Newest HP 27 inch Full HD 1920 x 1080 LCD LED Display Business Monitor, Ultra-Wide 178° Angle Viewing, VGA & HDMI x 2, 10,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio (Black)

I dont know if I received a defective product or its the way it is, but mine had a terrible backlight bleed, the worst Ive seen in any monitor in my life. When the monitor was on in the dark, the screen was basically several patches of light coming off the edges - as opposed to an even and uniform illumination. When used in a lighted room, this monitor would reproduce pitch black colors as dark grey at best, maybe even light grey. I need to mention that I ordered this in winter and the package had spent some time in the cold. I dont know if it would cause something like that. I had to return this monitor immediately. Props to amazon for the full same-day refund. I went with Samsung and Im really happy with it. In my office, I also have a Dell monitor, which is amazingly sharp and vibrant (at the same resolution), but it has a very glossy screen. I was specifically looking for a matte screen for home due to the positioning of the windows in my house.

At first, I loved it - the slim profile, high tech look that displayed graphics from my pc very nicely. After about 5 months, it started acting up. The on screen menu would come on all by itself, and you could close it but it immediately returned. Found numerous similar complaints online and apparently replacing the control module would fix it. After not using it for a couple months, I tried it again and the menu probably seemed to gone away magically. Until about a week later and it returned. Additionally, for no reason the display would suddenly present a double image vertically, but still single horizontally. As if the vertical rate had switched to 120Hz with a 60Hz input. This condition would come at go at will, about every 2-3 minutes. Pulling the HDMI cable and re-inserting it would cause the monitor to re-lock correctly, and then 2 mins later right back to unusable. So, unfortunately its time to ditch this HP27er and go shopping for something more reliable. It wont say HP on it..

I bought this monitor about 8 months ago and initially had no complaints. I have used it with both Windows and Mac computers and the image quality has been acceptable for both. However, after about six months, the power and menu buttons on the bottom of the monitor have ceased to function. In order to power the monitor off I have to unplug it, and the menu options are now appearing erratically in the bottom right-hand corner of my screen. I recommend spending the extra 40 or 50 dollars to purchase a better quality screen.
