About this product
This open-box ASUS VP228HE is a 21.5-inch widescreen LED gaming monitor with a 75 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time. It features a 1920x1080 resolution, 200 cd/m² brightness, and an incredibly high 100,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Inputs include VGA and HDMI. The monitor is flat and black.
Our take
Getting this monitor open-box saved some money, but the specs are a mixed bag. The 75 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time are good for gaming. However, the 200 cd/m² brightness is low, making it hard to see in bright rooms. The advertised 100,000,000:1 contrast ratio is likely dynamic, so real-world contrast is average. The TN panel has limited viewing angles. If you can tolerate a dimmer screen, it's usable, but I'd prefer a brighter model.
