HP Compaq L2206tm Black 21.5" Optical Touchscreen Monitor 250 cd/m2 1000:1 Built-in Speakers

Pros: The monitor is bright and touch is responsive out of the box. I did not have to install any software for windows 8 and this monitor works pretty good with it. It is only 2 points of touch, but honestly I usually only use one. It comes with all the cords needed for the monitor which is not typical. The response time is great for gaming. The stand is far above average for monitors. It has a usb hub 2 ports and a stylus built in.

Cons: The bezel is not perfect for Windows 8, but it does not stop any of the swipe or charms from working as they should. No HDMI is kinda weird as I would rather have that than DVI or even displayport as DP is not needed for this resolution of monitor.

Other Thoughts: I would get this again as it is just a solid product and a good price. I have never had a bad HP monitor. Also I do not notice any real light bleed or other color problems with this product.

Pros: Very good touchscreen monitor.

Cons: Two problems. The first problem is not too serious, but is irritating. When first starting up, sometimes little stars pop in the right hand corner and along the right side. The stars are the same as the ones that appear when you touch the screen, except that no one is touching the screen. You can't do anything with the cursor until this stops, about one to two minutes.
Second problem is more serious. About once a day I get a blue screen of death (I have a brand new Cyberpower Windows 7 64-bit computer) which is caused by the monitor driver. It usually happens when I shut down. You'll get the 'shutting down' screen with the little blue spinning circle for about 5 minutes, then the blue screen appears and you have to force shut down. Sometimes, though, the blue screen happens in the middle of a game or application. The driver was last updated in May (I'm writing this in December). Unfortunately, I'm not seeing that HP has any plans to update the driver.

Other Thoughts: This is a very good monitor, but if I'd known I was going to have these issues, I'm not sure I would have bought.

Pros: I needed a touch screen display for some personal apps, this display did the job at a decent price. The size is fine for day to day use.

Cons: There is no HDMI port on the monitor, also while the display works with Windows 8 it is not "Windows 8 Certified"

Pros: Picture quality is very nice with no dead pixels. Brightness is how I like. No comment about the built-in speakers since I don't use them.

Cons: When it boots up it appears to malfunction and automatically register touches in various places along the right edge of the monitor, making it difficult to use my computer. If it doesn't go away after a minute or so, I can use the provided wipe and wipe over the affected area to take care of it, but the inconvenience still costs me an egg.

Other Thoughts: I'm not sure whether this goes as a con or whether this applies to touch monitors in general, so it's going here—it's pretty sensitive. It responds to a fly landing on my monitor and moving around. (Again, simple solution—shoo it away.

Pros: Touchscreen worked in Windows 8 right out of the box. Came with all cables, USB, VGA, DVI, HDMI, and power. Decent picture, not the best, but pretty good for a TS. Looks nice, up/down and tilt/spin adjustable stand.

Cons: I dont know if this is really a con for anyone, but it doesn't have a mount on the back for a Mini PC, the stand is bolted to the VESA mount, so I guess duct tape FTW!

Other Thoughts: I like it, get it for W8....

Pros: Awesome unit. Comes nicely packaged, easily setups up, clean screen with a dense glass to it so it won't scratch and/or crack easily and most importantly it actually works with little to no calibration out of the box.

Colors are great @ 1080p and the HP Monitor software is awesome for calibrating the perfect lighting conditions.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Being picky but since I am using it for a kiosk I wish the buttons would be tucked behind the monitor... haha. Other than that, nothing!

Pros: I've got to ammend my earlier review with the same title (the first review for this product) from 5 eggs to 3 eggs...

All the pros I mentioned before still stand.

Cons: After having this monitor for awhile I found there is problem with it waking from sleep state. Intermittently when my computer wakes up the monitor does not wake up as fast as the computer and the computer sets the resolution to the safe default of 640x480.

If I disable sleep mode on the monitor this does not occur.

It never happens on a cold boot or reboot - only from sleep mode.

I can reset the resolution by power cycling the monitor.

Went through HP for a replacement. The second monitor does the same thing. This is clearly a design issue not a manufacturing defect.

Note that my computer is an Intel I7 CPU with a SSD boot drive so it wakes up REALLY fast - I'm guessing more conventional setups don't experience this issue.

Other Thoughts: Mixed feelings about HP service...
1. Forget trying to use the web site and just call them. The product isn't registered properly so you can't create a ticket.
2. Note that if you do call this is considered a 'Commercial' monitor. Call the Commercial support line.
3. The service tech was great. Asked some obvious questions but ultimately with one phone call promised a replacement would be received in 24 to 48 business hours.
4. A week later, no monitor. Called again and the customer service rep acknowledged a hiccup in the ordering process - told me to call back Mon-Fri because she couldn't fix it. (Frankly, this is what irratated me and is costing them 1 egg. I had to take responsibility now for a glitch in their ordering system and follow up personally).
5. Once I called back they did overnight a new monitor which as stated above had the same problem. Total time to get the replacement - 16 days.
6. Within 3 day of having received the monitor I received 2 phone calls and an email warning that I hadn't returned the old monitor and they were going to have to charge me.

Pros: Looks like a typical ANSI compliant screw pattern on the back. Stock mount used tabs on top but typical screws on the bottom (see the flat side view photo). Any ANSI compliant mount will work. See if HP can confirm. Nothing about ANSI in the manual.

Cons: Requires HP confirmation (goog luck).

Pros: you can wall mount this there is a kit some where on the interwebs for it

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: I cant remebr where I saw it but some one makes a kit for it to be wall mounted

Pros: Looks great. Want to buy, but...

Cons: Can you wallmount this monitor?

Other Thoughts: If someone who owns this monitor could let me know if there are wall mount holes behind the included stand mount I would app it. HP, NE, product manual, photos here, nor other pre-purchase search (hour on phone with HP) was able to determine if so.
