Talked to Asus, and they said it is the correct monitor... Was hoping it wasn't cause I am not pleased with the quality of image. I have browsed many forums and read a lot of great sounding reviews, but I think I will be trying to return/replace this monitor quickly. In game it looks terrible...

Hmm I found in the OSD an "information" section, the monitor itself says vs238h. yet on the amazon order it says vs238h-p as well as I was looking on the asus website just now and they have both a vs238h and a vs238h-p.

cpu: Amd phenom II x4 945 ram: 16gb ddr3 1600 9-9-9-24 ssd running OS and games, hdd for all documents etc.

Hmm. I just tested in WoW as well and I don't see any improvements. On ultra settings in WoW with the 560 flying around outside of the pandarian cities I would get about 30 fps. I'm getting 25-30 as well with the 760. No difference...

Hi, I just upgraded from a gtx560 2gb gdrr5 superclock to a gtx 760 and I am not noticing ANY difference in frame rates. I havn't had tons of time to test but in diablo 3 with vsync sitting at 60 fps with the gtx560, in combat I would usually drop to about 20-30 fps. Just a quick test with the...

I ordered an Asus vs238h-p from amazon and upon setting up the monitor I noticed that my computer display settings read "vs238". I am wondering if maybe I got the wrong monitor? The box also only says vs238 and does not have the "h-p" on the end of the model... Looking into the manual that came...

I was able to get the Asus vs248h-p monitor and a gtx 760 2gb zotac amp! card. Used, but off amazon and can return if need be. If they are in as good of condition as they said they were, they will be decent upgrades. So i'll be happy with them :) Thanks for suggestions.

is the r9 270 a large enough increase to throw $150 at it? or could I get a much better increase with a few more bucks?

Hi, I am looking to upgrade from a gtx 560 superclock 2gb evga card and am stumped with all the millions of options on cards. I'm also in the market for a new monitor since mine went black on me a few weeks ago and it's dead. I have a $300 usd to throw at this. I've been recommended the r9...

Ah, makes sense. So how do I know how to watch out for dual gpu? do nvidia/amd always mark them as "x 2"?

Ah, is there a better website to look at benchmarks or? No I made sure it was the " x 2" Also, I just turned off vsync (didn't know it capped fps) and i shot up to about 115fps in diablo and about 80 or so in WoW, but only a little 5 minute test in diablo 3, and then a quick run around the...

so is videocardbenchmark.net a bad website to get a general idea about video cards? cause looking at that place my card should run circles around him... edit: if so, then what is a good website to find accurate benchmarkings?

Was talking to my buddy about video cards while we were playing diablo III. I got to looking at differences in cards and looking at passmark ratings on videocardbenchmark.net and his card is rated at 1232 ranked 149 while mine is rated in at 3097 ranked 54... I get 60 fps on average, with...

Ah, how do I know if I'm going to be getting 2.0 HDMI? I was reading most won't come out with it until later this year I believe? Also, does this mean that DisplayPort is still better than HDMI or are they pretty much equivalent now? Again I won't be using the audio, just need video, and I was...

Oh thank you for the clarification on HDMI. Will this monitor (edit: lol ment monitor, not video card >< my bad...) do the "Black eQ" type stuff that I keep reading about with a games fog of war, where you can kind of see into shadows? But because it's IPS it will be an even better image...
