OPEN BOX - ASUS VE228H 21.5" LCD Monitor 21.5" HDMI, D-Sub, DVI

does not stay on long without blinking off. Do not buy refurbished ones

I needed to get a replacement monitor as our old Dell monitor bit the dust. We are using the monitor in a Business Office setting, so no gaming (at least none that I am aware of! ;) Big plus is that this monitor has speakers. Since we are using MS Teams now, all I had to add was a camera - no need to buy separate speakers and clutter up the users desk! The monitor looks great, the speakers are not "high fidelity" - but they do exactly what we need them to do, and the user is very happy with this monitor. Oh, and the price was right as well. ;) This is a good general purpose monitor and I would buy it again.

This was supposed to come in Friday this week, but it arrived today (Monday) super early! The set-up was extremely easy, the only downside really is what everyone else had already said: 1. No HDMI cable included; 2. Sound is low/quiet Really besides those, I cannot complain because of the quality of this monitor for the price. And besides, we have an extra HDMI cable sitting around at home, and I plan to buy a speaker anyways. The screen is matte, so there is little to no glare for much better viewing experience. This monitor does what it's supposed to, and does it well! Recommend to anyone who is looking for a cheap monitor that has built-in speakers.

This is a good all-purpose monitor. I use it as a monitor in my truck for movies and casual gaming. The integrated speakers are OK at best if you have no other alternative but it has an output for headphones/external speakers. The monitor is made from a shiny black plastic which means that it is a real fingerprint magnet and it is really easy to scratch. I was careful but after a week of using it I already have a big scratch on the bezel.

Shipped fast and arrived in great condition. Thank you!! Great monitor. I use my computer for 3-4 hours a day maximum, and don't do any gaming. I really like the size, it's sturdy and easy to wipe clean from dust, and easy to adjust the angle of the screen. The only thing I don't like is that you can't get the brightness to go very low. Even at the lowest level, my eyes get a little tired after looking at it for a long time - it's not like a laptop that goes all the way from almost black to very very bright. In fact, I keep it on the lowest setting all the time and I find that I don't ever need to turn it up, even when it's sunny. I use a Macbook and usually keep the laptop closed, and when I use this monitor, the WiFi sometimes takes a few minutes to connect. I've read that this is common with monitors and Macbooks - something about the wavelengths of the monitor interfering with the ability of the Macbook to find WiFi. The problem always fixes itself in a couple of minutes and there are no problems after.
