The interface panel, bottom right is a little fiddly to work with, as the buttons are underneath the bezel at the bottom. They require a heavy hand to activate and I found myself moving the screen completely when I was pushing them. It is easier to hold the top of the screen while pressing them.
The buttons offer preset colour modes, 3D on or off, Main menu system, input selection and power.
The colour modes cover a wide gamut of settings to suit a variety of situations. The sRGB mode seemed to deliver the most accurate colours, and the theater and Scenery modes were useful for watching high definition video and for viewing pictures. Game Mode is designed for gamers who are susceptible to motion blur.
The 3D button allows the user to change standard 2D images into 3D. There is around a 4-5 second delay when pressing this button as the panel switches to the other mode. Obviously if you are looking at this without the relevant glasses, you get a ‘fuzzy' image, as seen above (right).
We found that this 2D-3D mode didn't work wonderfully well and that dedicated 3D content always looked much better. Much as we would have expected.
The VG23AH panel has several sub menu sections to cover a wide gamut of fine tuning. The first ‘Splendid' panel is used to switch between the various modes. The ‘Color' sub menu is only available when specific presets are used. The ‘Image' menu offers several useful settings, such as a trace free panel to help minimise any motion blur. The remaining menus offer fine tuning for the interface panels and input selection.
They gave themselves no room to suceed with this. 250 for all this? its bound to suffer in some areas.
I used this actually at a clan event in England and it was alright. Another guy next to it had an illyama and it was much better.
I agree with james, the price is too low for all this. of course the proart will be better, its £50 more and it doesnt ship with glasses or any 3d functionality.
These need to cost more to be as good or close to the leading 2D IPS screens.
I normally hate Dell, but this is a good indication of why ASUS need to stick to motherboards and graphics cards. Dell all the way for me in regards to screens.
Yup.
