HP: Takin' care of business

The most powerful system is functionally useless without a way to display its data. With LCD panels getting cheaper with time, there is really no reason to return to the old chunky CRT monitor.

In conjuction with the new desktops, HP has introduced three new panels for the corporate cubicle. The basic 19-inch model offers good value for money, while the 20.1-inch L2045w display offers dual input options. The flagship unit--HP LP3065--is a huge 30-inch panel with high-end features and integrated USB hub. Except for the 30-inch model, HP LCD panels supports a HP Quick Release desgin which allows the display to be easily configured for wall-mounting or to be put on a stand.
