(The ASUS VK266H also looks neat, with a smooth black finish and a slim bezel, despite the two-megapixel web camera built into the top bezel. This monitor has good build quality. The menu layout is very good but the control buttons are horrible.

The ASUS VK266H did well in the reverse text tests with only white on yellow and cyan on green being hard to read. The 16-shade ramp test didn't do well with the colour red, where three blocks, the 9th, 10th, 11th block on the top row looked similar. The contrast ratio tests were also mediocre, and there was a noticeable orange tinge to things when viewed from wide horizontal angles. Vertical viewing angles are impossible due to the TN panel under the hood although we noticed this panel was worse than some of the other TN panels around and a slight change in the vertical viewing angle changes the picture characteristics significantly. The rendition of green was good, while we noticed banding when displaying reds and blues.

With its good brightness and contrast this monitor is good for games, but movies will be a problem, if only due to the poor viewing angles.
