HP L1520 D5063A
The HP features a large base, and the display is fixed very high-only the Philips stands taller, and only when it's in portrait mode. The display can also be tilted back a fair bit, but won't tilt forward very far. It is also one of the heaviest displays-the chances of it tipping over are very low. The base has a neat handle so you can easily carry the display around. This monitor has single DVI and VGA connectors.
The display quality was quite good in analog mode, and in digital it was excellent. Images appeared extremely clear as did text and fine lines, but what was most impressive were the vivid colours. There was some vertical distortion but it was minor compared to some of the other displays.
