Summary: the monitor by itself is great but...................? 2010-05-13
Comment: the monititor itself is just great. it doesn't say hd on it anywhere and if it isn't it might as well be. the picture is clear, bright and crisp. the problem i have at least with the one i have is the the stupid pain in my ass base stand? the stand keeps coming apart if you move the monitor to wipe and clean the computer desk? it is very irritating and bothersome to put it back together as there is a power cord and a cable connected to it and it is off balanced. major pain in the ass. but like i said the monitor itself is really nice. so just don't move it to clean your desk? lol!

Summary: Nice screen 2010-04-26
Comment: I bought this to go with my new HP computer and it matches perfectly. The picture is crisp and clear. The sound is decent as long as you don't plan on using this screen for an entertainment center. Sometimes I've noticed that some of the movies that I watch are just a little too quiet and I'll have the screen turned all the way up as well as on the computer. But I love that you don't need speakers that take up extra space to have sound with your computer. so, for me, it equals out.

Comment: This is a replacement for the old monitor I had and it's great. The first one they sent could not be color balanced, this one is great. Good size, perfect color. They are great in customer response. I'd highly recommend them to anybody looking for a great price & product.

Summary: Not lovin' it 2009-12-30
Comment: I'm on my third HP laptop/PC system. Generally my purchases have been problem-free, which is why I continued to go back to HP. However, this monitor -- which I am using with the Pavilion 6240 -- has been a problem.
One issue is the integrated speakers, which are weak and lack sound volume & quality, imo.
The second issue is more troubling. The screen picture always needs adjustment, especially after reboots and system changes/tweaks. The picture reverts to a horizontal picture that is slightly off-screen (horizontal right) and an off-kilter clocked image. The image issues are noticeable and require a manual fix, which are some combination of factory resets and auto-adjustment of 1, 2 or 3 clicks. What the exact combination is ... who knows? The combination that works changes from day to day. This is such an irritant.
The image control problem with this monitor is well-known. I just wish I knew about it before making the purchase. I can't wait to replace this monitor, and I will think twice before purchasing HP again.
