HP has unveiled a new 0.4-inches (1 cm) thick 22-inch monitor called L2201X. The monitor builds on a VA panel with LED backlight.

HP’s new monitor is amongst the slimmest today and it even features a VA panel that ensures better picture quality than the typical TN based monitors that are dominating today.

The design is made in a glossy black finish with a tilt stand on the back. Because the monitor is extremely slim HP has found it necessary to put inputs on the side of the frame instead of on the back. Here you find 1 DisplayPort and one headphone jack.
