First off, this is not a professional monitor. However, it is GOOD. For the sub $300 price, you get 24" and the much preferred 16:10 aspect ratio with 1920x1200 pixels. I have used it for various work related tasks and it really is nice. I've used it for watching movies, and I would give it a 8/10 there. Blacks could be blacker, and it doesn't have the viewing angles of an IPS monitor. But it also doesn't have the price of an IPS monitor either. This is the best monitor I have seen AT THIS PRICE POINT. I have a Dell WFP2408 IPS panel at work, and I would not recommend it over this one, unless you must have the color performance of an IPS panel.

I've never been a huge fan of HP/Compaq computers; I had a bad experience with a lemon once. I really only got this monitor because I wanted a 3-monitor setup, and the graphics card required one of them to have a native displayport. I must say that this monitor is amazing. The screen quality is noticeably better than the rest of the monitors in our small office (not to mention that the resolution is better than most other monitors in its price-range). My boss was so impressed that I am pretty sure any future monitor purchases will be this model.

Other notes:
It can rotate (I am finding that a lot of monitors these days can't rotate, which does harm its versatility).
It has a carrying handle (It isn't a huge feature, but it is actually quite useful. I mean, it is really hard to carry an LCD monitor unless you use two hands, or you tuck it under your arm).

2.0 out of 5 stars Cheap product with poor feature set, August 10, 2011

I bought this monitor as a replacement for a 6 yo fancy HP2305 monitor. Of course this monitor is cheaper, but so is the feature set. Two problems come to mind:

1. The default settings are just horrible for this monitor. It has a few defaults one can choose. but all of them are bluish. Did anybody at the company try to put up a brown spotted cow and realize their monitor is making poor cow bluish. I got this monitor to work pretty decently, but I needed to make BIG changes to come to a neutral point. Changed Color Scheme to RGB 255, 200, 200, luminosity to 100, Contrast to 70. OK, factory defaults come too dark, too strong and too blue. I used the previous fancy monitor on default values for 6 yrs, and was happy with those. These defaults are nowhere close to neutral.

2. I understand the arguement that this is a cheapo product. A result of that is that it does not have any fancy viewing angles. I can buy all that logic up to this point. Buf it I sit smack in the middle of the monitor, and I open a white screen, say a maximized notepad editor, screen will be white in the middle, blue at the edges. Because monitor is so cheap, so big, one will never be able to watch a totally white screen from ANY angle, not even from center of the monitor. Once one brings up a color photo, that effect is no longer that visible or disturbing.
