ASUS VS239H-P 23-Inch Full-HD LED IPS Monitor for $159.99 AR w/FS

Seems like a good deal. I would like to point out though that Amazon shows this monitor as having a 2ms response time which I thought was crazy for an IPS panel. Looking at Newegg for the same model, they show 5ms. Not that it's a dealbreaker, IPS panels have come a long way. Just wanted to make people aware of this.

Thumbs up

Sales tax kills the deal for me. Thanks OP anyways.

I do not think you are looking at the right rebate form.....

3. A copy of the Signed Rebate Form, Copy of Receipt/Invoice or Packing
List, Original UPC/Serial Number Barcode Label, with order-purchase
date between 3/1/2013 and 3/31/2013 must be included with rebate
request.

I have also attached the rebate form to the original post so check that out as well.

^^ Ohh Okay, I just clicked the rebate form on the amazon product page. = )

Better than the Dell equivalent that made FP a few weeks ago.

BH Photo is $166 AR but no tax for non-New Yorkers.

What's the difference between this ans the VS238H-P?

(sorry if it's obvious, my knowledge of monitors approaches zero)

ASUS VS239H-P has better viewing angle.

however ASUS VS238H-P has a better response time of 2ms

If you want better true contrast then look at an A-MVA panel in the same price range. They are 24". The recent A-MVA panels have much better pixel response than the previous generation. The Dell S2440L even has an input lag of 5 ms, according to tftcentral's review.

IPS provides better viewing angles, but contrast is a more important feature for people who aren't sharing their monitor with others (like a TV watched by a group). The exception is a pro workflow that requires very accurate color, and those people are going to buy a higher-end panel than one of these, generally. And, A-MVA still has wider viewing angles than TN.

VS238H-P isnt a IPS panel.

Specifically, it's a TN panel.
