  Summary: 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.

  Cons: Stand is to short. Glare on screen from window light.

  Summary: What a great buy for the money. Compair to other brands of simalar prices and there is no comparison. Easy to install. Vivid,clear,sharp images and fast response time....

  One other con.. Dont expect to get great sound out of the built in speakers but I think this is common for monitor speakers.

  A Good Deal

  by espera3 on May 21, 2011

  Pros: I bought two of these monitors from Wal-Mart and I've owned them for almost 2 years without any problems.
  Primary usage is more screen space for my 3D applications, Maya and Softimage, but I occasionally play games and watch DVDs with them.

  Cons: None so far

  Summary: Serously makes me wonder what might have happened if the monitored failed while no one was home, to make this even more concerning is that the monitor still actually works but emits a foul smell and immense heat so the I assume the overload circuit either doesn't exist or has failed also. The monitor has always run off of the same filtered power supply as my desktop pc and that continues to work faultlessly as it has for the past 3 years.

  Amazing monitor, extremely pleased!

  by alejandrofutbol9 on June 16, 2009

  Pros: Great Glossy Finish. Other similar monitors sell for 200+ bucks and the ones in this price range don't even compare to this one (acer, gateway, etc.)

  Cons: So far, I simply haven't found anything wrong with it.

  Summary: I own an acer aspire one 10.1 netbook and needed a bigger screen for when I am at home watching movies or using remotre desktop with the universitiy's civil engineering software. i looked around for a good monitor within the $140-170 price range. I read the reviews the HP 2009 had on tigre direct, compusa, amazon and they were all wonderful. I was really worried that my expectations had been placed too high because of the hundreds of positive reviews for this monitor. Well, the results really did live up to the expectation. Installation was a breeze even with my netbook. I downloaded the intallation CD from the HP webpage and everything worked perfectly. This is the kind of thing you would recommend to your friend, your teacher, father in law, mother in law, etc. You just can't go wrong with it. The display is trully amazing. If you are looking for a good LCD monitor within the $150 price range...look no further, only a fool would!!

  Summary: HP's 2009m monitor is definitely the best monitor I've ever purchased. Found it at Staples during a sale for $129.99. I use it for a variety of things. I play World of Warcraft, listen to music, and do graphic design. Of course you know it helps me when playing world of warcraft and doing graphics design, but it also lets me view more songs in iTunes and have a wider view to display more options. The 1600x900 resolution is so impressive. The image is crystal clear and the response rate is very good. If you're looking for a monitor around the 19-21" range this is definitely the monitor for anyone.

  Summary: The monitor started off a winner, after I made the purchase of a complete PC from Walmart. Things went well until recently, where the monitor failed. Apparently, the circuit board came loose from the LCD panel. I never jostled it, never hit it, never did anything at all, and it came loose. This puts me out quite a bit, and it's a shame too, because it had so much going for it.
