Thread: Asus vk266h

If you thought your 22-inch LCD monitor was enough, think again, owning a 26-inch LCD for your PC is something to brag about and that's Just what the VK266H from ASUS is all about.

The ASUS VK266H has good looks, the panel around the screen is glossy black, except for the silver line at the bottom that holds the buttons of this display towards the right. This display holds a whole bunch of connectivity options- VGA port, DVI port and even an HDMI out. This display also comes along with speakers and an integrated web cam. There is also audio connectivity through 6 ports or a home theatre setup or through 3.5-mm ports for PC connectivity.

calibrated the display using Display Mate and Datacolor Syper3Elite calibration tool The buttons were quite bad, more over there is no grip as such while constantly adjusting the brightness and contrast using the monitor's controls. When it comes to colours, this LCD barely passed the 16 shade colour intensity shade, as all the primary colours just about made it through without merging of the last few colours.

The VK266H uses a TN panel and in conjuction with the large size (and therefore wider viewing angles) is not very suitable for multimedia content and definitely not for imaging professionals.

After the Spyder3Elite calibration, the difference in the before and after profiles were very visible, and we actually found the default colours to be on the cooler side, not reproducing reds, and to some extent even greens, properly Also the contrast ratio was found to be 527:1 instead of 20,000:1; mentioned on the LCD.
This LCD display is great, though it needs some calibration, and if you are looking for a rig that you can comfortably watch full HD movies on, then this is a definite recommendation from us.
