HP 23.8 LED Backlit Monitor, low blue light (V241ib, Black)

Issues picking up HDMI

Great for home office

These are perfect budget options for extending or duplicating displays for work. The image is a little too sharp out of the box for the default resolution for reading text but adjusting to soft in the monitors display settings corrects that. Adjusting the brightness did not have any adverse effects on color tint or saturation (even with using blue light filtering glasses, i.e. yellow tint).

The first one I got didnt work at all. One of colors was not functioning. The replacement works really well. I have had it for a few months now and it is very easy on the eyes and have had no problems whatsoever with it. The colors are nice and clear not too bright or too dark. It has been perfect for my desktop and I can tilt it up or down which is nice.

It makes working much easier on my eyes and is a perfect extension of my tiny laptop screen.

So far, no complaints whatsoever. One thing I need to mention, I read the power supply plug is flaky. I thought the same thing, but you must really push it in to seat it. If your power cord seems loose and makes intermittent contact, try really seating it past the point of initial resistance. Color adjustment pre settings are not very useful save for the night reading setting. Your best bet is to custom mix the RGB channels manually at around 200 for each channel. Monitor adjustment is simple as the button functions appear on screen above each button. Blacks are nice and dark with little or no shadowing or pixelation. If you are a hard-core gamer, you may want to go another direction, but for most other functions and for the $130.00 price, you would be hard pressed to find a better monitor.
