When I replaced my old CRT with this flat screen monitor, the temperature in my home office went down 3 degrees! I didn't realize how much heat that old unit was generating. I keep a digital clock with date, plus indoor and outdoor temperature on my desk, so I was very aware of the instant change with the new monitor.

Of course, I like having more space on my desk, too, and more space on this generous screen for my various activities. As my eyes have gotten older, the mid-distance view can be troublesome, so being able to increase font size in various programs and still see the whole page, or multiple pages, really helps. I also like having my Google desktop sidebar active on the screen, which I can now do without compromising the space available for my other work.

All in all, I'm very pleased with this monitor. The colors are clear and bright, the focus is sharp and it's easily adjustable to personal preference. It's easy on the eyes and there is no noticeable flicker. I had to ratchet up my CRT to a very high refresh rate because I could see the flicker at lower rates, which made me feel queasy. I didn't have to adjust this monitor at all. I was almost eager for my CRT to give out because I wanted to upgrade to a flat panel monitor to gain more desk space, but if I'd known how much better this unit is in multiple ways, I'd have replaced that old power hog much sooner. Highly recommended.

I purchased another brand monitor and they were out of stock, so I chose this HP2009M 20" HD LCD Monitor instead and I am so glad I did. The picture is wonderful, the screen is large enough to have 2 pages up at the same time and it is beautiful. Thanks Amazon and HP for allowing me to get this one instead of the other monitor originally ordered. You are the greatest. I purchase quite a bit through Amazon.com and I have never been disappointed.

This screen is amazing! Even though I'm using a VGA output (my laptop lacks a DVI output), this screen gives crisp images and flawless compatibility with my HP Pavilion tx2000z (NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 video card). It provides a parking space for a keyboard, which really helps in conserving desk space. The speakers are great too.

I wish the speakers had more bass. The menu controls could have been better.

This HP 20 inch is great and it comes with all the cables needed, power, video, and audio. Having built in speakers is a great feature.

We have had this monitor for a couple of month's now and it is just great, A very crisp & clear screen & a wide screen at that! Don't know how I ever did with-out it. A great Monitor at a great price from amazon.com! Buy one, you'll be glad you did! >>George<<
