Fantastic history of Monitor
934652
Fantastic history of Monitor, the NBC weekend radio program from 1955 to 1975.

It brought back many, many memories of weekend radio listening in the car, going up to the Huntington, WV, area from Cincinnati and back to visit grandparents and other relatives.  Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons were when the car radio in our Mercury, Buick, or Oldsmobile wagons was tuned to WLW in Cincinnati.  I remember (and this book brought back vividly!) the Monitor announcers, the theme music, commercials of longtime sponsors, the comedians, the music, and so many other memories.  All these are interlaced with the wind in my face from the car window, the endlessly varied vistas of the beautiful Ohio River, warmth of a summer weekend, cornfields and tobacco fields, river shacks, towboats with large rafts of barges, N&W trains charging up and down the tracks along the river -- all now long gone.

If you remember Monitor, your other associated memories may be very different from mine.  However, Monitor in the background will come flooding back to you with this book, and your own happy memories with it, as you read this wonderful retrospective.

Great monitor, well worth every penny. Really beautiful crystal clear image and video viewing. Rating is for the product itself AND their customer support as well.  However the info that came with this is pretty sparse, hard to understand and well, quite frankly it sucks. Had to call up their customer support to figure out how to make it work. Customer support was fast, very friendly and very knowledgeable. I got through right away and after a brief 2 minute conversation I was up and running.

Wasn't cheap to buy, but man, up until I upgraded to the ZR2440w, it's been the most solid, reliable, crisp, color-accurate monitor I've ever bought. Actually, I bought two of these, a dual-monitor setup for my Mac.

Nowadays, the desktop monitor market is very competitive, price-wise, which seems to put HP at a bit of a disadvantage as its IPS panels are not lower-end . The main rival to me is LG, because of its generally good-quality panels. However, LG monitor construction is cheap compared to this monitor, and the HP totally outclasses it (& most rivals) with its feature set of video connectivity options,as well as multiple USB inputs.

This is a great product, design-wise, feature-wise, performance-wise and quality-wise.

Just bought a brand new one off eBay for about 375 bucks. Lovin it. Im getting rid of my original Dell FP17in. INterestingly, I am running both on a dual monitor card and the differences in clarity owing to the contract ratio are amazing. (I am cheating a bit because the old on is running off analog and this one has the DVI interface.)

I love the fact that it has a 4 port USB hub on the monitor, as that helps me from having to fumble behind the desktop.

Excellent reproduction of bright and dark colors. Love the fact that it can be rotated, but haven't really used the feature much.

Cons:

- Not really a fault of the monitor, but several applications cant really take advantage of the wide aspect ratio hence its a waste of white space at times.

Never thought Dell could make a decent cheap monitor to compete with Samsung, but they did it again.

Love It! Came with no dead pixels and gaming at a smooth 60fps in GTA 5.
Excellent, well built monitor with official Dell drivers that date 2013, while MS generic monitor driver (Win10.1607) latest included, dates back 2006.
Not a huge deal but seeing as most monitor manufacturers don't release official drivers, it's nice to have one and updated at that, while connected to my Zotac GTX 1070 AMP! Custom Hybrid.
Great Buy and highly recommended for whatever your needs.

This is a terrific monitor for daily computing work with lots of text reading. I work as a software developer and this monitor is great for everyday programming and web browsing.

I am very happy with this choice, I had not upgraded my monitors in several years and bought one of these to test before diving in to replace the other two I use.

Now all three have been replaced with this monitor and I have not been happier.

The monitor replaces two 24" monitors of different brands. The UM95 is so much better than my prior solution that there is no comparison! The screen is so crisp and clean with a beautiful wide view. I am no longer a heavy gamer, but I did try D3 out and while it was quite nice looking, it was a stretched screen display and not the pure 21:9 format. Ah well.

I mainly use my system for Light Room and Photoshop work with my Nikon cameras. It is a great monitor that helps to move me quickly through my work flow. Being able to split the screen is nice and I am still "split" on whether to just hotkey between preview and develop screens or window the displays down to have simultaneous editing and preview screens. It is nice to be spoiled! :-)

I have not noticed any dead pixels. As noted, the screen uniformity on intensity is lacking in the corners. It is not damaging to my workflow or play, just noticeable.

My first Sony Trinitron, then 19" Dell flat panel, then my 24" Dell were all hallmark monitors. Perhaps because this is my most recent monitor, I am most taken by it. However, the Wow! factor has not left me in 2 weeks of use. It is one of the best if not the best monitor!

Purchased this monitor a week ago for $572 on Amazon.  I also got an EVGA 1060 SC graphics card to take advantage of the monitor's native 1440 x 3340 resolution & Display Port connection (DP cable included with the LG).  This is the flat (not curved) version which I wanted because I use it for business, graphics design & Photoshop.

Next to the superb display, the biggest surprises were the stand and audio quality.  The stand (internally) is made from very heavy cast metal.  It's heaver than the stand that came with my 55" TV.  Fully adjustable height & tilt.

As for audio, most monitors have tinny weak sound.  This LG has very nice sound (be sure to turn up the bass in the menu).  It won't replace your living room stereo,  but don't splurge on external PC speakers until you try this out.

The ultra wide aspect ratio took about a week to get used to, but now I'm acclimated and loving it.  I spend a lot less time resizing and arranging windows, and Photoshop is a joy to use on this monitor.  Word Documents - view 2 full size pages side-by-side with no reduction in text size.  MS Excel - 42 columns x 45 rows with no reduction in text or cell size.

Hint: On a PC hold the Ctrl key when closing an applications window to insure it will reopen to the size you left it.  I set up my common apps to open to an ideal size this way.

I'm not a gamer so I can't give feedback on games, but video is amazing.

Screen brightness came set to 100.  That's a lot of photons hitting your eyes, so I cranked it down to 70.  However, the menu also has preset selections that set optimal brightness for various activities:  reading, gaming, photo editing, etc.

My only nitpick is I wish it came with 3 or 4 USB ports instead of 2.

Overall, the LG 34UM88C-P is an excellent monitor.

Fantastic Monitors for all types of work and viewing - not good for detailed cad/cam design due to the curvature. I use two of them with between 2 and three computers concurrently on occasion and can only do so because of the very flexible dell display manager software.

I am only using these for professional use.
And they have better warranties than any others.

I have been working with computing since the first computer came out. I have used about every type of screen available because I do a lot of computing work. I had three 27" monitors but as I am getting older I wanted something just a little bit better so bought this 32" to replace the middle monitor. Oh my gosh! Right out of the box, plugged it in and was not only amazed but absolutely astounded how great this is. I didn't have to change any of the Windows 7 software settings for the three monitor setup. It just worked. Color, brightness, even the stand is perfect for me. The price makes this a no brainer. Great job HP and thank you Amazon for carrying it.

I've had the monitor for a couple of weeks, and I've been very happy.

Pros
- No dead pixels.
- No obvious light bleed.  I'm a programmer, so artist eyes might see something different.
- Color uniformity looks good.  Same comment as above.
- The display is gorgeous and clear (I ran it both on Mac and Windows 10; no issues on either)
- Stand seems sturdy (once assembled), and it was easy to put the monitor in portrait or landscape.

Cons
- Cable connectors are in an odd place, especially since I'm using the display rotated.  Good thing I rarely have to plug and unplug.
- Included display port cable is almost too short to use; it would be ideal if it was a few inches longer for my setup, but that's what the after market for cables is for if I decide I really need those inches.
- I kept a couple of my old monitors as side monitors; they look so faded and blurry in comparison I'm likely going to have to replace them too!
- The stand can be fiddly to set up; I had issues finding the right spot to screw in the little screw to lock the monitor in place.

I'll update in the future if any issues develop.

Update: Was so happy with the original one that I replaced the two Dell 3007s I had as side monitors when I found this one on sale.  All three monitors are great quality, no dead pixels.  I don't see any color uniformity issues, but remember, programmer eyes here.  ;-)

I picked this up for Xmas for my boy, and I did examine options to see that it had a blacker black and a faster refresh, because it's used for FPS games.  The statistics don't do it justice.  This monitor is impressively more responsive and clearer than any of my previous LCDs.  I've had about eight from various manuf, and this is by far the best.  It doesn't have any usb ports, or speakers, but what I was buying was a monitor, not a peripheral, and this is the best, and it's less than the competition.  Highly recommended.

This is a must-have book for gaming enthusiasts!  It covers a very wide array of game consoles and explains the history of each.  The text is very well laid out in conjunction with the photos and provide ample information.  Brought back so many memories of the Atari 2600 and Commodore 64 computer I have, and well as showed consoles and computers I never knew existed.  Took me a long time to read it all and  definitely a worthy buy!

The least $ I ever spent for a computer monitor, yet it's likely the best monitor I've ever owed.  Runs cool, no heat.  Razor sharp resolution.  Worth every penny, and then some ( considering I spent $850 for a 24" Dell monitor 12 years ago, and it's nowhere near as good as this ).

We got this monitor thinking it would be a good second monitor for my son's set up, but we liked it so much that it became his primary.

Here are some of the highlights from the DellSE2146HX:
Images on screen are crisp and colorful
The menu system is well designed, with a ton of options, modes and even color filters
Really good wire management with a ring in the base
The base is really sturdy and has a relatively small footprint
Very easy assembly, 2 piece which snap together
Really good sleep mode and auto off when nothing is plugged in

The one downside of the monitor is that it takes only VGA and HDMI. There is NO DVI input on the monitor.

All In All an excellent monitor that delivers a lot for the money.

i got this monitor after trying the cornea MP704b, and envision screen, as well as a sceptre x7.  for the price (you need to hunt to get the best price on the web), this is the best i've found.  text is very sharp, graphics look gorgeous, and response time is fantastic.  wide viewing angles, too.  this is a very nice lcd monitor.  on the minus side, this does not have built in speakers (not a problem for most, since outboard speakers are generally better).  highly recommended.
