Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This monitor seems to be manufactured by different companies even though they have the same ASUS branding and model number. I ordered two of these monitors and one had the colors spot on with those on my laptop display while the other had washed out colors and reds appeared orange. I couldn't fix the washed out colors with any of the settings provided by the monitor nor manually changing the RGB parameters on the monitor and my NVIDIA settings. I promptly decided I couldn't deal with that and I returned the monitor with the washed out colors and received another one without any hassle. Amazon was great at sending me another monitor as fast as possible without any gimmicks. The two monitors I have now are great and colors are the same. I noted differences between the two monitors with the same model number. I will describe the good monitor first and the bad monitor second. The images will also be in the same order. Packaging 1.) Good: Handle on the packaging box is white. Bad: Handle is black. 2.) Good: Styrofoam protecting front and back of monitor. Bad: Styrofoam protecting top and bottom of monitor. 3.) Good: Quick Start Guide for VS228/VS229/VK228. Bad: Quick start guide for VS228/VS238/VS247 Monitor 1.) Good: Power LED is dark blue and dim. Bad: Power LED is light blue and bright. 2.) Good: Bottom of base is half metal and half plastic Bad: Bottom of base is all metal 3.) Good: Menu is smaller and not that bright Bad: Menu items are bigger and bright 4.) Good: Monitor is physically taller Bad: Monitor is physically shorter 5.) Good: Awesome colors Bad: Washed out colors and reds appear orange 6.) Good: When no signal is present blue screen is a dark blue Bad: Blue screen is a bright blue. 7.) Good: No effect on ASUS logo when turning on monitor Bad: ASUS logo appears from center towards the outside Aside from this small setback, the monitors are perfect for my setup. They have nice colors and work great with anything I throw at them.
