    We'd be very happy to spend our own money on an HP w2408h. We're slightly put off by the glossy screen coating, but it more than makes up for this with exceptional physical adjustability and image quality that is pleasing to the eye Read more

    HP's w2408h offers a wealth of attractive features, such as HDMI with HDCP, pivot, height adjustment, rotation, four USB ports and speakers. It may not break any records in the picture quality stakes but the image quality is still decent, and unless you're a specialist user, for the price, this large, high resolution display is simply a great buy.
