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

Big but not oversized, clear and crisp monitor. Light and easy to set up. Fits every where specially on small desks while still enjoying a large screen. Dropped a star because of the brick transformer. A world brand like HP by now could do better. Delivered way earlier then expected and even made it safe on oversees trip because of the good packaging. Recommended.

I am not one to write reviews but bought this monitor afraid that it would not work with my MacBook due to many of the comments but being a cheaper and nicer looking monitor I decided to risk it. I hooked it up with a HDMI and the lightening 3 adaptor, turned on the power and immediately it was showing my macs screen - I am not sure where people are having issues with connecting these to MacBooks given that I did nothing but plug it in (didnt even have to use the software disc that came with it)

Been using this bad boy for a couple months now and I have to say for the money you will not find a better overall monitor. I play a lot of online games, some with fast reaction times like CS:GO and Warframe and even though this has a slightly slower response time of 8ms compared to non-IPS panels in the same price bracket, I noticed no ghosting or clipping while playing. The ms rating is pretty vague anyway as the processing between the panel and your video card have a lot to do with latency. The color is pretty good, nice and vivid with an excellent viewing angle, which is a key hallmark of an IPS panel. The brightness and contrast are more than acceptable as well. Blacks have a little bit of back light bleed through, but at this price point its not enough to complain about. On the hardware of the panel itself, its quite lovely to look at. Its slim with a nice thin bezel and an interesting base. Be aware however there are no vertical adjustments and there is about half an inch around the edge of the bezel that the screen does not extend to. It took me a while to adjust this as I kept wanting the image to go all the way to the edge, but after a while you dont notice it anymore. Overall this monitor is excellent for $100 (or less if you catch it on sale). Unless you get an incredible deal you wont find a competing panel at this price.

I am beyond pleased with this monitor. I am a bit of a monitor snob - that is to say, I get spoiled at work with myriad monitors and other fun electronics. So, after looking around and seeing some reviews, I decided to go with the HP Pavillion. I will say, before it arrived, I was nervous. Had I made a good purchase? The price is what scared me the most - no way that something good could be priced so cheaply. When it arrived, and even before plugging it in, I know I had made the right choice. It is a solid piece of workmanship, from the beveled back to the gorgeous flat, front of the monitor. I was so pleased, and I hadnt even plugged it in yet! Upon plugging it in, I was absolutely happy with my purchase. The colors are vibrant, the blacks and true blacks, and the whites are true white (no lingering blue tint). There is also a very easy to use control panel under the power button that includes very intuitive tweaking of the four or so profiles they offer you to use. I have had this monitor for nearly six months now and it is still going on strong. I do believe I will be buying another one to set up a dual-monitor work-space. Id give this monitor more stars if I could! With the gorgeous image it projects, along with the incredible price point, I consider this to be THE top of the tier for those looking for similar monitors from other manufacturers.

I bought one in 2018 before college and used it as a duo monitor with my old Dell monitor. It is now 2022 and I am out of college and now its time to replace my old Dell monitor... surely buying the same model 4 years later is a good sign!

This is coming from the perspective of someone who games and occasionally does image and video editing. Pros: - Standard widescreen (16:9) aspect ratio. - Standard zoom, this was my second monitors and compared to other cheap monitors Ive gotten my hands on, this one wasnt deceptive. (Some would be a similar size but be zoomed in so you wouldnt actually get as much screen real estate.) - Great horizontal viewing angles. Theres a sweet spot, but the image is generally good as far as you go. - Good color reproduction. I dont know anything about the fine details of color accuracy in monitors, but it seems pretty accurate out of the box. Cons: - Awful vertical viewing angles, such a small viewing angle. At least all that happens is that the image gets a bit dark, which is better than other effects Ive seen, but the angle is crazy narrow. Possible compatibility issues: - Cables go out the back instead of the bottom. This is probably more standard among thinner monitors, but take note of the extra space that your cables will take up behind the monitor. - No VESA mounting option. Youre using the included stand, period. The things it gets right are all things I care about, the compatibility issues are pretty minimal for casual use, my main gripe is with the vertical viewing angle, its bad enough to lower my rating to 4 stars, but from my (very limited) experience, I think Im happy with what I got for what I paid.

Is this a stunning, perfect display? No, not really. But it is perfect as a low-cost secondary display for a laptop. I work from home frequently, and my little laptop screen wasnt cutting it to connect to the bigger dual-monitor display setup I have on my desk at work. I needed something that was fairly inexpensive, but would be easy on the eyes when Im coding for work. I bought it along with a VESA adapter and a mounting arm, because I like to put my secondary displays in portrait mode, and the stand it comes with doesnt do that. Color and resolution seem pretty good. The back light is nice. Theres a tiny bit of light bleed around the edge of mine, but I use it in a fully lit room during daytime hours, so its not bothersome. I do wish that the place you put the VESA adapter or stand was more centered, because the monitor is a little wobbly, even on the arm I have it mounted on. Otherwise, its a solid monitor considering I only paid $100 for it. If youre looking for some fancy display for watching high definition movies and playing games, maybe this isnt it. But if you need a second or third monitor for internet browsing / writing code / basic stuff, this is a good choice.

I am ecstatic about this purchase for several reasons. I havent had a new monitor at home for several years, and they have come a long way since my last, 15-inch, square, LCD Samsung. Im not knocking the Samsung monitor; it was great when new, but now its just rather old, tired and dull. I did quite a lot of research before buying. My employer reimburses up to $75 for a home monitor to use for days when we work from home, so I wanted to come as close as possible to that price. I also wanted to step up in size to a maximum of 22 inches (to fit into the monitor recess of my bureau). Additionally, I had hoped to get an LED rather than LCD monitor. For inputs, I wanted VGA to use with my old desktop which doesnt have HDMI, plus HDMI to use with my work laptop. Since I hadnt been in the market for a monitor for a long time, I wasnt sure if I was asking too much. Well, I whittled the many possible choices I found down to this HP and an Asus with nearly identical specs. The Asus was priced $10 higher, but offered a $10 mail-in rebate. Well, I hate mail-in rebates, and I couldnt see me actually getting around to mailing it in and waiting 8 weeks for a $10 check that I would then have to take in to the bank to deposit. So I chose the HP - and, boy was I glad I did! I am so happy with this monitor! First of all, it fit perfectly in the space that was waiting for it, thanks to accurate measurements given in the product details in amazon.com. For setup, I thought I would be in for the usual new computer equipment nightmares where nothing works at first, then you have to jump through hoops, download drivers, reboot umpteen times, go back to the manual to find out what you did wrong, find out that the manual is only on disc but now you cant read it because your new monitor isnt working yet, yadayadayada... But no, setup was a breeze! I was done in about 15 minutes, the monitor worked first time on both my old desktop with VGA and new laptop with HDMI. There was one slight glitch that the initial picture was stretched sideways on the VGA connection to my old desktop, but after I installed the software from the supplied disc it worked fine. The picture via the HDMI connection from the new laptop worked perfectly first time, with no need to install anything. As for switching between VGA and HDMI, you just press a button on the underside of the frame. The picture is great, for my needs, at least. Bright and crisp, with no evident lag when running videos. As another reviewer put it perfectly: Is this a stunning, perfect display? No, not really. But it is perfect as a low-cost secondary display for a laptop.. I totally agree with that. My needs are average, I just only use it for work and for an occasional change from my personal laptop to look at a bigger screen to watch a video or something. I mentioned the accuracy of the stated product dimensions earlier. Well, there was one thing that confused me a bit. At the top left on the amazon.com page the bottom image is a silhouette of a person standing at a desk with the monitor in front of him. There is a vertical measurement shown there of 20 in/49 cm. I assumed this to be the height with the stand (thinking that the height in the Technical Details was without the stand). I thought this would be a problem, as I only had about 19 in vertical height where I wanted to site it. Well, when it arrived, there was no problem, as the assembled unit with the stand is, in fact, 15.8 in, not 20 in, so Im not sure what that 20 in in the silhouetted man picture represents. This monitor is an outstanding value and I have no hesitation in recommending it!

A good modern PC monitor at a good price. I chose this model for several reasons - full HD resolution, non touch-screen (meaning it will stay clean), 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, the black color (I dont care for white/silver electronics), perfect size for my deskspace, IPS, its reasonable sub 100$ tag, LED Backlighting, Energy Star Certified, and of course the HDMI port!! That was a must have feature for me, as my PC also sports HDMI. This replaced a 20 LCD monitor (VGA) I have had since 2007. What a great monitor this is! This is my first HP monitor and I must say I am impressed. I was surprised at how much lighter it is in comparison to my old monitor. Setup was easy just a few minutes. The HD picture quality of this using HDMI is so clear. I also dig the attractive slim (screen fronted) bezel design and thin side profile. Glad it doesnt have some light bleeding issues like Ive read some other monitors have. That would be unacceptable to me as I do also watch movies on it in a dark room. No dead or stuck pixels thankfully. A BIG thx to HP for putting a way to turn off the very bright power button in the settings. It does suck that HP includes an (outdated) VGA cable and not an HDMI -dont be so cheap HP -spend the additional 20 cents for bulk HDMIs. Sure you can spend more $$ and go bigger (albeit w no resolution increase), however for the price you cant go wrong w the 22. I would recommend it. 5 stars baby! Thx also to amazon for the free fast shipping

The power cord on one of the two screens I ordered came in damaged. It still works but I rather get new stuff when I believe I am ordering new things.
