HP L2045W

HP's L2045W 20-inch LCD monitor is pretty sweet, with one minor caveat.

Fully ergo adjustable; USB ports; fine performer

Minor color-tracking imperfections

Being a professional model, the L2045w is not equipped with HDCP and thus, like the ViewSonic model, is unable to play copy-protected high-definition content, such as commercial HD DVD and Blu-ray discs, so take heed.

HP L2045W

If you work out of your home, once the workday is done you're free to kick back and watch a DVD or get in a few rounds of gaming on the same computer you were just using to plot spreadsheets. But unless you have a monitor that can handle moving images...

Good overall performance. Fully adjustable stand. Includes USB ports

Lacks A/V connections. Mediocre grayscale performance. Does not include USB cables

The HP L2045w is a versatile 20-inch widescreen display that is more than capable of handling your everyday office workload. It features a few business-friendly amenities but lacks multimedia connections beyond the usual DVI and analog ports.

HP L2045w

When HP released the 20.1″ L2045w widescreen LCD monitor, they categorized it as a business-level LCD monitor. This classification hints that the L2045w is a lower-spec monitor reserved for boring desk jobs and monotonous Office-suite use. HP is...

Affordable; USB 2.0 hub built-in; beautiful screen ; 5ms response rate; widescreen display

600:1 contrast ratio; wide footprint; DVI cable is not included

The L2045w is a worthy 20.1" LCD monitor for general use, office use and even for mid-level video use.

The "Rugged" version for the HP LCD monitor line

This LCD has a very stable stand/base. Nice pivot features with adjustments and good quality color display not to mention the USB hub. This seems to be a "Rugged" version for HP LCD's. I believe it would take someone picking this Monitor up and...

No problems

I've been using this monitor for about 2 years and have had no problems. Color and image are quality good. No flickering problems that the other reviewer mentioned having.

Excellant

If I had extra money, I would have two more of these.

Perfect right out of the box. I looked around a lot before buying it. I wanted one that had an an adjustable stand and they are getting harder to find. Perfect matte finish that matches my tower. Beautiful color,no glare and no dead pixels. It is perfect
