...user here at work of HP products nowadays. The reasoning behind this is we need reliability and quality of service and products. We want a good product that is robust enough to last the test of time with the staff! So while I was giving my IT team and developers were a huge screen resolution to maximise their working space, I opted for the little brother equivalent for the general office floor. After all, screen size is a little less important and ...
...even compliments the new DC7700 HP Pcs we have just purchased. In fact it is an identical copy of the L1906 I have already reviewed but with 2 inches less to view! This screen is very responsive and has excellent refresh rates and depth of colour. This is equally at home in the office for diplaying presentations and general work or for lightning quick action games at home. It also offers a terrific crisp and clear picture and the screen delivers ... Read review

Advantages: flexible, dust free, good picture quality
Disadvantages: possibly extra expenditure

I have been using this monitor for the last 8 months and i must say that i have been very impressed by it. Although i have only used 3 other monitors before i can say that is definitely the best i have come across. Firstly the good things: well, unlike my laptop and monitor at home this one does not seem to be a dust magnet meaning that at work i very rarely have to wipe down the screen and the picture on screen remains dust free. The size of the ...
...and size of the housing. The screen is 19in which compared to my smaller laptop of 17in and by huge desktop which is 22in is ideal, it doesn't take up too much space but is perfect for viewing smaller print and doing intricate designs. The housing is also a good size and unlike traditional monitors it takes up very little space n my desk. One of my favourite features of this monitor is its 'flexible' base, which allows it to be moved to face all ... Read review

Hmm.. the HP L1940T Flat screen monitor.... Well, I recently got upgraded to XP at work, so we decided to treat ourselves to a new flat screen, to save a lot of space on our desk! I've got to say that the screen has made a huge impact. First of all, it's bigger, then the fact it takes up less room, plus it has it's own intergrated speakers- Which is brilliant! as the sound on my computer comes out of the stack, which is kept under the desk. I don't ...
...but I would happily pay 200 for it. The monitor also moves up and down and back and forth so you can position it wherever is best for you. It also has a handy little stand where you can place all your cuddly toys on!! There are several buttons on the front where you can change the settings, and a volume dial. It's plug and play too, just take your old monitor away and plug this new one straight in- it couldn't be more easy! This product is definetly ... Read review
