2012-05-23
most 23-inch led-based monitors are very basic general-purpose devices that probably won't impress you with their performance the HP 23 11 X I however has an IPS screen giving it a few powers beyond your usual 23 inch err hi I'm Eric Franklin and today I'll take a first look at the HP 23 11 X I the X side has a wide foot stand includes back tilt but no pivot or height adjustment technically there's no swivel but you can slide it around very easily connections include HDMI DVI and VGA OSD options feature the usual brightness and contrast but also color temperature 5 presets and red-green-blue adjustment options movies display deep blacks in pretty good color although they do tend to push a bit too much green games look vibrant with a high color saturation but again have that slight green tint to the images the most impressive thing about the performance though is the viewing angle the X I uses an in-plane switching or IPS panel which gives it really wide viewing angles very noticeable when viewing from the bottom of the screen but also from the sides or top from off angles like this the IPS panel allows it to retain this kind of image integrity that twisted nematic or TN panels don't have but it's not just that the X eye has an IPS panel is that it has this very powerful panel but costs starting at only $240 which is cheaper than even some TN panels which usually start at pretty low prices check my full review for more info once again I'm Eric Franklin and this has been a first look at the HP 2311 x eye
