I got the Asus VK266H to use as a second monitor, was impressed by the high Amazon user rating and price. I did not realize until turning it on and sitting in front of it that this cannot be used as a professional monitor-- the Vertical Viewing Angle on this monitor is horrendous. This means, when seated fairly close to the monitor (2 1/2 to 3 feet away), if the upper part of the monitor is at eye-level, and you look down at the bottom of the screen, everything at the bottom of the screen will be much, much brighter/paler than the same object (or icon, or color) at the top of the screen. For professional graphics or video work, this is unacceptable. You have to have consistency across the screen, (especially when doing color correction for video). This is a common issue with TN LCD screens such as this one. I became educated about TN screens (the hard way) after buying this one, and returning it. For any kind of professional graphics or video work, you need an IPS-type display, which is more costly, but has a much better viewing angle, so as you tilt your head to look at different parts of the screen, colors and brightness remains consistent across the entire screen. Because the Asus is fairly large (26in.) this only makes the problem more apparent, unless you sit six feet away from it.
This could be a fine monitor for home use and gaming, but for professional graphics/video work, steer clear and get an IPS - type LCD display. I needed a professional quality monitor, and had a feeling the price on this was too good to be true. It was.

I purchased this monitor about a month ago and have been extremely satisfied. Because I don't think it's posted in the specs area, I wanted to say that it has a matte finish. You may love or hate it (I, for one, love it), but it's something to keep in mind.

I've had this monitor for about 2 months now and from day 1 I've been nothing but impressed by it. It's HUGE but ever so sweet on the eyes. It's got loads of connection options, I primarily use the DVI connector, giving me the crispest of details I've ever laid eyes upon.
No dead pixels or anything else that would warrant a complaint.
It's plenty fast for gaming and the widescreen format is excellent for my use - programming computers etc.
Only slightly negative issue I've encountered, are the weak speakers, they are simply to small for something this big, but since I use external speakers with subwoofer etc., I really can't complain about it.
I can highly recommend it to anyone with a desk large enough to hold it.

I have just switched from an old 4:3 20 LCD to this monitor a few days ago. I have three issues so far. 1. The software CD packed with the monitor contained software ONLY for notebook PC's, I have no idea what they might have wanted to provide. 2. There was no software for the built-in web-cam. Windows 7 Professional found the camera and applied Microsoft drivers dated 2006. Since there are no microphones and I already have a web-cam, this is not a problem for me. Although the Asus web site claims to have a utility for the monitor and for Windows 7, the utility could not be downloaded. 3. The VESA mount is set to high. I mounted the monitor on a desk mount arm and found that, since the bracket mounts well above the center of gravity, the LCD keeps tilting down. I could not tighten the arm enough to prevent this. The only way I could solve the problem was to sit the monitor on something, defeating the purpose of having the monitor on a moveable arm.
On the plus side - this is a tremendous monitor, owing much to the 10:16 format instead of the normal 9:16. The 3 watt speakers are more than adequate. I do not do any gaming so I can't comment any further.

Awesome 26" monitor with a really nice image quality. No dead pixels, everything is really nice... including enough inputs to hook up anything you can think of (HDMI, VGA, DVI and more). I got the model with built in web cam, although haven't tried that yet.
One really great thing about this is the resolution is 1900 x 1200 which is an extra 120 pixels of screen height compared to the 1920 x 1080 1080p most monitors run. If you want to use this for spreadsheets, web design, photoshop etc, those extra pixels of screen height are worth their weight in gold... and this was so cheap it was amazing.
Another great amazon value.
