Side by Side Comparison of: HP vs Generic

I like to monitor, but the power supply is not functioning. I am using a substitute. I don't want to ding it just for minor thing.I am trying to reach supplier to just send me the power supply, I hope they don't ask me to return the whole thing, it will affect my work.One problem is that it has only 15-pin port. It is uncomfortable, when you want to connect to another machine you need an adopter.I wish I could return it back.

The best and cheaper monitor you can ever get and worth the money. Never regret getting this product because it is very durable and convenient. When I put it on my desk, it was the perfect size and I love it so much. So far, I don't have any problems. The assembly was super fast and easy also the shipping too. It arrived in two days.

We bought this second monitor for our use with the Surface Pro 4. So far it has been working flawlessly. The picture quality, color richness, and ease of use are great. We recommend it strongly.

One thing I have to point out, if the monitor comes broken it has nothing to do with the company. Some reviewers gave it 1-3 stars because they received it broken. Dont be fooled because that doesn't happen very often and can be shipped back for free if it does.The Monitor itself is really great. One of the pictures were very misleading because it looks like the monitor is tilted up a little, but its not so no worries. No problems at all, very good quality, and no shipping damage. Looks really great for a monitor too so if your looking for a cheap good quality and good looking monitor, you've found what your looking for.

So far I love it. Screen is just right for my limited space. A 1080p monitor with hdmi and IPS is a steal at $100, its that simple people. See my pics.

Wow! This product is amazing it makes my ACER monitor look like crap. The color on the you tube video played on both monitors (left) ACER (right) HP. It is another great product made by HP. Will buy again.

Best thing that has came out yet. This monitor honestly makes my day 100% easier.

Wished it came with a HDMI converter, however it was able to perform with the extensions provided with the package.Nice image quality. For the price, great tool for multitasking. I am able to extend my desktop to the second screen ...this way working on multiple projects at the same time... Before purchase, make sure your Graphic card has multiple port. I use a Nvidia Radeon R7 250X ... Also works for a Radeon HD 7770 Graphic card.

Perfect and great value!

I loved these Dual monitors, they fit for what I need and I've been using them now over a year and have had no signs of any issues. They are used extensively 7 days a week at least 12 hours a day On top of that they're very affordable in comparison with other dual set up's.

Monitors are awesome! I have bought them for my entire office. They are a great alternative to the $600 dell dual monitors. After operating with them, I can't believe I stayed with a single monitor set up for so long.

Works as advertised! It is really handy to use when working multiple projects; cross-referencing, or doing research as I do quite a lot of. You need to make sure that your computer's video card supports dual monitors and that you have a second monitor port or have one installed. I liked these twin screen monitors so much I bought another two for my office!

My older HP SlimLine desktop has just the VGA output, and I neglected to get the VGA to HDMI adapter. I should receive the VGA to HDMI adapter in a couple days, and I will then give an updated review once I have the adapter installed. Otherwise, viewing the VGA output is not bad if all you have is VGA capability. I also recommend to lower the blue light display to save your eye strain....Update: received the VGA to HDMI adapter and installed. Very easy BTW, and the display is why I upgraded to HD instead of the ol' VGA. Very nice monitor for the price....

It's holding up well, but goes to sleep too quickly, and is slow to wake up. I don't know if there's a setting somewhere I can change that, but it can be a bit annoying. Otherwise, I loved the price and it's doing it's job. That's all I can ask.

So, it hooks up fine and looks good... resolution is very good for my needs (back up graphics computer)... with only a couple reservations (with the price consideration intact). The VGA hookup is antiquated in my opinion... my video card doesn't even have a VGA output, but fortunately I had an adapter in my 'old' computer apparatus box. It worked. Monitor seems to be clean, bright and worth the low price. BTW... I had mistakenly put the stand base wrong side up - as it seemed several other reviewers might have also... snap button goes on the bottom side... at first it would not snap together securely. Upon closer inspection, I noticed my error and it now works correctly.

Is this a stunning, perfect display? No, not really. But it is perfect as a low-cost secondary display for a laptop. I work from home frequently, and my little laptop screen wasn't cutting it to connect to the bigger dual-monitor display setup I have on my desk at work. I needed something that was fairly inexpensive, but would be easy on the eyes when I'm coding for work. I bought it along with a VESA adapter and a mounting arm, because I like to put my secondary displays in portrait mode, and the stand it comes with doesn't do that. Color and resolution seem pretty good. The back light is nice. There's a tiny bit of light bleed around the edge of mine, but I use it in a fully lit room during daytime hours, so it's not bothersome. I do wish that the place you put the VESA adapter or stand was more centered, because the monitor is a little wobbly, even on the arm I have it mounted on. Otherwise, it's a solid monitor considering I only paid $100 for it. If you're looking for some fancy display for watching high definition movies and playing games, maybe this isn't it. But if you need a second or third monitor for internet browsing / writing code / basic stuff, this is a good choice.

When I first set-up the monitor, the HDMI would not work nor be recognized by the monitor as an actual signaled input. I tried everything, so I called HP and had a long discussion with the tech, tried changing out HDMI cables (none came with the monitor, by the way). I reached a point where I decided the problem was with my 4 year old Gateway and had decided I would have to use the VGA for this monitor and just live with it.About 3 hours later after taking off the HDMI connection, I tried to try again for the hell of it. I hooked up the HDMI and guess what? It worked! Don't ask why it worked and don't ask an HDMI cable did not come with the monitor (only VGA), but it works fine now and is a clear presentation. Unreal - Ihave never seen a delayed reaction for an electronic device like this.

Quite pleased with this monitor. It arrived quickly and was quite easy to set up and get started with. Brilliant and bright screen and gives plenty of space to spread out with a number of open windows. The only criticism I'd make is that it doesn't permit enough tilt to the front. With only a 2% option I found it still hard to enjoy the looks. I added about a quarter inch "buffer" under the back of the stand and that made it exactly right. Just think it would be better if HP had allowed more front tilt.

Not as bright as I'd like it to be and the glare is sinister during morning hours, other than that, it takes up minimal space and works wonderfully. Just remember to tighten the screens onto the base as TIGHT AS POSSIBLE to secure the connection. Follow the instructions on setting up the monitors. You will have to buy a display port adapter if attaching this to a dell that does not have dual VGA DVI inputs.

Very Well packaged. It seems to be a very nice product for the price. Easy to install. All adapters and cables included. Easy to install 5 minutes. The only wish list item I would like to see is that the Vertical swivel is not there to adjust for Glare and proper viewing angle. I will be buiying a few more for the office.

I was wary of getting a pair of monitors from a company I'd never heard of, but I took a chance after reading the mostly positive reviews here. I'm happy I did. The space-saving design is great, and the construction is durable. The monitors have a tiny bit less contrast than I'd like, but otherwise the display quality is fine, especially for the price. I appreciate the bonuses of a built-in webcam and three USB ports in the base.

You get what you pay for. Dual Screen set up. somewhat take up half of my desktop but I make it manageable. Not sure if I can recommend this for most as they may want the screens bigger. Also, set up takes a while as far as programming the assigned computer to these, including calibration/ screen shift. They do the job though by providing more work space.

Just received this item today and I am very impressed. Easy setup. Easy installation. For me it was plug-and-play, and I am no computer guru. It worked for me without having to use the installation CD! The packaging was impressive, too.Comes with all kinds of adapters so as long as your computer supports two monitors you should have no trouble getting it hooked up.The only downside I have found is the monitor stand does not telescope. It is a fixed height, which is too low for my desired ergonomics, so I am going to have to create some kind of platform for it.

Tech support not very smart. Told me I couldn't hook up dual monitor cable to a laptop docking station. I had figure it out myself. Secondary monitor goes black occasionally and I have to turn off monitors to get them both back on. It's happened twice in 1 month of 50 hour a week usage.

I got this to use it with my son's KANO Kit. The graphics requirements for the KANO is pretty basic, so it works for that, but anything more would be pushing it. This is not for use for games, or watching TV or anything like that

Scratches very easily :( Was wiping it with a soft and appropriate cloth brand new out of the package and it somehow got scratched already. Good borderless view, very clear pixels, easy set up.

Received yesterday and installed. Looks great from the beginning but then played a video and the bottom left side at the very lip of the edge of the monitor appears to have a light bleed. Good news is it is not necessarily in my field of vision and you don't notice it when doing normal internet stuff. Just when watching something that is darker. I will have to use it for a few days before I can decide whether it will be super annoying or not. I may eventually get used to it and not even notice. Other than this though the monitor itself is very nice and provides a very good picture.

The screen has worked great so far! However I've had it less than a month now, and already have what appears to be a stuck pixel. I have one solid Red pixel on the lower left corner of my screen. It hasn't been hit or bumped at all. It has just been on my desk. Guess I'll see if amazon or HP will let me return it for a replacement.

The resolution on this monitor is pretty good for the price and it has lots of adjustment options. Color is also good but nothing to get excited about. Unfortunately, I think it a little dim and wish it had more back lighting. I have a large window next to my computer in my office and I don't have much control on the light coming through it. When the sun is bright, I have a hard time reading with this monitor. It easily catches glare from other light sources and bright fluorescent lighting.The price was very good but doesn't outweigh the back lighting issue. I'm tempted to replace it after a month.

The cosmetics are excellent. A great look for the price. However the colors seem washed out. On this monitor 'pure black' (0, 0, 0) is illuminated far too much compared to your average monitor. This illumination gives it a borderline grey-like appearance. Spent a couple hours fiddling with all possible color settings, contrast, brightness, Technicolor (HP), disabling "black-stretch", etc. to no avail.Acceptable but not recommended.

Wobbles, with an annoying popup every morning when it is turned on,

The resolution is far behide from the main stream model, and the one i got has issues that the screen shift to the right. The material used for the stand and screen frame is nice from looking at it.

Great concept, but the quality of the monitors is just ok. I expected better.

Worked for about a year... and then the screen no longer lite up

OSD Lockout issue which doesn't allow you to control buttons on bottom of the monitor and HP does not help what so ever! My advice is to not use your hard earned money to invest into HP as a company! Their customer service is crappy and I so wish I was warned before I purchased this product. This is my first HP purchase as I have dell. Product also has a warning label stating "WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer." Why would a monitor contain chemicals that cause cancer??? Agents do not seem to be located in the US either and have no knowledge what so ever on this product but the fact that its HP LOL like seriously. HP is a joke :(

When displaying white, there are noticeable horizontal flickers moving slowly from the bottom of the screen to the top of the screen. I do find the flicker distracting and annoying. I can barely live with it. Have not been annoyed enough or have enough time to try to exchange for another monitor. Not sure if this is a rare defect or a common occurrence. Other than that, the display operates as intended.

I wanted to like it. I really did. The screen is great with no glare, black blacks, solid colours and a snappy reaction time.Setup is a breeze as well, you just snap in the stand to the base and the monitor to the stand. Quite sturdy compared to some others since it's inlaid with metal.The only issue I have, is that like another reviewer here, I have an issue with it randomly deciding to turn off the screen for a few seconds (flickering) and then come back on. It's disturbing when I'm watching a video or gaming on it because I can't do anything during that time.Reached out to HP, they sent another one (had to pay shipping since I'm not in the US), and they want the old one back. Here's the kicker, the new one has the same issue too now. No other monitor or TV I've tried has had this issue with my laptop. End all, I'm paying more to get the replacement that doesn't work and ship back the old one that doesn't work than I originally paid for the dang thing.Summary: Get another monitor, maybe something from Acer or ASUS or Samsung or LG....

I bought this monitor just to use it as a secondary monitor when I work on documents. However, I did not get clear reception. Letters were not clear and images were blurry. Other people seem to like this monitor so I am not quite sure if it was just mine. Still, I would recommend spending more money to get a better monitor.

I will echo what some have said here already. This is by no means a crisp monitor. The letters have shadowing. I purchased for my office as a second screen with my Varidesk and my laptop looks better, even though the screen resolution is lower. I have to decide now whether I want to send it back. Disappointing to say the least, but you also get what you pay for.

After a couple of months no screen. company wouldn't replace unless I purchased another first. I work from home and couldn't wait that many days to return, order another, have it shipped. So I purchased a second one. Worked ok until this morning. Monitor #2 stopped while working. These were an excellent fit for my desk. Wish their customer service had been better along with their product. I wouldn't recommend at all.

DVI inputs are too finiky. It will not accept most adaptors or converters. Accepts direct VGA or DVI inputs only. Would not display most usb to DVI or Display port to DVI adaptors. Not Ideal for ddual display using one laptop. You really need to have either: two computers/laptops or a graphics card that that can push out to two seprate displays. Splitters don't work even when using active adaptors.Also tried using a docking port with my HP Elite book. Only the VGA works consistently. The DVI and display ports don't work with this monitor.

Junk, stopped working after 6 weeks. Do not buy

This monitor power has a problem. I bought this 5 months ago. Worked fine for two month, then monitor stopped working. I called HP support. They said there could be static, unplug power and see if it works. It started working. Now I have same issue. I will call them again tmr. So overall, stay away from this monitor. Looks like there is a known issue with this product.

Stopped turning on after a few hours of use. However, Amazon promptly returned my money - thank you!

I stopped using this monitor for 2 days and it quits working. It recognizes that there is a hdmi plugged in, and then it just says "display going to sleep" and turns off I have looked all over on the internet for fixes for the problem and nothing works. I do not recommend this monitor to anybody who wants a reliable monitor for there computer

This moniter will not work with an iMac, there is some problem of compatability between the video card and the monster. There is no info nor a driver on the HP site to facilitate.

I've had this monitor since May and I already have a ton of dead pixels. VERY very upset at this. I turn off my monitor every night so this shouldn't happen.

I hate this thing. it's a pain in the butt to get set up. it's uneven. i can't believe this thing wen tfor 600+ dollars in 2012. what a rip off,. very dssapointed

1 screen broke after the first year of use and could not return it. If 1 screen breaks it would render the whole unit awkward to use. Better off getting a separate monitor and connect to laptop setting up via dual monitor settings. This product is not worth it to buy and is rather expensive. I ended up trashing it via the neighborhood e-waste program.

The monitor is fine but Tech Support is horrible!. They were arrogant and rude and didn't even know what they were talking about! They told me that I could not use this dual monitor with a laptop at all and there was no way to make it work. I said that I wished the specs had been clear about that so that I hadn't wasted my time and money on a monitor I couldn't use and they told me that I "obviously didn't know anything about computer monitors" and that I should "read comments before I purchased" because the comments said that it wouldn't work with a laptop. So I went and read the comments they were referring to and it was these comments - the one that said you could use an adapter. They specifically told me there were no adapters for this and then directed me to a comment that talks about adapter.When all said and done two tech support reps and and one supervisor had literally called me stupid! Even though I managed to find an adapter on my own, I'm still seriously considering returning this monitor and buying another dual monitor from another manufacturer simply because these people were so rude and clueless that I don't want to support their company.

1 side stopped working after 2 days. Waiting on seller's response. I got it for my wife for christmas and am very disapointed.
