HP's L1925 is fresh off the assembly line and sports a stylish look for spring. Its sleek, silver half-inch bezel subtly frames a handful of small, elliptical buttons along the bottom edge. The display's base picks up the elliptical theme and provides a gratifyingly sturdy foundation. The pedestal on which the display sits is a solid cylinder-within-a-cylinder that telescopes from about three inches off the desk surface to seven inches high and swivels about 35 degrees to the left and right. Add to this a display that tilts forward and backward, can be mounted to a wall via an optional VESA kit, and pivots between Portrait and Landscape modes (pivot software included), and you have an LCD that will stand the test of any office presentation.

The L1925 includes both analog and digital inputs, and HP thoughtfully provides cables for both. Alas, HP leaves out a cable-feed system to keep desktop clutter down--the signal and power connectors just hang off the back panel. The onscreen menu for adjusting image settings, on the other hand, is clear and easy to navigate; in fact, it looks a bit like a PalmPilot's interface. The L1925's image quality is good overall, with nice focus and adequately bright colors. The few flaws we discovered in CNET Labs' tests were characteristic of LCDs in this price range: slight pixel fusion, making small text hard to read, and the disappearance of contrast in very deep blacks and whites. Such shortcomings won't interfere with basic productivity work, such as word processing, writing e-mail, or Web surfing. HP backs the L1925 with a standard three-year parts-and-labor warranty.

The HP L1925 may cost a few bucks more than the competing Envision EN-9110, but it offers slightly better image quality and the kind of adjustability and design that makes it a prime choice for the home or the office.
