Asus, perphaps best known for its line of motherboards and Eee PC family, is getting serious about its LCD business too. Already a player in the display market, Asus expects to ship between 4.5 million to 5 million LCD monitors around the globe in 2010. That's a jump of 29-43 percent from the 3.5 million displays Asus shipped in 2009.
A big part of that push will come from LED-backlit monitors with screen sizes ranging from 15.6 inches to 27 inches. By the end of the year, Asus sees LED-backlit displays accounting for 10-15 percent of its total shipments.
Many of these will also end up in Taiwan. Asus ranked as the Taiwan's top LCD vendor in 2009 with 400,000 units, enough to claim 25 percent of the market. Both Acer and Chimei were somewhat of a distant second with 250,000 units shipped each.

Between 3D, LED backlit (marketing gimmick in my opinion), and larger screens, every freaking electronic company is expecting a bumper crop of LCD sales this year. What that means is that wait until Xmas and there will be millions of unsold LCD screens for dirt cheap prices!

I don't know if it's best to wait for VG242H or a led-backlit
120hz monitor which is hunched to be released from some before the year ends. The "wait-itch" is killing me after
TgrD sold out of its GD235HZ which was sold out in many places :(_______________________________________________

I wanted to buy one, but ordered a Acer instead because it was in stock. Oh well.

three 22" asus monitors and a 1080p 21.5 and all look great. been buying Asus monitors for a while now because Samsung's ego has gottten a tad to large. Prices have gone up and quality down. So i went on a search to find comparable quality from an up and comer and Asus fit the bill perfectly.
