Confusing....HP 2009m and HP2159m: Can someone who has either of this monitor tells me which one should I pick??
1681498
I'm leaning towards the 2159M for the following reasons: Max Resolution 2009M = 1600 x 900 2159M = 1920 x 1080 Pixel Pitch: 2009M = 0.277mm 2159M = 0.248mm Connectors: 2009M = D-Sub, DVI-D 2159M = D-Sub, DVI, HDMI Bottom line, for a bit for cash there's a sizable increase in real estate with the increase in resolution. I'd check em out in person first [should be able to find them all at Best Buy right now]. And I was considering the 2009M until I did see them side by side and realized the 2159M was the better selection [for me]. Hope this helps.

If you have an USB port then you can add this device to setup a dual monitor with HP all in one. Check the port and see if it's USB3.0 (blue connector in the center of the port), if not, then it's USB2.0 and it will probably run choppier with videos.

Kind of sorry to hear that you won't be our guinea pig. :) I understand why you would chicken out.Honestly, I am one of the minority of IT people I know who actually likes Vista. Still, there has been a lot of backlash about Vista. I suspect Windows XP will be around a lot longer than MS wanted. Only time will tell.In any case, you must have Vista check out that HP 2133. *****As another side note, I am curious if you were leaning towards this MSI Wind for the larger screen? Or did you not know about the new HP model?Toshiba and Sony have some small models too, although I've only seen high end ones. Don't know if they make ones comparable to this one.Soon, all the companies will have versions of them.

AmazonAddict is right, this monitor is a TFT display- I was looking at a different model with my earlier answer. We should all be glad for his tact and ever-so-helpful advice when he spots an error here. :-)

They told me that the boards are either refurbished or pulled out of units that didn't sell. The one they sent me worked for about 5 minutes before it crashed. I could never get the laptop to stay running with it so I sent it back. I ended up buying a new laptop and scrapped the hp, which sucked because those were expensive computers when they were new. As far as whether it will work in your model, you can probably e-mail the sell with that question if you're still interested. They were okay to work with and were willing to refund my money.

Kurt, the HP monitor you purchased is a very poorly made, substandard product. If you have an option of returning for a refund, I would suggest that you do so and then buy a Samsung, LG, or other quality branded monitor. Good luck.

"The desktop I'm connecting this monitor to does not have an HDMI port"Then what ports does your desktop have, a DVI-D port? Great, the HP monitor has a DVI-D port too! Just use the DVI-D cable that is supplied in the box with the monitor and you should be good to go.

Yes, I returned Dell S2415H because the text is not black, gray, gives me a headache because I use it reading news, stock quote. I use the multimedia screen on this monitor and doesn't give me a headache. Compared with my Qnix2710 which is 1440p, I prefer this benq for reading and multimedia use. I returned hp 25xi because of flicker, gives me a headache too.

You have me confused with someone else. I do not own an HP Pavilion. Sorry.

I was wondering about this too. I found a post over at HP's forums that linked to the monitor's manual.http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01725831.pdfApparently the HP logo on the back is a plastic cover that pops off with a coin and reveals the standard VESA mounting holes.

I have had this problem on one system. It was an HP which already had a built in video that used the same exact driver set and also had a port that required the purchase of a special adapter to utilize the 2nd monitor. Other than that, or something similar, I don't have a clue.

I first ordered this from Dell with the monitor - picked size etc. Montor came straight away, but computer was delayed many times-- ordered from Amazon and came without trouble, and all was well with the combo. My guess is that you should order each. Jim

I examined the same question when making a purchasing decision. The question is how much does a monitor change over time and in differing places. My system (Mac) is designed to operate in one area and the requirements for changing the settings do not vary. My laptop (Windows) operates in differing environments and changes to the monitor depend upon where the computer is being used, but these changes have been minor. If you are ina commercial environment and the pictures are for sale or publication, then spend the money and buy the more expensive item. Based upon the stability of my system, I'd say save the money until you really need the more expensive item. One word of caution, the Spyder4Elite software sends reminders to recalibrate too often. I have recieved one immediately after performing the recalibration (Mac) and the laptop (Windows) has sent a notification every time I log on. I did report this a number of times, but It must have fallen upon deaf ears or the customer service group may be perfoming recalibrations in response to messages and not have the time to respond to customers.

Hi Thank you for your interest. The difference is pixel policy. Please check the pixel policy of each description. This monitor is Perfect Pixel(0 defective pixel) monitor. Thank you.

I don't know about Gl2760H but I am very happy with the GW. Good resolution when I connect it with HDMI and it is working well. Had it for a few months and only use it about 3 hours a day but for that price I think this monitor is better than some of the known brands. I have a HP monitor but the colors and resolution cannot be compared to this monitor. Hope that helps you.

You have to be quite careful with older HP and Compaq computers. A lot of times PC2700 RAM will not throttle down from 2700 to 2100 and therefore won't work.

I just returned my HP Envy 27-inch monitor to Amazon. I too have a 2012 MacBook Pro (13") and attempted to hook it up to the monitor via HDMI (adapted from thunderbolt? - not the mini video port of old). The picture was horrible, fonts were unreadable. A 90-minute call to HP support revealed that they have no driver support for Mac and all the fiddling with the settings on the Mac did not solve the problem. Oddly, I have my MacBook Pro hooked up to an older HP 23" monitor via HDMI and it works like a charm. Not sure what the difference is between the two monitors, but there it is.
