Reactive but colors aren’t too accurate
Unfortunately, here again we find a defect that is too frequent with Asus. Default colors lack accuracy. Moreover, there isn’t just a lack of color fidelity but images also could have been more vivid.
We recommend you manually increase Brightness and Contrast to 100 as with this setting colors are more accurate. In addition, these were the values used to create the calibration profile we offer.

Asus renews its screen line with a major expected change. Goodbye glossy panels and here is the return of the matte. Colors may appear less lively, but the image is no longer subject to a mirror effect. And it’s actually something we prefer. Another appreciable point is the price which is noticeably lower. Now, indulging in an Asus screen isn’t necessarily a luxury despite the presence of an integrated webcam, nice finishing touches and this monitor’s class. The other side of the coin is that the screen loses its DVI interface in the process. The VK222S is a product made for games (it has a good and very reactive TN 2 ms panel) but it’s analog. Also, it’s not vertically adjustable, cannot be rotated, there is no card reader, etc.
We just mentioned that the panel is good for gaming; however, it should be optimized. You can noticeably improve reactivity via the Overdrive option in the menu by adjusting it to 80. Once this is done, the VK222S is amongst the TOP gaming screens with the current best reactivity..jpg)
The Product Face-offs show the minimum and maximum afterglow of this screen.
The graph displays the frequency of colored and transparent afterglow images with the colored ones being the most bothersome.

However, we do have one reservation for fans of LAN games: the VK222S has on average an input lag of one and a half images. Of course, you have to be extremely observant to see it and only a few fanatics will be sensitive to this...
- Design, finishing touches, quality of materials
- Zero black or hot pixel warranty
- Integrated webcam
- Good reactivity, deep black
- Low energy use
- Colors aren’t accurate
- No digital input
We have mixed feelings. We liked its look, reactivity, and integrated webcam; however, its colors could have gotten a little more attention and the absence of a digital input even on an inexpensive product is surprising.
