HP LP2465 24" WUXGA 1920 x 1200 DVI LCD Monitor with Height & Pivot Adjustments

Pros: Screen looks great. Stand articulates nicely for such an inexpensive monitor. The added USB ports and extra DVI port is a nice touch.

Cons: The packaging is terrible. I bought 2 of these, 1 had color issues while the other works great! A quick online chat with CS, RMA was emailed to me and free shipping back!

Overall Review: Did I mention the packaging sucks?

Pros: None.

Cons: Unit was DOA. No power, nothing. I should have heeded the warnings in the reviews, but I thought I could get a top-notch monitor for a cheap price. Cost significantly more to send it back to Newegg than I paid for shipping (~35 bucks), making the total cost more than the risk is worth. No matter how good this screen might be, it's worthless when it's broken.

Overall Review: The packing of the monitor was a joke. The screen was literally face down in a box with the stand thrown on top and a few inflated packing bubbles on top, and the box hadn't even been sealed properly, so you could see into the box and tell that it was a monitor.

Pros: This is a monitor that was released back in 2006 for a rather hefty price at the time, given the 1920x1200 resolution and non-TN (S-PVA Samsung) panel. Even today, however, those two qualities command a substantial price tag, which leads some people to this refurbished deal. Let's try to sum it up as to what makes this nice: 1. Generally highest (1920x1200) resolution available for a 24" monitor. 2. High quality S-PVA panel which is extremely bright with vivid colors. This is not some shoddy TN. I have not observed any ghosting in my gameplay. 3. Solid stand that allows for both landscape and portrait 4. Relatively slim bezels on the sides and top/bottom. Uniform all around, allowing for unimpeded side by side stacking in portrait mode. 5. Silver bezel. This is especially a rarity nowadays for a reason listed in cons, but this is also a pro for some people, particularly for WAF and Eyefinity reasons. 6. Price! You'd be hard pressed to get a similar brand new TN panel at this po

Cons: 1. The packaging. I don't know what HP refurb team was thinking (or drinking) when they decided to use this as the method of shipping out refurbished monitors. Somehow these monitors have to survive a trip from HP to the warehouse, then from warehouse to you, while being protected just by the walls of the cardboard box on 3 sides of the monitor. Oh, and the boxes are often ripped due to the spring loaded mount stretching them out. Just hope that yours comes in fine! 2. The panels are unlikely to be "new". They will have a lot of hours on the panels and the backlights, which again depends on your luck. I do not know however if the electronics controls this data, or the panel itself, as in the former case, panels may actually be new. 3. No HDCP. 4. Silver bezel arguably means lower perceived contrast on the display itself compared to black bezel. This is debatable, and you might not care. 5. As usual with refurbs, expect some minor cosmetic damage. 6. Does not fetch beer for you.

Overall Review: There are three versions you might get, ending in 110, 120, and 130, as visible from the information menu. There are some OSD differences between them, but nothing major that I've noticed yet. The 130 that I got listed 0 hours on it, but I also got a 110 and 120, both with comparable number of hours on them.

Pros: Impressive image performance. This S-PVA panel puts my HP w2207h's TN panel to shame. Zero dead or stuck pixels.

Cons: Very shoddy packing...easily the worst I have ever seen. Monitor shipped in large brown box with one 1" Styrofoam sheet and three of those air-filled plastic bags for padding. Back of monitor panel and stand are scratched from bouncing around in the box, I presume. One corner of panel is cracked with a small chip missing. Quick release mechanism tab was completely broken off, so while the stand is usable it cannot be locked to the panel. Backlight usage is well over 5,000 hours.

Overall Review: I have usually had good luck with refurbished buys, but this one not so much. The monitor looks more like used equipment. I see no evidence of any "refurbishing". Since my only recourse is return for replacement, I am reluctantly keeping it. I am afraid I may end up in worse shape if I choose to not keep this one.

Pros: None. I bought 2, 1 has multiple bruises, the other doesn't work at all!

Cons: You've got to be kidding me! Where's the quality control? Monitors arrived in pretty well packed boxes (see pic in add), but as above severe brusing in center of screen on one, and the 2nd one doesn't work at all. Powers up but screen distorted and a mess! No excuse for this garbage!

Overall Review: The owner who says contact HP for repair? Good luck with that. I tried and gave HP the s/n and they said that it was not under warranty and that they had nothing to do with the recert. This is just unreal. No way should this piece of junk have ever made it into a box for sale in this condition. Newegg you are the pits! I'll never buy another thing here again --and I've been a customer for years and $$$. There is just no excuse. What's recertified supposed to mean? You might expect a reasonable quality product, and not two faulty pieces of junk! --oh yeah, can you tell I'm not happy?!!! MINUS eggs if I could!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros: Great monitor for absolutely great price.

Cons: Probably will have some issues since they are refurbs.

Overall Review: If you get one of these that have a defect, just contact HP support. Don't call NewEgg! HP considers this an enterprise product and as such has a completey different level of support than a consumer product. A full 90-day warranty is included with this product. I bought mine and it had a "bruise" in the center of the screen. Instead of having NewEgg ship me another risky one with a lot of hours on them (mine had 20K power-on hours) I called HP support. HP sent out a service tech to my house with a completely new panel that had ONLY 4 POWER-ON HOURS on it and replaced it on the spot. This took only 2 days from when I called HP to when I got it replaced. HP Rocks!!!

Pros: High end monitors well worth the price -- if they worked. No problem getting RMA and free return shipping. Supposedly, I will be receiving two replacements.

Cons: Awful packing. First had shattered LCD screen -- box did not look real bad. Second, front bezel cracked and the On Screen Menu buttons on the bezel did not function -- box looked bad -- also, downloaded HP software used to adjust color/etc did not work.

Overall Review: A travesty that monitors should be sent out like this. They are not truly refurbished. They are used and poorly packaged. An extra dollar or three per package of inspection and packing materials would have avoided all this -- I would have been happy to pay the difference. Tried downloading HP drivers, manual, etc to get the second one working -- no dice. Need to adjust color for my "Eyefinity" 3 monitor set up.

Pros: Great screen, arrived with only one mark in it about 1/8th the size of a pencil eraser. I was worried it would be some dead pixels but once I fired it up it vanished. Maybe it was my imagination? Great resoultion for the size. Was worried about gaming performance but I haven't noticed anything off-putting as of yet. That being said I have not played any fps on it.

Cons: This doesn't go against Newegg but the previous owners had all the settings maxed out...sort of like a kid turning all the knobs up on his stereo because he thinks more is better. It nearly burned a hole in my eyes. Once I downloaded the HP Assistant software from HP and got it all calibrated, the colors were beautiful.

Overall Review: This isn't a con as much as it is a note (as it is used afterall): mine registered 17,000 hours usage but only 740 hours backlight time. Minor cosmetic wear on the bezel, but I rarely find myself staring at those things when I'm working or gaming. 4.5 Eggs-I deducted half an egg because I highly doubt these were "re-" anything. Looks like they bought a lot at auction or something and threw them quickly into boxes with light packing...but IMO it was good enough. So far so good, will post later if anything comes up. Thanks Newegg-
