> 3 dayI am writing this review specifically for one major reason. Tech reviewers on YouTube and elsewhere are wont to tell you that a 27 1440p monitor is now the sweet spot and should now be the standard monitor size for work and gaming. A few will tell you they cant use anything less than a 32 monitor. Well, I have a 32 monitor and Ive tried a 27 monitor too. Actually I recently bought two 27 monitors, but I quickly returned them. My 32 monitor is in one of my bedrooms, and I use it every now and then. Is a 24 monitor big enough for work and play? YES. Plenty! Some folks use a 13 laptop for all their computer tasks. The biggest laptop in the world at this moment is the Acer Predator 21X, which has a curved 21 screen. So, everyone who uses a laptop for their computer tasks (and there a many, very many people who work this way), do so on computer screens less then a 24 monitor. As far as I know, there are no monitors at my place of work bigger than 24. In one Gadget Review article, Lawrence Bonk wrote, Professional gamers nearly always use 24-inch monitors instead of larger monitors. Before I go further, let me quickly say that a 24 1080p monitor may very well be the perfect size for any type of task you perform on a computer. It has plenty of screen real estate, and it is not overwhelming. Monitors of this size are cheaper too. A 24 monitor doesnt have much of the wasted spaces I found on my 27 1440p monitors. This 24 HP monitor has two built-in speakers (thank you, HP!). Yes, I often connect my PC via Bluetooth to my JBL Partybox 310, but I love that I have an option of using the speakers in my monitor. I did not like how texts appeared on my 27 1440p monitors. Because of the higher pixel density, the texts were smaller than they appeared on this HP monitor, forcing me to scale up text and picture sizes on the 27 monitors. Without even tweaking the settings on this 24 monitor, pictures and texts were just right. I also played some videos on both the 27 1440p monitor and this 24 1080p monitor. And frankly, the quality was either practically the same on both or even better on this 24 1080p monitor. I dont game. I use my computer for everyday, ordinary tasks (emails, study, paying bills, shopping, VoIP calls, video calls, video conferencing, work-related tasks, web surfing, playing music, and watching videos and movies). I can report confidently that not only is this 24 monitor adequate for these tasks, I also prefer this monitor to the 27 1440p monitor (which I have already returned). Presently, I use two of this 24 monitors in an Extend these displays, dual monitor setup. I love it, but just one monitor would have been adequate for my needs. Some bloggers are adamant that having three monitors is the best for productivity, but I found that to be counterproductive. Not only does a three-monitor setup require more desk space, it also becomes a distraction. I kept asking myself, What should I display on the third monitor? The third monitor was totally dispensable.

> 3 dayI bought 2 of these monitors for my home office/ gaming systems. I love the HDMI/ Displayport dual connections make it easy to switch inputs quickly and easily. The picture is clean and crisp. They are great monitors and live up to HPs reputation.

> 3 dayI was looking to get a 27-inch monitor, but my desk is not that big. I looked into several brands and this one caught my attention. I work from home. This monitor is the perfect size (not too big, not too small.) The video quality is pretty good. I use them to work from home. I like the contrast of the plate/grey color at the bottom. The sound of the speakers is decent, it sounds louder than my laptop. I was tempted to buy another 26-inch HP monitor. So, I was a bit apprehensive after I bought them, but once I installed them, I have not any regrets. Very happy with my decision.

> 3 daySet up originally using an HDMI cable and it worked flawlessly! Of course, one of the reasons I chose this monitor is because of the built-in speakers. Unfortunately, the speakers do NOT work with the HDMI cord plugged in. Originally, I thought the speakers just simply didn’t work. I contacted tech support and they had me try a different cord but never asked me about HDMI. So, although she was very nice, she had no idea what she was doing aside from reading a script. They need to add the HDMI issue their script. A note on the site itself might be a good idea as well. Anyway, she set up a return that I later cancelled (they never told UPS that I cancelled so he showed up for a return the next - actually, that was wrong as well since I couldn’t return it till the new one arrived - oh well...) Anyway, after I sat and thought about it for a while, I suspected that the HDMI carrying the audio signal thereby blocking it. So, I used the VGA connection. It works, but I had to significantly adjust the vertical setting on the monitor. Bottom line, the monitor is now fully functional including the speakers. The speakers sound pretty much like any other PC speakers although a tad louder, certainly loud enough for my use. I was able to tweak the sound a bit with the audio manager that came with the Lenovo computer. The point I deducted was for the tech support. I realize this is a new monitor but the people answering the phone should at least understand the technology even if they don’t know the item details. UPDATE 1: The monitor does NOT work well unless I use an HDMI cable, which I am now doing. So, I am back to external speakers. Basically, if I try to use anything other than an HDMI cable, the monitor cuts out (goes dark) frequently, although it does come back on again. BOTTOM LINE: I am not able to use the internal soeakers, perhaps you’ll have better luck...

> 3 dayJust got the HP 24mh yesterday, but it has impressed me so much I had to give a review now, but will edit if I run into any problems later. Very nice picture quality, and there are a lot of adjustments that can be made to make it more to your liking. The stand is awesome, best monitor stand Ive ever had. My last two monitors have been Asus, and was planning on getting another Asus, but I seen so many people saying how much they liked this HP, thought Id give it a try. My last monitor was a Asus vs239h-P 23 60mhz., which was a fine monitor and served me well, but was wanting something a little bigger with a 75mhz. refresh rate, and with a Displayport connector. I like the picture quality better on the HP 24mh than the Asus vs239h-P. I dont game much, but I tried a few gams, and it looked good to me, but Im sure a serious gamer would want something with higher refresh rates. They have a driver you can download for the HP 24mh at HPs website. Highly recommended! update: This is really an amazing monitor. If I get the settings just right and have a great source I can see images with this like Ive never seen before. Its that good! My past two Asus monitors were great for reliability, one I used for 4 years, and the one before that Ive had for 10 years, and still use it as a backup. Just hope the HP 24mh is this reliable. update: The built in speakers do a good job, not good for listening to music, but I never use a monitors built in speakers. Update 2-8-2023: Still a great monitor, and very glad I purchased it. For a great 1080p monitor look no further.

> 3 dayI have exactly what I need in these dual monitors. Picture quality, decent pricing, speakers for on-line meetings at work and the frame is what you expect from HP. If you prefer pretty over performance, but high-end monitors.

> 3 dayI had many monitors over the years, and recently Ive found that HP is making the best quality monitors for the price. I bought this one for my wifes online classes and she loves it. It is big enough for viewing a lot at the same time, but also small enough that she can move it around the house and use it on any table. I definitely recommend it.

> 3 dayI took a chance on this one. Turns out this is legit. A really high quality HP FHD Monitor. Delivered in original packaging with all items sealed in the manufactures packaging. I was highly impressed with this beautiful simple design. Amazing HD quality compared to my nearly 9 year old basic 20 inch monitor. Only downside is that this monitor was marketed and sold in European, Middle and Far Eastern countries. HP Website can not provide documentation and/or diagnostic assistance online. However, HP Website did allow me to Register the Product for a Free 1 Year Warranty, as promised on Amazon. I only gave 4 stars because of other issues not related to the quality of the monitor. This is a good buy. I have only used for a couple of days and I dont do gaming on PC only on my gaming consoles. But I do make videos and work in photography as a hobby, so this HP FHD was a smart decision price-wise and quality-wise. Will update any problems but I dont think there will be problems. Previously, I have received a lot of defective tech from Amazon Sellers. Seems most are selling returned items and/or refurbished. Almost all computer tech accessories purchased by my family on this site have had to be returned due to defects in the past couple of years.
