Be forewarned
- Pros: Lots of cables, UGXA resolution. Great stand, built in USB hub. Good MVA, uses newer MVA type called AMVA. It has richer blacks than an S-IPS would. Still one of the better monitors even with an MVA. Good for gaming.
- Cons: You'll probably get an MVA panel. I got one and wasn't happy about it. If I could have returned it and gotten what I wanted I would have. It's a horrible trick to sell the same monitor and use two completely different panels in the monitor. Why else would you choose this monitor but for the display panel itself. It's like buying a BMW only to find you get a BMW body and an engine made by Kia or something. It's really lame of HP. Some notorious LCD's have 3 versions sold under the same model number.
- Other Thoughts: I'm not even technically reviewing the same product as all previous reviewers just to emphasize that. What I did get was still a good product though.
MVA is not like S-IPS. It has a color shifting you have to get used to. And because the angles are so sensitive the color from the same spot on the screen is a bit different to each eye which creates a reflective feel to everything. It's a great MVA, but for a quality UXGA in this price range with pivot... I don't see many other options.
Some might even prefer the AMVA panel in this to the S-IPS. If ordering this be prepared to like what you get!
Infinitely better than that other one
- Pros: INCREDIBLE viewing angle - like a CRT, pivots, solid construction. Very very happy with it. No dead pixels.
- Cons: Portrait mode looks bad without DVI (like how wrong resolution would look).
These are very minor - adjustment mechanism a bit stiff. Anti-glare a bit odd looking at first. Cable management a bit akward. No big deal.
- Other Thoughts: I bought the other 1600x1200 20.1" pivoting LCD first (not supposed to mention names in these comments) and it was horrible in comparison - terrible viewing angle. This monitor is incredible. The other one had me bobbing my head around like a parrot to see the dark parts of images. This one I can read it fine from the 4 feet to the side of the desk. Indispensable if two people viewing at the same time for this reason. I did some research and apparently the difference is this is an S-IPS panel and the other is a TN - 178 degrees is what signifies an S-IPS. Get it and you'll be happy - worth the extra $50 no question.

Good monitor
- Pros: * 20" + 1600x1200 = high pixels per inch = more detailed picture
* colors are noticeably richer as compared to my cheapish Hanns-G
* two inputs for use with two computers yet no KVM (KM?)
* 2 USB ports
* includes all cables
* heavy-duty highly adjustable stand
- Cons: * uhhh... can't think of any
- Other Thoughts: My monitor came with no dead/stuck pixels.. if there are any I can't see them.
I recommend this monitor for people who don't want or like widescreen (I don't see the appeal myself, I'd rather have more pixels per inch) and don't want to spend $1200 for a 'super professional quality' monitor. The color reproduction is noticeably better than every other LCD monitor I've seen - though I never have seen a super expensive monitor in action.
followup
- Pros: This is a followup on an earlier review. When these work well, they're fine.
- Cons: Got two for dual-monitor setup. After a little over a year one failed. HP replaced it, though it took an hour on the phone 'cause this monitor is classed as a "business" product so they send you to business division and then tell you you have no warranty, which you do.
First two were REV GSM002; replacement is GSM000; looks OK but picture doesn't match the other and there's intermittent coil whine.
- Other Thoughts: LCD monitor mkt doesn't seem to have changed much in last year and a half -- prices are if anything higher and no innovation. I would like something less power-hungry.
Best LCD I have ever purchased or seen.
- Pros: This is a wonderful monitor. No dead pixels and everything works great. I bought 2 and I am very happy with both of them.
- Cons: None at all.
