为 ASUS VT229H 触控显示器拆箱是一种快速体验：您将获得显示器以及所有基本配件。(Unboxing the ASUS VT229H touch monitor is a quick experience: you get the monitor plus all the basic accessories.)
硬件规格
华硕 VT229H(ASUS VT229H)采用21.5 英寸宽屏，纵横比为 16:9，全高清分辨率(Full HD resolution)为 1920 x 1080像素。它使用IPS（平面内切换(In-Plane Switching)）面板，这通常意味着良好的色彩再现(color reproduction)和宽视角：178 度，水平和垂直。最大对比度(contrast ratio)为1000:1，最大亮度为250 cd/m2，响应时间(response time)为5ms。
该显示器也是触控式的，并提供电容式 10 点多点触控的支持，这意味着您可以用十根手指触摸屏幕，并且所有手指都会被检测到。屏幕顶部的触控玻璃厚度为1.1mm，表面光滑。
ASUS VT229H还支持一系列视频定制功能，例如Trace Free 技术、ASUS Splendid(Trace Free Technology, ASUS Splendid) 视频预设(video preset)模式、肤色选择、色温选择(color temperature selection)、低蓝光(blue light)水平或VividPixel。
ASUS VT229H有一个HDMI 端口(HDMI port)和一个D-Sub ( VGA ) 端口、一个 3.5mm音频输入(audio input)和一个USB 端口(USB port)。如果您想知道，USB Type-B 端口(USB Type-B port)用于将显示器连接到您的计算机，它是触控工作所必需的。否则触摸表面无法工作：仅连接HDMI 或 VGA 电缆(HDMI or VGA cables)是不够的，因为它们都不能将数据从触摸表面传输到 PC。内部还有两个立体声扬声器，每个功率为 1.5瓦(Watts)。
华硕 VT229H(ASUS VT229H)通常需要不到 22瓦(Watts)来运行，在省电模式下或关闭时，它消耗的功率不到 0.5瓦(Watts)。
至于其物理尺寸，当与支架一起使用时，显示器的宽度、高度和深度为 19.35 x 11.82 x 8.05 英寸（491.5 x 300.1 x 204.4 毫米）。不带支架使用时，例如安装在墙上时，显示器具有以下尺寸：19.35 x 11.82 x 2.05 英寸（491.5 x 300.1 x 51.9 毫米）。华硕 VT229H(ASUS VT229H)的重量为 8.45 磅或 3.83 公斤，带支架或不带支架的重量为 7.01 磅或 3.18 公斤。
如果您想查看 ASUS VT229H 的所有规格和功能，(ASUS VT229H)请访问ASUS VT229 规格(ASUS VT229 Specifications)。
华硕 VT229H 触控显示器具备普通电脑显示器所需的所有功能，但让它与众不同的是触控屏幕。(The ASUS VT229H touch monitor has all the features required from a regular computer monitor, but what makes it stand apart is the touch screen.)
使用华硕 VT229H 触控显示器
我们最喜欢华硕 VT229H(ASUS VT229H)的地方在于它采用了薄边框设计(bezel design)。显示屏和触控玻璃非常靠近显示器的顶部、左侧和右侧边缘。这使它看起来不错，也使它成为多显示器设置的理想选择。
然而，虽然薄边框看起来很棒，但在使用触控时，你的手指会碰到角落和侧面的边缘。那是因为触摸玻璃没有一直到塑料外壳(plastic case)。在玻璃和塑料之间，您的手指可以感觉到边缘有一个小间隙。
该显示器确实提供了华硕(ASUS)所宣传的 178 度宽视角。但是，在默认设置打开的情况下，可以说图像是“乳白色的”。最初，我们认为问题出在我们使用的HDMI 电缆(HDMI cable)上，所以我们换了另一根，但事实并非如此。在玩了一些设置之后，我们发现了问题：伽玛需要调整。校准后，显示器显示的图像看起来好多了。
我们使用HDMI 电缆(HDMI cable)将显示器连接到台式计算机(desktop computer)。显示器还有一个VGA 端口(VGA port)，可能对较旧的计算机有用。不幸的是，您没有在此显示器上获得DisplayPort，这可能对某些用户有用。
对任何触摸显示器而言必不可少的一项功能是对手势的支持。幸运的是，华硕 VT229H(ASUS VT229H)在这方面做得非常出色：我们尝试的所有常规手势在Windows 10中运行良好。由于显示器支持 10 点多点触控，因此您可以滑动、滑动、捏合或拉伸(pinch or stretch)、旋转，并且可以使用十根手指进行打字。
有些用户可能不喜欢显示器只能倾斜 20 度这一事实。对于触摸显示器来说，这是一个小角度。我们希望能够更多地倾斜，以使其适合绘画或打字等活动。倾斜 20 度时，你不能长时间这样做，因为你的手很快就会疲劳。
如果您打算在多显示器设置中使用(multi-monitor setup)ASUS VT229H，而其他显示器不是带触摸屏的显示器，则只有将ASUS VT229H设置为主显示器时，触摸才能正常工作。如果你把它设置为副屏，用手指触摸它，触摸对主屏有影响，这是奇怪的和意想不到的。
总体而言，华硕 VT229H 是一款外观不错且运行良好的触控显示器。但是，它有一些怪癖，例如可以通过手动配置改进的默认伽马设置，以及有限的倾斜角度。(Overall, the ASUS VT229H is a touch monitor that looks good and works well. However, it has a few quirks such as the default gamma settings that can be improved through manual configuration, and a limited tilt angle.)
您对华硕 VT229H 触控(ASUS VT229H touch)显示器有何看法？
尽管有怪癖，我们还是喜欢使用华硕 VT229H 。(ASUS VT229H)这款触摸显示器在任何桌子上看起来都不错，并且它提供对触摸手势的支持，这很有用。在结束此评论之前，请告诉我们您对ASUS VT229H的看法。你认为它对你来说是一个不错的选择吗？如果您已经拥有它，到目前为止，您对它的体验如何？在下面发表评论(Comment)，让我们讨论。
Review ASUS VT229H: A monitor with touch and a frameless design
In this article, we are testіng and reviewing a touch monitor called ASUS VT229H. Thе manufacturer says that it is a 21.5-inch monitor with a frameless design, 10-point multi-touch, a beаutiful IPS panel, аnd wide viewing angles. Wе were curious whether it was a good рroduct, so we started using it. Here is what we found out about ASUЅ VT229H, during our reviеw:
ASUS VT229H Touch Monitor: Who is it good for?
The ASUS VT229H is a good choice for people who:
- Want a computer monitor with a touchscreen that works with Windows 10
- Prefer displays with a frameless design
Pros and cons
The ASUS VT229H has more than a few good things about it:
- It has a frameless design with thin bezels
- The maximum brightness level is high
- It uses an IPS panel that offers good color reproduction and wide viewing angles
- The touch surface and the gestures work well
We also identified a few drawbacks:
- You have to adjust its gamma settings to improve the default image quality
- It tilts only at about 20 degrees, which does not make it comfortable for activities such as drawing or typing on it
- It lacks DisplayPort and USB ports
Verdict
The ASUS VT229H is a touch computer monitor with an understated look, that is meant for Windows 10 business users. It has a frameless design, and it is not large, meaning that fits well on any desk. Its hardware specifications are in line with other options on the market, and its price is similar too. However, there are a few details that some users might not like, such as the low tilting angle or the need to adjust the gamma settings to improve the default image quality. If these downsides do not represent an important issue for you, ASUS VT229H is a good choice.
Unboxing the ASUS VT229H touch monitor
The ASUS VT229H touch monitor comes in a large box made from regular cardboard. On one of its larger sides, you can see only the ASUS brand and the company's logo, while on the other ASUS printed an image of the monitor and details such as its name, diagonal dimension, and some of its main features.
Inside the box, the monitor is sandwiched between two styrofoam supports, to protect it from shocks during transport. Besides the monitor, the package also contains desk support, an AC power cord, one HDMI and one VGA cable, a USB Type-A to Type-B cable, a 3.5mm audio cable, the quick start guide, a safety information leaflet, and the warranty document.
Unboxing the ASUS VT229H touch monitor is a quick experience: you get the monitor plus all the basic accessories.
Hardware specifications
The ASUS VT229H uses a 21.5-inch widescreen with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. It uses an IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel, which usually means good color reproduction and also wide viewing angles: 178 degrees, both horizontally and vertically. The maximum contrast ratio is 1000:1, the maximum brightness is 250 cd/m2, and the response time is 5ms.
The monitor is also touch-sensitive and offers support for capacitive 10-point multi-touch, which means that you can touch the screen with all your ten fingers and all of them are detected. The touch glass on top of the screen has a thickness of 1.1mm, and its surface is glossy.
The ASUS VT229H also offers support for a series of video customization features, such as Trace Free Technology, ASUS Splendid video preset modes, skin-tone selection, color temperature selection, low blue light levels, or VividPixel.
The ASUS VT229H has an HDMI port and a D-Sub (VGA) port, a 3.5mm audio input and a USB port. In case you are wondering, the USB Type-B port is used to connect the monitor to your computer and it is required for the touch to work. The touch surface cannot work otherwise: it's not enough to just connect the HDMI or VGA cables, because neither one of them can transfer data from the touch surface to the PC. There are also two stereo speakers inside, each with a power of 1.5 Watts.
The ASUS VT229H typically needs less than 22 Watts to run and, in power saving mode or when it is off, it draws less than 0.5 Watts.
As for its physical dimensions, when used with its stand, the monitor has a width, height, and depth of 19.35 x 11.82 x 8.05 inches (491.5 x 300.1 x 204.4 mm). When used without the stand, like when mounted on a wall, the monitor has the following dimensions: 19.35 x 11.82 x 2.05 inches (491.5 x 300.1 x 51.9 mm). The ASUS VT229H weighs 8.45 pounds or 3.83 kg, with its stand or 7.01 pounds or 3.18 kg without the stand.

The ASUS VT229H touch monitor has all the features required from a regular computer monitor, but what makes it stand apart is the touch screen.
Using the ASUS VT229H touch monitor
What we liked most about the ASUS VT229H is the fact that it has a thin bezel design. The display and the touch glass go very close to the top, left and right edges of the monitor. That makes it look good and also makes it ideal for multi-monitor setups.
However, although the thin bezels look great, when using touch, your fingers hit the edges on the corners and sides. That is because the touch glass does not go all the way to the plastic case. Between the glass and the plastic, there is a small gap that your fingers feel on the edges.
The monitor does offer the wide 178 degrees viewing angles advertised by ASUS. However, with the default settings turned on, the image is "milky," so to speak. Initially, we thought that the problem was with the HDMI cable that we used, so we changed it with another one, but that was not it. After playing a bit with the settings, we found the issue: the gamma needed adjustments. Once we calibrated it, the image displayed by the monitor looked a lot better.
We used an HDMI cable to connect the monitor to a desktop computer. The monitor also has a VGA port which may be useful for older computers. Unfortunately, you do not get a DisplayPort on this monitor, which could have been useful for some users.
One feature that is essential for any touch monitor is the support for gestures. Fortunately, the ASUS VT229H does an excellent job in this area: all the regular gestures we tried worked well in Windows 10. You can swipe, slide, pinch or stretch, rotate and you can use all your ten fingers to type, as the monitor supports 10-point multi-touch.
Some users might not like the fact that the monitor can tilt only by 20 degrees. That is a small angle for a touch monitor. We expected to be able to tilt a lot more, to make it comfortable for activities such as drawing or typing. At a 20 degrees tilt, you cannot do any of that for long, because your hand gets tired rapidly.
If you intend to use the ASUS VT229H in a multi-monitor setup where the others are not monitors with touch, the touch works well only if you set up the ASUS VT229H as the primary display. If you set it as the secondary screen and touch it with your fingers, the touches have effects on the primary screen, which is odd and unexpected.
Overall, the ASUS VT229H is a touch monitor that looks good and works well. However, it has a few quirks such as the default gamma settings that can be improved through manual configuration, and a limited tilt angle.
What is your opinion about the ASUS VT229H touch monitor?
We enjoyed using the ASUS VT229H despite its quirks. This touch monitor looks good on any desk, and it offers support for touch gestures, which can be useful.
