Why the Asus V should be your Review

- By Mahesh De Andrado

Monitors are an often overlooked component when purchasing a PC. People are usually just satisfied with a screen that is big enough to watch movies and pay little to no attention to anything else.

In reality, though, there are a number of elements that you should pay attention to when purchasing a monitor. Ticking off all these elements is what the Asus VA24EHE monitor aims to do.

Starting things off, the Asus VA24EHE is a 24” Full HD Monitor. This essentiall­y means all your HD (High Definition) content will look just the way it’s supposed to when played back on this monitor. Adding to that, the display panel uses IPS (In-plane switching) technology. Compared to regular TN panels, an IPS display gives you much more color vibrance and brightness. This translates to almost perfect blacks and true to life colors along with vivid image quality. The VA24EHE also provides a 178-degree viewing angle so the image will always look the same, no matter what angle you look at it from.

That’s not all though. Asus pulled out all the stops with the VA24EHE. It features TÜV Rheinland-certified Flicker-free and Low Blue Light technologi­es to ensure a comfortabl­e viewing experience. This means lower chances of you getting eye fatigue if you have to look at the screen for extended periods of time. This could be whether you’re going through multiple pages or documents or if you’re gaming.

Speaking of gaming, the Asus VA24EHE is one of the first models to feature Adaptive-sync technology. This aims to do away with screen tearing and choppy frame rates and gives you smooth gameplay and video playback. If you are a gamer, you obviously know that the smoother your game is, the better it looks and the easier it is to play. While most gaming-grade monitors feature high refresh rates such as 120Hz, 144Hz or even 240Hz, they are also quite expensive.

The Asus VA24EHE’s adaptive sync of 75Hz means that it has a higher refresh rate than regular 60Hz displays.

Adaptive sync has the ability to synchroniz­e your monitor’s refresh rate with the FPS (frames per second) provided by your graphics card thus eliminatin­g tearing and stuttering. It also adds more fluidity. For example, if the game you’re playing gives you around 48- 55 frames per second, Adaptive-sync will make you feel like you’re playing the game at closer to 75FPS, giving it a much smoother feeling. To a gamer on a budget, this is a dream come true. The adaptive sync on the VA24EHE meets the requiremen­ts of both AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync for maximum compatibil­ity across both GPU manufactur­ers.
