HP does it again with their LP3065 monitor. Its 30" of widescreen real estate runs at a 2560x1600 resolution. Three dual-link DVI-D connectors let you watch movies in full HD. The panel has a 300cd/m² brightness rating and a 1000:1 contrast ratio for a truly cinema-like experience. A handy button on the front of the monitor lets you switch between your computer, high-def DVD player and your cable or satellite box.
When it's time to get back to business, the monitor also functions as a four port USB hub with the downstream ports conveniently located on the side of the monitor. Positioning the monitor comfortably for all day use is important, that’s why the base has height, tilt and swivel adjustments.
The LP3065 supports desktop, wall, and swing arm mounting; the integrated power supply eliminates bulky "power bricks" and improves cable management, allowing you to minimize desktop clutter and mount the monitor flush with the wall.
Pros: Calibrates to 110 cd/m^2 no problem!!! Native gamma is closer to what I get out of a print than other displays I've owned. Average DE is between 0.4 and 0.6 and Max DE is usually below 1.0. For greys DE is very very very good at max luminance and increases as you go down in luminance (after 64, 64, 64 it starts creeping up). Extended gamut seems to be a pro so far. I was worried that the extended DE between colors might make it more difficult to adjust skin tones but that hasn't been my experience so far. I know that can be an issue with the super high gamut displays. I'm still getting to know this monitor so my opinion may change as time goes on but so far so good.
Cons: Luminance isn't perfectly uniform across the screen. Towards the center where I do all of my work it's fine. I mostly notice a difference on the right hand side of the screen for an area that's about an inch wide. Given the way I use this monitor I'm really not too concerned. There is no OSD. Given that the only control is for luminance (as it should be for a TFT unless you're talking about a screen with at least a 12 bit LUT and some careful attention to detail of implementing DDC/ci) it's not a big deal but it would be nice to have. Native Gamma is about 5900°K as measured by an Eye One Display (using Eye One Match and Color Eyes Pro). I would have preferred a native gamma that's a little cooler (6500°K would have been ideal).
Other Thoughts: HP claims it is DDC/ci compatible. ColorEyes did not recognize it as such but this may be due to my video card. Also, this screen takes about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes until the luminance stabilizes (Integrated Color who makes the Color Eyes calibration software tells me this is fairly normal for a high end screen in their experience). Just something to be aware of, don't try and calibrate it right out of the box or you'll be left scratching your head when you find that 45 minutes later the luminance has crept up by 30 cd/m^2, let it warm up a bit.

Best Monitor I have Owned
Reviewed By: jason on 3/27/2007
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: I did a significant amount of research before purchasing this monitor, and I believe it to be the best 30 inch on the market.
The resolution is great, and the 92% NTSC color gamut is awesome. Although it did take some getting used to since greens are much more vibrant. DVDs look perfect. I don't notice ghosting when playing 3D shooters (doom3, q4, etc)
The multiple DVI inputs and USB switch box are a nice feature if you have multiple workstations. There aren't many dual-link switch boxes out there, and if you compare the prices, the monitor is the lower cost option.
I primarily use this monitor for work purposes (software engineering), so the 2560x1600 resolution is big gain. In the past I had used dual monitor setups, but it was always annoying to find yourself staring at the large divider between the screens. So even though you have more real estate with the dual head setups, having such a high resolution on a single head is much nicer to look at.
Cons: The cons are:
1) Price - very expensive 2) Poor single link support - It only supports one single link resolution - 1280x800. This prevents using any of the DVI ports for any common consumer players like HD players, PS3s, etc which output 1920x1080. So you only want to run this monitor on dual-link devices. 3) No HDCP support (in the documentation). Unfortunately I can not test this since my video card (nvidia 8800) does not support HDCP over dual-link. 4) No OSD
Other Thoughts: So in summary, this monitor is great for high-end computer connectivity. Although not a good multipurpose multimedia solution. I should note that all other 30s that are currently available at the time of this review have the same issue. That said, I consider this to be the best monitor that I have owned, primarily since it fits my needs perfectly.

Pros: There is a reason this monitor is still on the market...
Zero dead pixels, excelent response time, little to no input lag, Exellent color representation. The absolute best 30' monitor for FPS gaming hands down...
Cons: Well who wants to pay over a grand for a monitor? Well worth it in my opinion but it's still an eletist purchase...
Other Thoughts: I was able to record my old Samsung 22' LCD and my very old Samsung 21' CRT running beside this monster. I wanted to determine the input lag since this was intended as a gaming monitor for my new rig. I was amazed to see the LP3065 tie or beat the daylights out of my old CRT (which should have less input lag) in various tests. And the difference between my old LCD was truly ridiculous, almost double the difference from my CRT.
Truly this is a gamers 30'!
I used the x-rite color calibration software/hardware to set the color temperatures and even though the monitor is lacking the usual manual adjustment capability seen in just about every other monitor it still calibrated nicely. In fact, out of the box it was really close to being calibrated already.
With AMD's Eyefinity out lots of folks are turning to multi-monitor setups. Waste of money if you ask me. The bezels get in the way and your Field Of View is pretty much maxed out by one of these monitors, so why settle?

Nice upgrade

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: 1. Excellent color and brightness. Anti-glare makes it perfect for office or other poorly lit environments.
2. Impossible to describe how much screen real-estate there is at 2560x1600. This replaced a 24" WUXGA LCD, which was great for working with 2 apps/documents at a time. With this I can work with 3-4 apps/documents at a time before I resort to switching on my secondary display.
3. Stand is nice and stable, and the height adjustment goes from basically sitting on the desk to being able to put a glass of water under it. Tray in the stand makes a good place to stash post-it notes, pens, or store your wireless keyboard when not in use.
4. Very fine brightness adjustment.
Cons: 1. No OSD for brightness adjustment, even at native resolution. Not a huge problem, but still surprising.
2. Cable channel covers in the base are really stiff making using them more difficult than it should be. An interesting idea, but I think it's time HP copy their competition and just make a couple of holes in their bases to route cables through.
Other Thoughts: I don't seem to have any of the heat issues that others have, although I only run it at around 50% brightness. It certainly doesn't put out as much heat as my 32" LCD HDTV.
I combined this with an inexpensive and power efficient AMD/ATI 4670 GPU which drives this monitor just fine for full screen video and desktop use.

No regrets

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Big. Relatively inexpensive. Big. Good quality stand. Came with two of the difficult-to-find dual link DVI cable. Big! Pretty good colors. Zero dead pixels. Let's see...what else...oh yeah...it's really big!
Cons: No hardware calibration. anti-glare coating is noticable when trying to examine fine detail in images. Maybe a bit too bright. Uses as much electricity as, and sometimes more than, my 21" CRT. Had to buy a new video card, but that was only forty bucks for a Sparkle 9400GT with 1GB of RAM and passive cooling. Plays movies just fine, no noise, and I don't have to worry about a failed fan. I guess I can't complain...much.
Other Thoughts: I was using a 21" CRT at 1600 x 1200. Text size on this monitor is exactly the same as my CRT, but sharper, so I got no complaints on text size.
I adjusted the colors using the nVidia control panel. I dropped the Digital vibrance to 45, and red channel brightness to 47. I compared the colors to some large prints, as well as various objects on my desk. colors look acceptably accurate.
It's very bright and I keep the brightness turned down all the way.
The anti-glare covering is bad if you're performing critical reviews of image detail.
I'm a computer programmer. I used to have three 21" CRTs attached to my computer, but they've burned out over the years. My current monitor is on its way out, and 21" CRTs are becoming hard to find, so I decided to drop the bucks on this monitor. Now I'm kicking myself for not having done this years ago! This thing is amazing. All I need now are two more :P
Dropped one egg for the anti-glare coating. Otherwise, a great monitor!
