There's an "sRGB" option, which you'd think would be the most accurate, but if you pick that you can't adjust the brightness and as far as I know it's not factory calibrated or anything anyway. Overall I'm pretty happy with it, but not blown away. For the price though it's hard to complain.

You may need to disable any soun drivers already installed. Bob

I have another larger 4K monitor but I honestly think this one has an image that's just as sharp. It wasn't expensive and it works perfectly so I'm very glad I bought it. Recommended!

lasted a little over a year and now the backlight doesnt stay on, comes on for a second and then fades out. common failure back in the day but now it can only be caused by utterly crap design and parts. sucks because this is almost the only option for 21,5in with displayport

Probably the best for everyday needs ( I don't know what "know how" they used ),but ASUS monitors always outperformed -my old one 20" still display more vibrant colors than most newest models !

Excellent moniteur, très belles couleur, fluide.

great monitor. I use it for office work and it has a good picture quality. I don’t know if it would have a good picture for gaming, but for office work, it’s perfect.

Been using this for the past 3 years and my eye's never hurt once when using it, but then again rarely do they hurt when looking at most monitors nowadays, still the odd thing will cause strain but overall its a good little 75Hz monitor. Its very nice that it has Display port, HDMI and VGA, especially the VGA part because that means I can plug some older stuff into it as well. Its nice that it has speakers built inside but they are really quiet so its really hard to hear anything better than not having them at all (as that is what I was using till I got a set of speakers, which was the plan) Its nice to have the 3.5mm headphone jack, its what I use to plug my speaking into and free up space at the back of my computer to have my headset always plugged into (no more plugging and unplugging or having wires hang off the front panel of my PC making it look more clean, 69 Nice!) I have yet found a use for the D-Sub Port Don't really care about the free-sync/adaptive-sync, I haven't used that feature much
