HP just announced the company’s first Internet monitor, on its official website. The device is practically a desktop monitor with a power-efficient computer system inside.
While not running a full-blown operating system like Windows or Android, HP’s Passport 1912nm comes with standard SmartTV-like capabilities. It has a browser that’s Adobe Flash-certified and a multimedia player that can display pictures and play music.
HP’s Passport 1912nm features a mediocre 1366 x 768 pixel resolution and a 600:1 real contrast rate.

Texas Instruments’ OMAP4430 is a 45 nm processor that operates at 1 Ghz and is a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore with Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) architecture.
The integrated POWERVR SGX540 graphics accelerator drives 3D gaming and 3D user interfaces, but that’s not the case for HP’s Passport 1912nm.
We would have enjoyed some Angry Birds on the new Passport 1912nm, but internet browsing and media playing will have to suffice.

HP’s Passport 1912nm comes bundled with a USB keyboard and a mouse and also has a five-port USB HUB and a 4-in-1 card reader.
All of this can be acquired for “just” $259, which is about €205 for the European buyers.
We believe that HP’s Passport 1912nm is a good innovative device that allows the user to save on power and enjoy lower heat dissipation.
In hot summer days, a computer generating 300 watts of heat will only make your room hotter and increase the power bill by another 300 watts from the air conditioning, making you pay double.
The entire device weighs in at 3.65 Kg and consumes a maximum of 50 watts. That’s about 8 pounds and it comes also with a 3-year warranty.
