My Setup

I have the HP 2009m. It may be the 2159m but the front of the screen just says 2009m and it looks just like the 2159m.

It is a wonderful monitor. And WAY better than my Gateway. I was thinking of swapping the Gateway out with another HP but nah.

Yep. Its a PC by the way.

I had one and returned it. The color was extremely vivid, however not true at all. Any photographs looked washed out and overly fluorescent.

It did make WoW look amazing though :)

yes thats where i bought mine, see unboxing of it, click my sig.

I just bought this monitor as an external display for my HP dv7t laptop. I have it hooked up using HDMI, and I noticed that the desktop does not reach the edges of the usable screen when in the native resolution of 1920 x 1080. I haven't tried the VGA connection yet to see if the same thing happens. Also, the text is not as crisp as on my laptop screen (17.3"). Otherwise, I like the quality of the display, especially for the price. How do you like it?

you clearly have a problem because you did not set your display right. my text and pictures a clear and sharp. then again im using a mbp with a nvidia 9600 graphics. i dont know your pc exactly. im using Dvi, try to play with your display setting in your control panel and bump the res to high and also the Bit colors.

i have taken a screen shot of my desktop, click and then enlarge the pic.
