This Monitors give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Very good text and graphics - top in its class
I bought this HP ZR2440w LED IPS Monitor (Product No. XW477A8) about a month ago directly from HP for $399. I also considered the 24" Dell U2412M that I already had (and still have) with my other computer, but decided to give ZR2440w a try (although I could have bought the Dell for $100 less on sale at that time) because ZR2440w has an HDMI input port (Dell U2412M does not) and my Windows 7 laptop only has VGA and HDMI out but no DVI-D. I would have to go from the laptop HDMI to the DVI-D on the Dell monitor (or from VGA to VGA), which is OK but not the best way (I tried it, and it seemed less sharp). ZR2440w also got slightly better reviews for text, contrast, and black color depths. Very few computer monitor reviewers on the Internet comment on text quality, as if nobody reads or writes any more. I like watching pictures and videos on my PC, but I also use it a lot for reading and writing in a web browser, Word, Excel, Outlook email, etc., and text quality is very important to me,...
2. Flawless out of the box
Bought this to replace a 21" CRT (remember those?) that finally died, and because I do a lot of photo editing I wanted good color rendition.
Hooked it up to a W7 PC via the DVI-D connector, and it came up at the max resolution by itself, no drivers required. I set the brightness down to 30% though, as recommended by various articles; much better! No dead/stuck pixels, very quick warmup. I don't share some people's strong concerns about the anti-glare coating; although I can see its "sparkly" effect on e.g. white backgrounds if I look closely, it looks no different from many other LCD screens I have worked with. Perhaps lowering the brightness to 30% negates some of those issues? Anyway, not an issue for me, for sure.
I ran though the Lagom LCD calibration images (just Google that) and the monitor passed with flying colors right out of the box. I tried installing the calibrated color profile for the 30% brightness/80% contrast settings I found on one of those web...

Beautiful Image
Upgraded from a Samsung 215TW 21" 1680x1050 VGA monitor. The ZR2440w @ 1920x1200 feels very expansive. The brightness, color, and clarity are great!
The out of box experience was great, and the monitor stand seems stable and easy to use. However, since I wanted to be able to rotate the display
(landscape to portrait) easily, I had to fuss with the cable dressing to avoid any binding when rotating.
I powered off my Win7 Thinkpad and rebooted with the new monitor on the DisplayPort. Win7 recognized it right away, and configured for it's maximum
resolution and refresh rate. I didn't have to use any of the supplied HP software, and generally prefer not using device manufacturer's SW unless
absolutely necessary.
This was my first DisplayPort device and it caught me by surprise. Unlike VGA, DisplayPort includes an Audio device as well as a Video device. Thus
Win7 happily created a new AudioDevice for the monitor and set it up as my Default...
