I'm sold on it.
Looks like it was made for me.
A stylish monitor with a 1920 x 1080 resolution about 23".

Even has display port so i can use that instead of DVI.

Would of course like to see it in the flesh and read some reviews before buying (hint, hint Hexus )

Finally! Sexy monitors are finally becoming available for the PC!

Like the fact it's LED and good viewing angles though the 70% colour gamut is surprising and disappointing. Great that it has all 3 major digital inputs too.

Shame that it can't swivel to portrait (why does no one do this anymore?!) Also, a 1900x1200 version would be good too. Yup can't wait to read a review.

meh

TN and 1920x1080. Not exactly inspirational.

not bad but im not sold on paying an extra £50 for a monitor that has some extra connections when compared to the new dell monitor... especially when you can get their 23" with quidco for ~£162! . Im waiting for a review of both the dell and this one though as it is close to the upper range of my budget so we shall see.... hexus get some in please .

What's the model number for dell you quoted Hicks12? and also, what's the model number for the HP one as the link isn't working.

Cant see the hexus page either... still waiting for reviews to come out for the dell as they were released last week.

Have to say i'd still take the HP because of the extra style

Thanks. My work have just ordered the Dell for me (a few days ago) so will let you know what I think when I get it.

Just got the Dell monitor that work bought for me and it's amazing. At home I've got a Dell G2410 and it is so much better than that. I'd highly recommend it.

Indeed, basically, cheap crap.

Whilst we're moaning it's a shame that it doesn't seem to have a VESA (or whatever) mount.

I have my "monitors" (currently one, but would like to expand) on Ergotron mounts, because it gives you so much more usage scenarios with the monitor and is more ergonomic.

HP released some touch monitors that looked interesting but no mounting options.

Why can't manufacturers rectify this? If they're worried about the monitor not being "streamlined", then plonk the mount behind a plastic grill so that it's hidden when not in use. At least it would still be there.
