HP Reveals 'Micro Thin' LED backlit 23-inch Monitor

[decrypted]

Ok, I don't get display companies lately. Why are they so focused on making panels thinner (TVs included in this), and not on making the actual display better? Most are still around 1000:1 static contrast ratio, have bad color range, and more importantly, poor black levels. For the last several years it's been the same issues year after year, but oh look how much thinner they are.

It's not about you, it's about their manufacturing costs, shipping weight, etc. They just SAY thinner is better and people jump on the bandwagon. My monitor experience is 2 dimensional; I look at the front surface. Whether it extends back 0.1" or 3" is really irrelevant. But there's just no accounting for weenies...

I am getting tired of being offered a 1920x1080 TV screen as a PC monitor.
I've been using 1600x1200 res for years and will not switch unless I can get MORE.
For those of us who use their PCs to 'work' and not just play games or watch TV 1920x1080 is simply not enough.
8+MP photo editing in Photoshop, large spreadsheets or databases; Word document side by side with a spreadsheet etc. THG should focus on professional PC user needs a bit more, and a little less on the gamers (thus sending a message to the manufacturers !!). Ah yes, and before I get killed by the gaming folks, I used to be a game programmer, wrote one of the first flight simulators for the than state of the art TI99/4A (16 bit) and C64 (8 bit/ 1MHz) (LOL, these where the days...). Don't get me wrong, I love games, but even those are better in high res than it 'TV' mode (as used with the TI99 back in the 80s) 🙂

wow a lot of nitpicking over the base... my monitors base is fat, and is completely useless compared to this one

1920x1200 is perfect on 17-24" monitors, too bad you can't get it on any of these new monitors.

Next monitor will have to be a 30" monster if I want the res. I'm trying to figure out which kidney I'll need to sacrifice.

Yep, 1920x1200 is about the minimum to get some decent work done; especially with 2 of them side by side.
