HP (Hewlett-Packard) LP2465 24" LCD Monitor

Excellent Value

Strengths: Great picture, color, response, design.

Weakness: Not for those who may have eye problems since native resolution is 1200 X 1960.

Easy out of the box setup – great picture after adjusting the brightness down to 5 & contrast to 10! No dead pixels. Video & stills look outstanding! This monitor is built with quality in mind. Clean, modern silver bezel. Adjustable stand is very robust – easy to move up & down. Monitor looks great with new MacPro Quad Intel. A bit expensive, but worth it when spending 6 - 8 hours a day using...

Easy out of the box setup – great picture after adjusting the brightness down to 5 & contrast to 10! No dead pixels. Video & stills look outstanding! This monitor is built with quality in mind. Clean, modern silver bezel. Adjustable stand is very robust – easy to move up & down. Monitor looks great with new MacPro Quad Intel. A bit expensive, but worth it when spending 6 - 8 hours a day using it. Hundreds less than Apple Cinema display. Spent 6 months researching monitors. This one won over Dell.

Love this monitor!!

Strengths: Great picture, very bright, nice colors with great response times. Solid, but flexible and easily adjustable stand. Two inputs to switch from, as well as multiple USB connectors.

Weakness: None - so far. I just love this monitor, and haven't discovered any weakness

I'm very happy with this purchase. I love the size and picture, and wouldn't hesitate to get this monitor again. It completely fulfilled my expectations on picture quality, size and possible adjustments. The monitor has a nice stand, which can be easily adjusted multiple ways. You can even turn the monitor 90 degress. It came with two DVI connector cables and two USB cables, as well as the power...

Great monitor for the price

Strengths: Great picture, nice looks, 2 DVI ports with button to switch between inputs, customizable on screen menu

Weakness: Lack of inputs

I hooked this monitor up to a new Mac Pro with an ATI X1900 XT video card via one of the DVI ports. No dead pixels on the unit I received. Out of the box picture quality was very good. I haven't seen any ghosting so far. Backlighting is nice and even. The looks are simple, but nice. The bezel bordering the screen is a little under an inch wide. The monitor came with 2 DVI cables and with a VGA...

I hooked this monitor up to a new Mac Pro with an ATI X1900 XT video card via one of the DVI ports. No dead pixels on the unit I received. Out of the box picture quality was very good. I haven't seen any ghosting so far. Backlighting is nice and even. The looks are simple, but nice. The bezel bordering the screen is a little under an inch wide. The monitor came with 2 DVI cables and with a VGA adapter cable (DVI on the monitor end, VGA on the video card end). It also came with a USB cable and power cable.

The major difference between this monitor and the Dell 2407 is that the Dell has more inputs (S-Video, Component, etc.) and is HDCP enabled. But the HP is about $50 cheaper (after the $40 rebate) even with a 15% Dell sale.

The only advantage of the HP (other than price) is that it has 2 DVI inputs and allows switching between the inputs via a button on the monitor. This feature came in handy when I had both my old and new desktop hooked up to the monitor at the same time while I was transferring data between the two computers.

All told, I'm very happy with this purchase.

Best Monitor Ever!

Strengths: Great Resolution, color, price and design.

Weakness: haven't found any.... for real!

i was considering getting the apple cinema display (23 inch) and than i heard about this monitors and thought that it is a much better deal.
the monitor looks great, one inch bigger than the apple one, and look just as good.
definitely the best deal in the market for this size of monitor.

HP's 24

Strengths: Very nice case and stand. Display is excellent for graphics work, good resolution and brightness. Three year warranty.

Weakness: Price is a bit steep.

HP has put out another excellent monitor for graphics work that is backed for business users with a 3 year warranty. The quality and finish complement the HP Workstations. It works equally well on the new MacPro Xeon based desktops.
