HP 23.8 LED Backlit Monitor, low blue light (V241ib, Black)

I needed an external monitor for my M1 MacBook Air, and I discovered (too late) that some manufacturers monitors arent compatible with them. So I went to a more trusted brand, HP, and this monitor plugged right in and worked perfectly. It worked out so well that I bought another one one for my office. (TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: If you do end up with stability issues, some bargain-basement USB-C port adapters have voltage problems which cause instability with external monitors and peripherals. I had a bad one that I bought here, and nothing worked right until I replaced it with an Anker. When I tested the bad one with this monitor, the monitor went to the black no HDMI signal screen several times an hour. With better port adapters it works perfectly.) 100% satisfied.

The first one I got didnt work at all. One of colors was not functioning. The replacement works really well. I have had it for a few months now and it is very easy on the eyes and have had no problems whatsoever with it. The colors are nice and clear not too bright or too dark. It has been perfect for my desktop and I can tilt it up or down which is nice.

Absolutely great for gaming, however I havent found a way to hook up audio to it. I have to use an external bluetooth device. But overall good experience!

After going into year two of Covid work at home mandates, I decided I needed to invest in some better screen options than what I had. These came literally overnight, I set them up in minutes, after letting them warm up from their journey, so very pleased that I opted for an HP product rather than a generic. Bought two of them, and reduced my eye strain almost immediately. I’m sure that if ever I can return to my office on a full-time basis that these will work beautifully in the guestrooms as monitors for our visiting grandchildren to use.

Issues picking up HDMI

I love the lighting and clear color on this monitor. Very easy on the eyes.

It makes working much easier on my eyes and is a perfect extension of my tiny laptop screen.

Great for home office

So far, no complaints whatsoever. One thing I need to mention, I read the power supply plug is flaky. I thought the same thing, but you must really push it in to seat it. If your power cord seems loose and makes intermittent contact, try really seating it past the point of initial resistance. Color adjustment pre settings are not very useful save for the night reading setting. Your best bet is to custom mix the RGB channels manually at around 200 for each channel. Monitor adjustment is simple as the button functions appear on screen above each button. Blacks are nice and dark with little or no shadowing or pixelation. If you are a hard-core gamer, you may want to go another direction, but for most other functions and for the $130.00 price, you would be hard pressed to find a better monitor.

It is a great monitor for the money. It has great picture quality. I use it mainly for work and watching whatever shows.
