I needed to replace my second screen and didn't want to spend a lot, but needed a monitor with 1920x1200 resolution. This seemed like a decent bet. It has exceeded my expectations with regard to performance. The clarity is excellent -- it rivals my primary screen which cost three times as much! The monitor is very lightweight. It comes with both DVI and VGA cables, which was unexpected. I like that there's no power transformer or wall wart. It has just a regular power cord. Set up is simple (just attached the base and no tools are needed). Of course, at this price point some features are not present. For example, while the screen can be tilted back and forth a bit, it does not have any up/down adjustment, nor can it be swiveled into portrait mode. There's no USB connectors and no speakers. But for me, none of those were deal breakers. I wanted a good quality monitor that was affordable, and this hit the mark 100%. Plus, it does not scrimp on connections. There's DVI, VGA and HDMI. I'm using DVI at present since the PC I'm using it with is a few years old. But, my next PC will probably have a HDMI connection, making this monitor future-proof (well, as future-proof as any tech product can be). If you're looking for a basic monitor that does not scrimp on image quality, this should definitely be on your short list. Also, check desertcart Warehouse for used ones. I got mine there (it was probably a customer's return). It looks brand new, and only ran me $127. Review: Excellent value, great monitor - I have bought several of these for myself and other people. Not a single complaint. The monitor is uniformly bright, very sharp. Colors look great. I have not had a single dead or stuck pixel on half a dozen of these. I look at text all day long and I have had other monitors that do a horrible job of plain white (lots of gray speckling due to the anti-reflective coatings). This monitor looks wonderful for heavy text editing - of course, it's great for pictures and such also but I make my living staring at text and many small things. If I could change a single thing about this monitor, it would be to add DisplayPort. It supports HDMI and DVI-D and that's fine, but DP would be awesome and would let me daisychain these. Still, I know Asus has a more expensive P-series monitor that adds DisplayPort, so for the money this is still a great value if you can work with HDMI or DVI-D. By the way, I mount my monitors on VESA monitor arms. This monitor's stand is very easy to remove, and it is very easy to mount on an arm (just remove the little rubber plugs in the screw holes on the back of the monitor). The monitor is really light so it's not only easy to mount, but easy for an arm to support and for you to move to different angles etc. I have had other monitors that are much heavier and that will suddenly droop/drop when the monitor arm is extended - not these. Lastly. I am sure if you're a photographer, artist, or have better color vision than me you probably will exceed this monitor's capabilities but for me and others I've bought them for who do word processing and other text-oriented work and general computer use, they have been perfect. ## Features - 18.5" 1366x768 LED display with 5ms response time ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005PAIVII | | Additional Features | Built-In Speakers | | Aspect Ratio | 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #369,708 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #7,454 in Computer Monitors | | Brand | ASUS | | Color | Black | | Connectivity Technology | VGA | | Contrast Ratio | 1000:1 | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,936 Reviews | | Display Resolution Maximum | 1366 x 768 Pixels | | Display Technology | LCD | | Display Type | LCD | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00610839379095 | | Hardware Connectivity | VGA | | Has Color Screen | Yes | | Image Contrast Ratio | 1000:1 | | Item Weight | 6 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Asus | | Model Name | ASUS COMPUTER INTL | | Model Number | VS197D-P | | Mounting Type | VESA Wall Mount Standard (100 x 100 mm ) | | Native Resolution | 1366x768 | | Picture Quality Enhancement Technology | LED | | Refresh Rate | 75 Hz | | Resolution | HD | | Response Time | 5 Milliseconds | | Screen Finish | Glossy | | Screen Size | 18.5 Inches | | Screen Surface Description | Glossy | | Specific Uses For Product | personal | | Total Number of HDMI Ports | 1 | | Total Usb Ports | 1 | | UPC | 610839379095 809199905529 803982784612 | | Viewing Angle | 178 Degrees | | Warranty Description | 3 | ## Product Details - **Aspect Ratio:** 1.78:1 - **Brand:** ASUS - **Resolution:** HD - **Screen Size:** 18.5 Inches - **Screen Surface Description:** Glossy ## Images ![ASUS VS197D-P 18.5" WXGA 1366x768 VGA Back-lit LED Monitor, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SuRynTzML.jpg) ![ASUS VS197D-P 18.5" WXGA 1366x768 VGA Back-lit LED Monitor, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QKg5gl1UL.jpg) ![ASUS VS197D-P 18.5" WXGA 1366x768 VGA Back-lit LED Monitor, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61H4+qnlbBL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: does it have an hdmi connectivity** A: per the discription:50,000,000:1 ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio dynamically enhances the display’s contrast to delivering lifelike images; Inputs of D Sub, DVI, HDMI **Q: does this monitor have DVI connectitvity?** A: There's only one VGA connector on the back and that's it. **Q: Does this Model has an HDMI connection?** A: http://www.pcworld.com/product/1410160/asus-vs24ah-p-widescreen-lcd-monitor.html **Q: what is the response time?** A: The response time is 6ms.

I decided that while I was upgrading the one rig, I'd build a pair of new ones for my wife and I, relegating my old rig to standard downloading/streaming tasks. One of the new parts to be considered was a monitor, as mine were dying a slow miserable death. Enter, the ASUS VS229H-P. I basically had a short list of requirements for this monitor: >20-25" >HDMI >VERSA compatible After reading through a metric ton of reviews I settled on this ASUS, and I've not been disappointed. In fact, I liked it so much that I ordered two more, and will likely order another one or two, making it the standard monitor for my house. The stand it comes with is decent, but I intended to mount it from the start (hence the need for VERSA compatibility). So I picked up one of these to mount it to ( VideoSecu TV Wall Mount Articulating Arm Monitor Bracket for most 12"-24", some up to 27" LCD LED Plasma Flat Panel Screen TV with VESA 100/75mm ML10B 1E9 ) paired with a 10' HDMI cable, and mounted it above my computer desk. The picture is beautiful, paired with my 980Ti it blows my old setup away. And for the price, you can't beat it. Picked all of mine up for around $110 a piece. Honestly, the only thing I would change if I could is the finish. It's that glossy black that is impossible to keep clean. I would have preferred a matte black finish. But honestly it's hair splitting at this point. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/3258212-asus-vs197d-p-18-5-wxga-1366x768-vga-back-lit](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/3258212-asus-vs197d-p-18-5-wxga-1366x768-vga-back-lit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
