Why We Like It – HP VH240A
If you’re in the market for a monitor that is a perfect size for office/home use, the HP VH240a offers just what you need at a reasonable price. The monitor could be one of the top 23-inch monitors, which is perfect for those who spend most of their time working in between a laptop and desktop.

Performance
Just like the HP ZR2740w 27-inch monitor, the HP VH240a offers 60 HZ resulting in a smooth flowing visual and a quick response time eliminates any chance of choppiness. I was impressed with the accurate colors which are complemented with the good contrast ratio. The matte panel nicely illuminates reflections, which is a key factor for gaming or movie watching. The thin bezel-less frame allows for multiple screen use, which works fairly decently. The internal speakers sound surprisingly well for this affordable monitor, especially compared to others like the Acer R240HY.

Design
The HP VH240a is very slim, with a nice matte black frame. Although it’s on the heavier sign at 15 pounds, the short mounting arm allows for pretty nice pivot adjustments and viewing angles. There is a VGA and HDMI port, but it does not offer any USB inserts. So it may be a little difficult to connect to storage devices, or certain mobile phones. Power button is in the rear, which can be frustrating for people who want to mount or may just simply want it in reach. The design compares to the look of the ASUS va24ehe monitor 1920×1080 d sub.
Value
The HP VH240a’s quick speed and fast response time, along with a sharp clean picture, makes it a bargain for its price. Without dropping much out of your wallet, you’re going to still get a thin, sleek, ”expensive looking” monitor that does its job. Spending extra on screens might be a waste of cash because there’s a good chance he won’t even notice the difference. Just like the …[] its lightweight allows you to travel….and you don’t have to worry much that it might get banged up here and there.
