HP Monitor Review: Are They the Best Choice for Your Eyes and Wallet?

HP Monitor Review

When you build a PC or buy a second screen for your laptop, the first brand you see is usually HP. In every office, school, and cyber café, an HP monitor is sitting on the desk. But why?

Are they actually good, or are they just cheap? I have set up hundreds of computers in my shop. I have seen HP monitors last for 10 years, andI have seen some die in 10 months. Today, I will give you my honest "Technician's Review" of HP monitors.

I will tell you which ones are amazing, which ones are trash, and how to pick the right one for you.

1. Why is HP So Popular?

It comes down to one word: Reliability. HP monitors are like the "Toyota" of the computer world. They are not always the flashiest, but they work.

Design: Most new HP monitors are ultra-slim (like the HP M24f or Series 5). They look very expensive and clean on a desk.
Price: You can get a good HP monitor for a very low price compared to brands like Dell or Samsung.

2. The 3 Types of HP Monitors (Which One Are You?)

HP makes it confusing with weird names. Let me make it simple. There are only three types you need to know:

The "V" Series (Budget): These are the cheapest (like HP V19 or V22). They have thick borders and use older screens.
My Advice: Only buy this if you have very little money. The colors are not great.
The "M" or "Series 5" (Home & Student): These are the best sellers (like HP M24f). They are super thin, silver, and have beautiful colors.
My Advice: Buy this! It is the best value for money for 90% of people.
The "EliteDisplay" or "E" Series (Business): These have heavy stands that can go up and down. They are built for offices.
My Advice: Great if you work 8 hours a day, but they are expensive.

3. Display Quality: IPS vs. The Old Stuff.

Here is a technical tip that will save your eyes. When buying an HP monitor, always look for the word "IPS" on the box.

IPS (In-Plane Switching): This means the colors look perfect from any angle. If you look from the side, the picture does not turn dark.
TN/ VA(OlderTech): These panels look "washed out" or whitish if you don't look straight at them.

Warning: Many cheap HP monitors still use TN panels. Avoid them if you want to watch movies.

4. Common Problems You Will Face

No product is perfect. Here are the issues I see in my repair shop

Wobbly Stand: The slim monitors look nice, but the stand is often weak. If you type fast, the screen might shake a little.
No Speakers: Most budget HP monitors do not have built-in speakers. You will need to buy external speakers or use headphones.
Black Screen Issue: Sometimes, the screen goes black for 1 second and comes back. This is usually due to a cheap HDMI cable, not the monitor itself.

5. Gaming on HP: Is it Possible?

If you are a serious gamer, standard HP monitors are "okay," but not great. They usually have a 60Hz or 75Hz refresh rate. This is fine for GTA V or story games.

But if you play Valorant or CS: GO, you need an HP OMEN monitor. The OMEN series gives you 144Hz or 165Hz, which makes the game feel super smooth. Do not buy a normal office monitor for competitive gaming.

6. My Final Verdict

So, should you buy an HP Monitor?

YES, if:

You want a sleek, modern-looking desk.
You do office work, coding, or watch YouTube.
You want a screen that is easy on the eyes (HP has "Eye Ease" technology which reduces blue light).

NO, if:

You need built-in speakers (Buy a TV or a multimedia monitor instead).
You are a professional color grader (Colors are good, but not "studio perfect" on cheap models).

For most of my customers in Bangladesh and abroad, the HP M24f or Series 5 is the perfect sweet spot.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. Why does my HP monitor say "Input Signal Out of Range"?

This happens when your computer is sending a resolution that the monitor cannot handle. Restart your PC in "Safe Mode" and lower the resolution to 1920x1080.

2. Does the HP monitor have an HDMI port?

Yes, almost all modern HP monitors (even the cheap ones) have at least one HDMI port. Some also have VGA ports for older computers.

3. Can I mount my HP monitor on the wall?

Be careful! The slim "M" series monitors usually cannot be mounted on a wall because they don't have screw holes (VESA mount) on the back. You need an adapter. The "V" and "E" series usually can be mounted.
