To deliver a more comfortable viewing experience, ASUS Eyecare monitors adopts Flicker-Free Technology to clear out the distracted flicker shown on the screen and help reduce eye fatigue for long-period watching.
ASUS includes its exclusive QuickFit Virtual Scale feature with the VX239H, allowing you to preview photos and documents on-screen in their actual size prior to printing. It can be activated via a monitor hotkey, and serves as a highly useful guide to accurately view and edit photos in their native size.
IPS panels are already taking away the stage from their TN panel counterparts mainly due to their rising advantages over the latter. They have a significantly better viewing angle, richer color reproduction, and are already catching up on response time performance as time goes by. Clearly, IPS is firmly becoming the norm when it comes to display devices.
IPS panels, though have tons of advantages, are significantly pricier compared to TN panels that is true, but it wont stop ASUS in their tracks to offer something quite surprising considering that they usually charge an extra when it comes to almost everything. The display that I am talking about is the ASUS VX239H. An inexpensive 23 Incher, “frameless” IPS panel based monitor coming from the guys at ASUS. Inexpensive is indeed the word for this panel, as it retails for only 7, 999 Pesos. Moreover, it is an AH-IPS and is specifically designed by LG.
The ASUS VX239H came in a tall yet slim eco- friendly packaging with a carrying handle. It’s easy to transport and it kept the display protected from bumps and bruises. Trust me I accidentally bumped this almost everywhere while lugging it back to home.
Out of the box, the ASUS VX239H sure looks classy in Black. The VX239H’s design actually reminds me of its pricier predecessor, the MX239H with a frame that is just 0.8mm thin; exposing most of the display’s panel which is not really border-less. Speaking, the panel itself features a matte finish which should be great if there are multiple light sources behind you, eliminating reflections, and ultimately, distractions.
As opposed to the matte finish of the front, the back of the display features a glossy piano Black appearance along with the ASUS logo. There are no VESA mounting holes here so mounting this on a VESA platform is a no-no.
The ASUS VX239H is really thin at 14.5mm sideways, but I have seen thinner displays such as my LG E2290. Doesn’t really matter actually, since I prefer the panel’s performance over beauty. – By a small margin
The I/O ports are located at the back of the panel, along with a Kensington Lock and perforations for the onboard speakers below. The ports consists of 2x HDMI/MHL, a VGA port, 2x Audio Ports, and a port for the power adapter. Overall, connectivity is looking good.
With an elegant design, something must be given up, and that is the panel’s limited amount of ergonomic adjustments. You can adjust the display’s viewing angle horizontally, and vertically, but you cannot rotate the panel itself, nor tilt it sideways.
Overall, the design and build quality is what I have expected from ASUS. It is solidly built, and is oozing with design goodness. I can see that this display wont have any problem blending in well to your desk.
The display’s menu has five default settings and it looks like it’s not that hard to use or navigate (or is it?). First thing that will greet you here is the Splendid sub menu that should help you set the display’s settings with minimal user intervention through presets. We find the Standard and sRGB mode suitable for our taste. Next up is the Color menu where you should be able to adjust the display’s brightness, contrast, saturation, color temperature, and even the skin tone adjustments. The Image menu is where ASUS’s VividPixel and ASCR (Dynamic Contrast Ratio) are found. Some of the settings here will be greyed out depending on the Splendid Profile that you have set. Lastly, we’ve got the Input mode and System Setup settings.
Though the software offers some goodies, navigating through the VX239H’s menu is more of a pain in the arse rather than an easy task. Sensor based inputs for displays wont really cut it I must say since it doesn’t feel substantial to use. The labels wont help much either, since it’s hard to read even with a good ambient lighting. The lack of substantial feel to the input just infuriates me. – Thing’s too sensitive too. Arrrggg!
IPS panels do offer huge advantages over the standard TN panels and that is evident with the ASUS VX239H. Color reproduction with this display is great, and viewing angles are outstanding; meaning that almost everywhere you look at it, there will be no visible contrast shifting on the panel’s wide area.
Testing out the VX239H with PassMark’s Monitor Test should provide us more insight about this display’s performance. We ran some sample tests and we found out that the grey-scale performance of the display is somewhat compressed. Meaning that there is little difference between the darkest of the Grays and all out Black. RGB test shows that the Green is a bit over-saturated which is thankfully, could be easily remedied by almost any software display calibration tool or via a display driver’s control panel.
Gaming with this monitor is fluid enough with zero noticeable blurring and or ghosting. I am surprised at first but since this is an AH-IPS based panel, response time has been considerably improved compared to the first generation of IPS panels. However, as we continue our tests, we noticed quite a small amount of back-light bleeding around the lower left area of the panel. It is not a game, nor a movie corrupting experience though which is alright. Speaking of cons, the onboard speaker of the VX239H sounded like it’s just an after thought. The audio performance is rather lacking and could use a little bit more punch in the lower end of the spectrum. However, we are not going to complain much about the speaker’s performance since for the price, it is a welcome addition. Power consumption wise, the VX239H consumes a maximum of 22W at full load, and almost nothing at standby mode.
The VX239H is a sleek, AH-IPS based display panel from ASUS that showed great performance across the border. We fancy its design and build quality, along with its panel’s performance that offering great color reproduction, good response time, and wide viewing angles. For an AH-IPS based 23″ display, this is already a solid deal.
Like any other products out there, the ASUS VX239H also has its own downsides. Back-light bleeding is unfortunately present, but good thing that it is minimal. Speaker/audio performance could be better but as I have said earlier, it’s already a welcome addition for the price. Now what I really hate about this display is the menu navigation, specifically the touch sensitive buttons and its layout. Sometimes I just want to poke the damn sensors but alas, my patience still got the better of me.
Price wise, with an SRP of 9, 990 Pesos, the VX239H really surprised me. ASUS set an example with the VX239H that performance and quality could still be achieved without digging deeply into the pocket. I highly recommend this one to those who are still bound under the spell of TN panels. Great visual investment for the price, indeed.

The striking white finish of the Asus VX239H-W may appeal to many, especially if you’d like to use it in a kitchen or against a white wall. Its slim casing is solidly constructed and offers unique touch-sensitive controls. Image quality is among the best on offer, but the price is rather high for its performance.
The bright white casing of the Asus VX239H-W – which is also available in black – lets this display from Asus stand out from the crowd. Combined with its frameless design and ultra-thin bezel this is sure to brighten up any desktop, offering a lifestyle-oriented design which is huge visible improvement over the dark, chunky pieces of IT equipment to which you may be more familiar.
The use of an external power supply here helps keep the display panel as slim as possible from top to bottom, despite the inclusion of a pair of stereo speakers which can be driven via the HDMI inputs or the analogue PC audio connector. A headphone jack is also provided for personal listening.
The Asus VX239H-W performed well in our tests, with decent contrast and solid colour reproduction, but wasn’t quite up to the standard of the AOC i2369Vm which delivered better overall uniformity and more accurate tone response.
The main drawback of the VX239H-W has to be the price. It looks good and performs well, but you can get equal or better performance while spending significantly less than the £170 that it currently costs.

ASUS are no strangers to the monitor market. We"ve seen models from them that bow at the altar of design as well as ones that have tremendous colour accuracy. Today it"s the turn of a monitor which seeks to combine all those elements into a single affordable package. Packing a 5ms AH-IPS panel within its frameless design, the VX239H could be the holy grail of colour reproduction and gaming fidelity.
The simplicity of the VX is what really grabs your attention. White plastics can often look a little cheaper than their black brethren, but the ASUS offering has a certain air of class to it. That is helped dramatically by the extremely thin bezel which maximises the screen without swamping you with white.
A glance at the specifications, 23" 1080P monitor with a couple of speakers and no VESA support, you could be forgiven for thinking it"s yet another of the hundreds of similar monitors around. The reality is that the AH-IPS panel blows any TN one out of the water with such ferocity that you can"t imagine the difference if you haven"t either A/B"d them or seen it in the flesh.
One of the many benefits an AH-IPS panel has over the common TN type, that there is so much room to adjust to your preference without destroying your colour saturation. Sure the claimed contrast ratio is always to be thought of with the same disbelief as a Conservative Party manifesto, but there is so much extra wiggle room from IPS than there is from a TN panel that they"re not remotely comparable. Much of that is thanks to the crispness and outstanding colour reproduction from the AH-IPS. This is a joy to look at. Even the old (5 years ago) achilles heel of IPS panels is consigned to history. 5ms might not be headline grabbing, but it"s accurate and we experienced no ghosting during testing.
Stands are one area where we never want to scrimp and if there is a black mark against the VX239H it"s that it is neither VESA compatible, nor does the stand have any height adjustment. For those of you who have their monitor height accounted for or don"t spend significant time in front of their computer it"s less of an issue.
Otherwise there is nothing to detract from the excellence of the VX239H. It"s in the resolution sweet spot, looks very modern, the sound from the speakers is surprisingly good but the absolute star is that panel. If you"ve never experienced an IPS panel you can"t imagine how blurry and dull your TN monitor is, and if you have you can"t believe the eye-opening low £149 price tag. Fantastic.
