"Amazing quality, terrible life-span." on by Bugs6968
Pros: -Amazing color and quality for the price
-Sleek design
-LightweightCons: -HD setting is fairly low resolution
-"Dies" faster than anything I can imagineSummary: When I first set up my display, I was amazed by the quality. For the price I paid, I had expected much less. I was running dual displays with the 2009m as my primary. But after about four months, I was no longer able to turn it on. I have never even moved it from its current position, so there was no possibility of me damaging the power unit. Occasionally, the power connection "fixes" itself and I am able to turn it on, and I now leave it on to prevent this problem. HP sent me a replacement monitor and I was to return my initial one withing 15 days. As I write this review, it is day 3, and the MENU button of the replacement monitor is shorting out. The screen rapidly flashes from menu>brightness menu>(highlights cancel)>main menu>(closes) and repeats, very quickly until it finally locks out and displays a constant "OSD LOCKOUT" box. I have to tape the menu button down just to keep the menu off the screen.
In conclusion, for its price, quality is excellent. But is horribly manufactured, and I would HIGHLY recommend against purchasing this monitor.
