Our ASUS VW222 Review Has Been Updated

Last week, I posted that our ASUS VW222 monitor review would be updated, and it now has been with the help of an addendum at the end of the review.

It does turn out that our original review sample was defective, and the replacement model improves on a few aspects. However, even with these improvements, the monitor still doesn’t impress us. The color and gradients have been improved, but the very sub-par image quality remains, which we hold great weight to.

The fact that this monitor didn’t do too much to impress us is surprising, since it’s the first-ever ASUS product we’ve reviewed that we were not entirely pleased with. I have personally taken a look at two of their displays in the past and was pleased with their performance overall, but the VW222 didn’t deliver quality even comparable to those.

ASUS is a company that likes to excel at what they do, and they have taken heart to our considerations and criticism, so I have little doubt we will see more impressive displays from them soon. They have just released their first 24″ display, the MK241H, which offers fantastic specs, such as 450cd/m2, 3000:1 digital contrast ratio, 2ms GtG response time, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, HDMI and DVI-D support and on top of that, it boasts a 130% color gamut.

We are unsure of the panel used, and it’s difficult to guess given the low response time and high color gamut. We are touching base with ASUS to see if we can find out which is used, and possibly deliver a review in the weeks to come.
