The monitor is a great value for an ips panel of this size. It's very thin and lightweight and once calibrated the picture quality is very nice to work with as well. One of the few drawbacks I don't like about the monitor is that you can't adjust the picture settings on it without using the HP...

Very good image quality; Accurate color rendition; Sharp looking chassis

Limited stand adjustment, No VESA mounts on back; can't be mounted on an ergonomic stand, No DisplayPort

One such model, the HP Pavilion 27xi, features a 27-inch IPS panel and an ultra-thin cabinet with silver accents. In addition to its pleasing aesthetics, this monitor delivers great color and good grayscale quality and provides the wide viewing angles that IPS technology is famous for.
