Perfect 10/10 would recommend

This monitor is exactly what I was searching for, and exceeded my expectations! To be fair, I was upgrading from a dinky little 18-inch monitor with not a lot of preference options, but nonetheless this one is amazing. The slim edges are perfect to grab another and have a near-seamless dual display. The height/tilt adjustment is easy as pie, and I look forward to being able to work at my desk while standing (without the help of expensive desk platforms). I'm also impressed by the quality of the screen and the 6 different viewing modes, which includes custom adjustments! I use my screen for gaming, movie watching, and photo-editing/graphic design, and I'd say that it is well-designed for all of them! When I say 10/10 would recommend, it's not for the sake of using a meme or being ironic, I truly mean it!

Very Nice Monitor, Color a Bit Dull and Lacks Depth

Bought this from Amazon two weeks ago. The HP VH240a is very good considering the price point, screensize, and height adjustment feature with speakers. However, at only 72% sRGB, it lacks color richness and depth. We bought at the same time a Dell S2418HX which is also 24" but has 99% sRGB with more vivid color, deeper depth, on screen control (to adjust the colors etc.) and much better speakers for about $40.00 more. The HP VH240a sold for only $109.99 sometimes. Highly recommend it if you don't care too much about the quality of the small built-in speakers and the somewhat dull colors. It was very well packaged and protected. Amazon mailed without extra protection.

Best bang for your buck

This monitor replaced a 10 year old Samsung LCD monitor. The crispness of this monitor is unbelievable. The small bezel adds to the attractiveness. Easy to put together and setup. People complaining about the colors being off. There's something called, screen calibration...look into it. I'm no photo editor or desktop publisher, so the monitor's colors were fine with me right out of the box. The built-in speakers are kind of weak, but come on. What are you expecting? Dolby 5.1 surround sound quality? The speakers are fine for basic sound. Overall I'm extremely pleased with this monitor and would by another in a heartbeat.

Great value with full HD, IPS panel, and full ergo adjustments

Was on the look out for larger monitor for my home office and for casual browsing and editing pictures. And did not want to pay more than $150. My requirements were full HD, 24-27 inch+, IPS panel for better viewing angles (instead of TN panel) and full height/tilt adjustments so my wife could adjust and easily use instead of having to adjust heights with books. I got the is for 109 (normal price is 129). At this price point this is such a great value and checked all the boxes for me. Screen quality was perfect for my needs and color reproduction was very decent. Build quality is very good and the stand feels sturdy and easy to adjust. Getting height adjustments and full HD+IPS panel at this price point feels like an excellent buy. Speakers are pretty tinny but that was not a consideration for me. (Make sure you increase the speaker volume to 100% through the monitor menu first and then control with computer volume control after that). Very happy with this purchase, highly recommend at this price.

My favorite monitor ever!

I am really picky with monitors and this totally fit the bill. I love the square base and the ability to change the height of the monitors as well as the rotation feature. Having the speakers in the monitor is a space saver. I don't have a large desk so I save space where I can. The image is super clear and the large screen is very nice. Everything functions exactly as described. Shipping was very quick and the monitors (I purchased 2) where packaged very securely for shipping.

Doesn't drop all the way down, fine for non-FPS gaming

I bought this because I was looking for an inexpensive IPS with an adjustable height for my height-challenged self, plus a decent response time and resolution for non-FPS gaming - this has the right specs for that. However, this one still leaves about 3" or 4" of clearance at the lowest possible height. I like adjustable monitors because I am super short, and I like to push them ALL the way down to the surface of the desk. You are supposed to line up your eyes with the top of the monitor for the best ergonomics, and if you are a short lady with a standard-sized desk that might be the thing to do. I have been gaming with it and I find it does well for that purpose (no FPS games, though - just Skyrim, etc. so if you aren't obsessed with getting a 2ms response time faster than the human eye can focus it is perfectly fine for all other games). This is my first IPS monitor and I think the colors are very nice. I also like the "night mode" that lets you give it a warm color so it won't mess up your sleep. I did notice some text items on my Windows 7 machine look fuzzy now, but others don't - I think maybe all my software isn't designed for 1080p resolutions, because which text looks fuzzy seems pretty random. Most of it is fine, though, and I expect it will get better with newer software. I plan on buying another one in spite of the height issue because it still goes fairly low for a cheap monitor, and most of the fully-adjustable ones look like crap for gaming. It's quite good for a price of $110. The bezel is almost non-existent so I think it would be great side-by-side with another monitor (for when I'm working from home and need to have like 10 different windows open at once). Now I just need to find a tiny ergonomic gaming keyboard with no number pad.

Perfect for work & multiple monitors!

This monitor is a great deal for the price and size. I use these for my office and cannot comment on performance for detailed graphics, etc -- for common work tasks, even HD video, these do a great job just as you'd expect. I love that the bezel around the monitor is very thin so if you use mulitple monitors, you can get them very close together. I am not using the provided stand as I have these on a swing-arm mount but I'm very happy with these monitors. Just make note - these do not have a Display Port input , only HDMI and VGA. I needed a Display Port to HDMI adapting cable which is a very cheap cost and I'm so pleased with this purchase!

perfect for office; almost fits for games; NO photographers

this is what i exactly expected. *pros*: 1. super easy install&setup +it's lightweight; 2. super easy menu (i saw complaints on that, i never unpacked instructions booklet from it's sealed bag so never read it, figured out everything in a minute, even less; there is an option to turn off power led -- that's pretty cool if you work in dark environment and don't want a light except from your screen); 3. height adjustment (+tilt and, of course, pivot may also be useful for somebody); 4. built-in speakers are not that bad (you just need to go to menu and increase volume), anyway they look more like a bonus for this monitor that a real part of a price; 5. it has hdmi in package to *cons*ider: 1. colors are poor, the only advantage of this ips is view angle; 2. it's slow (i mean it wakes up about 10 seconds); 3. it's fullhd; 4. it has great stand, if you are looking for monitor for your stand or arm, you'll better look something in the same price range, simpler leg and better picture quality (i think this is perfect monitor for office, it almost fits for enjoyment and it's definitely not for picture/video editing tasks)

Superb monitor

This laptop sits at just over 4 stars while some of the other similarly priced and comparable monitors from Spectre, Lenovo, and other brands hover around 4.5 stars. This gave me pause, but after looking through many of the 1-3 star reviews it was clear that the majority had harshly penalized the monitor due to its reportedly lackluster audio performance. My laptop has surprisingly decent sound so I could essentially care less about the monitor's speakers. Now if my laptop didn't sound good then I would have simply connected my laptop to my Bluetooth speaker, my old PC speakers, my blue tooth headphones, or hell even my surround sound if I felt so inclined. Those reviews are overly demanding imo. First Impression: Time spent from opening the box to having the monitor up and running was under 5 minutes. Well designed packaging and easy to put together - no screwdriver required. Came with both a HDMI and an Aux cord... ok cool I appreciate that but whatever. First glance of the monitor on my 38" x 24" desk and I'm satisfied with its footprint. The screen bezels are tiny which looks good and helps manage size. Another plus is how the base extends behind the screen as opposed to extruding in front which would take up valuable real estate in front of the monitor. The monitor and my laptop share the desk very well, and there is even generous room for an open notebook directly in front of the monitor. I'm glad that I went with a 23.8" monitor over something like a 20-22" as that last 1-3 inches makes a noticeable difference in screen size. The design and style of the product is very sleek and it looks great on my desk. It definitely doesn't advertise its modest price tag with its expensive and luxury appearance. Early performance: When I connected my laptop (a lightly upgraded Lenovo T440P Thinkpad, maybe a $400 laptop) via HDMI to the monitor I was met with a large snowy-owl staring at me (one of the photos that Windows cycles through before/during log-in). The picture was bright, edges were sharp, and the snow-white feathers of the owl looked like a true pure white. The contrast between the white of the owl, its dark eyes and the brown of the tree was great and everything looked realistic and accurate. After logging in I went into the Windows display settings and made a few simple adjustments on how I wanted the laptop to display to the monitor, it was very easy and intuitive to do. First thing I did was browse some HD Youtube videos (a Lord of the Rings fight scene, and Planet Earth) and I was immediately impressed. The screen kept up with the intense action/pace of the LotR fight without any lagging frames or stuttering. Planet Earth's tropical videos looked bright and accurately colorful while the following cave video was properly dark and intense with moments of brightness. Here the speed of some of the small critters gave the monitor a little bit of blurring, especially when the color of the animal was similar to the color of the background. I then switched over to Netflix, browsed a bit, and decided on Planet Earth again since the show has so many amazing spectacles to view. Everything looked just as great and in some cases even a little bit better. The speed of the animals didn't seem to blur as with youtube (note: I didn't watch the exact same video so this is highly anecdotal.) When it came to reading text and more general browsing of the web I was pleased. Letters had sharp corners, and the additional amount of text that fits on the screen vs my 14" laptop made for less scrolling. Happy with the video playback I rotated the monitor (set monitor to top height, grasp edges of screen, and twist it to the right) to portrait. The rotation felt smooth and solid. Boy does it make for a long screen, but I'm confident I will use it when working with long lists of data, programming, using Excel, etc. I am glad I will have the option. Weaknesses: As mentioned before the sound is definitely weak. The volume is low, audio sounds pretty "shallow", and there just isn't much to report there. In my mostly quiet apartment I could hear and understand the audio from the monitor, but it admittedly wasn't long before I reverted back to my laptop sound. Nonetheless having an at least usable audio option as a back-up is better than nothing. I will generally award more points to any item that exceeds the expectations of its main function than I will penalize a product for including an average to below-average "extra" that is not vital to performance. If my computer chair gave me a back massage I would be very pleasantly surprised, but if it had a lumpy seat, didn't spin smoothly, and was stuck at a certain height I wouldn't be so pleased. I'll choose the chair that I can be comfortable in for hours, spins effortlessly and noiselessly, and adjusts height easily. I can't speak to using the monitor for gaming and whether it can handle that demand as I don't have the gaming tech knowledge, the gaming experience, or even a game to test it with. Final Pros: Sleek aesthetic/design, stand rotates landscape-to-portrait, tiny bezels, good brightness, dark blacks, efficient footprint, simple and smooth tilt/height adjustments Final Cons: Weak speakers, minor blurring at times of very fast moving video. I highly recommend it!

Good monitor for my new MacBook Pro.

This is a Cadillac. I previously bought an LG to go with my MacBook Pro, and it didn't work, and was poorly made. After I returned it to best Buy, I purchased this HP, and the construction is better, and the price was acceptable. It works fine with the MacBook Pro, and I have it set up to mirror my desk top. I did not even have to download new drivers for it. It is also the correct height, so I didn't have to buy an additional monitor stand, so saved another $25.
