Why don't you make this baby LED?

I plan to build a new PC in the first quarter of next year (2010). I've been buying the monitor since November. God this hurts so much. Yes, this HP W2338h and its brother 2509m are the best on the LCD market. I've spent hours at Staples to see what it's like on the eyes - amazing. And let me tell you guys, if you're looking for some really cool and rich picture quality, forget it - FORGET about the crappy Mate screens - even if it's 10,000,000:1 CR - it means nothing - the colors are in Dead…

HP widescreen monitor

I've had this product for a few weeks now and WOW I love it. It replaced another flat screen but the colors are much brighter on it. I haven't seen a movie or TV show yet, but I don't think there will be any disappointment. I really liked the widescreen, I'm very glad I bought it. At work, I sit at the computer most of the time. Text and images are much easier to see on this monitor for me. I highly recommend it if you are looking to buy or upgrade your monitor.

Stop working after about 80 days

Montior became empty after only 80 days from "buzz". Otherwise a very nice colour. Called HP customer support and agreed to send a new replacement free of charge.

The best computer monitor in the world

I love this monitor. It not only has an excellent image, but also looks beautiful and stylish in any room. The price was great and for what you get you can't go wrong. This time, HP has surpassed all other monitor manufacturers. Image clarity is excellent. Do yourself a favor and buy it. You will be proud of yourself.

Good monitor in my review

I've had it for a few years now and the picture quality has been and still looks great. I have this with another computer that was retired/dusted a long time ago. So while the PC was HP crap, the monitor exceeded my expectations. However, I see some negative feedback about the speakers. I rarely play audio on a monitor, which is probably why I'm happier with it than some of the other reviewers.

Fantastic monitor but highly reflective

I recently replaced a 19 inch flat screen Samsung with this monitor and it is fantastic. There are no dead pixels, it's bright, with good contrast and very clear from all viewing angles. I also like the widescreen format. 5 stars except the screen is so glossy that when I'm watching a movie for example and I cut into a dark scene I suddenly see my reflection in it. Now I see my reflection in the dark wallpaper. I have it on my desktop. I would say the reflectivity is similar to the bottom of a…

Vintage monitor but shows a great picture

Fast forward to covid19 and work from home in 2021/2022. I had several desktops with pre-Covid monitors but removed them all and left this monitor. I dusted off this monitor as it was on its way to goodwill due to disuse. I now use it as a second monitor for my laptop at home. Great picture, no flicker and allows me to extend my small laptop's screen with a Kensington device to connect everything (keyboard-mouse). The downside is that due to the old tech I can't connect anything else to it. The

  • Limited shelf life

The first one I got showed a pair of vertical lines in yellow and blue. HP replaced it under warranty. The replacement makes a loud buzzing noise when the image is displayed. The noise disappears when the computer goes into sleep mode. I don't use speakers. I called HP within a year of the original purchase. They said the warranty was expired. The support rep suggested that Revain is not an authorized reseller and therefore the warranty started from when Revain bought it from HP and not when I…

This is my second purchase of this monitor. I was so impressed with what I bought for my wife that I bought it for myself. The only complaint I have is the pathetic user documentation.

High quality, easy setup

This product is a great upgrade from the HP W1907. Aside from the obvious difference in size, the main difference is that they have HDMI and VGA inputs instead of DVI and VGA inputs. This device does not ship with an HDMI-DVI or VGA-DVI adapter. Setup is easy, screens are bright and consistent (I have 3) and menus work just like the HP W1907. They have a BrightView/Crystal View/TruLife Plasma TV screen, so they are not anti-glare, but their colors are rich. I prefer this finish over the usual…

I love this widescreen monitor

Wanting to free up desk space by replacing the 15 inch CRT monitor that came with the computer, I ended up spending a few dollars and buying a flat panel display. And again, Revain offered the best price! I was a little worried about the shipping. - but it was well packaged and arrived (very quickly) undamaged. Hats off to Revain!

I wrote this review for.

It was the best monitor when it came out, I even said it was ahead of its time simply because we live in 2011 and my 2008 monitor is up to date compared to the competition, especially at 1920x1200 .I would have given it 5 stars if this monitor hadn't helped me adjust my prescription lenses! I would have come very close to suing HP and I'm sure I would have won, but I didn't because it was partly my fault for not changing the color scheme right away, but what a serious one Mistake, all standard…

Excellent quality in my rating

I bought this monitor after reading many reviews. I connect it to my MacBook Pro and it's great. I'm in no way tech savvy (which is why I'm a Mac person) and it was very easy to connect. My MacBook Pro actually came with a DVI port or something, so I didn't have to buy anything. Someone mentioned speakers in the monitor but I've never noticed if they are. (non-techy again) I put my laptop in my computer's keyboard drawer and routed the cables through the back so it now looks like a sleek…

It's big and in Full HD

I hooked this up to my laptop with an HDMI cable, which allows the display to play Full HD and it's beautiful. The speakers don't have much bass and aren't very loud, but I didn't buy this product for the noise it makes. The picture is crystal clear and that's all I care about.

Ideal for Mac Mini

I bought this monitor for several reasons. It's great for the price. It has HDMI/VGA ports which are perfect for my Mac mini and allow me to use HDMI and upscale the display to HD. I do a lot of image and video editing and it helps that the colors are vibrant on this monitor and everything looks very sharp. The wide screen allows me to see more of my work. It looks very stylish and with its black finish and silver base, this monitor looks great on any desk. It can be wall mounted as there are…

My monitor has a line that runs across the top of the screen.

My monitor, which only lasted about 4 months, has a bar at the top of the screen. It doesn't show up on the print, but it's very poor for viewing my photos on the screen.

Such a beautiful monitor

This monitor is so good you won't want to work on anything else! It's a big screen with a rounded glossy black bezel and a smooth glossy finish, meaning it's a bit glaring when backlit. Many people involved in precision computer design do not like such monitors, a screen with a clear picture, this is a cat's meow. The built-in speakers aren't the loudest. So if you're a music or video lover, or work in a large or noisy environment, you'll need external speakers. The monitor can be tilted, but…

great monitor, but: in my review

I bought this monitor after doing some research but the reviews blew me away so I gave it a try. Connected and liked it. However, after about 40 days, a vertical red line appeared, stretching from the bottom of the screen all the way to the top. Called Amazon, customer service said they can't help me as it's been 30 days but they gave me HP tech support number. I thought I would find a call center in India and I was right. After talking to an Indian guy named Bob for 30 minutes, turning the…

I like good monitors

I just bought a pair of these monitors last Black Friday (2010) as I wanted the benefit of having two monitors to expand my desktop. These monitors are good at everything. They support Full HD 1080p resolution and have a very attractive overall design. You've got a set of rear speakers and with such a sparse layout, the volume has to be turned up higher than normal to be heard clearly. The glossy screen is too garish for my liking, as is the piano's black bezel. They can be tilted and…

Can't compare in my rating.

We've never had a flat screen (other than our laptop screens) and really enjoy our 23 inch monitor. Watching movies or playing video games is much more fun. As others have said, the speaker volume is not very good. , and if you connect external speakers, then in general it's excellent!
