ASUS VX238H 1ms Gaming Monitor Review

ASUS has been fairly busy lately in the monitor department and their design ethos from the MX Designo Series is starting to trickle down to some of their entry level models with fairly eye catching results.

The ASUS VX238H is the first case in point with an ultra slim profile coming in at 13.9mm thick and the reminiscent sun dial inspired stand which looks mint and is more importantly, very stable. The screen is a TN panel which essentially means you are sacrificing viewing angles for speed and response time and when you consider that this monitor is entry level at 239AUD and that it houses a panel that can do 1ms Grey to Grey Response times, you wonder why it wasn't marketed directly as a gaming monitor.


Screen
In person the screen is of decent quality and ASUS bundles their typical smart contrast ratios and different colour correction modes based on the content you plan to watch or interact with. There's an alignment grid overlay which is useful when you consider that you have your own choices in regards to image editing software and did we mention that it's a 23 inch panel as well?

As mentioned, 23 inches is seen to be perfect for gaming monitors in terms of size and pixel density when it comes to Full HD screens. It's popular because you can sit relatively close to the panel without seeing individual pixels and that's a big plus in the gaming community. Inject the decent asking price and 1ms response times and you have what is by and large a very positive value proposition for a very niche portion of the market.
