The HP Pavilion 2009f LCD monitor is sleek, shiny and ergonomically designed. With just a flip of the base attached to the bottom of the screen, it can stand alone in an upright position on a table or any flat surface. Alternatively, the base can be removed relatively easily and be mounted on the wall. What I really liked was its stand that had a special swivel thingy attached to it, so it was swivel-able! Try this on a Dell monitor, it won’t even budge…

Purposely put the wide-screen HP LCD side by side with my old Dell LCD monitor, for comparison. I didn’t have a spare display card on the computer and was too lazy to hook up the Dell monitor to my notebook, so it’s off.

Setting up was a breeze, just plug and play. The screen comes with an informative manual that could guide even the most electronically-unsavvy people. Cables can be kept well out of sight by routing it through a hole in the base. Obviously the designers placed some priority on the aesthetic value of the product, which is great, since I’m a neat freak!

Ok, so we know it’s pretty, but can it get down to business? It sure did. Images on the monitor were crisp and crystal clear. And I especially loved its wide screen which is perfect for watching wide-format DVD movies, doing design work and viewing documents side-by side. It’s also a great companion to my laptop. I just plug it in and voila! I have two screens to work with.
