HP 2710m

$460.00 Released May, 2010

The Pros:Glossy screen allows colors to pop, very vibrant. Text is clear and easy to read from a normal viewing distance. Black levels are very good, contrast is well rendered.

The Cons:Limited viewing angle, need to be right in front. Prone to glare and reflection of light sources in the room. Black levels stay the same regardless of brightness setting\.

The HP 2710m is a mid-range 27" high definition monitor with many similarities to the 23" HP 2310m. Besides its larger screen, the HP 2710m sports a few improvements over the 2310m, namely: a 92% color gamut, 400 nits brightness and a 2.5 ms gray-to-gray response time.

Otherwise, the 2710 sports the same 1920 x 1080 native resolution, 60,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and 16:9 aspect ratio as the HP 2310m.

The 2710m's 92% color gamut provides deeper and truer colour reproduction while its 60,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio allows for darker blacks and brighter whites. Its 2.5 ms gray-to-gray response time allows the 2710m to reproduce fast action scenes with less blurring and ghosting, making it more suitable for gaming. Of course its 1920 x 1080 native resolution means the 2710m is full 1080p HD capable.

1080p resolution is somewhat small for the 27" display size, more standard on 22-24" displays - less detailed looking (larger dot pitch)

TN panel - poor colour quality and viewing angles compared to IPS based displays
