It's really a nice tiny monitor!

I needed to have a portable monitor for my Gigabyte Brix computer, to take it to work; to install updates.
The good news, is that it's possible.

The bad news is I have to adjust to the limitations of the device.

The good:
It can run on Windows 7.
It is portable.
The speaker is much louder than many PC or cellphone speakers, it is very loud for a speaker!!!
Plugs into HDMI, AV, or VGA
Recognizes a variety of screen resolutions.

The bad:
The 800x480 resolution is too small for Windows 7.
It only has 1 speaker.
It doesn't run off of USB.
The backlight can't be lowered, and is very bright for a darker room.
The viewing angles are very limited. Outside the viewing angle, the display discolors.
No touch screen.
Doesn't autoshut down when signal lost, or PC turned off.

Windows 7 workaround:
The Brix PC I own, has a corei7 4400 processor with built in Intel HD graphics.
Though it is possible to select resolutions of up to 1280x720 pixels, the Intel driver allows screen resizing at 1280x720p.
I set 1280x720 as my screen resolution, and resized height by 66% and width by 61%, and increased my windows display appearance to medium (125%) to easily be able to read the letters.
I also had to change Windows Theme, to make white background grey-ish, to have less of a super bright flashlight shining in my face!

The monitor has a firmware defect, in that it has an option to view the screen cool, normal or warm. The setting is in reverse. Setting it to cool will make the screen more mellow (adds red); set it to warm makes it cooler (adds blue).

I believe it auto-starts with the pc. It doesn't go into sleep mode though, every time you turn off the pc, also turn off the monitor.

Other than that, it's a great device!

I love this little monitor. Super sharp picture. It's not the brightest but it sure is sharp, thing and very light. I run it off the d-tap off my RED and it's a dream to use. The RED Touch monitor is brighter but those two extra inches make a world of a difference.

Ok, so now I'm over the size of the screen (yes, I did know it was a 10") and have up'd my reading glasses from a +1.25 to a +1.50 I like this little guy.  The keyboard is small and it's a learning curve using it when you're used to pounding away on a full size keyboard all day.  Note to the ladies: can't use this keyboard with fingernails!

My irk - the irk that lessened this review by a whole star - is the placement the micro USB and the micro HDMI ports.  Which rocket surgeon thought that putting them 2mm apart was a stellar idea!!  Did anyone actually TEST it with adapters??  If you need to power the tablet while using the HDMI port for, say, a monitor (so I don't actually go blind), you will need an HDMI adapter CABLE (read: expensive), not just the adapter (read: cheaper).  The adapter doesn't fit when the power cable is plugged in.

Since it only has 1 (full-size) USB port I bought a bluetooth mouse that works like a charm.  The screen is crystal clear and the sound from the speakers is not bad.  It's a shame they don't yet make the 64GB SSD with the 500GB HD in the keyboard.  That would be absolutely optimal for me.

Dont know much about computer monitors but I really am happy with this monitor. I like the thin bezel look. Only thing I didn't like is the buttons for menu options, I think there should be an easier way maybe with a scroll button or something. But I am overall happy with the purchase.

My old monitor died on me last night, so I had no choice but to buy it in town.  I found this one, and knew the moment I saw it, that it would be the one.  I was surprised at how light it is for the size.  It was very easy to set up, including installing the software.  Personally, I feel that they should have included an HDMI cable, though I already have a few.  No big deal, really, since many people still don't have HDMI outputs.

I found it unnecessary to adjust anything at all.  It is bright, so I may decide to change that at some point, but it isn't bothering me, so no hurry.  No dead pixels.  I haven't watched a Blu-Ray disc on it yet, so I'll update this review once I've done so.  Let's see...World of Warcraft looks fantastic on it.  DVDs' limitations become rather clear, but that's understandable.  For the purpose of the review, I edited a few photos, including some that I'd already worked on.  Using this monitor is going to improve the quality of my art!  The speakers do work, but I have a quality stereo hooked up, so I'll probably never use them.

We got this monitor thinking it would be a good second monitor for my son's set up, but we liked it so much that it became his primary.

Here are some of the highlights from the DellSE2146HX:
Images on screen are crisp and colorful
The menu system is well designed, with a ton of options, modes and even color filters
Really good wire management with a ring in the base
The base is really sturdy and has a relatively small footprint
Very easy assembly, 2 piece which snap together
Really good sleep mode and auto off when nothing is plugged in

The one downside of the monitor is that it takes only VGA and HDMI. There is NO DVI input on the monitor.

All In All an excellent monitor that delivers a lot for the money.

I like this small piece. I've used it for about a year and combine it with a Dell 23" touchsreen monitor. The results are really good. No problem running windows 8.1 as some other computers do. Windows 8.1 more stable in this computer.

This is a nice little monitor that is pretty much a carbon copy of a 7" Marshall I had used before.  It works as well as the Marshall, as solid as the Marshall(which can be good or bad).  The screen is nice and the picture is sharp and clear.  Everything feels solid. The noga arm is not the greatest I've ever used, didn't seem to tighten as much as I like.  That's not to say it doesn't tighten at all, just you can knock it loose fairly easily.  One other small issue is the monitor shade, have to be careful when opening, have to remember to sorta push up, because if you just pull it open, as it may seem natural to do, you'll break the pins holding the top flap off, as happened to me by someone else. I called the company and fortunately  they had a replacement out that day and got it back in 2.  Very quick, helpful, prompt service.

Overall a great monitor and additional items for the price and would recommend this to anyone.

This monitor is great. So slim it travels easily, slipped into the same padded sleeve in and the usb power means I can just plug it right into my laptop for power. I hate editing on one tiny laptop monitor, so this monitor is great to give me a second screen. I've used it for video editing on the go, a multiview monitor in a live mixing fly case, and more. It seemed expensive when I got it, but after just a few uses, I had no regrets. I would recommend it to anyone who works on the go.

I use this monitor at my office when I dock my laptop. It has a nice, crisp output and the size is perfect for my desk. I mainly use it for office applications, and it does a good job in that role. The Display Port connection is nice as it will work with my Surface Dock without the need for an adapter, just a mini-DP to DP cable.

I don't find the curve distracting for my work, but can see how some may when it comes to things like Excel spreadsheets.

This is a great quality little monitor.  I was worried whether it would be big enough at 17 inches, but it's actually the perfect size.  ViewSonic makes great stuff - my other home monitor is a 17-inch CRT that's about 8 years old, and the picture is like brand-new. I use ViewSonic 19-inch and 15-inch LCDs for editing in my studio, and they are superb.  So I trust the ViewSonic name. I needed a new monitor to fit into a small space downstairs, and this was perfect.  Detail is good, color is good, though I expected a little more contrast.  That seems to be getting better as it gets more use.  I'm really happy with the purchase.  A freind of mine got an off-brand for a little less money, but the picture and clarity aren't nearly as good.  I say go for the quality, as this will be something you live with for years.

Bottom line:  Nice sharp, bright wide-screen LCD with a wide viewing angle, and a pretty good size for about $250 out of pocket.

Background:
Had a nice 17" aperture grill CRT monitor die on one PC, so I decided to upgrade to a widescreen LCD for my Mac Mini (2010).

Wanted to use DisplayPort so that narrowed down the choices. I've worked around a lot of video/graphics so I'm pretty picky about screen quality/geometry issues. This IPS LED LCD monitor was competitively priced, and the reviews were pretty favorable, so I decided to try it. My last LCD monitor was a Samsung SyncMaster MP170 (17" 1024x768) w/ 2 Video inputs & TV tuner (obsolete), but isn't needed to be the Mac's new display.

Bought an Accell B143B-003J UltraAV Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort 1.2 Cable to go with it at the same time from Amazon. Didn't want to spend time troubleshooting a possible junk bargain basement variety cable found all over the net, and $15 wasn't that much more expensive than the over-priced ones at the local brick & mortar outlets that you have no idea what the quality really is.

The results- Nice sharp display, plenty bright. The Mac w/ Snow Leopard recognized it automatically, and just came up correctly configured. How easy is that? Love the 1920x1080 16:9 wide screen format.

Some minor calibration via the Mac's display setting adjustment tool, and I'm good to go.

Next, Dual-booted the Mini into XP, installed drivers and configured the display. Works just fine.

Plus side:

1. Sharp, bright, and even works fine w/ Dual booting XP once the drivers installed and resolution adjusted for the correct display model on the Mac Mini.
2. Not a heavy gamer but it looks great using RealFlight 5.5 R/C simulator in XP. No noticeable lag that I can see.
3. USB ports (2+2) in case I need some extras.
4. VGA/DVI ports, allows connections to legacy PC's in a pinch.
5. Stand has plenty of adjustability.
6. Can do dual displays on the Mac Mini with the right cables.

Down sides:

1. No HDMI port. OK, I don't have any HDMI devices yet, so not a show stopper. Besides, I can use the Mac's DVD drive to watch a wide-screen formatted "movie for one" if I want to.
2. No included DisplayPort cable.
3. 6-bit DAC's. But you're not spending $300+, or 2-3x the price for high-end displays.

Other considerations:

No speakers. OK, who really needs built-in speakers unless you're really space constrained? It takes a pretty bad set of external speakers to be worse than almost any built-in speakers supplied in a display. And you can always strap on the Dell sound bar if your desk is that tight.

One annoyance is that the Mac Mini (Snow Leopard) will not wake the display when coming out of sleep mode sometimes. Does it on both a direct DP connection to this LCD, and the Mini-DP to VGA adapter/Viewsonic E771 I was using before. Probably just a weird Mac issue. Can't be bothered to figure out what crazy incantation will fix this, so I just disabled sleep on the Mac.

I was impressed enough that I shortly bought a second one to upgrade my workstation that has a GForce 3 video card that had no problems making the 1920x1080 display mode using the DVI port.

Don't expect heavy duty gaming experience or professional photoshopping on this value priced LCD, but the lag is pretty good for not being a gaming specific display.

Sure, you can add ports/features/specifications/options, but that usually adds to the price. I could have found an LCD in the $125 range, or spent $700+, but this LCD has great value for the money. :)

I am very pleased with this monitor. Looks very nice on my desk, the resolution is good and the price was right. Like they said, the sound from the speakers is just so-so, but enough to listen videos from youtube, etc. In summary, I would recommend to anyone thinking on a 22" monitor.

It is simply lovely thing in the small package

I received this monitor as a present and am thoroughly happy with it. Its colors are bright and vibrant, its size is perfect for my setup, and the controls take only a minute to master. Everything that it is supposed to do it does well (1920x1080, no ghosting, fairly good blacks), and I had no issues with dead pixels or any DOA parts. The stand does seem to slide every once in a while (I just don't understand why Asus couldn't have put rubber feet on it), and that is the main reason I didn't give it five stars, but it generally works fine and that's really nitpicking. So, overall I am very happy with this monitor, and would definitely recommend it. And, I mean, come on, look at it. It's beautiful!

Nice little TV for the money. I've found no evidence that it is actually 720p as reported by another viewer. It reports its resolution on the HDMI port at 1080p and has a great picture. On a screen this small, I'm not sure you could really tell the difference anyway. The single joy stick like control is a bit awkward, but you can just use the remote.

The monitor works well, but it is at the high end in size for the resolution.  I wouldn't recommend getting a monitor larger than 27-inches for 1080p, as the near end of the normal viewing for a monitor makes the pixels visible. The unit is very light and easily carried with a single hand.  While some reviewers indicated the stand had issues, ours was perfect, as was the monitor alignment.  In fact, it seems impossible for the monitor to be crooked if the stand is properly attached, so there may have been a manufacturing change.  We like it.
