HP S2031 20-Inch Diagonal LCD Monitor - Black

I was kind of specticul in regards to purchaseing a PC Screen online, but I took my shot anyways and let me tell you it was easy, fast delivery, and the monitor was packed very well that it was hard for me to open! Once I took it out and replace my old monitor, I was in HEAVEN. THE PICTURE QUALITY IS CLEAR, BRIGHT AND AWESOME. I CAN ACTUALLY READ THE SCREEN. I WAS GIVEN A DATE OF DELIVERY AND IT CAME IN TWO DAYS INSTEAD OF 5 OR 6 DAYS AS ANTICIPATED.

I purchased this monitor to pair with a nearly 3-year-old Mac Mini and was somewhat concerned about compatibility because it is an HP product. Fortunately, there were no problems at all with it working with my Mac. I knew that this would not be the best display in the world in terms of color fidelity or flexibility, but was just looking for something very utilitarian and easy to look at for hours a day. For around $100, you can't expect the best, but I am very satisfied with the display. The controls are easy to understand so you can make adjustments to color, brightness and contrast intuitively and the widescreen very helpful in dealing with windows in browsers as well as multiple palettes in applications. It is lightweight so it is easy to move around on your desk if you need to. At 1600 x 900, it looks sharp and clear. At other resolutions (which are interpolated), it is somewhat blurry and stretched, but this is to be expected from an LCD, particularly a low end one. If you need to have clarity at other resolutions, you may want to look for something more expensive. The only somewhat negative points are that the light weight comes with somewhat flimsy feeling construction. Unless you tend to drop your display, this shouldn't be an issue. Also, it is very stiff when trying to adjust the tilt. I initially believed it was stuck, but it was just quite tight. I was a little concerned that forcing it to move would break something, but it wasn't a problem. All in all, this is a pretty solid budget display.

Arrived on time. In good shape. Worked as expected. Minimal damage to base, but unimportant to me as it is used in a commercial environment.

I bought this as a combo (monitor, tower, etc). I ended up liking the monitor so much, I got another. There are many, even larger screens, but this one just sort of has everything. There is literally not one complaint that I can make about this one. I originally had a four-monitor set-up - two of these, and two 23" ones (same manufacturer, just larger) - and these have outlasted all others I've used. They're just an overall excellent choice.

It worked until it didn't.

Set-up was simple. However, the quality of the text and coloring on screen appear washed-out and generally very poor. I called HP tech support and got a guy who was impossible to understant, then got disconnected after going through most of the adjustments with him that I had already performed. I am returning the product and definitely would not recommend this to anyone.

Wasn't the best

This product has a great screen but I wish I would have checked the details because it does not have sound. I have to get speakers separately. This will be my next purchase along with a new mouse. Will read the details and do the research before I do that. Otherwise, I like this product.
