Advantages: Price, performance, simplicity

Disadvantages: No built in speaker

I bought this to replace a 17 inch CRT monitor and oh my; what an improvement! It is so much easier to read text on the screen and everything is clearer and easier on the eye. This is a fairly recent model and so has very good brightness and contrast; which is something the earlier LCD monitors were not very good at.

The styling of the case is such that it takes up the minimal desk space and has a narrow border all the way round the screen which I think makes it look very neat. I can detect no difference in picture quality whether I use the digital DVI input or the analogue VGA input. The pixel size is small so that you cannot see individual pixels even though it is a large screen. This is something I always notice particularly on the older Dell 19 inch LCD monitors, but this one from HP does not have this issue.

Setup is extremely easy, everything is automatic, but you can tweak things afterwards if you like. The only possible improvement to this speaker would be to add an in-built speaker. It displays a flawless image for photo-editing, video playback and games. Oh, and if you get it in the silver colour it doesn't show the dust up so much ;-) I bought mine brand new with full warranty from eBay for £70.

I know I have given it full marks and full stars below, but I really can't find any reason to not give this product full marks on everything!

Summary: Perfect monitor for the small desk and an ideal introduction to flat panel monitors
