To my surprise, this monitor actually has an external speaker as well! It’s located at the top of the monitor, and from the sound of it, is pointed away from the front of the monitor or directly up. It also turns out that I found the standard profile the most desirable (aside from a few minor tweaks to the contrast color balance,and temperature). The first thought I had upon powering it on was ‘Wow this is bright!’ In fact, I have the brightness turned all the way down and it can be a bit much if it’s the only thing on in the room, so I have a desk lamp on, which seems to offset it. All of these ports are facing downward, which made it very easy to feed the cables through the open hole in the base…a little cable management is never a bad thing. However my port of choice was HDMI so I could have one connection for both audio and video signals. The display shipped with VGA and DVIcables for video, and a 3.5 mm cable for an audio input. On the underside of the back panel of display is naturally where you’ll find the video inputs, as well as power adapter. Navigating the menu took a little practice, but I eventually got used to it. The power, menu, volume, and brightness controls are located on the underside of the right most part of the frame. The screen doesn’t rotate, but it tilts vertically which is definitely a nice touch! The base covers a good amount of surface area, so the unit is definitely stable. There is a bit of a wiggle when I accidentally bump it, but it’s very minor. The build quality is quite nice, the stand feels solid for the most part. I was able to find this for around $173 on Neweggso it definitely didn’t break the bank. I was easily able to check off everything on my list! I eventually came across the Asus VE247H… I’m not the best with model numbers, so it’s very possible that it wasn’t my first time coming across it. Especially with the irrational fear of things I couldn’t control…such as the unit shipping with dead pixelsthe bane of all displays everywhere. With so many different specs to compare and contrast (see what I did there?) narrowing down the options seemed like a nearly impossible feat. This feeling of joy was quickly followed up with feelings of being overwhelmed by the sheer number of options there are out there! I literally spent weeks scrolling through both written as well as video reviews on so many products, I simply lost track of my options after a certain point.
Asus ve247h vs asus ve248h tv#
Money was less than abundant when we first moved to Las Vegas, and I had been using my 40 in Samsung Smart TV for a display…which was nice, however I wanted something a bit more personal (including a desk area for The Rig to live) so the day I got a desk and was finally able to purchase a desktop display, I leaped with joy! Think of this as just another customer review.*
