Brief Description:

This is a 23", 7lb monitor (actual diagonal measurement 23") with a tiltable (-5 to +15 deg) screen. It has a inputs for VGA, DVI and HDMI, and the input can either be auto-switched or user-selected. The auto-switch seemed to work fine with one active input- I never tried it with two active at the same time.

The front panel contains the usual power on button and the menu and selection buttons-but the backlights can be disabled! One less annoying little LED that is always on. There are no other ports of any type.

The monitor looks cool! It is very thin-maybe slightly less than half the thickness of a deck of cards and has a nice dark grey/black finish that seems to resist fingerprints somewhat. The base is fairly small, and the monitor appears top-heavy. It doesn't fall over, but I'd be careful about bumping it. Since I live in an earthquake zone, I'll probably figure a way to secure it so it can't fall over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good monitor for text and graphics, September 20, 2011

I have a MacBook Pro and I wanted to add a monitor to it. My primary use is for text and sharp graphics (the display of music editing software, like GarageBand, which shows images of waveforms, etc. I went to a store and had the sales associate put on a web page that had the text and lines that were a realistic test for my use since the usual display was of photographs. I do not play games on my computer, nor use it as a TV. Photo editing is a secondary use. I learned that most of the monitors there had an anti-glare surface, which is a basically a rough surface on the display which does two things: it causes light that is reflected in the room to be diffusely reflected from the screen, and, it also reduces the sharpness, slightly but noticeably, of the image because you are viewing the image not through a smooth surface, but a rough surface, which causes the light, both reflected and transmitted (through it) to be diffused. The down side to a smooth (glossy) surface monitor... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Performance that Replaces a 3 Month Old Samsung, June 21, 2011

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
Just when you think things can't get too much better in a short period of time, you are proved wrong. In this case, I had just purchased a Samsung 21.5 inch monitor three months ago and thought the picture was crisp, the response time was fast, and the unit was small and thin.

I was wrong: this HP 23 inch monitor is 100% better than the Samsung. With a contrast ratio of 8 million to 1, a 3 ms response time (5 ms for the Samsung), 9.8 mm thick, and weighing what seems like a few ounces this is an awesome monitor.

Comparing the user experience against a couple of games I play, the pictures were much more crisp and I didn't realize how much I was missing earlier until playing them on the HP monitor. The screens refreshed and were displayed a heck of a lot faster and in greater detail.

But it just wasn't the games, which were nice, but the real benefit for me was being able to see letters in email and Word and Excel a lot crisper. Staring at a computer... Read more
