Cristal Clear Text and Image
Great Color richness
Great color accuracy

tilt adjusting
matte finish(I prefer matte to glossy)
Energy Star qualified (25W maximum)
100mm x 100mm screw-mount

Cons:
No height adjustment.
no HDMI

HP Ads is too sticky

Resolution:
For this size monitor, I think 1600*900 is the ideal size otherwise the text size (1920*1080) will appear too small.

Comparing to 2009m:
2009m is the 2009 model. it is not energy star efficient qualified. it is glossy finish. It does not have 100X100 mount. For 20$ more, I would go for 2010i.

Comparing to 2210m:
The 21.5' 2210m is 1920*1080 full HD with HDMI input and is gloss screen. First of all, 2210m is a great monitor if you like gloss screen and are used to relatively small...Read more

As others have and will say, this is a great monitor. I bought two of these. One 2010i is cabled using DVI and the other is cabled with both DVI and VGA. Very sharp image with excellent color definition for both types of connection. I use it mainly for business apps, with the occasional bit of PC gaming and it's absolutely superb for everything I need it for.

At a price hovering around the $140 mark, this screen represents great value for money too. I replaced an HP 2009m and a ViewSonic VX710. There was nothing wrong with the 2009m (or the ViewSonic for that matter), but I hated the glossy screen finish of the 2009m. If I'd wanted a mirror, I'd have bought a mirror. The 2010i has the matte screen finish which obviously doesn't pick up room light sources and reflections like the 2009m does. Much better!

However, there are a few things about the 2010i which bug me and are worth noting.

1. The power button is located near the bottom right corner...Read more

As others have noted, this is a bright, well sized, and crystal clear monitor. I appreciate the matte finish screen that eliminates glare. The wide screen is handy when displaying two documents, photos, or tax forms side by side. For those of us who are challenged by progressive bifocals, I recommend this monitor.

HINTS:
1. When ordering this monitor,and if your computer has a DVI-D output, order a DVI-D connector at the same time to save some cash. Amazon's price is much cheaper than Radio Shack (I found out after the monitor arrived).

2. I discovered several years ago a residue removal technique that works on all those pesky super sticky labels manufacturers put on everything from pots & pans to computer monitors. Use the label itself to remove the residue. Peel the label off carefully. Then blot (with a little pressure) the sticky residue with the sticky side of the label. For some reason the residue has an affinity for the original label...Read more
