After our rather critical review of the MS236H were are pleased to report that Asus have raised the bar with the release of their new ML248H panel. As a general screen for watching movies and playing games it is going to be a good purchase, and we also appreciate the very low power drain. This won't hit your electricity bill hard every quarter.
It isn't without fault, there is some colour bleed across the width of the screen and there is minor backlight leakage on the edges, with white balance slightly out, more so on the left of the screen.
Gaming and watching movies on the ML248H is a fine experience, thanks to the very fast response times and wonderful black definition. The black consistency is very strong from left to right, with only minor backlight leaks on the corners, hardly noticeable.
From an aesthetic point of view, it really doesn't get much better than this – Apple would be proud of the design and we can imagine that this will find a home in a living room, kitchen or bedroom with a Playstation 3 and modest sound system. 1080p quality is excellent and the screen faithfully reproduces a high level of detail.
We don't yet have confirmed pricing, but we would expect the screen to cost around £250 when it hits UK retail outlets.
KitGuru says: A massive improvement for Asus and a panel worth buying.
That sure is a sexy looking screen. wont be replacing my Dell 2405 mind you, but yeah very apple like by design, im sure thats intentional.
Very attractive looking screen, i like the black/white deal they got going on. Not sure id agree it was an apple design, but I get the point. connectivity is too limited for me, but I wouldnt be looking at this screen myself. decent enough looking model though, better than the last one.
Power consumption is excellent. Really love the LED technology for that aspect. I like the looks of this. my next move will be the 27 inch dell screen with 2560 res though. its 800 quid, so ill be a while saving for that one.
Attractively designed, but im not sold on that base design, seems rather flimsy looking. My friend has the last range and the base is hideous. they looked to have just slapped on another part to it !
Not sure technically its breaking any mould, but I like the idea of the pSU externally designed to keep it thin. Power consumption is great.
Still want to move up to a 30 inch, but cant afford it, and probably wont be able to for another year at least.
Sexiest screen ive seen for a long time, the rear is very well designed. the base is weird looking, seems like it would crumple in on itself??
Would like to see it in the flesh, 2ms is good though.
What is the point of removing DVI and keeping VGA? is this to suit people with old systems or something? I was going to jump all over this for having no DVI, but they gave a cable away for it so its ok I guess. still weird decision from ASUS. DVI is still the way it should be. displayport should also be an option.
Anybody have any idea if the ASUS ML238H is performing the same as this one. I was thinking of buying it in a few months since it’s in my price range but haven’t been able to find some professional reviews of it. I really like the nice look of it and judging by this review if they are the same and only the size is different i really want to buy one.
the specs look the same koRn. same LED backlight, 250 cd/m2, 10,000,000:1 dynamic. 1080p resolution. id say you would be getting close if not identical performance.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236095 user reviews here seem good Korn. looks like a hell of a deal actually.
Korn just found a classic deal there. i think id rather get the 238, big savings, for an inch smaller. Cant see anything else thats different.
Thank you for this review! You have convinced me to buy it …
