HP seem to be constantly churning out great monitors and the HP 27sv is no exception to this rule. So we thought we’d take a closer look at this LED monitor from the boys at HP.
The HP 27sv is priced at US$200 and the main feature on the unit is the Bezel-less display. Ideal for the multi monitor user. So what else does the HP27sv monitor have to offer you.
Today we’re taking a look at a 27 inch LED monitor, namely the HP 2711. The boys at Palo Alto have produced a full Hi-Def res ultra-slim monitor for you to view your favourite PC games on. Of course it’ll work just as well with other types of software. The 2711 sports a BrightView panel for cutting down glare, has a Tilt Adjustment feature which allows to fold the screen down to be flush with your desk for some reason! It’s Energy Star Compliant and sports VGA, DVI-D and HDMI inputs for all round connectivity. Check out some more details for the HP 2711 27 inch monitor

Reviews
TestFreaks - 8.9
PCMag - 3 out of 5
Amazon customer reviews
- 4.5 stars out of 5
Pros - Good design, colour and performance, ultra thin
Cons - Bad grayscale, limited adjustability, glossy surface, no height adjustment
So there’s a bit of a mixed reaction to the actual quality of the display and no height adjustment seems a bit of odd feature to leave out, but if you are still interested then check out the HP 2711 27 inch LED monitor over at Amazon

The upgrading of the Mini 210 from HP shows the competitiveness of the netbook market. If you want to win you’ve can’t afford to fall behind, as each manufacturer tries to squeeze more bang for buck from their models. The 1142CL Mini 210 will set you back $370 (list price) and certainly sports the features you’d expect from a new netbook.
We could only find one online review of this new Mini 210 over at PC Mag where they gave the 1142CL 3.5 stars out of 5. They stated a dodgy touchpad, badly placed memory slots and its looks as negatives whilst the Mini 210’s fast HDD, large battery and competitive pricing as positives.
If you have managed to have a play with HP’s latest Mini 210 do let us know what you think of it.
