Aspect ratio adjustments are greyed out unless the monitor detects a lesser resolution than its entertainment-friendly Full HD (1,920 x 1,080), doubtless a blessing to prospects who will be confused with this sort of thing. If the resolution is lower but widescreen, the Asus will either display it 1:1 or aim to scale it without aspect distortion, while a non-widescreen resolution will result in being offered the selection between Full (resulting in a very horrible stretched image) or 4:3. Most significantly, how does the VW246H's image quality manage? Of course with TN-based displays, you will discover pros and cons. Over the plus side, horizontal viewing angles aren't the worst and backlight bleed is virtually nonexistent. After twiddling with saturation settings, colours are relatively vibrant without having to be oversaturated.
Unfortunately, noticeable banding and a slight shortage of sharpness (regardless of this setting at 100 %) complement average greyscale performance and slight dithering to take a few of the sheen off the VW246H's performance. To be honest it's not worse than many TNs and for most needs the image quality would be deemed sufficient, yet it fails to surprise on any level.
The exact opposite can be said of the 2W built-in speakers, which are far better than we'd normally expect, delivering relatively rich audio at respected volume levels without obvious distortion. What's more, they even managed a hint of bass, all while keeping a rare level of depth and clarity. The reality is, we'd go as far as to say it's the best audio performance from a budget monitor yet, though this isn't to say it could replace even half decent headphones or discrete speakers.
Value is the one other strong point with this display. Although average price for it is above the 210 mark, bringing it in accordance with most monitors sporting this type of size and connectivity, it is usually found for less than 190 online.
Verdict
For a TN-based model image level of quality is above par, however the Asus VW246H comes with a surprisingly good audio performance at an attractive price and has most of the input and output options you'll need. Should you be with limited funds you can do far worse.
