I had been doing tons and tons of research about various monitors over the course of about a month or so. Recently I stopped by frys electronics and they had a sale on this monitor so I looked it up but there werent many reviews about it, however there were great reviews about last year's model. So I took the plunge I bought it yesterday and I love it. I have it hooked up to my macbook pro 13 inch, and am using 1080p resolution, it looks fantastic. The speakers suck of course but nobody buys a monitor just for the speakers.

Positive
-looks great
-colors are fantastic
-low response time
-HDMI port

negative
- only one hdmi port
- bad speakers
- no usb hub

However, This a FANTASTIC monitor, it is much more than I expected, the picture quality is amazing.
I would highly recommend this HP 2509m monitor

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best purchases I've made, November 2, 2009

This review is from: HP 2509m 25-Inch Diagonal Full HD LCD Monitor (Black) (Personal Computers)

Pros:
- Big, nice 25" screen
- 1080p
- Sharp, crisp, clear picture
- DVI and HDMI inputs
- Hidden speakers, which are great for what they are, especially to HDMI sources like PS3/360 when you don't have the convenience of external speakers. These are laptop quality speakers, but the good kind of laptop quality speakers.
- Swivel function is very useful, allowing for free rotation
- Screen has a somewhat glossy finish, which is surprisingly anti-glare
- sRGB function is great for most people who don't like to calibrate. In a dim room like mine, setting it to warm with a brightness of 29 and a contrest of 64 yielded exceptional results.
- I tested my PS3 to this, connected via HDMI in both 1080p and 720p and it works flawlessly
- Video dynamic function works very well for fast moving games
- Input lag is good enough for me to do my combos in Blazblue
- Very little, if none, backlight bleed/flashlighting
- Price

Cons:
- HP logo is a smidgen off center
- Stickers that were on the frame of the monitor left small amounts of residue when peeled off, but were easy to remove
- No height adjustment
- Almost wish I got the 27" version!


As an audio engineer/music composer, I needed a new monitor to replace my current one. I've been in the market for some larger screen real estate, and something to connect my game consoles to when I travel, and have been looking for one suitable for my needs for at least half a year now. $400 and below was my limit, and I had been looking around at the newer models out there (LG, Samsung TOC, Asus, Acer, Viewsonic). Almost picked up the LG one on aesthetics alone, but a trip to the store to look at the color and I found that I didn't like what I saw, even after adjusting it to my liking. On the other hand, I thought the HP monitors looked pretty good, but were rather high in price ($400-$500) and lacked a DVI/HDMI duo. I almost decided to wait for the Samsung XL2370 when this monitor popped out of nowhere. Under $300? 25 inches? Dual HDMI/DVI? I bought it right away on impulse, and with confidence I can say that it far exceeded my expectations. Love the picture on this, and I'm glad I decided to get this instead of waiting for the smaller XL2370. After having a 25" monitor sitting in front of you, you really don't want to get any smaller than this!

This review is from: HP 2509m 25-Inch Diagonal Full HD LCD Monitor (Black) (Personal Computers)

Bought this montor from J&R via Amazon was amazing. Like another reviewer said, I also went to Fry's and evaluate all the high-end monitors, from Acer, LG, Samsung, NEC, some generic names in between, but I was impressed with this HP2509 (25") diagonally. I did have an HP 19" before, but this one is better with soft lines where it didnt hurt my eyes. At the time being I'm getting a 9600 NVIDIA HDMI 3DDR PCI-e 2.0 video card plus addition 700W Power Supply for my current system hopefully it be much better....may add more info when becomes available.
