*********************** To see the video go to: youtube . com / mpaluba ************************ Update 3/18/13: I bought this for $118 almost 2 months ago. Its now only $90. Get it before the price goes up again! I bought this monitor to accompany my purchase of a Mac Mini (my first Apple product). It came with a VGA in/out cable, but also has a DVI input. Unfortunately for me, the Mac Mini has an HDMI to DVI converter, and no VGA input, so I had to delay my Mac Mini kick off party one day ;) As for the monitor itself, the screen quality is great. For under $120, this is the best deal on Amazon - the only monitor in this price range with built in speakers, which was a must have for me. I didnt expect to get BOSE quality speakers. A lot of reviewers say they are bad, but they are not - they lack in power but Im satisfied with their clarity & quality. When it comes to the speaker connection to the Mac Mini, I can only control the volume from the Mac Mini desktop - whenever I click the up or down volume button on the monitor, the screen times out & tells me to "Check Video Cable." Im fine with that, though, because I can still control the volume. Overall, this monitor is very sleek, easy to assemble, and the position of the screen CAN be adjusted (contrary to the review titled "Lacks Tilt"). It serves its purpose well. I love walking into my room & seeing it on my desk. It looks so nice! -Im very happy that I decided to get this. Buy it for yourself!

Great monitor, great price! This HP W2082a 20 inch LED monitor is a great replacement to any computer system used for workstations or light to medium media work. good control of contrasts, brightness and settings as well as color calibration if needed. We were sold on the fact that these have both VGA and DVI connectivity as we run numerous stations with multiple monitors. Love it and were going to buy 4 more!

Do not buy this monitor. I use this monitor for work. Actually, I use three of them lined up. Ive gone through about 7 of them over the past 2 years. This last one was hooked up just one week ago and its already bad. What happens is that the words or the icons (whatever is on the screen) starts to show double. Eventually it will get worse and go mostly black. I keep having to order them and then work reimburses me. When they die, I have no time to spare and order them quickly. Today Im switching to another. Its not the case that one bad one got through. They ALL have this problem.

I bought this on the Amazon thanksgiving week sales and have no regrets for the price. I bought it as a screen extension to my DJ laptop to allow me to monitor Traktor2 from it as I dont like the smaller screen that comes with any laptop. It is certainly apparent from taking it out from the box that it is not the most expensive monitor but asthetics asides it performs well enough and gets the job done. Its screen is bright and clear , looks good in native and has a good refresh rate for those of you who may use it to play games or watch videos. I am well pleased with this buy and more so considering the price I got it for.....you would not be able to buy a used 20 inch monitor of this quality for the price I paid. Well done Amazon, I bought a few things on the sale week and none have disappointed....apart from the ones I was too late to buy! The five starts have been given not for overall performance, but for the overall performance at the price.

Got this for my mother. No complaints other than I was never able to have the speakers in the monitor work AND use external speakers at the same time. So I unplugged the ones in the monitor. They did not get loud enough for her 80-year-old ears to hear things. When I bought it, I didn’t even know it was going to have sound anyway!

I received the monitor on November 25, 2016. Since it was purchased as a replacement for a monitor that was completely dead, I immediately took it out of the box and hooked it up to the desktop computer. Im not savvy on the specs of things like this but I can say that for the past 2 months, it has worked exactly like I expected it to. The picture is nice and clear, it was easy to hook up and it has worked just fine so far. If anything changes, Ill definitely come back and update. For what I paid for the monitor, Im extremely pleased.

I had an HP monitor with sound but it wouldnt handle the new Windows 10 software graphics requirements. Definitely wanted a monitor with sound and this seemed to have good reviews. It is far less sturdy than my original flat-screen hp monitor and the speaker sound is very "tin-ny". Havent had it long enough to determine if it provides good graphics but can report more later.

Nice clear and crisp picture. Speakers were not very loud and sounded "tinny". Maybe needed some adjustment to get more bass but it was for a friend so I didnt explore very far. Overall I would buy it again.

Good colors and quality image. I bought it to replace another model a certain shipping company apparently dropped kicked during transit. I wish the HDMI and power plugs were a bit higher up or easier to get to, but nothing worthing commenting about (even though I just did).
