> 3 dayUpdate: 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...

Greater than one weekI 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.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayThe picture quality is quite nice. A decent base gaming monitor. The screen has no bevels and breaks easily. Good midling grade monitor with FHD. Enjoyed monitor for approximately a year. This is an LCD monitor. I honestly didnt think that businesses bothered to make LCD monitors anymore since theyre so dated, costly, and environmentally unfriendly. Unfortunately its not stated anywhere in the description that its an LCD monitor or I honestly wouldnt have purchased it. My purchase ended up having deadly consequences. My cat, Bagheera, suddenly decided he really liked my monitor (after a year of using it) and bit the corner cracking the screen. A couple days later he became very ill and stopped eating. He lost 25% of his body mass. I never suspected the screen. I brought him to the vet and had tests run. The vet said that he developed jaundice from rapidly losing weight. She said the tests showed no underlying illness. She questioned if he had come into contact with any poisonous materials. Not knowing my monitor was LCD and knowing Bagheera lived in a highly controlled environment, I said no. She said the only other likely cause would be a congenital defect. Bagheera went downhill quickly and needed to be put to sleep. My friend ended up questioning if biting the screen hurt him. It then dawned on me that my monitor could possibly be an LCD. I knew the liquid layer of LCDs can contain around 30 toxic chemicals (including mercury). Turns out the monitor was an LCD. It was the only object in his limited environment that contained toxic substances. Which he also had contact with prior to illness. With LCDs being known to cause animal deaths and congenital defects more rare. Im inclined to believe it was the monitor that harmed Bagheera. In the end, it was a freak accident. No ones fault, except possibly my own. But I dont recommend pet owners risk it. You could be out a monitor, $500, and a loved companion.

> 3 dayI selected this monitor because it has both HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, (it also has VGA, but Ill never use it) has a stand that will rotate to 90, allows for VESA mounting without blocking inputs, is 24 diag. with small bezels, is 1920x1080, and is an established brand. It is all of these, no problem. What you also get is tool-free installation (nice to have even if you have plenty of tools), and cables! I expect a power cord with anything that uses power, but I did not expect an HDMI cable. It did not come with a DisplayPort cable, but I hooked one (of the two I bought) via miniDP, and a full-sized cable would have just gone into the parts pile. Six-foot HDMI cables are a great item to have laying around. It also came with an 1/8 stereo patch cable for analog audio. I saw the description about speakers, but didnt intend to use that feature. I didnt even hook up the cable. What surprised me was when the monitor I hooked up via HDMI started playing sound from the laptop. This feature does not seem to be mentioned anywhere in this product description, nor even in the user manual, but this thing does HDMI audio extraction! I havent yet tried, but I think you could hook up a Chromecast and get the full audio/video experience. That said, there does not seem to be much of an amplifier -- its not loud, even with the volume cranked all the way up on the PC (there is no on-monitor volume control). In any case, its a nice bonus. I didnt buy this thing for the speakers, but their presence doesnt bother me. The display portion of the monitor is fairly thin. The speakers do add a bit of girth, but no more than you would have from a similarly-featured (no audio) 24 monitor from a few years ago. Same goes for weight. I generally use Dell 24 monitors, and this HP model holds up well against the Dell models that are significantly more expensive (and have not dropped features like VESA mounting and 90 rotating base support). Bottom line: Im thrilled to get a high quality 24 1920x1080 monitor with VESA mounting, 90 rotating base, and both HDMI and DisplayPort, and even giddy about the included HDMI cable and speakers, all for $110.

> 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...

Greater than one weekI bought two of these, and they have been great. I like the input options, and that the monitors have speakers. Im no audiophile, so having simple speakers included in the monitors meant I could have one less item on my desk. I put these on the Mount it! dual VESA mount (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BW739D2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), which was super easy. The monitors came with a very nice, sturdy, flat-base (So you dont totally lose that desk space!!) stand, but I opted for the mount. The monitors also came with VESA screws already installed, so mounting them just required removal of the screws and reinstallation of the screws with the VESA mount plate. Also, I have been working from home, and had one these hooked up to both my personal computer and my work computer. Switching inputs was easy using the hard-key buttons hidden on the bottom-right of the monitor body. And as simple as it is, these came with an HDMI an power cable which were 6ft long each, which was nice. NOTE: The listing says 75hz refresh rate, but that is with DisplayPort cables. As I write this, these are running at 60hz on the included HDMI cables. This doesnt matter at all to me, because I dont play games on them, but FYI! I shop around pretty extensively before making purchases, and I feel confident that these are a good value (obviously, since I bought them). $110 for a brand-name, 1080p, 60/75hz IPS monitor with speakers, VESA mount-reay but comes with a good stand, and has good input options (HDMI, DP, or VGA). Now that Ive owned them for a few weeks, I would absolutely purchase them again next time.

> 3 dayLike many people, my wife has been working at home during the pandemic. Shes got a nice ThinkPad and I provided her with a Shure MV51 microphone to give her that big radio voice in Zoom meetings, and a USB Docking station (Plugable brand) which as the capability of dual 4K monitors, so I decided to buy this HP monitor to compliment the 10 year old 22 ASUS HDMI monitor she had been using. Well, I was totally blown away at how monitor technology has advanced. The resolution on the monitors is the same (1080p) but if you click on the photo, youll see that the black levels on the new monitor just blow the old one away. This is the reason why Plasma displays dominated high end TV for a while because LCD displays could not deliver the contrast ratios for home theater. Granted, if youre just working on an Excel spreadsheet, reading email or in a Zoom meeting, the difference doesnt matter much. But if you want to take a lunch break and watch a 20 minute episode of your favorite TV show on Hulu, the difference is obvious. I did not give this a rating for gaming, as this wasnt tested and its not a gaming monitor to begin with. Another nice feature is that it is height adjustable, so no more putting your monitor on a stack of books to raise it a couple of inches. I does have speakers that play through the HDMI input, but they are not as loud as a typical phone. The speakers are good enough for viewing a video or doing a Zoom meeting in a quiet environment, but thats about it. Because the border around the screen is so thin, expect any webcam to intrude a little on the top of the screen. It also uses a standard PC power cord and not a wall wart power supply. Many new monitors are moving towards this and I dont know if it is a blessing or a curse. The upside is that you can use a standard power cord and not have an external power power supply hanging under your desk. The downside is that if the power supply carps out, you cant replace it - you have it repaired (highly unlikely these days) or replace the entire monitor.
