Customer Reviews

What I wish I knew before...
As others have written, the visuals on this monitor are excellent, the sound is on the tinny side. I'm writing to cover new ground. I purchased this monitor from Amazon on May 21. It worked well for a week or so, then came the problems. The screen would go black when it was powered up. Unplugging worked for a while, but eventually the monitor went all white. To make a long story short, we called HP and the tech figured it was a bad pixel. In the chain of interviews one woman tech agreed when asked, that they would send a new, not refurbished monitor. When a refurbished monitor arrived, I connected to an HP supervisor and found the full story. When you purchase from an authorized dealer (Amazon is not) there can be a store warranty (eg 30 days, 15 days, whatever the store chooses). If I had purchased from such a dealer,and was over the store warranty a few days, the HP supervisor could have (at their discretion) sent me a new, not refurbished monitor. As it was, HP sent the refurbished model under a manufacturer's warranty. The HP warranty allows them to send a a new or refurbished replacement. It appears to be random, odds are it will be refurbished. This one year warranty on the model purchased from Amazon began not on the May purchase date, rather it is from the January 2008 manufacture date. If I had returned this monitor to Amazon, I would be subject to a 15% restocking fee. Welcome to a rock and a hard place. Failures like this are likely rare, but it leaves us with a refurbished model instead of the new one I paid for. Buyer beware.

Sweet monitor!

This is a sweet monitor! The colors are rich. This is a glossy display .

This monitor has a VGA and an HDMI input - there is no DVI so you need a dvi-hdmi cable if your going to hook it up to your dvi port on your computer's video card , the monitor does not come with this cable... it does come with and hdmi and vga cable.

I hooked my Xbox 360 using the xbox vga cable and it is awesome!

I hooked my computer using the hdmi to dvi cable (bought separately ) .. the button in from allows me to switch screen so both can be up and running using the one screen. You can also change the richness of the colors with a button in front too (photo,gaming,text,etc...) so when your gaming just press the button and jack up the colors ...

The monitor does portrait mode too.

Overall this is a quality monitor for a great price.... only short coming is the hdmi-dvi lack of cable , it should come with it but does not.

4.5 stars - very good, highly recommended
I've had this for 6 weeks. It worked flawlessly right out of the box -- I didn't need to fiddle with the color/brightness/contrast settings at all.

The display's picture and video quality is outstanding with rich colors and deep blacks. When I bought my Dell XPS laptop, I paid extra to upgrade to an LED display, which is better than the standard one. I used to love my laptop's display - until I got this HP monitor!

Text quality is good to excellent, depending on the font and size. Small font sizes are pretty readable, though some fonts aren't quite as crisp as I would have hoped for what, to me, is a fairly high-end monitor.

The included speakers are mediocre at best. If there is a version of this monitor that doesn't have the speakers (but is otherwise identical), then I'd recommend you get that instead.

I really like that you can turn the monitor 90 degrees to portrait mode, and the picture will automatically rotate so that it has the correct orientation. This is great for viewing documents as they would print on a standard sheet of paper.

This monitor has an HDMI input and comes with an HDMI cable. (Those cables are expensive, so it's great that HP includes one!) My Dell XPS laptop has an HDMI output, so that's how I connect. HDMI makes hookup easy, and maximizes picture quality. Most laptops don't have HDMI outputs, but if you have a DVI output you can get a DVI/HDMI adapter, or you can simply use the analog output.

If looks matter to you, I think you'd be happy with the looks of this monitor. The front has a piano gloss black frame around the edge of the display. The side and rear views are nothing special but not ugly like many monitors. I think the monitor looks good, but understated, so it blends in rather than sticks out.

HP sells an "easyclip" kit, which I bought. It includes four accessory holders that clip on to wherever you prefer along the side or top edges of the display. Two of these holders will hold a single photo or piece of paper (shopping list, perhaps). One holds a single flower, or a pen or pencil. And one holds headphones. I like having the easyclip holder kit, but it is definitely not essential. If you buy this monitor, it has a (removable) sticker on the base, advertising the easyclip kit.

If you have a laptop, here's a really useful thing you can do with this (or any other) monitor, depending on your laptop's video card.

After connecting the HP monitor, run both monitors simultaneously. Set either one to be the "main" one (with all your desktop icons and start button), and make the other one the "secondary" monitor. The secondary monitor acts as an extension to the main one. So, for example, you can drag anything from your desktop (say, a browser window that is not maximized) toward the right of the screen. As it starts to go over the right edge of the main display, it starts to appear on the left edge of the secondary display. You can run/view different things in the two displays - at the same time! I find this incredibly useful in my work - it greatly increases the effective screen real estate you have to work with. Very cool! Try it out!
