Pros: -Great LG IPS based panel, similar to the one in the iMac -Outstanding 8-bit Color -Extremely Bright (Can be bad to some) -No speakers (Can be bad to some) -OSD OMGGGG!!!! I'm new to the whole high end monitor thing, I have never spent more than 400 on a screen before this one, but the OSD is AMAZING. It is highly customizable with tons of in Depth Features. POWER LIGHT DISABLE IS FRIGGIN SWEET. -CABLE MANAGEMENT. Has some impressive cable management built into the stand (granted you don't have too much plugged into it) and built into the monitor for a webcam or a mic that would clam onto the top. -INPUTS. This thing has a ton of inputs, 2xDVI, HDMI, DP, YPbPr, Composite, S-Vid, and a 6 port USB hub!!! -High Quality Stand. Not anything insane, but does everything you would want in a stand and even comes with a little tray for trash to collect. -PIP .Pretty cool feature if you have a cable box hooked up, customizable positions and size, as well as POP (side by side).

Cons: -The PIP is ANALOG ONLY. In the OSD you can change b/w only component, s-video, and composite. I haven't checked to see if you can have PIP for an analog while using an analog. -GLOW. In low light situations, darks on the screen can have a glow on them when viewed from semi-extreme angles. This is the difference b/w this one and a 1000 dollar NEC. -GAMING. (not really a CON) I gamed Halo 3 for about 4 hours tonight on this thing to give it a good test drive. The size/brightness/color depth of this monitor make it almost an unfair advantage against others with crappier/smaller screens. Only problem I can see is that the response time is a little bit more laggy than in TN based panels, not a huge difference but a little noticeable. -SETUP. Out of the box it's picture isn't that great. First thing you need to do is switch the Color to Custom and leave it or tweak it a tiny bit, this will really bring out the colors and brightness. Then turn contrast/brightness down a tad. Suits m

Overall Review: I am coming from a Viewsonic 20" with an MVA panel. After a few weeks of comparing the different 24" TN based models made by Acer, Asus, whoeverelse, I found all of them to be extremely disappointing in person. TN panels of this size are terrible at delivering consistent lighting and color throughout the screen. It's tolerable on smaller screens (I work on two 19" TN panels at work), but on a screen this size it's hard to find a good spot where the entire screen looks good. So I finally decided to drop down the extra dough to get an IPS based panel and so far I don't regret it. You get what you pay for I highly recommend anyone who is on the fence about buying an IPS vs. a TN at 24" to just go for it. It's not worth spending 300 bucks only to leave yourself unsatisfied with a TN panel. Spend twice the amount and get twice the benefit.

Pros: Beautiful colors. Great viewing angels. Plays games and movies just fine. Excellent for photo editing. HP has wonderful customer service when needed (explained below).

Cons: Still has green to pink hue stock. Puts out lot of heat. You really need a calibrate or colors are too saturated.

Overall Review: I bought one afraid of getting the green to pink hue that many people were reporting. To my great luck I did receive such a monitor. After calling HP on a Thursday, they told me I could be having someone stopping by in the next one to two business days with a replacement. Someone from HP showed up the very next day. Dropped off a new one and took the old one back. The second one also had the same problem. Not as bad however. I read online that if you let the back panel get some back light hours it goes away. I let it run for 60 hours with no results. I called HP trying to find a solution. They have an automated responds from customer service. Go to the red custom color and turn it down. The problem is I need 6500k white balance. All this did was turn it another color. I got the Idea to turn all the colors to 150 and calibrate from that point. I no longer have any color casts. Monitor looks great!

Pros: Very sharp, great for Photoshop work, good gaming display. Calibrates easily. Great color, brightness and contrast. Very good software. Lots of inputs and USB ports. Very bright, I had to lower brightness and contrast in order to use it. This I see as a good thing because once the back light loses some of its brightness, I can just turn it up.

Cons: The first one completely died one week after getting it. The replacement was obviously a refurbished unit-it came with a dead pixel and what looks to be a hair sandwiched between the front surface a layer beneath.

Overall Review: I've very disappointed with this monitor, for close to 600 dollars I expect it work perfectly for a couple of years. I would much rather have had HP repair the first display than get a defective refurbished one.

Pros: Great value for a good LCD. Features a H-IPS matrix panel for better response on a IPS and almost rivals MVA in color range. I bought 2 since I do a lot of 3D work and wanted great monitors that wouldn’t tire my eyes out or color shift badly when viewed at a different angles. Plenty of inputs on the back, great for hooking it up to a Digital Tuner for TV or BlueRay. Great value and can be debated comparable to the Samsung its more expensive cousin. Consumes ~99 Watts and is very bright (lights up my whole room at night even at 20 Brightness).

Cons: Needs to be calibrated properly as its to greenish and red. I use Red 245 Green 235 Blue 242, Bright 20 Contrast 30. Not true wide screen (16:9) its 8:5 (1920x1200, 1680x1050, 1600x1000, 1400x900, 1280x800, 1024x640). Cables that come with it don’t measure 6’ tip to tip (DVI>VGA 70”, DVI>DVI 66”, DisplayPort 79”, HDMI 6’), you might have to buy DVI>DVI dependent on your desk setup. After power save mode you need to enter multiply inputs to get monitors out of sleep mode, and takes awhile to for it to “Turn on” and you may miss the BIOS screen to do setting changes. Response time isn’t as good as TN panels, but it doesn’t have the TN problems. Doesn’t make me eggs in the morning or get me a beer.

Pros: The construction is stable and sturdy. Design is very modest, which is a plus to me. Picture is sharp, easy on the eye after calibration. Brightness is even. This monitor has an H-IPS screen. This means there is no problem of vertical viewing angle, which plagues the TN panel. Sharp horizontal viewing angles have silvery overcast. There is no back light leaking. The monitor is quiet, and it does not produce excessive heat with appropriate brightness setting. This monitor is fast enough for gaming. Just be sure you have a video card that will run your games at 1900x1200. Colors are very accurate after calibration. Photographers-enthusiasts will be pleased, when editing their pictures. This is a wide color gamut monitor. It is a plus if you take pictures in AdobeRGB and print them with your printer. Otherwise it is a con.

Cons: This is a wide color gamut monitor. It is a minus if you are using applications, which are not color aware. PC games will have oversaturated colors, as well as pictures in almost all web browsers.

Overall Review: Wide color gamut is still a pain. Let's hope future Windows will be fully color aware. Gaming industry should notice this technology as well. Otherwise this is a great value.

Pros: Color rendition is excellent. Brightness is ridiculous (but can be toned down to a good level). Build quality and attention to detail are very good. Having a full 1200 pixel height is nice compared to most of the TV-spec panels out there for cheaper. Color adjustment controls built-in are quite good, and allow for very good color matching. Colors don't shift (although brightness goes down) when viewing off-angle. Stand is stable and easily adjustable through a large range of motion. Matte surface doesn't reflect ambient light like a gloss surface would.

Cons: Very expensive for what is ultimately a not-huge improvement over panels that cost 1/3 as much. No CF/SD card reader. USB hub ports are fiddly to reach without actually peering around the bezel. The stand is enormously deep -- good place to stick the laptop (a 15" MacBook Pro), but pretty annoying if I were using a desktop computer.

Overall Review: I bought this monitor for graphics and photography use, and am generally very pleased with it. I was surprised to find that the 2000-era Apple Cinema Display I upgraded from (which, granted, was a very fine, $2000-ish panel in its day) offered very similar quality, image-wise. This monitor didn't show any real jump in quality, beyond being a bit better at viewing off-angle.

Pros: It seems to be the least expensive 24" 1920x1200 *-IPS panel. Viewing angles, colors, responsiveness, connection options and overall features are pretty great. I can connect both my desktop and laptop through DVI, and (when using the laptop) adjust the height so that it is right above the laptop screen, giving a very comfortable dual-monitor experience.

Cons: I wish the stand could go a little bit higher for more flexible adjustments in portrait mode, but since the monitor is a widescreen, it is possibly too much to ask. It would also be nice if PIP was not limited to analog inputs. The brightness was set to 90 out of the box. It may be necessary to manually select an input if the monitor went to power save mode and you connected a new device to it.

Overall Review: It did not occur to me at the time of purchase, but sitting at a regular distance from this monitor can give better viewing angle and image quality than an average movie theater. While I realize this is not considered to be a "gaming" monitor, games do in fact look very good on it.

Pros: I spent a great deal of time researching before picking this monitor as it was the best thing that could be gotten for ~500 dollars, the next step up at the time was easily 1200 bucks. This monitor has both fast response time and little input lag for a IPS monitor. The colors are fantastic once you learn how to use color correction as this is a wide gamut monitor. Easily beats every screen I have seen in person to date other than some nifty 1200-2000 dollar screens and even then it is so close that the added cost doesn't make them worth it for my purposes. The stand is FANTASTIC, and totally worth an extra 100 bucks IMO. The input options are fantastic as well, I have several pieces of equipment hooked up to my primary LP2475W (bought two). I primarily use it for gaming and my father has used them extensively for photo editing. We are both quite positive these are some of the best monitors money can buy.

Cons: I know I said it is fast for an IPS, but coming from a high end CRT there is a noticeable lag at first. But I noticed that with any TFT panel, now over a year later I would be hard pressed to notice the lag between this and a fast 2ms TN type panel. Granted my CRT arguably still feels a tiny bit quicker. The only other thing I could complain about is the IPS white glow effect. Which is when viewing from wide angles the screen gets a "white glow" to it which appears like back light bleeding. This is normal for IPS monitors and only the super high end IPS displays have polarizing filters that eliminate it (they look amazing) but you also pay a huge premium to get that filter. TLDR; this monitor doesn't have any issues worth complaining about. Hands down the best monitor I have seen to date for the money.

Overall Review: The only thing that would make this better is a polarizing filter and RGB LED backlighting (aka the HP dreamcolor series 2k+ price tag).
