ASUS VH236H Amazon says this is a 21.5 inch monitor but I have seen it on other sites listed as 23 in. Which is it? Please help...Thanks!

This is a bona fide 23" monitor. I like the brightness and sharpness very much, it works well for me for watching movies while lounging on my bed, when connected to my Asus UL30A laptop via the included VGA cable. The HDMI setup has been cumbersome and I may scrap it altogether. Sound via the UL30A' s built in speakers is good/loud enough, that it may not be worthwhile to waste a 1/2 hour figuring it out. Anyway, I got the 15' cable for ~6 bucks, so no big deal.

I just setup this monitor today and mine is not 23 inches. What gives? Mine measures to 21.5

Are you measuring along the bottom edge or from the bottom left corner to the top right corner?

Todd, I am sorry to say that I returned the monitor 3 days after I received it. I'm a heating & air conditioning contractor. I wanted a 32" screen to be able to see a larger portion of a mechanical plan all at one time. I have two 21" monitors. I replaced one of them with the 32" monitor. In order to get the resolution good enough to read a drawing I would have to zoom into the drawing to the same point as what I could see on the other 21" monitor. My 21" monitors are Acer with MUCH better overall display than the 32" NEC. I was disappointed the NEC 32" monitor didn't work out for me. However, Amazon handled the return in an excellent manner. Hope that helps. Todd, I am sorry to say that I returned the monitor 3 days after I received it. I'm a heating & air conditioning contractor.

Michael, A little less than 2". BTW, I am very satisfied with the monitor. No complaints at all. Roger Polcyn

Boy that larger screen is pretty appealing to me! I'm actually hoping that Amazon will have it for more like $500. Newegg seems to be a little more expensive on other items when compared to Amazon. Plus Newegg charges another $20 to ship. Fingers crossed.....

Also this monitor is a 15", I am getting the impression that your laptop is 12"? If so you need to get the 12" one.

I bought a dell monitor at Amazon for 149.95 and it came without the base and they did nothing to help make it right.Nothing but the run around.I recomend not doing business with them.

lol read the description. there are like 4 areas where they discuss all the specs of this. This one is 1080p 16:9.

I suspect that this laptop only has the 1,366x768 that is listed everywhere else. Whenever the one I ordered finally gets here (taking an oddly long time), I will update if the resolution is indeed 1920x1080 (altho I highly doubt it). Hope this helps.

Dante,Thank you for the reply! Just FYI: I ended up with a Dell U3011 and a 5 year Dell warranty (direct from Dell). My Dell Workstation (Precision) has two monitors, so I might upgrade from the current 24" to the U2711, but not right away.

Thanks for the replies. Actually I haven't made my decision yet. I didn't know which to get and just decided to wait, but I am thinking I will go with the larger size. Would it be better to get the 6"x11" since I have a wide screen monitor? or does it really matter?

The UX21A comes in both 1366x768 and 1920x1080 resolutions, although you'd be forgiven for thinking otherwise as this is difficult to determine, even on ASUS's product page. They've been advertising and sending out 1920x1080 units to reviewers all year, but nearly all of the units for sale are the 1366x768 versions. It's irritating, isn't it? Especially considering this is the only option for a decent resolution in a smaller form factor.

A 24" monitor is the match to your card. This monitor is "wide screen" ... I'd predict it would look funky. If 1900x1080 is your vid card max, move up. Vid cards are cheap.

Of course it also depends on what you believe, the specs say 1920x1080 for the screen but the description says 1366x768, for the price I'm guessing the 768 but the review model that anandtech got was 1080. But they expected the price to be 1200-1500 and asus told them that they would probably ship lower cost models with.. you guessed it 768 screens. I'd hold off till someone at amazon updates everything to be accurate. I really want this but I'm not willing to guinea pig it.

Monitors under 24" have 1 year warranties from Dell. Getting warranty service for products not purchased directly from Dell isn't straightforward. They'll give you the run around, and it's a huge hassle and IMHO not worth it. I bough this monitor and had flicking issues 6 months later. Support was non-existent. Let's just say this is the last monitor I'm buying from Dell - ever. Not worth the trouble, IMHO.

bought this monitor but when i hook it up with a HDMI cable is tells me i need to connect a VDI cable?? i can't get the menu to come up? the monitor came with no paperwork. NOt sure how to contact this company for tech support. I went on line and left a message and got a return message to contact ASUS in the USA but gave me no info on how to contact them. Please help

You can use different size monitors, but they need to be close to the same size because of trying to align them to work together more smoothly. I am not sure about 24 and 21.5. Sorry.
