HP Pavilion 22cwa 21.5-Inch Full HD 1080p IPS LED Monitor, Tilt, VGA and HDMI (T4Q59AA) - Black

Love this monitor. I purchased it for working from home, Ive found that the resolution, brightness, and picture quality are phenomenal. The HDMI connection is virtually instantaneous when I turn on my laptop. My only gripe is that it doesnt always shut off when I put my laptop to sleep, but the power button is super convenient and reliable so its not really an issue. Would definitely recommend, especially for the price.

When I purchased the first monitor, it was sleek and priced so great, I went ahead and purchased another one shortly after so that I could have matching dual monitors. They have been running smoothly for a year. The only issue I ever ran into was that I couldnt mount them at all (the back is not setup to mount). Anyway, I still loved them. I have my textbooks in a stand over my computer desk and yesterday a BOOK fell as I was trying to grab it and it hit the monitor..... This was by no means a crazy blow. Anyway - monitor went a funny color with lines instantly. Then after many, many disconnects/reconnects and wobbling of every cable - I touched the monitor screen and the lines would change. Clearly the screen was damaged internally somehow. If this had been a crushing blow to the device, I would not be as frustrated because it would be understandable, but this was just.... a book falling and hitting it as it fell. The hardware is way, way too delicate. Unfortunately - you get what you pay for? I want matching dual monitors and these are pretty sleek as long as they work, so I put another one in my cart to buy - but then I just couldnt bring myself to buy it, because now I know if anything touches it wrong, the monitor will die. Its abnormally fragile. Sad and frustrating.

Absolute steal for the price **EDIT: 12/13/18** Wow its been a year since I bought it! Im keeping this review 5 stars. This monitor is still going strong, and makes my other monitor look like crap. Im really obsessive about them looking the same, and I had to turn the brightness and contrast on the HP down a lot to make it look even close (why would I do that though) I believe LTT did a video on this monitor... they found that the actual panel is similar if not the same as the one that was used previously on the 21.5 inch iMacs. If thats true... well you gotta know this panel is good if APPLE uses it. In terms of durability Im not concerned at all. The heavy power brick has tugged on the power port a bunch of times (I know, I let it fall, Im bad) and its still as strong as ever. The only real downside is the back acquires some dust, but thats super easy to clean so I wont fault it. Overall, awesome deal! Recommended to friends!

When watching twitch or any video, if any browser was not maximized, then you tried to maximize it, the screen would flicker black for a fraction of a second. Turn off hardware acceleration in google chrome settings and its completely fixed for this monitor. You can maximize and un-maximize all you want and theres no flicker anymore. This is not an issue on my main monitor. Also colors look slightly different compared to my more expensive monitor thats AOC and $50 more. However if you edit the brightness to 85, and put the Black stretch off. and tinker with the contract and RGB a bit (I used the TEXT preset color settings, then messed with the RGB a bit - it can look similar to your main expensive monitor. Either way its a definite upgrade from my old non-IPS panel monitor.

This is a great monitor for anyone that in need of a second display to work from home, or for any student looking to improve their productivity while doing homework. I bought this monitor for those exact purposes; so far, I have found this monitor to have excellent build quality, superb display capabilities, and connectivity that is very user friendly. Build Quality This monitor has excellent build quality. From the stand to the monitor itself, it looks and feels like high quality materials were very important to the team that designed it. Assembly required no hardware, and consisted of putting the (two piece) stand together and attaching that to the display. The stand is not height adjustable, but that isn’t really a problem because it already puts the monitor at a comfortable viewing height. Even though the stand design is very simplistic you have no need to worry about the display falling or tipping over. This monitor was definitely built to last. Display As stated in the product overview this monitor has a 1920x1080 resolution, which is by no means stunning, but it is still capable of displaying pictures and video in HD. What is really cool about this monitor is what HP calls, IPS technology. Basically, the technology enables the display to have stunning 178° viewing angle while still being able to view high quality colors. That way you can show a group of people what you’re doing on your screen, in high quality, without them having to breathe down your neck. One thing missing from this monitor are integrated speakers, but at this price point you aren’t going to find many, if any at all, that do. Plus, if you are buying this monitor for the same purpose I did you should already have integrated speakers in your laptop. Connectivity Connectivity and power for this monitor are very simple and versatile. The power cord is standard to that of most electronic devices, and plugs into the back of the monitor. This monitor has the capability to connect to other displays with either VGA or HDMI. It comes with a VGA cable, but my laptop only has HDMI capabilities. Luckily you can pick up and HDMI Cable for about five to ten dollars at a place like Walmart or Target. Plus, if you’re like me now you have an extra VGA cable to carry around if the time ever comes that you may need one. Conclusion For the price, this monitor has to be one of the best deals you can find out there. With easy assembly, excellent build quality, a cutting-edge display, and versatile connectivity, there really isn’t much more you can ask for. I hope you found this review helpful in making your decision for purchasing a new monitor.

Friend said picture and quality were fine. Shipped on time.

I read plenty of reviews saying mine went bad in one year! or something similar to this nature. So my brother bought one. He loved the color upgrade and how crisp/sharp this monitor looked with his new customer gaming desktop. After one year, no issues. So I bought one. Again another year went by, no issues. So I bought a second one for myself (three screen setup, my laptop is on the left) as well as one for my fiancée. Its been over a year since the last two monitors have been bought and all of our monitors are still going strong. Ive always used HP monitors (my last one is still working in my mothers office after buying it in 2010) and never had a problem so I can only assume there must have been delivery issues or factory issues out the gate for those select bunch who have faulty monitors. As for the monitor itself, the colors can be adjusted and there are multiple 1-click settings (cinematic, gaming, etc) to automatically change the look. I love playing League or watching Crunchyroll on these monitors. The colors are nearly comparable to my Samsung TV. Is this monitor going to suck you into some virtual 4K world where everything is perfect? Of course not. Thats what $200+ models are for. But for less than $100 bucks, you really cannot go wrong with this monitor, as evident of our 4 purchases.

I really like this monitor. The design is really sharp, modern and clean. The picture and colors are great, the IPS panel makes viewing angles wide and the stand is adjustable. An HDMI input on the back is a plus, and for a $100 monitor, there isnt really anything else a person could ask for. However, there is one small gripe I had about this, until I forcibly corrected it. The monitor stand was crooked out of the box, and therefore the screen leaned to the left about a quarter of an inch. That was really pretty disappointing and honestly prevented me from enjoying it as much as I could. What I did to fix it was put my palm on the stand and then pull up with maybe 25 lb of force to bend the pins of the stand to the right position to make the monitor level. Although it was annoying, I doubt that every monitor they make is crooked and it probably wont happen to you. That being said, beware of the possibility that you might need to put your workout clothes on if you are as picky as I am.

Im writing this review using this monitor. It works just fine. You have to finish constructing the monitor onto its stand. And, the manufacturers image that shows on Amazon indicates the package includes a HDMI Cable. It in fact, does not. It only includes a VGA Cable. The monitor is capable of supporting either; which is nice. There is a little wear on the monitor on the top corners... The screen itself; not the casing...very tiny dots that most people might not notice. The monitor itself is great for the price. It does allow you to tilt it at different angles. However, you cannot raise or lower it...I mean, you could, with the help of a book or box or something to sit it on. But, the fact you cant adjust the height hasnt caused me an issue. It also has a choice of picture settings. You can adjust the monitor picture settings to what you need for optimal viewing for any room or lighting. It defaults to a picture setting labeled Low Blue Light; this setting seems fine for regular computer work. I have ordered a second one of these to extend my desktop to two monitors; I did have to purchase a USB multi-monitor adapter for this which is normal if your PC doesnt already have the multi-monitor capability.

My monitor was delivered with care. I bought this monitor because I work from home and needed a second screen. When it arrived I was surprised because it’s bigger than I thought it would be. Easy instructions, easy to put together. I was hesitant to buy looking at older reviews but I’m glad I went with my first mind because honestly you can’t beat the price and it is great quality. It is a brand new monitor not used. Please pay attention to newer reviews.
