5 out of 5 stars Just beautiful...   November 12, 2008
E. Moll (Chicago, IL USA)
I bought this monitor, notwithstanding the other two not-so-stellar reviews to date, based on a large number of excellent reviews from two other on-line vendors. It turns out that the monitor is cheaper on Amazon (and I get free 2-day shipping).

I have not been disappointed. Very sharp, great color, brightness and contrast, a piece of cake to install, very clean look (with no useless speakers). While the monitor is 24-inches, it conserves space on my desk below bookshelves due to a thin bezel. The stand is sturdy. While it isn't the cheapest 24-inch monitor, I don't think there is currently a competitor with the 178 degree viewing angles, 500 cd/m2 brightness level, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, outstanding color reproduction, 6ms response time and anti-glare/antistatic screen at this price-level. It may be over-kill for office work, but if I'm going to be looking at this monitor for 9+ hours/day, I might as well get a nice one!



2 out of 5 stars Great picture, lousy service   September 3, 2008
G. Conner (Providence, RI)
The monitor has a beautiful, crisp image. Perfect for my work (CAD, development, web surfing). It also has a neat feature: it will accept 2 DVI inputs from 2 computers and then allows you to toggle between computers with a button on the front panel. Sadly, this feature stopped working after roughly 8 months of use.

When I called HP to claim a warranty repair, I was transferred to a service agent in another country. After 20 minutes of repeating and correcting serial numbers/model numbers I was told that this monitor was not in their database and therefore I could not be helped. What the heck! I offered to email pictures of the model number sticker, fax copies of the invoice, etc. All to no avail, the "service" representative declined my request to speak with a manager to resolve the issue. So I guess I'm just stuck with a half-broken product.

In the end, it's still a nice monitor, but I'm frustrated with the lack of customer service.



3 out of 5 stars two DVI but only one USB   May 22, 2007

This monitor is incapable of functioning as KVM switch replacement, because there is only one USB input.

If you play games this monitor isn't for you. Some reviews indicate that it is unable to support even 60 frames/sec. A decent CRT has no problem with >100 frames/sec.
