-GoBengals- Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 [url="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236052"]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16824236052[/url] i plan on getting 3 of those.. 2 for myself, 1 for wife, before i do, wondering if anyone has had any personal experience with an ASUS monitor. it had great reviews from users.. 69 reviews.. 5 egg overall rating at newegg.... many of the good reviews mention dead pixels buy were fixable, etc.. it seems like a "get what you pay for" type of item..which is ok... its not like im going from 1200 monitors or anything...

steggyD Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Go by the eggs, but 69 isn't a really too big a pool of reviewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steggyD Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I actually bought an LCD TV through them. No bad pixels, all was well. You usually can't go wrong when you go by the egg reviews. So try it out, Asus used to make good mobos, but I hear Gigabyte is taking that title over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-GoBengals- Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 i think im gonna go with a high end 22" instead of a low end 24" seems like a wise move... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
