Reviews of HP Pavilion 22cwa 21.5-Inch Full HD 1080p IPS LED Monitor, Tilt, VGA and HDMI (T4Q59AA) - Black

Great investment for a solid monitor!!!
Excellent monitor! As you can see from the photo. I bought two of them. Dual monitors are the way to go. Multi-tasking at it's best! Since it doesn't have any audio outputs; I use Bluetooth from my laptop to a JBL Charge 2 Bluetooth Speaker.

GREAT QUALITY, GREAT PRICE!!!
Crisp and vibrant display! Really fits the budget and delivers better than expected quality. Colors are clear and precise; watching videos is a lot more enjoyable with this monitor (especially videos of the 60fps type). I bought one of these monitors for my main computer and it was so good, I bought a second one for a computer in my shop. I plan to buy a third one here soon for a dual display on my shop computer.

HP did a good job with this monitor. Installation of the stand is a breeze and you can't mess it up as the mounting spokes are made to fit only one size of the monitor so there is no guessing, just plug and play.

Ports on the back are 1 power supply (included) 1 VGA cable connection and 1 HDMI.

*NOTE: ONLY a VGA cable comes with the package, HDMI will have to be purchased separately.

Other than that, great purchase, will definitely buy more of these bad boys.

*UPDATE
23SEP2018: Monitors are functioning 100% as day 1. Other users are reporting problems or defects, I still have not had anything happen to me like they said happened to them. I am about to buy another one. The day these problems arise, I will update my review but as of now, everything is great!

*UPDATE
12/12/2018
Monitors are fully operational and function as they did one day 1. Still impressed and satisfied with the quality of these monitors. I have a total of 3 and I am about to buy a 4th one right now.

The best monitor for almsot anything!!
I guarantee 90% of these negative reviews are results of user error. Every component of this monitor is flawless. I haven't had a single problem and Ive had it for almost a year now, an I've been using it with 2 different computers. It's very fast, the color is ridiculously vibrant, it's very clear and sharp. And this monitor actually looks very nice. It's ultra thin, and has a very nice and sturdy stand. In my opinion, monitors with big, bulky stands just stick out like a sore thumb. For all you gamers, if you're budget is tight, this monitor still works well. I used it for gaming for a while and while it was crystal clear, this monitor is only 60hz, so it wasn't as fast as I had hoped. If you have a higher budget, I'd advise looking elsewhere. Anyone who is into editing, designing or any other computer related job, I would totally recommend this display. I'm an editor, and I use premiere. Anyone who uses premiere would know that there are like 4 different work spaces on the screen itself. This monitor displays them all perfectly. Also, it's almost completely borderless. Watching YouTube videos on it, for example, is great because it fills up the entire screen. Who wouldn't want that? Like I said before, if you're looking for a great monitor, but have a low budget, you should stop searching, because you have just found it.

An monitor with outstanding value!
I was looking for a dual monitor setup for my new PC setup, and I had an old Acer monitor which had a resolution I wasn't happy with.

I decided to search for a good monitor for a price I could have a budget for, yet enjoy.

I found this excellent IPS monitor. This monitor arrived in a clean box, and had instructions provided to properly setup the monitor, with a clean sheet applied to the screen to prevent light damage to the screen in shipment. Upon opening, I noticed it came with a complimentary VGA cable (didn't use it, since I prefer HDMI). The monitor has two parts: a stand and the monitor itself. This was easy to set-up as well, and the sheet covering the monitor depicted the connections to build it clearly.

After setting the monitor up, settings were easy to navigate and configure, and in seconds I was logging into Windows with a clear, crisp resolution which was much more pleasing to look at than my older Acer, which has light bleed and some funkier older pixels and colors. My monitor was clear of dead pixels, and was overall just as I needed for anything from browsing to gaming at a comfortable 80fps.

I am in the process of purchasing another monitor to replace my older Acer. Thank you!

Working from home due to covid-19
I had to create an at home office due to the virus and my company emptying our office. This monitor has been amazing! I am using my Microsoft surface pro along with it for 2 screens. i got the 21 in screen and its perfect for my needs! I am using an hdmi cable and purchased the amazon basics converting cable.

Came on time!
This came earlier today so I'm just uploading it now, and it came on time! Great monitor screen and amazing color! It's great for computers and for ps4, yes! Ps4. Easy hook up, no problem at all. But I do suggest speakers If you wanna play your ps4 with sound. But Just use your ps4 head set or some ear buds for sound or buy some speakers for the monitor, other than that its good to go. See you again soon Amazon!

 I was able to purchase 3 Hp pavilion 22cwa which looks awesome if I don't mind saying.
I initially started to look for an upgrade for 2010 Mac mini. So when I started looking at the prices for new computers I was horrified lol. The more I looked into it I started to realize that I wasn't getting a whole lot of bang for my buck to replace my old computer. I looked into selling my old Mac to make up some of the cost of a new computer. But the selling price was not worth it and the worry of selling it to the wrong person made it a good reason to keep it. I looked into upgrading my Mac, the prices of ram had dropped dramatically since I purchased it. I was able to purchase 3 Hp pavilion 22cwa which looks awesome if I don't mind saying. I know eventually the Mac will become obsolete one day but will have great set up for the next computer.

I hate it when she uses my office since I have ...
My wife decided she wanted her own little office space for her work computer for the rare days she works from home. I hate it when she uses my office since I have to disconnect the monitors from the main system and reroute to her laptop. So, I got her a desk for upstairs and a docking station. I already had a spare 21.5 inch monitor, but she wanted two monitors like she has at work. I found this product to be very affordable. I was able to hook it up quickly and I was amazed at the picture quality. I did not care for the placement of the input ports for the HDMI cables. They are right in the middle of the back of the monitor. This means the cable goes straight in making it hard to push flat against the wall or hand on a wall mount without the additional purchase of a 90 degree adapter.
For the money, this product is well worth the purchase if you do not need to hang it or have it flat against a wall.

For the price: OUTSTANDING with MacBook Pro 2017
First of all: This monitor does not have a USB - C out/in on it. The two inputs are a VGA (Cable included) and HDMI (cable not included). I use a MacBook Pro 2017, and picked up this monitor hoping to expand my work space for cheap, and I did that with the aid of a special HDMI-to-usb C adapter.

Size is great for my desk size, and the resolution is where it should be for its price. Honestly, the resolution differential between the retina and this is hardly noticeable. I am not using this for media, art, or the like so I do not need the 4k display that raises the price point of a similarly sized monitor by at least one order of magnitude.

Assembly was EASY. Took 5 minutes with no reading manuals to get the thing together and operating.

It appears to be well built and looks like it will serve me well for at lest 3-5 years of reasonable use. I am astounded at the quality-to-price ratio that we enjoy these days. It's nuts.

MacBook Pro 2017 user Tl;dr: You need a USB-C to HDMI adapter. With that, this monitor will work great and you will not regret forking over the 90$ and change to get this in your office.

Great Budget Monitors
I bought three of these to set up a 360 display for work, and occasional gaming. They work wonderfully, no dead pixels or issues upon plugging them in. It took me a little while to get the adapters to make it a three-display setup, so once I finally got them, I could notice a slight dimming in the one monitor that had been undergoing constant use. Nothing major.

The brightness on these are insane. Like, I had to turn mine down to 40% just so I didn't burn my eyes out. There's a low blue light preset mode, which has saved my eyes a lot of strain since I'm using these a lot. The gaming preset is good as well, especially for console. Beyond worth it for the money.
