No significant complaints so far. If I had to come up with one, it would be its weight. While not a deal breaker, the monitor shakes a bit as I move things on my desk. Not terribly heavy or stable.

What's great about it: Sleek finish, easy on the eyes to see and to work with all day.
What's not so great: I'm not picky.
This is not the sleek, reflective screen I thought I wanted, but now think it's the better choice for my office situation. It was super-easy to install, with adequate choice of hook-up needs right in the box. I am running XP with no down-side.

What's great about it: This monitor was a good price and is perfect for a dual monitor for my laptop. Set up was almost automatic.
This monitor works well as a dual monitor for my laptop. The screen is very easy on the eyes and no glare. I am regularly on call at home and I use this for hours at a time during long night time sessions.

What's great about it: It is east to set up, and start going.
What's not so great: It does not have an adaptor or HMDI cord for sound
I am still trying to learn all about this monitor. I love the size and clarity.
Wish it had the adaptor or HDMI cable for the sound. I had to use my old speakers with it. It still sounds good!

What's great about it: 1920x1080, LED
I use it as a second monitor attached to my macbook pro for editing HD video. Also great for working on multiple program windows. I spend hours editing code and using graphics programs and the monitor does not give me eye strain or fatigue. Sharpness of text and details are excellent. Actually looks better than my laptop screen. I wish it was higher than 60Hz but I'm not getting fatigue like my 60Hz lcd at work.

I purchased two of these monitors and am doubly pleased with them. I am using a NVIDIA GeForce Gtx 550 Ti graphics card with dual DVI to HDMI convertors and 13.0/gbs HDMI cables. The crispness and clarity of the picture is amazing with all the built in picture settings and the ability to customize your own.

What's not so great: Issues after a few months
I've had this monitor for 5 months and it was decent until it started acting up. Turned on my PC and all I got was a bright white screen. I turned off, unplugged monitor and when I plugged it back in all I had was a bright white screen. Went on HP website to trouble shoot problem and couldn't fix issue. I found a blog online regarding the same issue other users encountered with this monitor and the 2 solutions were turn the upside down or hit the back of the monitor. Hitting the back of monitor worked for me, I called HP support to report the issue and they tried telling me the issue was with my tower, after 20 minutes I told them I wanted escalated support and again the person tried to convince me it was my tower. After telling the guy if it is the tower why does the image come back when I hit the back of the monitor? He finally said fine it seems to be an issue with monitor so we'll replace it since it's within 1 year or purchasing. Waiting on my replacement now.
So if you buy this monitor and encounter same issue don't let HP tell you anything different, monitor is faulty and it's a known issue with this monitor.

What's great about it: picture quality, size
What's not so great: no speakers, no installation instructions
picture quality is FANTASTIC, easy to use but installation is a pain; the instructions that come with the monitor explain it one way, ONLY USING PICTURES, THERE ARE NO WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS WHICH CAUSES CONFUSION; the instructions that come with the pc that generally goes with this monitor tells you a completely different way to install the monitor. Quite honestly, I don't know if I have it hooked up 100 % correctly or not but it works.

What's great about it: Display on VGA is fine
What's not so great: 2 in a row with major problems
Bought the HP 2311-x last week. 1st one was dead out of the box - no power. Just exchanged it today and plugged it in - this one had power but would not recognize input on HDMI. Tried 2 HDMI cables that work fine on other devices and tried it on 2 computers - one desktop and one laptop - still won't recognize the HDMI. VGA input works fine, but it's back to the store for a refund this time. 2 strikes and you're out HP. Kind of surprised based on the good reviews this monitor has received. Maybe I got stuck with 2 lemons, but it tells me quality on this model must be sketchy.

What's great about it: Great image quality, and easy on screen adjustments
What's not so great: The power light is a steady blue light and was distracting, but you can turn it off using the on-screen settings.
Have a dual monitor setup at home, and needed a secondary monitor for my laptop. This monitor fit the bill. The picture quality is bright and crisp. I usually have two windows open side by side, and this works great. Its perfect for viewing two page documents side-by-side, and programming where you need the extra real estate on the right and left edges of the screen. Overall, very satisfied with this monitor. Would recommend.
