After our rather critical review of the MS236H were are pleased to report that Asus have raised the bar with the release of their new ML248H panel. As a general screen for watching movies and playing games it is going to be a good purchase, and we also appreciate the very low power drain. This won't hit your electricity bill hard every quarter.

It isn't without fault, there is some colour bleed across the width of the screen and there is minor backlight leakage on the edges, with white balance slightly out, more so on the left of the screen.

Gaming and watching movies on the ML248H is a fine experience, thanks to the very fast response times and wonderful black definition. The black consistency is very strong from left to right, with only minor backlight leaks on the corners, hardly noticeable.

From an aesthetic point of view, it really doesn't get much better than this – Apple would be proud of the design and we can imagine that this will find a home in a living room, kitchen or bedroom with a Playstation 3 and modest sound system. 1080p quality is excellent and the screen faithfully reproduces a high level of detail.

We don't yet have confirmed pricing, but we would expect the screen to cost around £250 when it hits UK retail outlets.

KitGuru says: A massive improvement for Asus and a panel worth buying.
