HP 24mh FHD Monitor - Computer Monitor with 23.8-Inch IPS Display (1080p) - Built-In Speakers and VESA Mounting - Height/Tilt Adjustment for Ergonomic Viewing - HDMI and DisplayPort - (1D0J9AA#ABA)

Update: replacement is working much but l better. Have been using it for a few weeks with no problems. Original review: Worked good for a month and then the screen would go black. Tried power cycling it and switching cables but nothing worked. Hp is sending a replacement but its 10 days out so I will have to pick up another monitor for work...

I bought one of these and connected it to my laptop running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. It worked very well until a vertical streak appeared on the screen (it was till usable but not very aesthetic). It was covered under warranty, and they shipped a box to put it in for shipping, and I didnt have to pay anything for repair or shipping, but of course there was time involved in dealing with HP Support, packing the monitor, etc. I assume the problem was a fluke, and I bought another one for my Windows 10 laptop. So far so good, as long as the 2nd monitor doesnt develop a problem. These monitors are the perfect size for my desk, and they make my job as a software consultant much easier.

Now that Ive been working from home, I absolutely needed a dual monitor setup. I dont know how we ever survived without them. Since I have a very small desk, I have my laptop next to this monitor on a laptop stand. Since they are right next to each other, the difference in the look of the screens and color temperatures drives me a bit nuts, but I have gotten used to it. The resolution or pixels on this monitor do not look as nice as on my laptop, but that is okay because I didnt want to spend an arm and a leg on a monitor. I do like that the stand this monitor sits on is sturdy and wide, even though my desk itself is very wobbly so it moves a lot but if I had a nicer more expensive and sturdy desk I imagine this monitor would never move. It was very easy to set up and does exactly what I needed it to do. I also like that it has speakers because they do feel louder than the speakers on my laptop. When this is plugged in, I cant get both speakers to work simultaneously or select which speakers I want, but I think that is just a setting I need to figure out. Again not a big deal. Overall, I recommend this monitor if you need an extra and dont want to spend too much!

Speakers aren’t working

The monitor arrived with minimal pictures re how to moubnt the monitor to the base. No instrructions or reference as to how to make any brightness adjustments or picture sizing etc. Amazon stepped up to the plate and providede contact info for HP support and followed up to make sure HP would respond. I called HP and basically was told they were not interested in providing support for making monirtor adjustments. The rep I talked to gave me a number to call in HP that would help for a fee. The tech did send a complete users guide via email. Why that was not at least for key adjustments wasnt included with the monitor is beyond me. This monitor is now in operastion and working fine. It replaced an veey old HP monitor that was very old , but had all the appropriate iinstructions/tips. Hard to believe that HP saved enough money , by not putting some o simple how to start and set up basuic operation instructions in the units packaging. I sent HP a long note re my disappointment/concerns. No response. Bottom line Amazon did all the right things re customer support. HP after my spending too much time talking to HP support provided a detailed user guide, very disappointing support and not even the courtesy of a note acknowledging my issues.

Nice monitor for work related. Has a built in blue light setting, which you can turn on or off.

And not even that little. :) Good picture as expected, Nice profile, doesn’t take up much square footage on my desk & works like a champ. Had to buy a webcam but that’s no big deal.

I had this monitor set up for about two weeks when it developed a darker/gray area in the lower left corner of the screen. It was just noticeably darker than the rest of the screen no matter what I did to the brightness. Unfortunately Id dragged my feet setting it up, so the return window had just expired and Amazon directed me to HP since it was under warranty, but assured me they would provide a refund if HP couldnt solve the problem. Spent 45 minutes on the phone with HP trouble shooting. Seemed to resolve the dark area, but in the process, managed to create a much bigger problem. The monitor would just black out entirely after 5-7 minutes regardless of whether I was using it or not. Whatever I had open on that screen would just get stuck there - it wouldnt come back to my laptop or my other external monitor unless I disconnected it. Went through the reset steps 3-4 times and got it back online, but was really frustrated. The fifth time, the monitor blacked out and wouldnt come back on at all except in super brief flashes when I unplugged and replugged the HDMI cable. 30 more minutes on the phone with HP - I have to send it back to them and hopefully will get a replacement in 2-3 weeks (4-6 business days after they receive the original monitor from me). I thought this would be a nice upgrade to get me a full dual monitor set-up alongside a very basic Acer monitor. Id by far recommend an Acer over this.

Perfect!

I like this monitor size. The stand easily adjusts the height and tilt and the monitor can be turned to portrait mode too.
