The Pros:Blue LED indicator light can be turned off. Built with recycled materials - a "green" monitor. Value - inexpensive, good for basic computing tasks.
The Cons:No built-in speakers - commonly found on entry level monitors. Not Full HD compliant - only capable of displaying 720p content. Poor stand - only capable of tilt motion.
The HP S2031 is a 20” widescreen LCD monitor released as a downgrade from the more expensive albeit superior HP 2509m. It hosts a weaker 1600x900 resolution coupled with a reduced contrast ratio, brightness, and pixel pitch, not to mention a slower response time.
