HP 2310e Full HD LCD display due for $289

HP has outed its latest LCD display, the 2310e, a 23-inch ultra-thin widescreen display. The HP 2310e runs at Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution with an 8,000,000 dynamic contrast ratio and 250 nits brightness; it gets DVI-D and HDMI inputs together with DisplayPort.

HP reckons the new panel is good for 70-percent of the color gamut, meaning it falls short of the company's DreamColor monitors but is still impressive for a home/office display. It tilts on the detachable stand, but it's worth noting that there's no VESA mount on the back.

Still, using a third-party mount would mean you couldn't see the illuminated HP logo on the back, and we wouldn't want that. The HP 2310e will go on sale on September 29th, priced at $289.
