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

One of the best screens on the market, for a cheap price that it goes for. For a person who just has a laptop, and when ever i get back home i plug in my secondary monitor to do work on, or multitask, it is definitely bang for a buck. Why? For a person who does not edit photos, or look into image cleanliness or any other editing software too heavily, i believe this is a great choice. Would i recommend it? Absolutely! I might be a little bit different costumer for a product like this, because it is not a main screen, i tend to look at it 40% of the time im on my computer, but for a person who is using this as a main screen - go for it! And while youre at it, grab two! Why 4 stars then? No speakers. From an HDMI screen youd expect a speaker these days. No, i was not disappointed when i got it. I read the description and knew exactly what im getting, but its just that one small detail that lacks the perfect score. Mainly due to the fact, that my laptop comes equipped with weak and noisy speakers (in a bad way), thus making me resort to external audio sources.

Now I have 2 The screen size is perfect

I was a little disappointed in the monitors, although I guess for the price it was a decent bargain. The reason I wasnt so happy with them is due to three factors. First off, the AC/DC power supply for these monitors is not built into the monitor itself; its a fairly large external box. The DC section of the cord coming out of the box isnt long enough to reach from the floor to my desk, so they have to sit on my desk. I bought two of these monitors, so I have two roughly 2 x 4 boxes sitting side-by-side so about 4 x 4 of my desk is taken up by power supplies. Second, the stand for these monitors looks nice enough, but theyre very wobbly. When I type or bump the desk I can see them wobbling which is a little distracting. I have owned a lot of Dell monitors, and generally they have a very sturdy stand. Also I purchased them for dual monitor use, but the stand has the screen cocked at a slight angle, so when sitting next to each the edge of one screen was about 1/4 to 1/2 higher than the other. I stuffed a couple black plastic zip ties underneath the edge of each monitor to fix that. Annoying... And third, one of the two initial monitors I bought had a clearly visible area of the screen that was discolored. A plain white window would turn a very noticeable green hue toward the edge of the screen. Poor quality control. So these monitors are still a decent purchase, but if youre looking for high quality youre probably better off spending a little more money.

Cant beat it at this price point! The monitor works well. Does what its supposed to and designed to. This is not a gaming display with fast refresh rates and super black blacks. Its a desktop monitor. I plugged it in and my old computer recognized it and it all self-adjusted on reboot. Ill update if needed when I put it on my new i7, ssd m.2 3.0 build. I expect it will be fine. Im currently using the vga cable but my new build doesnt have a vga output. Ill be using the hdmi. I take 1 star off because of HP. They are nearly the worst at hiding bloat and spyware in their driver disks. For the novice computer user, you dont know until 3 months later when your system barely runs because HP spyware has zapped all your systems resources. Fortunately, with a monitor, theres no need to use their driver disk.

i read the reviews, some good some bad. for 99 dollars, i decided id try it out for myself. this is my 7th monitor and boy oh boy is that a clear crisp picture, it needs a bracket to be used on a multi monitor stand, i got one and its easy to use. if it lasts longer than a year, ill probably replace all my other monitors with this same model. well see. had it a few weeks now, and its been working perfectly. *Updated: 2-12-23 So, Ive had this monitor since 12-11-20 and its still working just as it did the first day I set it up. Have never had any issues with it. Its still a really nice monitor. The One thing I can say I dont like... is that I waited too long to get more at the same price. Was $99, but still worth it. Ya snooze, Ya lose

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.

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.

Keep in mind this is a $100 monitor. If you keep that price point in mind, this is a really good monitor. Dont expect a crystal-clear, high-quality, Apple-like monitor. I think Ive been spoiled by the clear, beautiful glass of my iMac and MacBook because this monitor came off as disappointing at first until I reminded myself that its very affordable. If youre looking to add a monitor to your setup and arent expecting a Retina Display, you will be happy with this monitor. It was really easy to set up and has a relatively thin profile. Im using it as an extra screen for my MacBook, and Im really happy to have all that extra desktop space now. I think the only other thing I was kind of surprised by was how low the monitor sits. It does have the mount that holds up the monitor, but its only about 3 inches tall. Compared to an iMacs monitor positioning, the HP seems really short. I havent critically viewed it for coloring, but with basic usage the coloring is fine. My final thought is I recommend the white model. It looks a lot nicer and cleaner than the black model. I got the black model and wish I had gotten white.

Ive had no trouble from this monitor for the last 5.5 years. I initially wanted one with a speaker, but found a tiny bluetooth substitute to quell that need going forward. Its been good for surfing and media watching. I have one small complaint. Now that Im looking for a second one to complete a dual monitor setup, I realize just how huge the border on this thing is. It will be distracting. I can overcome my annoyance, its just that. But why even bother putting a thin bezel if they were going to put a thick border? Im sure the technology was there to make it bezeless. I think they just wanted to make the monitor seem bigger than it actually was and save a few bucks on plastic. Ill deal with it to have a matching set. But yeah, a half inch border on a multi monitor setup is not particularly cool look when they are turned on and being used.

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.
