HP's 2310e is less than an inch thick, packs 1080p display, asks for $289 tithe

After the 2310m comes the, erm, 2310e. HP has put its 1080p-resolving 23-inch monitor on a strict training regimen and returned with this new unit that checks in at under an inch in thickness. The 2310e brings as much gloss as a humanoid can handle, even going so far as to replace the usual buttons with touch-sensitive light-up controls. Speaking of light, the jumbo HP logo on the back blossoms in a lustrous white when you turn it on. If that doesn't curb your enthusiasm for this cake slicer, you'll want to know it has DVI-D, HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, 250 nits of brightness, a 5ms response time, and an admittedly meaningless 8,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Price is set at $289 and US availability is expected on September 29th.

Looks impressive Prakash and would be great for watching movies on, add to it the style and what seems a reasonable price and they are on to a winner, not sure i like the idea of the hp logo lighting up at the pack but i will not be looking there, 23 inch monitor is good enough for me, so i would consider this for myself, but as it's not available yet i would wait and read the reviews to help me decide if i would change or not.

Looks very nice! I've had a 22" monitor for about 4 years now, but I paid a wee bit more than $289 for it.

seems quite pricy John as the equivelent here was about 130 euro about 169 dollars, depending on the make of course, as my partner's was LG, my first was 15" Dell flat screen

I remember when 20 plus inch flat screens first came out, they were very expensive, so when they dropped to the $300 range I bought one. Now of course, they are even cheaper yet. I agree that the HP model is a bit pricey, and I know a person could do better somewhere else, like NewEgg.

I'll admit, my monitor is thicker then that... and I paid more, but I can do Component in, VGA/DVI/ in, Digital audio In/Out, two HDMI in, a Satellite/Cable in, and headphone out.... a lot. It's actually meant to be a TV, but I'm using it for a monitor. For about $400.

Now, if I can get the model up... then I also get RCA connections too. And two DVI in. I'm using a Samsung... though I forget the model number. Once I get that, I'll post which one it is... but that will be tomorrow lol.

For all that functionality, $400 still isn't a bad price. I never considered using a TV as a pc monitor. Interesting concept, I might have to look into it further for my new PC.

I use a 24' monitor so I can see. Old age = weak eyes. Plus it's great for graphics.
I paid a lot less on a closeout deal, but it doesn't have all of the goodies of this one.
I'll wait until the price drops, though, as that is a bit pricey for a 24" monitor.
Nice find!

It's got the ports... might as well

T240 HD is the model number, and I've seen it as Costco for about $300.

Thanks for the info Paul. Will definitely check it out, when I start building my new PC. Hopefully this winter.
