About this product
The HP LCD8500 is a 1U rack-mountable console kit with an 18.5-inch LCD display and integrated keyboard. It has a resolution of 1600x1200, 60Hz refresh rate, and 187 cd/m² brightness. The display is silver and designed for data center or server room use. Ideal for managing multiple servers in a rack environment.
Our take
The HP LCD8500 is a purpose-built rack console for server management. The 18.5" screen with 1600x1200 resolution is sufficient for command-line work and system monitoring. Build quality is sturdy as expected from HP enterprise gear. The integrated keyboard and touchpad save space in a rack. However, brightness at 187 nits is quite low, making it hard to read in bright rooms. Refresh rate is 60Hz, fine for text but not for any gaming. It's not a consumer monitor—it's for IT professionals who need a compact KVM solution. Priced at $265, it's reasonable for enterprise use but overkill for home.
