High end, business grade monitor, current HP model. Built around s-ips or other premium grade panels not used in regular consumer monitors. Overall construction is very high quality, heavy duty unlike most consumer monitors with low cost plastic surrounds and bases. 20.1 inch is a good desktop size. I don't need a widescreen monitor since I'm not playing video games or watching dvd movies. Bought one of these for myself and another for my wife. Extremely satisfied and recommend this monitor highly.
