The "HP monitor" query covers HP's display range, and the product facts we could confirm describe the HP 27f, a 27-inch IPS monitor with a 1920 x 1080 resolution and a 48 Hz to 75 Hz refresh rate. Thinvent does not manufacture monitors. Thinvent makes industrial computers, mini PCs, thin clients and all-in-one PCs, so the closest Thinvent match is a computer that drives a display, such as the Thinvent Treo Mini PC.
