ASUS VG236H 23-inch 3D Display Review: 120Hz is the Future
by Brian Klug on August 7, 2010 2:48 AM ESTBrightness Uniformity
For brightness uniformity, we test at the same 9 points we measure Delta-E on, but this time measure white and black levels when the center point is as close to 200 nits as we can get. We use the same colorimeter as before, again an Xrite i1D2 with ColorEyes Display Pro.
Brightness Uniformity - White
Brightness Uniformity - Black
Qualitatively, I never noticed a big change in brightness from right to left like these measurements imply. I was a bit surprised and measured three times, getting similar results. There’s a good 15-20 nits of difference at 200 nits from the right to left. It’s not killer, and honestly for a gaming centric monitor hardly an issue.
There was a bit of light leakage at the bottom and top of the display, however.
Light leakage - along the bottom right corner
It’s noticeable when displaying a uniform black field, and most apparent at the very bottom right, as shown here. In normal use however I couldn’t tell it was there. Even playing Metro 2033 in the dark.

True, but the fact of life is that more monitors support HDMI compared to DisplayPort.Also, most upcoming GPUs claim HDMI 1.4a support, but DisplayPort 1.2 is not seen (that is necessary for 3D).
All 3D TVs use HDMI 1.4. So, if there is one interface to do the job for both TV and monitor, I will gladly take it :)

Most Importantly, why component instead of vga/another hdmi input? mehmbtgood - Tuesday, August 24, 2010 - link

As much as that monitor is going to cost, it's just not worth it when they skimp on the connections.I'm not going to buy another monitor without Displayport.

Me too. DisplayPort is needed if we want 120hz in anything higher than 1920x1200. Dual-link dvi maxes out at 1310p @ 120hz I think. 2560x1600x120x24 = 11.8Gbps and displayport can do 17.28Gbps. Fonts look real nice in 135dpi.medi01 - Saturday, August 7, 2010 - link

Check the price ... not everybody who need a screen for work is a DTP/CAD/media professional.softdrinkviking - Saturday, October 23, 2010 - link
true. it's pricey, but they look fantastic and it won't need replacing for a good, long time.when you want an older tech that has become a specialty item, you have to expect it to be more expensive, that's life.

Yeah, tell me about it.Needed 1600x1200 (even 1600x1600 would be welcome) had to go for 1920 and got luxky a reasonable 1920x1080 are still made ...
Most is just 16:9 useless junk.
