    I just got this monitor and i must say it is indeed impressive! I got mine for a little bit more, $70 but that was with a just as old HP laptop dock, a brand new unpackaged hp keyboard and a laptop charger that was used for the HP Laptop dock. This monitor havent been used at all! The previous owner got it from work, plugged it in to his laptop and used it for only 34 hours! Basicly a brand new monitor!

    Thanks for this detailed review! I could really use a second monitor and didn't need anything crazy. Saw the 19" version on ebay for $35 (shipping included) and was wondering how it was. The fact that it has a height adjustment, tilt, and can even put it into portrait mode is amazing at this price. Definitely sold after this video.

    I'm about to buy 4 of these for 50 euro's. I already have some other HP models which I love (4 of them). Only downside: if all turned on they use 315 watts collectively. Right now there is a energy crisis here in Europe. These will use 140 watts collectively. This will save me around 35 euro's a month on energy costs. The dynamic dimming feature will be useful, my other screens don't have that feature.
    Thanks for the in depth review! It helped me a lot on deciding and convincing my girlfriend haha

    Just picked one of these up at SC State Surplus. May or may not work because they had rain get into the building overnight. It was one of the ones that got slightly wet. I just hope someone hadn't tried plugging it in before I got to it. Need to take it apart and let it dry for a couple of days. Only paid $10 for it and another monitor I was able to test. Totally worth the five dollar gamble.

      our thrift stores are more terrible the best thing you can get is a 5 year old printer or a typewriter from 1970. I hit the jackpot 3 times a year at least at thrift stores.
      its either that or you go to a second-hand store and get charged top dollar for second-hand goods which is basically how much it costed when the item came out.

    at 4:43 how do you go into that information menu? I've been going online to get a second monitor second hand and I've seen this monitor a few times now and it really is one I like a lot. Of course a lot of the sellers claim theirs hasn't been used a lot or is as good as new. So the checking of the light hours is really useful to double check. Also, at what amount can you say it really has been used a lot? Thank you, this video was very helpful.

      It depends on the game. I believe this monitor has a 5ms response time, which is not bad for most games. However, it you are really into fast action games. First person shooters like Battlefield and Call of Duty, you would do better with a monitor that has 2ms response time or less. That way you won't have to deal with ghosting, especially in dark places.
