The HP LI710 is a non widescreen monitor with a maximum resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. Its support stand is sturdy and unique as instead of having to attach it to the main display like other monitors, the whole stand is permanently attached and can be rotated from its pivot toward the screen making this monitor safe. The monitor cruised through the Displaymate benchmark coming second to the ViewSonic monitor in terms of degree of errors in color regeneration.

In video playback, the monitor showed excellent blacks with great contrast making the colors also look more natural. The problem came when we played some High Def content on it; the non widescreen display stretched the video vertically leading to pixilation at certain points. However, this should be the least of your concerns if you are buying it for office use. As it's not a widescreen, you don't get the luxury of switching lots of open windows easily. But it more than makes up for that through its performance.
