HP Compaq LA2405wg Monitor – 24-Inch WUXGA 1920×1200, DisplayPort, Adjustable Stand

HP Compaq LA2405wg Monitor

The HP Compaq LA2405wg Monitor is a refurbished 24-inch business display with a WUXGA resolution of 1920 × 1200, a productivity-friendly 16:10 aspect ratio and a fully adjustable stand. It is particularly useful for office work, accounting, spreadsheets, coding, research and other tasks where additional vertical screen space makes a noticeable difference.

Unlike a standard 24-inch Full HD monitor with a resolution of 1920 × 1080, the LA2405wg gives you 120 additional vertical pixels. That provides approximately 11% more total screen space, allowing more spreadsheet rows, document text, webpage content or lines of code to remain visible without constant scrolling.

More Vertical Space with 1920 × 1200 WUXGA

The main advantage of this HP 24-inch monitor is its 1920 × 1200 WUXGA resolution. Both WUXGA and Full HD displays are 1920 pixels wide, but the LA2405wg has a taller 1200-pixel workspace and a 16:10 aspect ratio.

The difference may sound small, but it becomes useful when you open a large Excel sheet, review a long document or work with code and a console on the same screen. The extra height also makes toolbars and menus feel less restrictive because they take up a smaller proportion of the available workspace.

• View more spreadsheet rows without scrolling
• See more of long webpages and documents
• Keep more coding lines visible at once
• Work comfortably with accounting and business software
• Fit two windows side by side for everyday multitasking

Clear 24-Inch Business Display

The HP LA2405wg uses a 24-inch TN TFT LCD panel with a typical brightness of 300 nits, a 1000:1 static contrast ratio and a 5ms response time. Text appears clear at its native resolution, while the anti-glare surface helps reduce reflections in normal office environments.

Its 60Hz refresh rate is suitable for office applications, browsing, learning, video playback and general computer use. The monitor can also handle casual games, although it is not intended to replace a modern high-refresh gaming display.

The TN panel provides fast response and good brightness for business use. However, it does not offer the same wide-angle colour consistency as a modern IPS panel, so users doing colour-critical photography or professional print design may prefer an IPS display.

DisplayPort, DVI-D and VGA Connectivity

The HP Compaq LA2405wg supports three display connections, making it compatible with both older business computers and systems equipped with DisplayPort.

• 1 × DisplayPort
• 1 × DVI-D
• 1 × VGA

All three connections support the monitor’s native 1920 × 1200 resolution at 60Hz when used with compatible computer hardware and cables.

This model does not have a native HDMI input. A computer with HDMI can still be connected using a suitable HDMI-to-DVI adapter or cable. Because DVI carries video rather than audio on this monitor, sound must be handled separately.

Built-In USB Hub

A built-in USB 2.0 hub provides two downstream USB ports for compatible peripherals such as a keyboard, mouse or flash drive. The monitor also has one USB upstream connection.

To activate the downstream ports, the monitor’s upstream USB port must first be connected to a USB port on the computer. The display cable alone does not activate the USB hub.

Fully Adjustable Ergonomic Stand

The sturdy business-grade stand can be adjusted to suit different desks and working positions. It supports approximately 120mm of height adjustment, tilt from -5° to 30°, wide swivel adjustment and 90-degree pivot rotation.

Portrait orientation is useful for reading long documents, writing code, reviewing webpages or displaying vertically arranged information. After rotating the monitor, the screen orientation must also be changed in the computer’s display settings.

• Height adjustment: Up to approximately 120mm
• Tilt: -5° to 30°
• Swivel: Approximately -170° to 170°
• Pivot: 90° portrait rotation

VESA Monitor-Arm Support

The stand can be removed to expose a standard 100 × 100mm VESA mounting pattern. This allows the HP LA2405wg to be installed on a compatible monitor arm, wall mount or multi-monitor stand.

Its combination of DisplayPort connectivity, portrait rotation and VESA support also makes it a practical option for a dual-monitor office setup.

Refurbished Business Monitor

This unit is refurbished and tested for normal display operation. As a refurbished monitor, it may have minor cosmetic marks from previous use, but these do not prevent normal operation.

The exact included video cable and cosmetic condition can vary between individual units. Confirm the included accessories, current warranty and availability with Shah Computers before ordering.
