» ASUS 24" monitor for $169.99 shipped

Looking for a nice deal on a large monitor? Zipzoomfly is currently offering ASUS' VH242H for $169.99 (after $10 mail-in rebate) shipped. The VH242H is a 23.6" 16:9 TFT LCD with max res of 1920x1080 and 5ms (grey-to-grey) response time, 20000:1 contrast ratio, and 300 cd/m2 max brightness. The monitor weighs 5.8kg with DVI, VGA, HDMI video outputs, and also sports built-in speakers.

Downsides? No built-in USB ports. The monitor's base also lacks support for height, swivel, and pivot adjustment (you can tilt it between 25 degrees forward and backward though). Judging from the reviews online though, it offers good image quality for the price. PCMag.com gave it 4/5 stars. (Spotted on CNET)

It would probably go over poorly if I ordered this for myself on my wife's birthday... too bad because I'd really like a 1080p monitor.

MM damnit I bought my 24" gateway back when no one had 24" flat panels for $730 in Jan 2007. Now their dime a dozen. Have to break down and get a 30 inch to stay ahead of the Jones' I guess. Cant stand having something most everyone else has.

Well you'll always be hunting for a brain to keep up with the rest of us. Keep working at it and maybe you'll catch up to the Jones' on that one.

Damn thats a good deal! that should be like $200 Australian! i just got myself an Acer 23.6" monitor but i just upgraded my Q6600 and Geforce 8800GTS for a i7 920 and Radeon 4890 OC, so if this deal goes to Australia i might just upgrade the wifes monitor too (an old Benq 19")

I bought this monitor from NewEgg a while back and have to say it's very nice. I use it for gaming and video playback and have no complaints except that sometimes the power button can be finicky when turning it off/on.
