An Excellent Choice

HP 22" Active Matrix, TFT LCD WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 5 ms 1680 x 1050 D-Sub, DVI-D w2207

Pros: I recently purchased one of these to finally replace the 19" in my dual monitor setup, and all I can say is wow! I didnt purchase it from Newegg, but I figured I would share how great it is. First off, the colors are absolutely stunning and the blacks are very deep. I compared it in the store I purchased it from to some other brands and I think this blew them away. The monitor is also very adjustable which comes in very handy for me as I have to run two different size monitors on the same system, so I can sort of line them up better. It comes with both a DVI and VGA cable which was nice. It also came barricaded in protective covering, which is was also good to see as a lot of the monitor is a gloss finish.

Cons: The software that comes with is not the best, however you don't even need it. If you want to use the monitor vertically, you can press ctrl+alt+arrow keys to rotate your desktop. I know this shortcut works in Windows XP Pro, but I am not sure about any other operating system.

Overall Review: I do a lot of graphics and video editing, and I must say, I think I made an excellent choice in purchasing this monitor. It is an excellent product.

Fails with WEP

Cisco Small Business WET200 Wireless Bridge
Cisco Small Business WET200 Wireless Bridge

Pros: Unit seems to work well with WPA, havent had any issues getting it connect on my home network.

Cons: The purpose of this was to use in a business setting where we are restricted to using WEP encryption (older hardware that doesnt support WPA). I tried for quite some time to get this to work with WEP, but could not manage to get it on the network. I was able to configure the device properly, but it never recognizes that the network its connecting to is a security enabled network (as depicted in the site survey section of the web interface). I also had a another network engineer troubleshoot the device on a different WEP network, but he had the same frustrating results. While searching the internet for solutions to the problem, I came across other frustrated folks with the same issue. This seems to be a design flaw that Cisco has yet to address. We will be returning this device to find another that actually functions as described with the technologies we employ.
