Published by dipti, on November 21st, 2011, in the categories: Reviews
HP has always given the best product to the market. Now the question is will HP x2301 succeed in maintaining its buyer’s expectation or not?
It’s a 23 inch monitor weighing 7 pound that has diagonal measurement of 23 inch and is tiltable up to -5 to +15 degrees. It has VGA, HDMI and DVI ports so that you can attach inputs that can be auto-switched or depends on user selection. If you are having one active input at a time then auto switch works fine but one cannot guarantee for two active inputs with the auto-switch option.
Power button is available at front panel of the monitor. You can disable backlight but the LED is always on. Appearance-wise monitor looks cool as its thickness is just half of the thickness of deck of cards. It has very nice grayish black color finish. Base of HP monitor is quite small that is why monitor looks too heavy on it.
The best thing about this monitor is that it is the fastest refreshing monitor. If you check out you will find that this HP monitor reduces blur and slow switching of the frames. Backlight of the monitor is very bright with good contrast level that provides soothing feeling to your eyes. Not all LCD monitors can display true black color but this HP x2301 LED monitor is an exceptional one. It shows up very dark charcoal type color that is approximately close to natural black color.
Controls of HP x2301 are pretty awesome. Adjusting brightness, color temperature, contrast, enabling or disabling light sensor, horizontal and vertical position are just one press apart. By pressing remote button, you can almost change all the functions on this monitor in no time. You can adjust the position of on-screen menu, set individual RGB levels and much more. You can even set sleep mode control so that it turn off automatically at particular time set by the viewer. You can create a custom profile using colorimeter. HP x2301 has an auto sensor that adjusts screen brightness according to room brightness. Image on the screen can be viewed from 180 degrees. Its driver software works well under Windows 7 operating system.
Apart from good points, let’s focus on some of its not so good points. Screen of HP x2301 Micro Thin Monitor is just okay as reflections at the front of the screen is quite annoying. You can search out monitors in the market that comes with anti-reflective coatings. You will find so many controls in this monitor that cannot be understood by any typical buyer. Even its manual is quite complex to understand. Last option left with you is to Google out information in order to understand and implement all the controls of HP x2301 monitor.
Overall it is a nice monitor for video application and that too because of its fast refreshing rate. Photographer will definitely find it difficult to work with this monitor due to its limitation on producing true color images. Anti-reflective coating should be there to make HP x2301 Micro Thin LED Monitor little better.
Review of Apple TV

Waiting for a branded small Television? Well, the wait is over now as Apple has launched its first TV that is black in color and costs around $ 99. This television is a perfect example of how to put new ideas into product like this.
This Apple TV has a special feature called rental system using which you can watch your favorite TV shows by paying few dollars as rental charge. Another feature of this Apple TV is Airplay which allows its user to put audio or video content directly from your iPad, iPhone with a push of button. When you look at the Apple TV for the first time, you will see how small it is in size. This television stand at 0.9 inches off of the table/stand and weighs 0.6 pound only. So in one way we can say that new Apple TV solves the problem of fixing it in a shelf space.
This Apple product has less wiring option. If you look at the back side, you will find one Ethernet port, one HDMI port , micro USB jack, a sport for cable attachment and one audio hook-up. You can use all these ports to connect your Apple TV with other devices. It’s a wonder how Apple has put all necessary features inside this small product. Let’s discuss its internal parts in detail. It uses A4 CPU and this same chip is being used inside Apple iPhone 4, iPad and new iPad touch. It has RAM of approx 512 MB. Apart from wired internet option, this Apple TV also has an alternate option of Wi-Fi, hence giving its user multiple options to use the internet. You can not say product of Apple as crazy combination, though it contains a lot of features from Television point of view but its inexpensive hardware and good power for handling HD videos up to 720 pixel separates it from the rest of the televisions that are available in the market.
This Apple TV comes with very small size remote made up of aluminum. Because of its small size, it has less number of buttons as compared to other television remotes. It has got a play/pause key, menu key, four way buttons for channels and volume control along with one center button. Remote color is silver that may or may not match the color of Apple TV but that should not be the issue for its buyers as they should check out its features at the time of buying it rather than looking for matching colors of remote and Apple TV.
If you want to protect your TV from being used by others, you can set password too on your Apple TV. If you are iPod touch, iPhone or iPad user that you are among those lucky people who can use newly feature launched by Apple. You can control your Apple TV from virtual buttons or touch surface of your iPhone, iPad etc. This is the way Apple TV was made to get controlled.
Like other Apple product, this Television has got a lot of features for its users and once again Apple has proved its capability by making such an elegantly piece of technology that you would love to have and explore.

NEC MultiSync P221w Monitor Review
The NEC MultiSync P221W enjoys having wide viewing angles, perfect colors, a stout and easy-to-explore onscreen display, and many useful ergonomic options. Its cost is quite high.

NEC MultiSync LCD4290WUXi2 Monitor Review
This monitor has a glossy finish, which obstructs the detailed design work and makes color reproduction more complicated with strange metamerism and the like. Its contrast shift in darker areas is annoying when you look at it from a direction. It has a contrast ratio, a DVI port with HDCP support but no HDMI and a swerve of dedicated image dispensation and color calibration features.
NEC MultiSync PA241W Monitor Review
This monitor has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 and extra vertical space. It is a little more expert at photo editing etc. Its usual connections include a single DisplayPort and two dual-link DVI ports. There are three USB 2 downstream ports and two USB 2 upstream ports, so you can connect this monitor to two PCs. There is ample adjustment and the PA241W can turn around and slant. You can adjust its height also.
NEC Multisync EX231W Monitor Review
Supposedly, this is business-focused. This is a TN other than an IPS screen. It has lesser options for connectivity. Its svelteness arises from the verity that it is LED backlit, opposing the requirement for bulkier CCFL bulbs. It utilizes an external power supply, so a slender power cable has to be plugged into the rear. Its stand provides both height amendment and rotation.
NEC PA231W Monitor Review
This is latest NEC monitor. They are for color aficionados and in the professional market this monitor is entering a sector which has witnessed some exciting developments over last years. There are usual TN Film panels available and an influx in the higher end IPS based screens is there, owing mainly to the initiation of the so-called e-IPS technology.
