Buttons to change screen settings were so still that I had to hold the monitor to keep it from moving. This, in turn, caused flickering lines, which I later learned was a sign that I pressed too hard (no harder than I use on my many other devices). Lasted about 6 months.

Extremely grainy image. Not worth the purchase. Looks sleek, but everything is barely readable after adjusting the sharpness and contacting Geek Squad.

Purchased this monitor as an "Open Box - Excellent Condition" item. I'm usually happy with Best Buy's open box items but this was not in "Excellent" condition. It was not in it's original box, contained no manuals of paperwork, was missing the HDMI cable, had noticeable wear and tear (scuff marks), and had gooey residue along the right side of the monitor. The various parts were just tossed together in a make-shift box (two boxes taped to together) along with some bubble wrap.

Its good but after a while it randomly started to turn black for a couple seconds and started working fine (It happens a lot of times) NOT REALLY OFTEN.

Monitor didn’t work…returning it. The display was clear only in the upper right corner. The rest of the display was filled with multi-colored lines. Disappointed in HP this time!

After 6 trips to the store to find what I needed to make this work, I still had to return everything and start all over. Different connectors , plugs and so on..

I really love this HP IPS 1080 monitor. The color accuracy is noticeably good. HP has something called "EyeSafe" which in English means it has low blue light. In all-day use, I've found it comfortable. Design-wise, the monitor has very thin bezels and is super lightweight. The stand is not height adjustable and there's no VESA mount but if you're keen and have access to a 3D printer, you can 3D print a VESA adapter. Other things to know. HP included an HMDI cable in the box. The AC power is brick style. There's no audio/speakers but it does support AMD FreeSync.

The video quality on this monitor is top notch, and that is the most important thing. And extremely thin screen, but with deep colors. and rapid response.
No matter what I through at it, there was no flicker or delay in the picture display. From video, to games, to code, to documents... it all displayed great.
It is a very LIGHT monitor. So one thing, in my usage, I was using it as an extended monitor for my laptop. I would occasionally hit it as I walked away from the table, and being it was so light, it would move... not a big deal if you are on a desk, but if you are going to use it where there is movement about, keep an eye.
Comes with just an HDMI and a VGA connector options. VGA is still important to some users on older computers, or applications... so this may be a good option for them to have a modern monitor, with that older connection. The HDMI is just as easy to connect, right on the back... not on the side.
Simple AND SMALL adapter, which is great. makes storage of that small power brick easy, and I will probably end-up 3M hooking it to the back of the monitor.
Now this is where It looses a star for me.
The integrated stand... So for basic usage, this is going t one fine for most. Real easy to put together, took all of 3 or 4 minutes...
What it really needs is the standard VESA mounting screws, so that I can add this to a 3rd Party monitor stand. I would really love to use this monitor in the portrait mode (up and down), so I can have it right next to my 32" monitor on my main computer, as a second monitor. For Code review (for work) and chat (while game playing).
Also for others, that have to raise and lower their monitor to get to a good visual site light (for neck and eye strain), will have to be created to get the moniotor up of their desk a bit.
Overall, the visuals are stunning, usage it is easy.
Just the stand / mount options are a bit lacking, which may not matter for most.
A bonus plus, if you are looking for a new monitor for your older computer that uses VGA
