It was not so easy to buy the monitor on site, as it is sold apparently well in the various electronic markets
and / or the stock was not sufficient. But order was not a problem.
IPS panel was important to me, rich colors and beautiful illuminated. Power consumption 35 watts (average) very little, before my HP had pulled 2709m all 125 watts of electricity. That's a big difference and was a decisive factor in the buying decision.
The other purchase criteria were: Design: Ease of operation at the front with touch keys, versatile connectivity (DVI, VGA, HDMI), see also my image attached and of course the price. In the electronics market, rendering the monitor for 229th
In addition, the size was 27 inches decisive, we like large monitors and have the space to sit and far away enough. Why should I pay a similar amount or more for a smaller monitor ....
I had pulled the Asus MX279H into consideration, unfortunately saw this ridiculous round plastic base, already something of unstable and the panel was glued slightly awry in the business, so that the monitor, was already out of the race. I then a little bit "wobbled" in the display and the base has reacted like a feather. This is something I would not have to stand on my desk.
That's always the thing: rather look at the business, testing, can handle and then order possibly the Internet. One
should do in literally been a "picture" of what a for appeals. The "eye" decides definitely here with!
With heavy large electronic equipment my onsite warranty is also important, I would like to possibly deliver a replacement unit or the monitor in the electronics market directly. But even that is a matter of taste.
The only thing I's criticisms on this monitor, are the non-existent, (4) VESA holes, you can not screw so readily on the wall. As a solution, I have a USB 4 port hub combined with an aluminum base. The base under the monitor base is 5cm high, the same width as the monitor base and fits in the design of the HP monitor, harmoniously. Can you see in the photo, which is this review added. The aluminum base could now bolted to the wall, it set the monitor and fix it by doppelseitgem tape.
The monitor reflects, has no pivot function and no built-in speaker, take that into consideration.
The inclination can be satisfactory, easy to adjust.
All games I've ever played, on this monitor whether RPG or first-person shooter, can be played without streaks or other negative effects that 7ms response time recognize (s) I / we do not as negative on.
Wrapped the Monitor was first class, as usual from HP, can be seen on the attached photo.
Since almost a year, the monitors are now running with us. No failure, everything runs smoothly, we are satisfied.
There is a CD from HP, which is in the box. Driver CD and a program to set the monitor to different profiles. Well done, you do not necessarily need, Windows 8 / 8.1 recognizes the monitor too.
The power supply of the monitor, is located outside the device, so is practically under the table. What I find very good, because this should nevertheless times broken gehen.Das course also has an impact on the small "thickness" of the monitor. He is very thin and the back it looks like all of a piece. The one with the power supply has naürlich the advantage that / is hot inside the monitor no longer so warm and keep the capacitors may take longer. Because maybe but, propagated in the media, "planned Obsolezens" had an effect on the monitor engineers / technicians / engineers.
All in all = SuperMonitor with small but clear, deductions in the B-note = 4 stars
