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)

Beautiful picture, and easy to set up. However, I purchased two of these, and they both have the same problem. When the screen wakes up from the screen saver, it has an unsightly purplish tint. The only way I have found to get rid of it is to unplug the monitor and plug it back in, which is very annoying. The monitors are being used as dual screens, and the hassle totally negates the convenience of having a second monitor. I do not recommend this product.

I had some issues with making this order happen because customer service wasn’t very nice to me but I am very happy with the monitor itself. Easy to hook up to my laptop (and it comes with an HDMI cable so I didn’t have to buy an extra), clear picture, larger than expected, and practical for me to use. I like to pair it with my laptop because it’s much easier for me to keep multiple tabs open, etc. I also don’t have a TV in my house (shocking, I know) so I use this in conjunction with my laptop to make the screen bigger for streaming video. It does not have its own speakers so you’ll have to rely on your laptop for that but the pictures itself are really strong. I also like that it has such a sleek look to it. Definitely appears much more expensive than it actually is.

I bought this monitor mainly because of its small physical dimensions. If it werent for the size limitations of my desk, I would have got a 4k display or gaming monitor. Pros: - Thin monitor, looks sleek - Screen resolution and quality was a bit better than I expected (comparing to normal Dell Desktop monitor you would probably use at work). - For the price, Id say its worth it. Cons: - Screen will often flicker when watching online videos. If youre planning to use this monitor for office, simple web browsing, viewing pictures, etc. this would be a good monitor. For entertainment purposes, not really.

monitor is great. text isnt the best but thats due to 1080p as max resolution. to get better resolution Id have to pay WAY more so I can deal with it since its not heavy work related. I do like that I can put two docs/browsers side by side to easily compare things with plenty of view. wide viewing angle is good. movies and such look fine. I dont do games so not comment there. overall for the price I paid Im happy with it.

I played around with the contrast, sharpness and other settings on the monitor and on my laptop for three hours to make this monitor work with my Macbook Pro. No matter what I did, the text always appeared blurry and gave me an instant headache. The preset settings for text are also atrocious. I need to read many hours each day and am returning this product. This product gets two stars; however, because the image quality was great and videos were crisp.

I use a MacBook Pro for digital editing, but Ive always resisted buying an Apple external monitor because, well, theyre ridiculously expensive and Im pathologically cheap! This new HP monitor is a brilliant compromise: while it doesnt have the stunning image quality of an Apple screen, its very good and perfectly usable, and its a thousand dollars less (Apple has recently stopped making their monitor.) I was able to hook it up instantly with my MBP - no drivers or software required... not that HP has provided any Mac software for it, all of the utilities for the monitor are Windows based. I was able to calibrate the 23er via the onboard control buttons just fine, no software necessary. The 1920x1080 image is very nice and fairly crisp. The colors and contrast are a little faded compared to the more robust MBP screen, but not enough for it to be a complaint for me. However, if you are a graphic designer it might lack the color accuracy and contrast that you require. Reading on it is absolutely no problem - most fonts are well rendered and none are at all pixellated. It does get a little wispy with black-on-white thin fonts like those in the Apple window menu bar, but not illegible, just a little thin. Ive included some photos that hopefully show the slight difference between the details on my MBP screen and this monitor. Also, in the color "Neutral" setting it skews a little warm. You can bring up the blue by changing the setting from Neutral to Cool, but Im finding I prefer the warmer setting - it seems a little easier on my eyes. In terms of its footprint and form factor, its every bit as slim and low profile as the Apple monitor. The only thing thats missing is the trademark Apple sleekness and designer-influence style - not worth an extra grand in my opinion. For the money this is the perfect monitor for general purpose work. PS - Writing reviews has become an accidental hobby for me, and it always makes my day to know that people find my reviews helpful (and if not, why.) Also, if you have any questions, clarifications, or comments please feel free to leave a comment below. I usually respond pretty quickly and almost always within 24 hours.

I have mine connected to my iMac as a second monitor. I had an older crappy monitor attached that was making me go blind. The HP was the best, reasonably priced high def device that I could find. We have two larger HP 22er monitors on other computers, so we have become fans of the line. I think my previous monitor was an acer. The acer lit up but was like reading a screen under murky water. The HP is perfect in comparison. The Acer went to the free stuff bin at my town dump. Update 1/24/18 After using this monitor for some time now I had to downgrade the rating by one star. While the image quality remains very high, the monitor continually requires a reset (power off and on) to negotiate the HDMI signal with my iMac. Not sure if this is an apple problem, a cable problem or a monitor problem but searching the inter web I have found quite a few complaints for the same behavior. Not a show stopper but quite annoying as it happens almost daily.

Clear crisp image, extremely thin monitor. looks space age. I checked it out at Best Buy first (frankly I wouldve bought it there, but the employees were so busy they ignored me and I was like "this is why Amazon is winning," and I walked out of the store and bought it here). I am using two monitors now, so I needed to buy an extra cable, but if you are just using one you just need an HDMI cable. Really a stunning monitor.

Just the thing I needed to save my sight while post processing photographs on my Surface Pro 3. While my Surface Pro 3 is a great device, the screen is sort of small when it comes to post photography photo processing. The HP 27er produces large clear images and its screen is matte so there is no glare, no eye strain. It works for me. I highly recommend.

27" monitor review - OK monitor for the price - Terrible for reading but probably fine for gaming and even photo editing. I am impressed by the design and overall it is visually appealing. Also has 2nd HDMI input which I appreciate for adding Roku, etc. Text has a slight grainy appearance that is driving me nuts reading word documents and PDFs so I am returning this. If I sit back 4-5 feet from the monitor it is much better but I bought this for my desk and I just simply cant stand it. Pros: happy with the overall color reproduction, good variety and number of inputs, and the plastic bezel is not as thick as I thought from the stock photo and the monitor actually looks better than the stock photo in my opinion. (the photo does represent the actual viewable area well - most of the black border is actually under the glass and blends into the screen well with a dark desktop background) Cons: Text is painful to read as a desktop monitor in the 27". I cant speak for the 23" but would imagine that would be much better.
