HP - Pavilion 21.5" IPS LED HD Monitor - Black
HP - Pavilion 21.5" IPS LED HD Monitor - Black
HP 21.5" 22bw IPS LED HD Monitor: Unique software lets you view multiple windows at once so you can watch a video while typing up a document, or check several social media feeds at once. The monitor is large enough for watching movies and playing games, and works great as a second monitor.
 
Good monitor

What's great about it: clear display
What's not so great: bare bones manual
I purchased the HP 22bw monitor. Initially a Love-hate relationship. Worked great with the DVI input, looked terrible with an HDMI cable. Went to the store, no help excepting suggesting another brand. Read other user reviews about not working well with the Mini and felt disappointed. After searching the forums, found out that some monitors with HDMI inputs allow you to select "TV" or "Monitor" in the on-screen controls. The HP has a setting, visible only when connected via HDMI, to turn overscan (or was it underscan?) on or off. Turned it off and this did the trick! Gorgeous picture using the HDMI cable. That would have been helpful information in the manual (which I had to find on line). Decided to trade the 22bw for the 23bw inch and glad I did - perfect desktop monitor! Great value for a lot of display real estate. Both of these models are good bargains.
This product has... Attractive design, HDMI connection, sketchy manual
About me... Dual monitors user, Business Professional, mac user
I would recommend this to a friend!

HP 23" 23bw IPS LED HD Monitor: Great for using in a dual-monitor setup for multitasking, this monitor makes it easy to read e-mails, Facebook pages and your favorite websites. Movies and TV shows look sharp, and won't blur during important scenes.
 
Stellar monitor for the Mac Mini

What's great about it: Looks great!
What's not so great: Lack of knowledge at the store; Hard to track down the manual if you don't have a CD drive.
This HP 23bw is amazing, once you know how to set it for a Mac Mini. I initially purchased the 22bw. Love-hate relationship. Worked great with the DVI input, looked terrible with an HDMI cable. Went to the store, no help excepting suggesting another brand. Read other user reviews about not working well with the Mini and felt disappointed. After searching the forums, found out that some monitors with HDMI inputs allow you to select "TV" or "Monitor" in the on-screen controls. The HP has a setting, visible only when connected via HDMI, to turn overscan (or was it underscan?) on or off. Turned it off and this did the trick! Gorgeous picture using the HDMI cable. Decided to trade the 22bw for the 23" inch and glad I did - perfect desktop monitor! Great value for a lot of display real estate.
