The Asus VH242H features a 24-inch widescreen display with a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The monitor looks very much like an LCD television, with a high-gloss black finish and a solid but overly large stand. The stand allows for a little forward tilt, but you won't be able to raise the screen as height-adjustment isn't supported. The bezel of the screen is only broken up by the ...

Foxconn BloodRage GTI @ InsideHW | Posted on: 24/07/2009 @ 17:20

Foxconn didn’t pay too much attention at high-end motherboard models and almost all ...
