What's great about it: Price and size
What's not so great: quality of construction
This is a great monitor for the price. The image quality is very high and crisp for everyday computing needs. I use it for work and it is perfect. Not sure how it would do for movie watching, but that's probably not the target market for this monitor. The only gripe I have (quality of construction) is that the monitor sags slightly on the right so that I had to put a little shim under it to level it. It was about a quarter inch off which is noticeable. Its fine other than that and for $100, you can't go wrong. Plugged right in and worked immediately. Again, great image not much to complain about. Oh, it does not have speakers but I don't need them.

What's great about it: Size
I don't know what an earlier reviewer meant about this monitor not holding settings when the pc was shutdown. I don't have any problem like that.
This is a great monitor with no problems after day one. I didn't give it 5 stars because I just got it.

What's great about it: good size for me
What's not so great: resets resolution when shutdown
Love this monitor for my desk, the perfect size. The only con I have is that the resolution changes everytime I shutdown the system. I use the recommended setting for resolution but when it's shutdown it comes back at a lower resolution that doesn't work well on this monitor. Unable to change this issue.

What's great about it: Size and price
What's not so great: I only have two of them
This HP S2031 is the right size at the right price. I had this same monitor on my principal use PC and a smaller monitor for my second PC for which the video flipped out. Had to have a replacement right away so checked out online retailers. Best Buy had this monitor on a very special price and would be delivered to my local store that day for me to pick up. Made the buy and pick up same day. So satisfied.

What's great about it: It was ready to go as soon as I plugged it in.
What's not so great: Nothing, it was great for the price.
I bought this monitor because I was looking at another one and this one was also on the page. I compared them, (including the prices) and found that this one was a better deal. I thought it was too good to pass up, and so far it has been. I have had it for a month with no problems. My kids use it for games, my wife for her presentations and I use it for everything.
