This would have received a 5 star review if the monitor worked correctly.  Love the 24in screen, but it has some functional issues. The picture itself is great, however, every couple of minutes the Asus contrast menu pops up on the screen and stays there for a while, and there's nothing I can do to get it off the screen. For someone using this for work, it's not okay having the center of the screen blocked from view for several minutes, multiple times per hour. Most of the buttons on the monitor don't work, and if I push them 4 out of 6 of them just turns the screen off. I was expecting a regular standing monitor based on the image on the page, but it doesn't stand, seems like it's a wall mount base, or it's suppose to just lean and rest on the base, which takes up a lot of desk space. So for now I'll be hooking the hard drive up to my old monitor so that I can work this week, instead of using the monitor that came with it until it can be replaced....more $$$ out my pocket. No problems so far using the hard drive with my old monitor. Keeping my fingers crossed at this point!********UPDATE************Took  a while for update because computer was shipped with only 1 power cord instead of 2, had to purchase one myself!The replacement computer I was sent is works well, had to buy speakers, because the monitor has no sound. 3.5 out of 5 stars because I had to buy a power cord and PC speakers.
