good model, I liked it

30 September 2017

My attitude towards products from such a well-known and honored brand as HP is twofold. On the one hand, I can say that this is almost always high-quality hardware, but on the other hand, I have come across examples of equipment from this brand with incredibly crooked and neglected drivers. I remember there was an HP 3470c scanner at work, which had a completely enormous proprietary scanning shell. It desperately slowed down even on computers that were powerful for its time and occasionally glitched. But the real epic fail was not this, but the fact that two years later another service pack for Windows was released and with its installation the shell stopped starting. Do you think HP has taken care of this issue and updated the software? Right now! (c) But I bought the monitor from HP without fear. Thank God, it doesn’t need drivers at all to work.

Ergonomics and design here are at a high level worthy of this brand. Everything is done strictly and in a businesslike manner. This monitor would look perfect in any modern office. It looks impressive at home too. The stand is powerful, metal, with tilts and even the ability to change the orientation of the display from portrait to landscape. The screen is huge, as much as 27 inches is an impressive area and with a resolution of 1920 by 1080, the individual dots of the matrix are quite large (>0.3mm). Some people will spit from such grain, but on the contrary, I like it. With my not very good eyesight, this screen fits perfectly. Everything is visible and you can sit at a decent distance from the screen. Color, brightness and contrast and viewing angles can only be praised. The IPS matrix installed here is good, and if we take into account the low price of the monitor, then we can say it’s excellent. There's a nice selection of digital and analogue ports for connecting to a PC.

Like any IPS there is a full set of standard “generic” disadvantages. Glow effect with yellowness on light colors and a purple tint on dark ones. Medium strength crystalline effect. Both shortcomings don’t bother me personally; you get used to them very quickly and after a week you don’t notice them at all.
