So on top of the HP Compaq Business Desktop dc5100 - P4 640 I'm using is this HP monitor, a very clear, vibrant display showing exactly what it should. But first lets talk about it's design.
A simple 17 inch monitor, HP logo in the top centre, "HP 7540" bottom centre and below that are 4 buttons. "MENU" on the right, - (left centre), + (right centre) and "SELECT". Further right is an led indicator and the on/off button. See simple, ordinary standard sort of a layout, nothing too confusing or hard to handle, and even PC newbies should be able to handle it fine.
The display is definately a step up from yesterdays monitor, which looked blurry and merged colours together (though it may have been due to someone messing around with the display rather than the monitor outright). The colours are how they are supposed to be, no blurriness just very clear images. This is how monitors were meant to be made I tell ya.
Though I did complain about one other thing in my review of the 5500 (COMPAQ monitor from yesterday) and the same should apply here for consistancy, the size still isn't what I personally would like. 19" Should really be standard by now, and sure it's meant as an office/study monitor but still, come on us students want better off our uni's, just as office workers want better off their companies.
HP are basically the one for customer support, with a brilliant website, brilliant phone support and their manuals as always are brilliantly detailed with clear information. HP seem to be one of the best for all that sort of stuff that I've come across in all my years of using computers (as I'm a bit of a geek I'd say at least 10 years of my life).
The installation is again incredibly simple, just mearly plug it in and get ready to go, theirs no monkey business or messing around. Which again supports the idea that hp are helpful to their customers.
The sleek design matches the machine it's sat on really really well, so I'm going to guess they were bought together (again this is a university library and I'm not 100% sure).
Summary-Very good, better than the 5500 in ever possible way.

A foray into the world of serious things is imminent, which should be enough to frighten you a little bit, really. I should probably give you fair warning that any of the stuff you want to find out, like networkability, print speed, memory capacity etc, more
