OK I would like a little help to save me hours / days of googling etc. Im currently having this issue and will try and post the EDID info when I get home, it works properly under Vista however it is not functioning properly in Windows 7. It is being seen as a television, while with my nvidia card I can select a pc mode on my monitors osd which is not available in Vista nor 7 with my 4870 from Visiontek (it appears the monitor hides this setting). Im using a Hannspree 25' Panel - exact model is HF259HPB It loses the refresh rate for some reason under Windows 7, i.e. It drops back to 30 hz and the screen doesnt stretch i have a black frame around it.
This happens after rebooting, and after playing a game when I return to my desktop. Thanks Dyre Straits thats the sort of thing I need. I have already given some examples of monitors but the more the better since AMD/ATI dont own every single monitor under the sun unfortunately. If you can get the EDID that would be great along with card make and model and BIOS version number.
@ xsvcd Thats more of a workaround, and more useful for HDMI sound issues. I want purely HDMI monitors and TV's since certain features only currently work on HDMI displays (like the Overscan / underscan and the pixel format settings) If the monitor is detected as DVI you dont get those settings. I am also trying to get them available on DVI if possible so that it doesn't eventually matter too much if its detected as DVI or HDMI (appart HDMI sound reasons of course) as the features should then be available.
Plus most of the people posting there are dealing with AMPs so the EDID's arent particularly useful in this circumstance. I would rather people got an easier experience for the main things graphics cards are used for (ie displaying things on monitors / TV's) HDMI sound is a secondary consideration which is already being looked at within AMD/ATI.

Firstly, I would like to apologise for reviving an old thread! But I had good reason to. I have an Iiyama Prolite E2403WS, which I have recently tried to use the DVI-HDMI cable (from my 8800GTS 512. Yes, I know, its not AMD/ATI) again, after giving up on using it last summer. Since then, I have been using the VGA input of my monitor instead. I have been reading so many stories about HDMI issues on all sorts of makes of monitor. Amongst it, I came across the EDID entry that can be added to the nvdisp.inf:- 'In the nvSoftwareDeviceSettings section add the following: HKR, OverrideEdidFlags0,%REGBINARY%, 1E,6D,3F,56,00,00,FF,FF,04,00,00,00,7E,01,00 The first 4 bytes (1E,6D,3F,56) in my OverrideEdidFlags0 are specific to the LG monitor I'm using.
For other monitors, you will need to replace them. Using Phoenix EDID Designer, extract the current EDID and open up the byte viewer. The bytes are in byte 8 through 11.' This morning, I tried using bytes 8-11 (00,26,CD,04) from Tonyxp's raw data post above, with no joy.
Chimei Cmv 222h Drivers For Macbook Pro
Admittedly, I have to make an educated guess about where to put the above edit, as nvSoftwareDeviceSettings does not appear to exist in any drivers higher then 182.50. I placed the edit in a section of the new 190.38 WHQL's nvdisp.inf in a section showing similar code lines to the original section talked about. Unfortunately, I was still restricted to 1024x768; 800x600; 480p (had to add final resolution, only HD res that would play ball). I would appreciate if anyone can read through this novel and comment on it all, especially as regards to the four bytes I used.
Just bought one yesterday, fantastic! I bought the BenQ then took it back and swapped it for the Asus. The only issues I have with the VW is a small amount of back light bleeding, this is relatively small (a lot less than the BenQ I had for a day) and isn't all that noticeable even when watching letter boxed movies. The other issue is the speakers. They face upwards through the heat grill on the top/back of the monitor which makes them fairly quiet. But hey what do you expect from monitor speakers anyway right?
Overall the image is great, no ghosting that I have noticed. The OSD has almost all the screen settings so you don't need software/drivers to get a decent image and change things like gamma, colour temps, saturation etc. I noticed the BenQ was extremely limited in this regard. The casing looks great, it has a really nice glossy black coating around the edges and who doesn't like the slick silver ASUS logo;) I'm using this monitor for both PC (DVI) and Xbox 360 (VGA). My main concern for the 360 when I was searching for a 22' was the stretching from 16:9 to 16:10. I have since given up as the difference is barely noticeable and I'm pretty dam picky!
The reason I first picked up the BenQ is because when using the 360 it actually displayed the 16:9 image correctly. The VW222U also has pixel mapping but when I set the Xbox 360 to display in 1280x1024 / wide screen it does 1:1 pixel mapping and leaves a large black area on the left part of the screen. Oh the VW can also change to 4:3 if you are playing old games, so that's something some people may appreciate. Anyway the 360 looks great on this monitor and the higher contrast ratio does make a difference. If anyone wants something tested just ask. Like CPU boy I fully recommend this monitor!
Nam Ttams, question for you (regarding using the VW with the 360). When you set the resolution to 1360x768 on the xbox, are you able to set the pixel mapping on/off on the monitor? Ie, can you choose to have the black lines (16:9) or stretched (16:10) mode? If you would be able to try this, it would be much appreciated! No when set at 1360x768 the image is stretched to fir the entire screen, 16:10. The pixel mapping only seems to work for 1280x1024 but this displays the image as a 4:3 ratio. So it's not widescreen.
My advice is to look at a 22' display with a stretched image and see if it bothers you. I was extremely paranoid about the stretching but after viewing the difference first hand and in the comfort of my own home. It became a non issue. I'm extremely happy with this monitor is use with an Xbox 360. I bought this monitor a few weeks back also and absolutely love it. Actually bought it the day msy received it.
And glad I got it so quickly because I hear now that they're already out of stock. Anyway I hear a lot of you guys talking about using this monitor to play your Xbox360 on. And was wondering if it's possible to also play a PS2 on this monitor?
It sounds like the Xbox360 comes with a VGA cable, which unfortunately the PS2 didn't come with. But does anyone know of an RCA-VGA converter or similar that would enable me to hook my PS2 up to this monitor? Have you got a TV tuner card? I have the ASUS VW222U and a PS2.
I plug the PS2 into the S-Video socket on my DVICO tuner card. It doesn't look too bad. I'm really happy playing Pro Evolution 5&6 on it in widescreen (even though it's a little stretched). Nah I don't have a tuner.
Although I've just had a look at my graphics card and it apparently supports VIVO (Video In Video Out). And it came with an RCA-S-Video adaptor so I might have to give that a try. I'll just have to find a way to hook up some speakers to it. Might just have to use the monitor speakers. Haven't tried them yet, they any good?
EDIT: Turns out it doesn't have VIVO. It's an option on my video card that unfortunately I didn't get. Having a small problem with my monitor. Wondering if it's happening to anyone else. Every now and then the screen just blanks out for about 1 second, as if it's refreshing itself or something. It usually happens on startup, a few moments after Windows loads.
It then sometimes happens when I start playing back video files or playing games, but other than that it seems to happen at completely random times. I have searched the net for this issue and found nothing, so I'm guessing I'm the only one experiencing this. So I'm thinking it may not be the monitor but maybe my other hardware, particularly my graphics card. The only problem with that theory though is that I never had this problem with my old monitor, a 19' Acer LCD.
Not really a huge problem, it doesn't bother me too much, but if anyone else has or had this problem and/or knows a cure then I'd definitely like to know. EDIT: My GPU is an ATi - HIS X1650Pro IceQ. In case that makes a difference. Also paulfx, you can pick up a VGA-DVI adaptor from MSY for $5, other stores like dick smiths and tandy charge about $30. Yes, i think its because of the stretch in pixels. DVD format is only 720.576 and our native resolution is 1680.1050 hence the washed out pixelated image. Looks alot better at a distance though.
When 1920. 1080p is world standard and we all have 1080p monitors we wont have these problems but this will have to do till then Forgive me for my ignorance, but I don't understand how having 1920x1080 will improve things when the DVD format is still 720x576. 1080 isn't exactly 2x576, so won't it still have to rescale the image, resulting in pixelated images like on 1680x1050?
Got mine today, it's a very nice monitor (apart from the backlight bleeding, a bit more prominent than I expected), except. It's got a scratch on it from a little particle of something that's kind of embedded in the monitor. Would MSY honour this under return? It was like this out of the box, I never touched the front and still haven't touched the front, when I turned it on I initially thought it was a dead pixel. When I turned it off, it made the particle visible.
I've been very cautious and careful with the whole thing the entire time, I'm not one to let the worth of $350 become diminished. I just got my VW222U up and running Nice. I got one couple of days back as well. You tested it for backlight bleed?
I noticed mine had fair bit of backlight bleed along the top and bottom edges mostly, but I dont think its affected me during normal use. Otheriwse its quite a nice monitor, though I havent used similar widescreen LCDs before to really compare. Picture feels rather bright and I had to tone it down. Menu is a bit fiddly but you get used to it eventually. Cant adjust the height but can tilt to a reasonable angle.
Tried some fps games, didnt really notice the so called 'ghosting' issue but it definitely does feel different to a CRT monitor. Edit: here r some pics of mine.
I bought 2 from MSY yesterday for $345 each. The first one had a dead pixel, so I will take it back. Overall I am a little disappointed.
I think that is because I have been working on an Apple 23' LCD for the past 6 weeks. Even still the ASUS panels cost the same amount together as one 20' Apple LCD.
Much better value though there are a few outstanding issues I have with the panel. The Good: Great colour fast response time sharp picture good looking externally (nice black rim and circular stand) The bad: Serious backlight bleed when watching movies in widescreen (the white glow is okay but very noticeable) Nasty, nasty colour bleeding towards the bottom of screen. The dock in mac os looks so washed out, and the task bar in windows is that way too. I'm a designer so I like to look at an even screen. It seems the ASUS panels have quite a serious discolouration towards the bottom. But i guess it is a case of you get what you pay for. If I had $2400 to spend on 2 apple 23' panels I wouldn't have been disappointed, but my bank would be hurting.
I'll give them a go, and I'm sure I'll get used to it. If you do have a bit more money, the Apple LCD's are without a doubt the best panels on the market today. If its dead pixel as in black msy only covers that if theres 3 or more. I dont know if they actually plug it in and look for them when u return it tho Thanks guys.
I'll tell them that there is a few dead pixels. If they don't exchange it, I'll call ASUS. They should though, I was in there on Monday and I guy came in with a hard drive, he said it was faulty and they just gave him a new one, no questions asked. I thought that was crazy, cause the guys in the city I have been dealing with send them back to WD and it takes WEEKS! I'm always going to MSY for my HD's from now on. Back on topic.
The ASUS looks a lot better than the Dell. And I'm slowly getting used to it.
I played UT2004 on it yesterday and boy did it look good, watched Jaws last night and the backlight bleed is pretty unoticable, and on the 'theatre mode' it seems to be less obvious. Colour is really good, so it's OK for photo work/design, except for the discolouration at the bottom. I've spent hours trying to adjust my viewing angle and I can't seem to improve on it. I'm really interested in getting this monitor now, I want to get it mainly for a XBox 360 which ill get at the same time. My main question is if you have a XBox (Through VGA) and a PC (Through DVI) plugged into the Monitor how does it go about switching between the two of them?
Is there a button on the monitor for that? We sell the MW at work but after reading this im pretty much sold on just getting the VW since my main Tv is an big old panasonic and wont do the xbox justice, and I could use my PC and Xbox on the same monitor in my room would be pretty sweet just. Just basicly how does it go about switching when both are plugged into the monitor. Does anyone have any good colour profile settings for the VW222U? My main question is if you have a XBox (Through VGA) and a PC (Through DVI) plugged into the Monitor how does it go about switching between the two of them? Is there a button on the monitor for that?
I use an Xbox 360 with the VGA cable, and PC with a DVI. There's an item in the menu to switch between the two - it can be a bit of a hassle sometimes, though. The menu isn't the easiest to navigate with the buttons. If one of the connections stops (ie. If the PC goes on standby), it will switch to the other connection. For instance, if I turn off the 360, it will automatically switch the display to the PC. That's a neat aspect.
Speaking of aspects, you'll notice a bit of stretching running a 360, since it's a 16:10 monitor and the 360 can only output to 16:9 resolutions (the inbuilt scaler only puts black bars around 4:3 resolutions). It didn't turn me off too much, though. Can't wait to play Mass Effect on Thursday! I've recently installed my new Asus VW222U, using the supplied DVI cable, have also downloaded and installed the driver from Asus website. Graphics card is Nvidia 7300GT, OS Win XP home.
In control panel/setting, the information of the display is: ASUS VW222 (Analog) on Nvidia GeForce 7300GT. I would have thought this should have shown the Asus as digital. Have any of you folks who have installed the above monitor have the same information on their Windows XP display settings? Be grateful to hear from you or anyone with some suggestion as to whether this is normal.
Would it be wrong of me to start a new thread with a voting poll to face off this monitor with the chimei 221D, Samsung 226BW and Dell E228WFP in relation to quite a few variables in my circumstance: 1. Would be using it for web design in linux (GIMP, InkScape) 2. Also Programming 3. I also game a bit.
Would eventually buy a 2nd one identical to the first (colour calibration purposes in linux).edit: the limit is around the $450 mark, the lower it is the quicker it is to buy two. Plus if I don't like the colour of the chimei but like the viewing angles, I can replace the 51Cm CRT Tv plugged in my digital MythTV setup. Hi all I also have the ASUS VW222U and I agree its the best monitor around, only cost me $365 and im using a HDMI to DVI cable from my ASUS G1S to output to the monitor at 1680x1050 and its crystal clear, no imperfections and has HDCP and 2ms timing, what else could you ask for. I also just checked my video settings and I can crank it up to 1920x1080 with my laptops built in 8600M GT graphics processor - god struth just discovered it:) lol. I have a PS3 but havent connected it to it yet to see the difference, should I try it?
Bought this monitor for Mum for Christmas from MSY @ $335 It's a great buy. I've tested it in CS for FPS gaming and it's almost as good as a CRT (comparing my Philips 109P40).
Ghosting etc. Is surprisingly good and extremely minor - I could play using this monitor no problems, while I have problems with a 2407WFP-HC for example. This leads me to believe the pixel response is very quick - the only thing that's lacking is the refresh rate 60Hz - if it could do 100Hz there would be no refresh-rate ghosting (ie. Can see half the image when very quick movement because the refresh rate line cant keep up - which is minor anyway). There is no noticeable input lag.
Picture, image quality are very good and I'm surprised how far TN technology has come. I'd have very few problems getting one for myself and running this as my primary display (or giving my CRT to mum and taking this one:P), but CRT is marginally better for FPS games, colour etc. And I'd rather spend it on something else.
I recommend a 22' TN with 2ms wholeheartedly for FPS gamers who have a dying CRT, but of course if it's still working or you can still find a professional CRT for a cheap price, you should stick with CRT:) Unexpectedly I'm almost ready to move over to LCD - when the true 100Hz ones come out I'm sold. Buy the asus? If the price is the same, I would say the Dell E228WFP.
As far as 22' goes its: Samsung 226BW Dell E228WFP Asus VW222U But at that online price E228WFP is overpriced. If you're going to pay that much, get a 226BW.
If you want to save $$, get a VW222U. In my case it was for Mum and she doesn't even need a 22' - a 19' would do fine, but there's not much difference in the price these days so I thought may as well.
If it were for me, I'd get a 226BW and try and get an S panel - failing that I'd get a E228WFP. Whats a CRT are those the old chunky monitors like my current 19' screen? Spot on (Im getting a 22' on friday probably the Asus one) the asus monitor is great.
No problems with my one. Ive heard the samsung 226bw is the next step up from the asus vw222u but will cost you an extra $100 and if they dont why do they make them and not CRT?
The reason i would buy a lcd over is crt is because the lcd looks better and takes up less space and this is probably the case with alot of other people buying lcd's over crt's. I bought the HDMI to DVI cable for my PS3, received it today to test it with on this 'kickass' Asus VW222U 2ms LCD. The monitor says out of range. The Xbox 360 HDMI work's FINE. The PS3 is outputting 50Hz? When I changed the resolution on the HDMI cable it says your monitor does NOT.
support 50Hz in the main menu so it auto selects 60Hz. Although I am upset with Asus on this one, this is simply retarded that Sony would do this us.
But hey, I am not surprised. I've been trying to find a work around for this but at this time have been unsuccessful.UPDATE. WORK AROUND You have to blindly select 720p or higher in the main menu for it work (plug BOTH the AV and HDMI to help navigate for the blind stuff happens), Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to Planet Ratchet. Would I be better off going to MSY for the dead pixel policy? I bought my VW222U from MSY two weeks ago. I interpreted their dead pixel policy like this: No (0) bright pixels for the first seven days and less than 3 black pixels. However, when I asked the guy behind the desk at Pascoe Vale, he didn't distinguish between black and bright pixels, and said that any dead pixels within the first seven days warrants a replacement, and any pixel issues after the seven days can be taken up with ASUS who will replace the monitor.
Considering dead pixels is mostly a manufacturing issue, it is unlikely that pixels should die immediately after the first seven days. Anyway, the VW222U is inherently a high quality monitor, so purchasing one of these is far less of a lottery than other cheaper monitors. I would just get it from MSY. I bought the HDMI to DVI cable for my PS3, received it today to test it with on this 'kickass' Asus VW222U 2ms LCD. The monitor says out of range.
This is a kick arse Asus VW222U, becuase if you had done your research you would find you had to hold the power button on until you heard a second beep, then press left then X twice, that it would work. I have it running on it right now. And for your sound use your AV connection get a stero jack, and plugg your speakers into it. So much for this 'Kickass' monitor hey.UPDATE. WORK AROUND You have to blindly select 720p or higher in the main menu for it work (plug BOTH the AV and HDMI to help navigate for the blind stuff happens), Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to Planet Ratchet. Please explain more,so you got your one working? Can you please tell me the steps while you were taking blind stuff.im a ps3 nerd.never had one lol.so ya sorry to bother mate.
As long as i know that I can get this monitor working for ps3.i will get a ps3 next day. Thanks in advance. Bought one today from MSY, very happy. No bad pixels (although I now have a big headache from 'Dead Pixel Buddy'). Unlike many of the other 22' displays out there, the ASUS comes with a DVI cable as well as VGA, not to mention 4 power cables (US, UK, Euro + Aus)!
3 year warranty is nice too. Good deal for $335.
+1 Got mine 2 days ago, no dead/stuck pixels, in and out of MSY in 5 minutes (Thanks to Pascoe Vale express lane:D) The MSY guy had to jump onto some big box full of something and throw down 3 ChiMei 946s to mer before I could get my monitor:D. So I posted a while ago in this thread about interest in this monitor and my old flatscreen CRT is really starting to die so im pretty sure come pay day i'll head over to MYS or ITestate and get me one, I just got a few questions if anyone could answer them: Whats the lifespan on a monitor like these like? (I hear ppl talk about it in hours but thats kinda confusing really, who measures mass ammounts of time in hours?) Since this is kinda becoming and old model (in terms of being on the market) do you think ASUS will replace it soon? Ive got a bit of confusion too between some of the posts about the 7day dead pixel thing at MSY, is it that I take it back to them in 7days or what? And does ITestate do the same thing in this regard?
Thanks guys I look forward to playing my 360 on this thing too I know alot of you guys do, lol im just not sure how much I really need 22inchs lol, im sure ill find a way to manage:). OK can someone explain why the V version is 'superior' to the M?
The VW has a dynamic contrast ratio of 2000:1 (static is 1000:1), the MW has a static contrast ratio of 700:1. Asus MW221U Contrast Ratio: 700:1 Brightness: 300cd/m2 Viewing angle: 170H/160V Connections: DVI, VGA, 3.5mm HDCP: Yes Dimensions: 514 x 401 x 228 Asus VW222U Resolution: 1680 x 1050 Contrast Ratio: 2000:1 Brightness: 300cd/m2 Viewing angle: 170H/160V Connections: DVI, VGA, 3.5mm HDCP: Yes Pixel Pitch: 0.282MM Speakers: Yes Technically the VW222U is better. Hey sorry to do this, but ive tried reading thru this thread but there is too much. Could someone answer this please: i have the mw221u, an it has two flaws: 1) i setup the value of sharpness i want. But when the lcd turns off it forgets this value.
So when i turn the monitor back on, the sharpness is at 160 again, instead of 20!!!! So its so annoying to change that all the time, everytime i boot 2) i have to hold the menu button for 5 secs, then go from overdrive on to off, then back to on. An thats how i stop the lcd from ghosting.
Also VERY annoying to do everytime i boot. So, does the freakin VW222U have this problems or similar? I really dont want to RMA it. Im thinking of buying the VW222U and giving the mw to my unsuspecting parents!!!!!! The 226bw is too pricy and looks stupider, so im going with asus again.
ASCR is useless, it's basically dynamically adjusting the intensity of the backlight according to the scene on display. Making it irritating to watch as the brightness is constantly changing. I find that using other modes other than the standard setting seriously compressed the range shades of colour on display, sutle details are often disappeared into the dark while the colour saturation jack way up. You can not get 1:1 pixel mapping on this monitor, therefore your 16:9 content will stretch to fit in the 16:10 screen.
However this monitor does accept 1080p signal from the PS3. I was wanting to get a 22' lcd tv, but would it be a better option just to get this monitor + an HD set top box (around $400-$450 total) then get a similar size lcd tv? I've been looking into this a lot recently, and I decided it's a better idea to get an LCD TV.You have to make sure you get a monitor that can do 50Hz refresh rate. This one only goes as low as 56Hz so chances are you'll get an 'out of range' error or something similar.22' LCD monitors can't display 1080p HD (but they can do 720p) -Monitors are 16:10, TVs are 16:9 and neither the set top box nor the monitor are going to add black bars on the top and bottom for you. So it'll be stretched slightly.
I think a better solution is either to get a digital tuner card for your computer (cheaper, and lets you record), or get an LCD TV (more expensive, but less mucking around and it'll just work). ASCR is useless, it's basically dynamically adjusting the intensity of the backlight according to the scene on display. Making it irritating to watch as the brightness is constantly changing.
I noticed that as well, made it impossible to watch a movie with it on. Im not sure what the benefits of it are since its sold as one of the monitors best new features. I only got the monitor a week ago and do love it tho, but yeah im still trying to find the right balance in the settings for normal usage or movie watching (just using standard atm). BEST BUY IN MY LIFE. Thats $379 I will never regret spending. Ihe monitor is perfect in everyway.
Wholeheartedly agree with the OP's claim. I registered here just to thank the OP and others on this board for helping me decide. I had been debating between the Asus VW222U and the Samsung 226BW for a while now and was hesitating due to the switch and bait job Samsung pulled as regards the panel lottery. There are no S panels to be found now for sure. On the other hand, there were hardly any reviews on the lower priced Asus except for this thread.
Well, I took the plunge yesterday and bought the Asus VW222U and I must say it's the best bang for the buck as far as 22' monitors in this price range goes. 100% satisfied - absolutely gorgeous minimalist design in black, perfect screen with ZERO dead pixels.
And it is really bright, I had to dial back to 40% or wear shades. Colors are great with a little tuning, other than that no complaints except for the light bleed top and bottom as noted already. 100% recommended. This monitor is a fantastic underrated buy. If you've been looking for a 22' get the VW222U now before the rest of the world finds out. Worth the extra $35?
I would pay the extra just to be able to use the Asus Splendid feature, but if it didn't have that, I may not pay the extra. I got to pay $329 + $33 postage from itestate to hobart for the asus, so im thinking is the dell ok for gaming compared to the asus if i save $62 $62 would be a good saving IMO.
I love the stand as well compared to the ugly round base on the asus. The stand on the Dell is definitely better than the Asus, its a lot heavier, thus being a lot sturdier.
With the VW222U, you'll be either dealing with MSY or some online shop - both worse than Dell. Rememeber stuff from the Dell outlet isn't completely new, and only has 30 day warranty though. Bloody useless DELL grrrrrr ok called the 1800 number on this page. Some indian call centre lady answered and i could hardly hear her let alone understand her, so i hung up. Called again, same thing, she asked for my number and name, i gave it to her, she put some music on, i waited 5 minutes and she came back telling me no spare reps to talk to, can she get them to call me back. I said NO it wasnt convenient.
I thought dealing with dell aust was easy, and i thought their phone service was run from within australia, not from an indian call centre. As a fellow Hobartian, I feel your pain! It sucks getting stung on the postage. IT Estate are known for their high postage too. Centrecom in melb is $18 postage for their screens but they are more expensive than itestate, and at the moment itestate have just put their prices on nearly everything down quite a lot so its hard not to buy from them, even though they have a min $33 postage fee on a box of goodies.
I can order 8 internal items to build a whole pc from them and save over $100 including paying the $33 postage, and a pc case empty is also $33 and a lcd is $33 so $99 to post all 3 lots is a pain, centrecom is $54 but their stock at the moment is dearer. I found an ebay seller who had a pc listed similar to what i want to build only it had a Q6600 cpu and a crap mobo, so i emailed him to quote me to build a new CM 690 case with CM extreme 550 psu, E8200 cpu, EP35- DS3 mobo, 3gb 800 ram, 8800gt 512, asus burner and a 500gb samsung hdd and he can do it for $100 less than i can buy the parts for online even at itestate, and it included his postage of $32 to hobart from sydney. I dont know where these guys make their money but u also got to trust these guys and thats the problem. Good morning PC Hardware land i am looking at getting this monitor ($327-odd from MSY) to use primarily for an HTPC my main concern is the viewing angle. I usually have a tough time believing much that i read in official specs so i thought i would look for some real world opinions:-) i am not looking for something that is perfectly viewable at 179.95 degrees, i just want something that will look reasonable for a couple of people to be watching at a reasonable distance - will this monitor do the trick? Also does anyone know what the warranty on it is? That page doesnt seem to mention one.
My main concern is the viewing angle. I usually have a tough time believing much that i read in official specs so i thought i would look for some real world opinions:-) TN panels generally have the worst viewing angles. But for everyday use its totally fine, on extreme angles, of course, going away from the central point of view it becomes distorted and the colours change somewhat, but its not that bad at all these days with newer monitors. I am not looking for something that is perfectly viewable at 179.95 degrees, i just want something that will look reasonable for a couple of people to be watching at a reasonable distance - will this monitor do the trick? TN panels generally vary from 160 / 160 to 170 / 170 and that's loosely based on the measuring techniques used. VA and IPS are really the only type of panels that offer wide viewing fields.

Yes, I had this problem. I bought my ASUS VW222U back in October 2007. From the start there was a very occasional black out. It was random. At that stage, I thought I just needed to update a driver. One night it got to a point where it was blanking out very frequently, and for a long time (minutes?). Did some tests and determined that it worked fine via VGA but not DVI.
I was using DVI and did the following 1) Different DVI cable 2) Use VGA cable 3) Try a different monitor (to see if it was software) 4) Try the problem monitor (ASUS VW222U) on a different machine. ASUS took the monitor over Xmas and apparently fixed it. They replaced the panel. The economics confuses me. Surely it was cheaper from ASUS's point of view to just give me a new monitor at the start.
Problem went away for a number of months, although I was never really convinced it had gone away. Every now and again there would be a very quick blank out. But now it appears to be back. I have not been noting when the problem occurs but if I had to make a guess, it seems to be related to playing videos. Also, I have to log in remotely to a work site via a Citrix connection over the Internet. It has flickered badly in that as well. According to this post the Asus VW222U is better than MW221C.

(Corect me if i`m wrong). So, how is it that in my country (Israel) the MW221 costs 50$ more?! I think you'll find that people might be referring to the MW221U, not the MW221C Not a lot of difference between the VW222U and the MW221C (apart from price as you mentioned), however 2 things the 221C have going for it is 1/ It has an earphone jack. 2/ It is a slightly different panel that uses 'Color Shine' anti glare-type panel (like their current laptop screens) that is supposed to make the colours stand out more. Up to you to decide if its worth the extra $50, but for me (looking at mine now) its worth every penny. Best advice is to see them side by side if you can.
EDIT: Spelling. Thought that I would post an update.
I did some tests on the monitor as follows: 1) Different DVI cable, problem persists 2) Changed to VGA cable, blanking problem goes away, but at times the screen has a distinct reddish tone. Reverts to normal after a while, then goes reddish again. Tried a few VGA cables with same result. 3) Also changed power cables with no improvement. 4) When screen went blank (DVI cable) I pressed some of the monitor buttons to see if the settings came up.
I read somewhere that this was a good way to rule out the graphics card. If something displays when you press a monitor button, it points to the graphics card. Nothing did show up. 5) I tried my trusty old Samsung 19' LCD and it showed no problems.
Contacted ASUS. They took it back, but this time it went to Sydney, not Brisbane. Apparently, Sydney is the 'specialist' centre for LCD monitors. About a week or more later, I got a brand new monitor, still wrapped in factory plastic.
Happy ending. The monitor is now working fine.
No blanking on DVI cable. However, I just realized that I have not checked the VGA cable. I did not like the VGA anyway, it stretched the display. I just bought this monitor. By default, the screen's FAR too bright, causing cleartype fonts to cause strain on the eyes.
Also got this panel a few days ago and agree about the over-brightness in default mode. In addition, every fourth line of text in a document appeared blurred, as if smeared by inkjet printer (forget how I got rid of this:-) Changed brightness both using the OSD of the panel, and the Nvidia control panel.
Am still stuffing around with the settings because my wife - who can't see well with one of her eyes - gets eyestrain watching TV on the panel. BTW, if I use the VGA output of my Asus EN 85000GT card, image is very weak and fuzzy - when I switch to the DVI output, it improves out of sight!
I believe the letter U in the type designation must refer to universal, because Asus included power cables for every common international standard:-) They should have left out the unnecessary cables and instead provided a CD with drivers, diagnostics etc and should also have packed a manual, not just the lapidary Quickstart Guide. As it was, I had to go to their 'out of service' local website and find my way to a manual and monitor driver (I think under Global). On the whole, I am quite pleased with the 222U (bought for $299 incl. Courier, insurance and CC surcharge at Megaware), although its picture quality isn't on a par with my old 17in LG Flatron F700P that it replaces. I just bought this display and was attempting to run the nvidia optimization wizard but it keeps asking for me to go into the monitor's menu and find the auto sync feature. Does anyone know how to access this?
I'm running an nvidia 8400gs. I have already achieved pretty good settings with the monitor at 1680 X 1050, 50 brightness and 50 contrast, and using the following settings in nvidia's panel: brightness: 50 digital vibrance: 20 contrast: 50 gamma: 15 Will the optimization wizard help me at all or should i just leave as is if relatively satisfied? Hey guys, sorry if I missed this info already, I'm also looking at this monitor as a possible upgrade but it doesn't seem like many places would let you check for pixels before purchasing (MSY wouldn't when I asked), so I guess it's pretty much just your luck?! Does anyone know a good place to get this from that would let you check for pixels perhaps in Brisbane? MSY gives you 7 days to return it if there are any dead pixels.good enough, isn't it? They all come in sealed boxes, so I can understand if they don't want to open any for you. Just changed the graphics card for this monitor on a whim (it was only $35 express delivered, and had an ATI GPU).
But I realise now a lot depends on the card you run this LCD off. The Radeon HD 2400 Pro gives a wishy-washy output, and annoyingly leaves a stuck pixel group 4x4mm in the top left corner of the screen. I much preferred the Asus Nvidia Envision GT8500 Silent Magic, wich cost three times as much six months ago but is now ranked on a par with the ATI card, according to the vendor of the latter LOL. Would a GeForce 6200 be able to run this monitor ok with dvi Yes, but don't expect to be able to play games in native resolution (Asus VW222U native resolution = 1680x1050).
That said, you would be able to play any games just as well as you do now if you drive the Asus VW222U at the same resolution you're currently driving the video at. To check what your current resolution is, check your: Display Properties - Settings (tab) Of course, it would be annoying to have to switch resolutions every time you wanted to play games (NOTE: Most games allow you to set a lower resolution within the game's settings, depending on how old/direct-x compliant they are). Does anyone know if you can connect a Nintendo Wii to this monitor?? The monitor comes with 4 connections: 1 x DVI 1 x VGA 1 x 3.5 mm stereo audio-in and 1 x regular IEC power-in If the Wii can use the DVI or the VGA port, you can connect to it I guess. If you can, can you have both 360 and Wii connected at the same time?
Yes, there is a menu option that allows you to manually choose which input port you want to display, which suggests if you have two devices plugged into two ports, you can pick which one you want on screen. I found the 'normal' Colour Temp too reddish. Anyone else find this???
I found the colour temp to be dependent on your source of lighting in the room (actually, I'm pretty sure I read this years ago in one of my monitor's manuals). What we don't tend to realise is that our eyes/brain are constantly performing 'white balancing'. So, in a room with white walls and cool lighting (eg: cool white fluorescent lighting), our eyes will adjust to see the wall as white (and not slightly light blue). Red hues on a monitor are much more pronounced in this situation. If, in the same room, the sun is the main source of light, our eyes/brain recalibrate so that the white walls still look white (and not slightly red). In this lighting, you'll find that colour temp set to 'warm' would look more natural than 'cool' (unless, of course, you've seriously messed with the nVidia colour settings). If anyone is interested I've uploaded a calibrated colour profile for my VW222U I created in Spyder3express.
For it to display exactly as calibrated you will have to change your monitors settings to mine. My monitors reset to default, with the exceptions of brightness changed to 97 and Color Temp changed so sRGB.

I then calibrated it with Spyder. I'm not sure if it will work for other people but if your interested in trying it here is the colour profile To download find the tiny link in the bottom right that says 'Save file to your PC: click here' I will be interested to see if it works for other peoples monitors.
