HP S2231 21.5-Inch Diagonal LCD Monitor - Black

 (3 customer reviews)

I bought two of these for a dual monitor setup in my home office last year. I've used them at least 8-10 hours a day since. I haven't had any of the problems that the other reviewers have. The picture is clear on both my monitors, the colors are sharp, and it only took me about 10 minutes of tweaking to find the right settings. This Sunday I DID notice one pixel is out in the top right hand corner. (I was watching Sunday night football on the web and the screen goes dark when it's a commercial break. I spotted it then.) That's the only reason why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. Of course, I only notice it when the screen is all black. I would recommend these, for sure.

This monitor flcikers , not good wasting your time if you buy this one , customer service tries to sell you something else to get more money out of you .

I ordered this monitor and upon it arriving, found it has no speakers. My fault because I didn't check everything out. The next up-priced 21.5" has them but cost about $20.00 + more. I found HP advises to run this monitor at 1920 x 1080 screen resolution but found that font was so small one could hardly read the writing on the screen. Annoying. I set it to 1080 x 960 with better results. Thinking my computer with Microsoft XP didn't have the right HD driver I, using Amazon's recommendation on the order page, tried to scan & download a right driver. None of this worked and I don't know why. This monitor's picture is so stretched out that everything looks un-nationally fat & really stretched in appearance. The writting is also fuzzy and not black enough. All this is not good at all. I am going to return this monitor and get my money back.
