Now it should be uniform and so what were needed 6 new monitors once.
After a long search, I have decided for the model Asus VE228H.
Although I was skeptical because I never had a Asus Monitor could call my own, but I dared the 'experiment', as Asus, actually of her name, promises quality.
The decisive factors were for me, the extensive connectivity options, the price and of course, the optics should not be neglected in 6 pieces in composite.
The following connections are available:
DVI / HDMI / VGA / speakers / speakers / headphone out
The monitors were quickly, as always, provided by Amazon. Unwrapped, assembled and tested the massive foot. The Quick Start Guide is also equal to discussion how the monitor foot, can be removed completely by dismantling of two screws. I find this quite well, because I then also wanted to fix my wall mount. Vesa-mount 100 x 100 is also provided, so perfect for me.
Because in my computer 3 graphics cards Sapphire ATI Radeon HD5570 are installed, who also each DVI / HDMI / VGA ports, were 3 monitors with HDMI and 3 connected to DVI.
After I connected the monitors, these were immediately detected and installed. A quick manually selected on the monitor the input source is HDMI or DVI, corrects the arrangement of the monitors on Windows 7 and then it was perfect. Actually.
Now I had to find that the monitors that are connected via HDMI, not filled the whole picture, this then also were still blurred and finally even had a black border. That made me suspicious, because the monitors were connected with DVI, the whole picture filled what was sharp.
I had googled a bit and found out that the AMD graphics card driver is to blame. Under "My Digital Flat Panel -> scaling options" there is a controller with underscan - overscan. The slider to 0% overscan and asked the black frame was gone and the image was sharp. Why there is the function I do not know, but good to me now is also indifferent.
The monitors feature several preset mode, adjust the brightness: Standard mode / Theater / Gaming Mode / Night Mode / sRGB / landscape mode.
I have chosen the default mode for all. All monitors have the same color fidelity and brightness. For me this is the best setting. Of course you can change it manually too, like everyone wants.
My graphics card has the option of issuing over the HDMI cable, sound. This works quite well. But one should not imagine a miracle in sound quality, but for a few small sound effects, it is sufficient. I do not use the speakers but since I have an external sound system.
That's not quite right. I use with a monitor but the speakers. Because I have ventured an experiment after a short time. I have a cheap HD Sat - Receiver risen with an HDMI output and those connected via HDMI to one of the monitors, which is connected to DVI with the PC.
Thus, it is possible for me to manually select the HDMI input source on the monitor, I can now HD TV and the built-in speaker the sound comes.
If I want to use the monitor for the PC, then I just turn around to DVI. That's really great! So I can use the monitor as a TV having to hang in between without a switch.
The volume can also be adjusted manually on the monitor. I make the volume control but on the receiver's remote control.
By the amount of connection options, the beautiful piano lacquer finish, the price, which is really a monitor that is recommendable without any reservation.
The value for money is really great.
Oh yes. Pixel errors can not be detected in all 6 monitors. It should be so.
A carefree package which is rarely found.
Buy.
