A 20-inch sporting a 1,600 by 900 resolution through its LED-backlit, IPS display, the HP ZR2040w ($189 list) packs features like an anti-glare screen, one-click easy setup and more. The monitor also boasts multiple display inputs and an environmentally-safe design among other features.

Design and Features
The ZR2040w was designed with a black, brushed aluminum finish, and its frame measures 1.87 inches thin. That frame rests on a flat stand that can tilt the bezel 5 degrees downward and up to 30 degrees upward. The anti-glare screen within the display also sports a 178-degree viewing angle both horizontally and vertically. One DisplayPort input, one DVI-D port and a VGA input are tucked behind the IPS screen.

HP packed a 7 millisecond response time and a 1,000 to 1 static contrast ratio inside the 20-inch display. The monitor was also put through mission-critical testing, and was crafted using 25 percent recycled resin.

Keeping with the goal of environmental friendliness, the ZR2040w was built both BFR and PVC-free. This monitor uses an 85 percent efficient power supply that draws 33W of power at maximum. Thanks to this and other features, the ZR2040w is Energy Star qualified.
