This Monitors give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Excellent feature rich monitor with gorgeous picture and innovative stand
I have owned this monitor for about a month. I studied a few monitors at J&R and found this to have the picture with the nicest colors on a glossy display. I don't do photo editing as the man below so I can't comment on how accurate the colors are for exact photo editing. However the monitor is VERY adjustable and looks great to me. Their are a LOT of settings to adjust just about any aspect of the picture. And as I said I am not a professional photo/video editor so my opinion is just as an average computer user. I have owned about 7 LCD's and this is by far the nicest. And as long as the resolution is set to 1980 X 1200 you won't have any fuzzyness as described in the review below. I too run OS X on this monitor as well as Vista, and both set to the default resolution nicely and displayed well. I am running OS X on an ATI Radeon 3870 so perhaps the video card could be the difference. All monitors have had a fuzzy look for me in any Windows I have used when not set to the...
2. Huge Monitor But Colors Not Good for Professionals
I couldn't find a review of this monitor before purchasing it so I figured I would put a brief one together. The monitor looks good physically, very slick and pivots up/down and titles. Its black bezel is shiny and glossy. The bezel is mirror like an some could easily say overly gloss, it has a reflection rate which could be distracting for those sitting near windows and or light sources.
The monitors color calibration software is mediocre. After about an hour of calibration it was impossible to get the red properly corrected. The red is overly intense and bright. I would say it is too bright and intense. Calibration with the HP software was very limited. Also tried to correct the red with the video cards software which in my case is an ATI. No matter how and or what I tried I could not bring the intensity of the red down to an acceptable level without messing up the other colors.
The viewing angle on this monitor allows for about a 2 inch head pan to the right...

Good Monitor but has its flaws
After careful review I purchased this monitor a couple of months ago, and after daily use since then I can say it has its strengths and weaknesses.
First and most important is picture quality, it's a great picture, I have a Samsung 21 inch Syncmaster at work and while this HP isn't quite on par it's very close, lacking only in maybe sharpness. Of course the size is a draw, it's huge, and great for watching movies, etc. The fit and finish of the monitor itself is top notch, it looks great even when turned off. The integrated card reader is cool, works perfectly and the ability to turn the monitor into basically a giant digital picture frame with a dedicated remote is cool, but a little gimmicky imho. A big plus for me was the integrated webcam, it's nice not having another peripheral to hook up and install and the picture quality is good. Another great feature is the work light underneath the monitor bezel, it has three brightness settings and casts a warm light over...
