HP 23xi

[Scottland]

Saw these in the flesh the other day and was quite taken by them. Does anyone else have them and care to share some feedback on them?


The only negative point so far seems to be lack of adjustment, which is an issue as they're too low. So are there any other glass fronted screens in a similar vein with height adjustment?

My HP 23xi works well. The IPS panel shows clear images, viewing angles are good, and being "semi-matte" doesn't detract from image quality.

One caveat: my unit (and others I have seen in exposition) show blue with a purplish tone, e.g. links in web pages; I think this can be corrected using the monitor's colour menu. However, after 6 moths of use, the effect is now almost unnoticeable (or maybe my eyes adapted to it and don't notice anymore . Aside from that, colours look good.

Also, my unit had its factory adjustments set too high, specially brightness and contrast (they hurt the eyes after a while). But reducing them to 5 and 20, respectively, gives a workable display, at least for my eyes.

The lack of height adjstment isn't an issue, at least for me. You can look at the image sligtly from above, as they say it's convenient to do.

So, in short: I would repeat buying the 23xi.

P.D. I wouldn't mind having a 24" monitor, just so text looks a bit bigger, but the 23xi is good enough anyway.
