HP - 21.5" IPS LED Full HD FreeSync Monitor (HDMI, VGA) - Silver & Black

During the pandemic, I was fortunate to be able to work remotely from home with a new laptop and two monitors. Now that we are back to working in the brick-and-mortar office building, I no longer have an extra monitor at home for my personal laptop and I really miss it. I decided to buy an HP monitor because I have had good luck with the brand. I have an HP laptop and color printer I absolutely love that they communicate so well with one another. An advantage of the HP M22f monitor is that it is compatible with most other laptops. The first monitor I ordered arrived banged up so badly during transit that the monitor was damaged, resulting in spiderweb cracks making it unusable. HP very quickly shipped me a replacement. SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES: • Resolution is 1920 x 1080 FHD • At under 5 lbs, it is lightweight making it easy to move • LCD display panel with active matrix and in-plane switching (IPS) • AMD FreeSync is a type of adaptive synchronization technology for LCD displays. It helps displays eliminate screen tearing and stuttering by synchronizing the monitor’s refresh rate (48-75 Hz) with the framerate of your AMD graphics card. As a result, you experience the optimal framerate the graphics card can achieve. • FHD – full high-definition. POSITIVES: • The monitor was so easy to set up and I was using it immediately. • It has a slim, stylishly sleek profile with a thin bezel maximizing the display. • With the 21.5” screen, it fits on desk without taking up too much space. • The foot/base is sturdy and an open design making it a great spot to store items on the desk (pens, post-its, etc.) for easy accessibility. • The auto image adjustments are intuitive providing great picture quality and color accuracy. • The cable containment feature hides the cord in the mount to keep it from getting entangled with other cables and cords. • Tilt adjustment (head forward or backward) sets it to a comfortable eye level. • The control buttons are located under the monitor and easily accessible. The OSD menu lets you customize the viewing features of the monitor with these settings: brightness, color, image, input, power, menu, management, information, exit. There is a power light to let you know if the unit is on, off, or in sleep state. While the function buttons are pre-assigned, you can reassign them to quickly access your most commonly used menu items. • Eyesafe means low blue light without affecting color quality. The anti-glare panel has an LED backlight. This is perfect for people like me who spend long hours in front of a computer! • Sustainability: monitor is crafted with 85% recycled materials. Energy saver feature for reduced power consumption. THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY: • While you can’t adjust the height, the 178-degrees ultra-wide viewing angles makes it adaptable for a sitting or standing position or moving from side to side. • While it connects to your laptop via VGA or HDMI port, only an HDMI cable is included. • It is not VESA mount compatible. I found it very helpful to access the user guide at http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c07008860.pdf. I love this monitor so much that my husband is purchasing me a second one for my upcoming birthday. Once you get used to 3 monitors, there is no going back to fewer.

This monitor has a fantastic display. While 22 inches is slightly smaller size than the market standard of 24 inches, the smaller display at the same 1080p resolution actually produces a better picture. PROS - Bright and clear display. I did not make any changes to the monitor's settings, and was very happy with the picture. The colors are a bit more saturated, but this monitor has a glare-free display (meaning it's not reflective), so this is actually impressive. - Excellent viewing angles. I could almost look at the monitor from the side and there was absolutely no distortion of the color. - Wide tilt. This monitor would work well in an environment where it is placed higher or lower than the average height of the viewer in that environment. For most users sitting in front of it, it can easily be adjusted to that user's height. - Incredibly thin bezel. The matte screen goes to the very edge of the monitor, meaning there is no space where the screen and bezel meet for dust to collect as the monitor ages. At the same time, the very slight bezel behind that screen is almost hard to notice. - Blue light reduction is almost unnoticeable when it comes to the colors on the screen. I did not feel as though I had the orange "hue" that a lot of blue-light-reduction seems to cause. - Surprisingly intuitive buttons for adjustments and input. There are actually no labels for the buttons other than the power button (and the on/standby light is very small), but simply pressing any of the buttons brings up a menu on the screen, with options lining up directly above the button location, making them very easy to use just by touch. CONS - No height adjustments. While the screen tilt is generous, there is no height adjustment to this monitor. - Not VESA mountable. You will have to use the stand with this monitor. However, I appreciate the open design of the stand base, as it makes a handy area to place small objects such as pens, flash drives, SD cards, paper clips, and other items that tend to slide and roll around on the desk. For me personally, this monitor lacks a couple of features that could greatly improve it for a power user like myself. CONSIDERATIONS FOR POWER USERS - Use one of the buttons for channel changing instead of color or brightness. I frequently have multiple devices plugged into my monitors, and I prefer to have a button that quickly changes the input ("channel") rather than having to go through a serious of menus just to change that input. - More HDMI ports. Again, as a power user, I would appreciate more inputs than just 1 HDMI and 1 VGA. I will often have a second computer, a streaming device, or a game system plugged into the monitor, depending on the location I am using the monitor. My primary desk has 3 different computers set up on it, so I would have to create a complicated setup in order to have multiple devices set up on this monitor. - No speakers. While speakers built in to monitors are generally terrible, they are handy to have when you need them. I have to give a couple of kudos to HP for the packaging and assembly of this monitor. In most cases, the monitor is centered in the box and the cables and accessories are dropped in on the front and back. Opening the box, I found all of the accessories organized in a "tray" (see my photo), and removing the tray revealed the monitor itself. Very easy to unpack. The stand was also so easy to attach, and FINALLY, no tools required!!! For the price point, this is a fantastic monitor and I would recommend it to almost anyone needing one for everyday use.

This HP monitor is perfect for my needs with it's lightweight feel, thin profile design, and clarity. I have really been able to utilize this for work at home scenarios to be more productive. Having the large real estate of a 21.5" IPS monitor with 1080p has been a nice upgrade for me so I don't have to rely on my laptop's 13" screen. This HP monitor also has a small footprint so it doesn't take up too much space on my desk or table. The only thing it lacks is a vertical adjustable option, but I can easily buy a small monitor stand for that. It's a simple plug and play type monitor that allows for an extra screen with both the HDMI and VGA ports offered. It has a Full HD display so you'll get a nice crisp clear screen. HP offers Eye Ease technology on this and it helps more than I thought it would. Keeping my eyes fairly strain free for the hours I'm working on my productivity. Easily viewable screen from multiangle, as HP states it's at 178 degree viewing angle. As for the AMD FreeSync technology I've been pleased with the monitor's performance of keeping up with streaming video content and not stuttering. The color accuracy seems to be on point and I think it's a great fit for most consumers. This is a pretty good monitor for your everyday basic needs without breaking the budget. Have been using it for a couple weeks and have no complaints as it's worked flawlessly. PRO: Quick setup - unbox and hook up Large screen, small footprint Lightweight

Like so many others I am working from home. This monitor has made my life so much easier. I absolutely love this monitor, so much so that I bought two!

Great monitor. Bought it to go with my HP. Nice size for my desk. Got it on sale for $99.

Like many others, I am mainly doing telework at home. I have a 15" display on my work laptop. If I open more than one doc or app on the same screen, (which I have to do all the time) I end up squinting through my reading glasses, trying to make out what's on the page & my eyes get so fatigued by the middle of the day. That's why I welcomed the HP M22f FHD 1920 x 1080 Monitor with HP Eye Ease! Now, I can easily see all my opened docs & apps without the squinting & eye strain. And I enjoy using this bright, clear display with excellent color accuracy and wide viewing angles. The monitor itself is a pleasure to view, with it's 3-sided bezel-less ,ultra-thin modern design. I like that it weighs less than 5 lbs,, so it is easy to move around. This is a great monitor to replace your small laptop display. I am so enjoying it!
