Today we bring you one of our reviews, we get the ASUS VX239W monitor, a fantastic alternative as a main or secondary monitor, with a series of features that will make us opt for your purchase more than likely. Not only does it have a neat and polished design, with almost no frames, but it also has a series of functions and hardware features that make it one of the best monitors in value for money that we can currently find on the market. We present the ASUS VX239W, go to the review with us to know all the data of this monitor.

We are going to take a good look at all the most relevant aspects of the ASUS VX239W, both from a purely technical point of view and from a user point of view.

Technical Specifications

In short, we are facing a 23-inch monitor, with an IPS technology panel that allows us to view the content of the screen from almost any angle. On the other hand, its two HDMI connections have MHL technology, that is, any device that we connect will intelligently adapt to the recommended size and position to reproduce productively. We also find:

• Full HD AH-IPS display with 178 ° viewing angle
• Two HDMI / MHL ports for connecting multiple devices
• With an ultra-thin profile and a very stable and resistant disc-shaped base
• Excellent connectivity with stereo speakers
• Color accuracy and improved energy efficiency
• ASUS VividPixel technology for higher image quality
• Splendid Video Intelligence Technology: powerful coloring engine
• 5ms delay that drops to 3ms in "game mode"

As we have already said, they are 23 inches, at 1920 x 1080 resolution. The weight is only 3,8 KG, that is, the current transformer is incorporated in the cable, not in the device. The actual size is 53,3 x 21 x 3,9 centimeters. The monitor is extremely thin on the back, much of the fault lies with the detail of the transformer that we have indicated above.

Connections and accessories

We find a monitor that stands out precisely for having two HDMI connection ports with MHL technology, But are not the only ones. We will also find a 3,5mm Jack connection for our sound equipment, that is, the audio received through HDMI will be transformed to be sent through that port. Otherwise, in the event that we do not have any sound equipment connected there, the sound will be transmitted through the two small stereo speakers that the monitor has. These speakers they do not offer splendid sound quality, we can say that they meet a basic use, they do not exceed the power of most ASUS laptops.

• ASUS VividPIxel Technology, to reduce noise in images and improve sharpness
• Splendid Video Intelligence, with a coloring engine that determines the nature of each task, adapting the color to our needs and optimizing the realism of the image
• QuickFit Virtual Scale, allows us to take advantage of the edition of imagine, being able to view it in real size and enjoying a grid on the screen.

Besides, and for the most nostalgic, in its back it also has a classic VGA connection, although having two HDMI connectors, of course this port will probably be in disuse. In addition, this VGA cable together with a 3,5mm male-male jack, is what we will find in the box when we open it.

Technical aspects and editor's opinion

It has different ways to customize the image, from RGB mode to "Game Mode", through "Cinema Mode", that is, you can adapt the monitor to your needs at any time. On the other hand, it is quite efficient as a double screen, as well as a main screen for a PlayStation 4, we did not find any delay in the image. The connection between devices is automatic, that is, the monitor will start automatically when we turn on any of the two devices plugged into it via HDMI. The button panel is hidden at the bottom as a touch screen.
