HP 20" 1680x1050 5ms TFT

I couldn't resist it so have bought the HP 20" TFT.
It has DVI-D (supports HDCP) and analog with both the DVI and analog cables in the box along with the audio cable and two power cables (one with UK plug).
There is slight backlight bleeding when showing a black background but it's barely noticable when sitting in front of it whereas it's more evident when looking at it from an angle. The viewing angles seem very good as the picture barely changes even when looking at it from the side.
The speakers are 2W per channel and they are slightly tinny so not really useful but usable if your speakers failed or something.
It has 1:1 pixel mapping available in the menu and I tested it so can confirm it works perfectly and likely will be useful when running something that can't handle the 1680x1050 resolution.
Overall it seems like a great 20" TFT for only £189.99 collected. My old monitor was a 21" Sony Trinitron based CRT and this TFT is an excellent replacement for it.
Also there doesn't appear to be any dead pixels although I haven't used any software to test, I just looked around the screen.
