On October 25,2009, I bought a HP Pavilion p6230y. I have been using it for about three months now so I thought I would let you know how I like it. The package I bought from Best Buy included the HP Pavilion p6230y (including keyboard and mouse), a HP 2009m Monitor and a HP D2680 Multifunction Printer.

The HP 2009m monitor is fantastic except for one thing. If you like to be able to get high volume for your music or games, you can’t get it with the speakers built into this monitor. I don’t normally listen to music but am listening to a song to be able to describe it to you. My hearing is fine and the volume setting is at 100%. The amount of sound being produced is comfortable for me, just about right. However, I don’t like loud sounds. I got way to much of that when I was working testing small arms. If you like to hear your music in the next room you will need external speakers. Other than that I love the monitor. It is wide screen and has about the best display I have ever had on a monitor and I go way back to the TRS-80 days in computing. I can’t praise this monitor enough except for the volume output.
