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

I really like this monitor! Assembly was simple and easy. I like the fact that the power supply is not enclosed in to the monitor body. That allows the monitor to run cool and makes it easier to move it around. There are certain things that look much better on a photograph then they are in a real life. This monitor is not one of them. It is every bit as elegant as the best photo! I was a bit concerned that the stand may be flimsy but it is absolutely adequate and a very beautiful at the same time. This is my first monitor using an HDMI cable and I was really pleasantly surprised how easy it was to connect. If there is any room for criticism, it is regarding the manual. I am using Win 10 and at one point you are advised to go to HP support page and check for the newest software. When you get there, if you are not very careful, you may miss the warning that if you are using Win 10 and install the newest software version, you may use some functionality.. I did not bother to explore it further but kept the drivers that came on the CD. The colours are very nice and crisp and if you have a limited space available, this monitor is hard to beat.!

I’ve had this monitor for a couple of months and have the power cable and an HDMI cable plugged into it. Both of those ports have already seemed to loosen and if I bump the monitor just so, it cuts off/disconnects from my laptop. I just have to plug the cables back in and I’m back in business. Aside from that, it’s great. Screen is large and bright and clear.

I have had this for 2 years and some months. I have never had any issues with it, except that I cannot mount it on a dual monitor stand. but it was worth the purchase.

I needed a second monitor but could not afford a Mac monitor. I read all the reviews of this HP, and I knew I was going to get what I paid for. Actually I like the monitor because its the perfect size for my small studio, office. It is easier for me to edit my videos on, and works great when I use my MacBook Pro as a clam shell. Although HP says its not compatible with the Mac, it works fine for me. The only thing I did have to learn was to do a power refresh from time to time. The screen went black so I called Amazon customer support and they were fantastic. The gal explain to me exactly what I have to do if this happens again, it did and I did what she said and my monitor works great. The HP website upset me because it stated the incompatibility to Mac, but I have overcome that. Great value for the money, Which for so many is tight.

Got to admit, I had my doubts but awesome monitor, easy on the eyes like they say. Make sure you do all the colors and calibration. Absolutely must use install with this monitor. Otherwise default drivers off center a little... with the install, you will love the control you have on this backlit monitor. This was my first so-called back lit monitor, I had no idea... however, what I found its like this. Did you ever have poor lighting like I do with no overhead lights in your house and you eyes hurt a bit? Well I do and I have to put the lights stand up ones all over the place to get best view. Well, with the backlit, you get it from behind as well, hurts less on the eyes. I think I got it and I think HP has something here. Not sure they have this on touch monitors. I have those I bought for $400 and more and they are nice but this is easy on the eyes. Dont be fooled by the cheap price, its high quality, really is.

Great value for the price. It is quite helpful that you can switch between the VGA and HDMI inputs using either software or the second button on the front right underside next to the power button. This monitor has very good contrast of darks and lights, easy to set up (angle it before attaching the cables), and has roughly a 60 degree viewing angle (30 degrees on either side of dead center) in which the picture remains sharp and clear, so people sitting off center or next to the main user will still see a crisp accurate picture. Its very light but also very stable. UPDATE: Not good value. It has been 2 months since purchase. The screen now produces stray dark lines from top to bottom. It is not the cable connection. If you pinch the black plastic frame around the screen glass just below the dark line, the dark line disappears temporarily until you stop pinching below it. Unfortunate that this monitor didnt last beyond 2 months of limited use. No longer consider this a good value at all. 2ND UPDATE: manufacturer wants credit card info (through chat) to replace the defective monitor still under warranty - instead of providing means to ship it back (like a shipping label so you know you arent getting charged hidden fees) before getting the replacement. It reads too much like a cc scam so not worth it.

The monitor has excellent clarity, brightness, etc. The size is just right for my needs, big enough to read but not so big it takes up a lot of desk space. The resolution is what I need it to be. There are two things I dont like about it. Firstly, the monitor attaches to the base which then rests on the desk. There is something about this construction which causes the monitor to ever-so-slightly bounce when I type. It becomes more noticeable if I bump the desk. Im not saying it is loose and all over the place, but it does move, just a little, but enough to catch my attention from time to time. I wish it were a bit more sturdy in that respect. My other monitors do not do this. The second thing is not the monitors fault, its my own for not more carefully reading the specs, but I wish this monitor also had a DVI port. It has the vintage analog VGA port and an HDMI port. While HDMI is the darling of electronics and a good choice for a digital port due to its ubiquity for many computers, laptops, and consumer electronics, an optional DVI port would be a great addition. I have a device that is DVI-only, so Ive resorted to Plan B for that one. Oh well. Still, all in all Im very pleased with it.

I guarantee 90% of these negative reviews are results of user error. Every component of this monitor is flawless. I havent had a single problem and Ive had it for almost a year now, an Ive been using it with 2 different computers. Its very fast, the color is ridiculously vibrant, its very clear and sharp. And this monitor actually looks very nice. Its ultra thin, and has a very nice and sturdy stand. In my opinion, monitors with big, bulky stands just stick out like a sore thumb. For all you gamers, if youre budget is tight, this monitor still works well. I used it for gaming for a while and while it was crystal clear, this monitor is only 60hz, so it wasnt as fast as I had hoped. If you have a higher budget, Id advise looking elsewhere. Anyone who is into editing, designing or any other computer related job, I would totally recommend this display. Im an editor, and I use premiere. Anyone who uses premiere would know that there are like 4 different work spaces on the screen itself. This monitor displays them all perfectly. Also, its almost completely borderless. Watching YouTube videos on it, for example, is great because it fills up the entire screen. Who wouldnt want that? Like I said before, if youre looking for a great monitor, but have a low budget, you should stop searching, because you have just found it.

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.

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.
