The stand is terrible. It will not lock into place at all, and as such will easily dump the monitor onto your desk or floor at the slightest provocation. It's a shame, because the display itself is actually quite nice. If you're reading this and thinking, that's ok, I'm going to put it on a mount, think again: you need a vesa adapter because they chose to forgo having that built in.

Great looking display for the price and a nice size! I originally saw some great reviews for this product so that is what prompted me to choose this monitor, especially after seeing the reasonable price. I later saw some iffy reviews about the monitor stopped working just after getting it, so I started to get nervous as I was waiting for it to arrive.I was nervous because I did have a bad experience with an HP laptop in the past that did not last and questioned HP's reliability. I have only had this monitor for 3 months now, but I haven't had any problems with it so far. I bought it as a second display for a laptop and the colors are very vibrant and have a sharp display. I was looking for a monitor that was adjustable and had all of the ports that I needed. This one did just that. The matte screen also keeps my monitor from collecting visible fingerprints. The monitor was pretty easy to set up. As an IT Specialist, I would highly recommend this product even if you are not on a budget.

Okay so this product for its price is great. It may not be the best monitor with any fancy technology in it, but when you are on a budget and just want a decent monitor that doesn't look like its from the 90s or early 2000s, this is definitely a good go to product.
When I got the monitor i ran the UFO test and it shows that it runs on a steady 60 hz refresh rate. I also ran the dead pixel test, showing that this monitor have no dead pixels. The monitor doesn't really seem to need any calibration out of the box.
If you are an overclocker, the monitor overclocks pretty good as well. The monitor can run on 78 hz stable (at least mine can), but will show out of range notification. I had to down clock to 76 hz to get rid of the notification. Considering most monitors doesn't overclock more than 1 to 5 hz, being able to overclock 16 hz on this monitor is a pretty big deal.

13 inch MacBook compared to 21.5 inch monitor. Just about the right size for me. Works great though resolution not comparable to the laptop

Very good monitor especially for the price. Came in before they said it would (thanks united states postal service!) I draw for a living so this monitor was a great investment. Colors are amazing on it, with viewing angles being a non issue. Also really nice for gaming!
I'll be sure to get a second one in the coming month, even if the bethel will be distracting.

I'm amazed at the world we live in today. I remember paying hundreds of dollars (even ignoring inflation) for lesser tech in the 80s and 90s, and now for a mere $100, you can get such a wonderful product.
This thing is bright, well-made, and is smart looking. When it's off, I can barely make out the screen from the frame. It's fairly simple, just a VGA or HDMI port on the back, and you can select between the inputs easily enough through the hidden buttons on the bottom edge next to the power button.
There appears to be a glare deadening layer of plastic applied to the screen which diffuses lights really well. Even when pointing a bright smartphone flashlight at the screen from about 18" away, it's noticeable, but not distracting. From about 3 feet away, I can't even see much but a faint reflection.
Left and right viewing is awesome, can't hardly see any difference, up and down, grayness sets in after a point, but completely reasonable viewing. You have to work at making the image look bad.
The settings are plentiful, you can even turn the power LED off if you don't want it on or turn on a sleep timer.
I'm really thinking I need another one of these, if not a handful of them. Excellent price for HP quality!

If you're like me and still have one of the older monitors attached to your PC and are looking for an upgrade for a reasonable price this monitor is the one to get. I have to say the difference I've seen between my previous monitor and this one is amazing both with the color and video when watching some of my t.v. shows on my pc from time to time. Pretty easy to setup and start using no glitches or any problems whatsoever. One thing though while the box does come with the VGA cable unless you have an extra HDMI cable at your place you'll need to buy one which is a little annoying but not too surprising since almost every other electronic device has done the same thing. So again if you have one of the older monitors and you can upgrade to a HDMI monitor then do so and for the price this one is definitely worth a look at.

This was packaged well and works fine... except. It has some dead transistors. One dead right out of the box, and then another one showed up recently. It's otherwise a fine little monitor, but dead transistors are horrifically distracting, and one expects that not to happen when the monitor is brand new out of the box, and handled with gentleness while being unpacked and set up. It's not enough to go through the bother of packing it back up and returning it, as it's such a big delicate product, but I'm having second thoughts about buying a second one for the other computer. If tiny black dots that you can't fix bother you, don't risk it by getting this monitor.

Great monitor, good resolution, VGA and HDMI capability, not very expensive. Esthetically pleasant.
I purchased it as second monitor for my workstation at home.
