    Asus MS236H [Review]

    Roydon Cerejo, Dec 16, 2009 1212 hrs IST

    Has the look of a supermodel but found lacking in some areas

    Slim design, low power consumption, good build quality, HDMI, unique stand

    Touch buttons are not very responsive, expensive, no DVI, NTSC colour gamut is not very wide (72% only)

Design and Construction



The TN panel has a matt finish with a native resolution of 1920x1080. The colour gamut is not very high, as it covers just 72% of the NTSC spectrum. So you can expect slight banding issues in the colour bar tests. The max brightness is average at 250cd/m2.



The MS236H comes with a laptop styled power adapter, since a regular power socket would have been too big for this slim profile. The other ports include VGA, HDMI and a headphone/audio-out jack. Like I said before, there's no DVI, so if you need that then they have another model, which unfortunately is not currently available in India.



All the menu buttons including the power button are touch sensitive. When you touch the dots the function name lights up. One little niggle with this is that the sensitivity is not the best. So, when you touch the surface of the bezel, many a times your touch is not registered and you need to press it a couple of times, which can get annoying.



This is something we don't see everyday; the stand is screwed on the back and then you can slide the monitor backwards and forwards. This is where we ran into a small issue. Since the monitor rests on a circular stand, it's never upright. So if you're used to having the monitor sit at a 90 degree angle from where you sit, then this is not possible with the Asus, as it perpetually has a backward tilt. While this may look cool, it's a bit awkward after years of using a monitor that sits upright.
