HP intros new entry-level computer monitors
HP will soon launch three new low-priced monitors, including the 20-inch 20-inch S2031, 21.5-inch S2231 and 23-inch S2331. Each has a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, VGA and HDCP-compliant DVI-D connections, as well as two-lamp panels rather than four-lamp units for lower power draw than most screens. They also share a 5ms pixel response time.
The S2031 has a 1600x900 panel and a brightness of 250 nits, while the other two have full 1080p resolutions and 300 nits of brightness. The S2031 will cost $150, the S2231 $190 and the S2331 $220 when all three are released on May 16th.
