Hello,

I want to buy a new monitor these days, and I narrowed my choice to two models.

1. Asus VX239H (maybe even MX239H, if it's really worth the price difference - http://www.gigatronshop.com/monitori/asus_led_ips_23_vx239h_full_hd-34463)
2. Samsung LS24D590PL (http://www.monitor.rs/monitori/Samsung-LS24D590PLX)

Now, mostly I play games (CSGO, LoL sometimes...), but I also do some web design and work in Photoshop and Lightroom, and I prefer IPS monitors.
Also, my current job is done on the computer so I need a "not tiring for eyes" kinda option.
Asus looks good, but the speakers are an unnecessary option for me. A lot of people said that the touch-sensitive buttons
for settings can sometimes be a pain, while the Samsung has a little "joystick" which only has "problems" with a bit more complicated turning on/off part.

Samsung also has a metal stand and looks very nice, but I wanted to check with you. For my needs, in terms of characteristics, price/value ratio and other stuff,
which one would you recommend? I think that I can't go wrong with any of these two (three, if I count MX in), but I just want to be on the safe side.

Right now I'm using a 10 year old LG W2243S monitor connected with a VGA cable to my GTX 760 card,
and I would like to connect my new monitor with an HDMI cable.

Would go with the asus everyday of the week no questions asked. Not a massive fan of Samsung screens, although Samsung fan boys will probably murder me now. I'm a massive benq fan and have had a few too many screens (most brands) and would recommend the asus, it's a better screen, and generally I find Asus more reliable. Oh and if support is important to you, in case something goes wrong, Samsung support is useless they are continually changing what company they contract to do repairs, so if something goes wrong with the repair it's an absolute nightmare because you keep getting bounced between the two (speaking from personal experience from past work). Asus support is far better, they have a dedicated repair team. So yeah go the asus.

After some time of thinking and researching, I almost got the Samsung monitor.
Then I thought about your words, wehler53, and I've had my share of problems with RMA-ing some technical equipment, and it was a pain.

So in the end, I ordere the Asus VX239H, and I don't want to think about it anymore :)
I know I'll be happy with my choice, and that it's gonna serve me well.

Thanks again, wehler53!
