ASUS MK241H / MK221H

67% of the reviews on Amazon.com give this product a positive rating.

In this screen's defence, the features do, in part make up for the woeful lack of adjustability. You can connect up to three sources to the MK241 via the DVI, HDMI and D-SUB connections - unfortunately there's no component input, so Nintendo Wii owners...

In short, despite having some fine features, the Asus MK241H faces competition from models with better features and performance.

Of all the 24in TFTs we've seen, none has come close to matching the combination of quality and value offered by the Samsung SyncMaster 245B. The 245B can currently be picked up for a mouth-watering £260, a price no other quality screen has so far...

Built-in webcam, fast response time, good contrast

Colours are strongly saturated, speakers are tinny and lack bass

ASUS' MK241H is a solid 24in widescreen display. It has strongly saturated colours and some of its extras, such as the speakers, aren't perfect, but it should satisfy most media and gaming enthusiasts.

HDMI capable ; Built-in webcam

Poor image quality ; Not adjustable

Surprisingly good colour and horizontal viewing angles for a TN panel

Poor speakers ; External speaker passthrough doesn't disable monitor speaker ; Headphone passthrough sounds different to direct PC connection ; Better value elsewhere

The MK241H is a decent performer for what it is, but for AU$100 more you could have the vastly superior Dell 2408WFP or Samsung 245T, along with more video inputs, a USB hub, and in the case of the Dell a card reader. We think that's worth the trade...

1920 x 1200 Resolution, - 2ms response time and 3000:1 contrast ratio, - HDMI support, - Integrated webcam

Base does not swivel

ASUS is not a name you normally think about when considering a new LCD, but you need to start thinking of them. Their PG221 gaming LCD is amazing and the MK241 is one of the better 24-inch LCD's I have seen lately.
