Hewlett-Packard on Wednesday unveiled its newest , the HP 2310e, a 23-inch LCD monitor that's less than an inch thick. The 2310e can also utilize ATI's technology for spreading screen images across up to six displays, a boon for gamers.

The 2310e measures 16.46 by 21.97 by 0.53 inches. Its extremely thin profile is partly due to the use of WLED backlights, which are smaller than the cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) used in many other LCD monitors. The screen has a resolution of 1,920-by-1,080 (1080p) and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It can be tilted but can't pivot or be rotated from a landscape to a portrait view. The screen has a 8,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and a 70 percent Color Gamut.

Ports include HDMI, DVI-D, and Displayport (which can support multiple video streams). A DVI-D cable is bundled in, but not an HDMI cable. There is a capacitive touch strip on the bezel that allows access to the onscreen display, which lets you control its brightness, contrasts, or other functions such as the Movie or Gaming optimized QuickView settings.

HP took pains to point out its continued commitment to the environment with its products, and the 2310e is no different. The chassis is made of BFR/PVC-free plastic that's recyclable, and the screen is made of arsenic-free glass. It's also RoHS and Energy Star 5.0 certified.

The HP 2310e will retail for $289 in stores.
