Using the VP228HE reveals the benefits of ASUS-exclusive technologies like GamePlus and SplendidPlus. The GamePlus hotkey provides in-game enhancements like crosshair overlays and timers, which are particularly useful for FPS players. Visuals are further refined by VividPixel Technology, which enhances image outlines and reduces noise bars for crystal-clear viewing. The physical build is sturdy, featuring a tilt-adjustable stand (-5° to +20°) that allows users to find their optimal viewing angle quickly.
Compared to standard 21.5-inch office monitors, the VP228HE stands out due to its 1ms response time; most competitors in this price bracket offer 5ms or higher, leading to noticeable motion blur. While IPS panels offer wider viewing angles, the TN panel used here is specifically chosen for its speed and cost-efficiency. Unlike basic monitors that lack audio, the VP228HE includes built-in speakers, saving desk space and reducing the need for external peripherals.
