HP De-Branded 23-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor Review

Final Thoughts
This display proved to have some equally good points and some bad ones. For one it is a large display, 23-inches, full 1080p 1920 x 1080 resolution. So that is going to give you a lot of desktop space to work with. Also you have HDMI in so you are able to connect devices like Blu-ray players and game consoles to this display so it now becomes a multifunctional device not just a computer monitor. That makes it perfect for a dorm room.

I really did not like that stand on the display at all. It was not sturdy at all and could get quite annoying over time. Also there is a HDMI connection, but no HDMI cable included. If you are going to supply me with that connection why not include the cable as well?

When it comes down to it this display is a pretty basic display, no frills really. It does get the job done and is multifunctional. Geeks.com has this display for only $159.99 refurbished, which is a good price for a 23-inch display. Overall ThinkComputers gives the HP De-Branded 23-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor a 7 out of 10 score.

  1. This is the first time I've heard of a de-branded monitor. HP makes pretty good monitors, sorta confused why they would want to de-brand it; a lot of people will pay more for the name alone.

  2. HDMI cable missing?
    well I can't necessarily consider that a minus. It's simple math. For HP to include that cable means let's say if the cable were to cost 15$, 15x 1 mil units = 15 mil usd.
    I worked in a store for 3 years and I saw no TV, no DVD player nor LCD Monitor that has HDMI connectivity to actually have a HDMI cable included. There are many to consider here. Maybe for some people HDMI is not so important as they don't have anything to connect to it(I don't for ex) or some want longer cable..or better quality one..and so on…

  3. You say that colour reproduction on this monitor is “great” and this is the case for most monitors these days. Colour reproduction is actually a weakness in the majority of panels these days, especially TN panels. Whilst colours may be satisfying to the undiscerning eye, colour accuracy and hence reproduction is very rarely “great”. Accurate colours are the main reason some people will pay extra for an IPS panel which can be 3 or more times the price of an equivilent TN panel. Contrast on brightness on the other hand is a strength of many monitors these days, especially those with LED backlights. My the sounds of things this monitor is decent for the price, but you can get so much more for just a little extra spend.

  4. Hmm. . . Seems like just yesterday I was opening a Bluray player with HDMI and component out and it came packaged only with a composite cable. . .

  6. “So many people think that Computer Monitors are all the same,
    but really they are not. You cannot simply just go out a purchase a
    monitor and be done with it, especially if you have specific needs.
    Today we will be looking at a 23-inch widescreen monitor from Geeks.com
    which features 1920 x 1080 full HD resolution, a 5ms response time, HDMI
    input and integrated speakers. This display sells for just over $150,
    let’s see if it’s a good deal or not”
