Amazing Deal Review - ASUS VS247H-P 23.6-Inch LCD Monitor

First off, in case it is not clear from the title, the VS247H-P features LED backlighting. Also, it has a matte (anti-reflective) finish on the screen (the bezel, by contrast, is glossy).
Since no one had reviewed this yet when I bought it (it's a new model) I was a little hesitant at first. Happy to report this is an excellent display. In fact, I like it better than any of the TN panel displays I saw at my local retail stores. (Since I use it for gaming primarily, I was not in the market for an IPS display because of their slower response times.)

Pros:
It has a very attractive simple design. The bezel is slim, the stand seems sturdy. It is fairly thin (but not razor thin). Runs very cool. Great colors (I didn't know Starcraft 2 could look this good!). Excellent response time. I haven't noticed any bleeding around the edges - the backlighting seems very even. I like the hidden physical buttons on the bottom right of the display (instead of touch based buttons). When the monitor goes to sleep, it there is a small dull orange light (instead of an annoying bright blinking blue light like some other displays).

Cons:
As with all TNs, there is some color shift when viewed at an off-angle, but this is less noticeable than on other displays I have tried. I would prefer that it didn't say "HDMI" on the lower left corner of the front of the unit (not an eyesore or anything, just wish it was a removable sticker instead of painted on).
My first unit had a bright blue stuck pixel in the center - Amazon promptly sent a replacement. New unit is great.
