Purchased several HP monitors. One went bad while under warranty and spent over three hours trying to get a return authorization to have it repaired. Nice monitor until you need help. Then be prepared to spend a half day or more trying to get authorization to get it repaired.
This is a beautiful 24 inch monitor. I wish I had two of them. The vertical mode does have a limited viewing angle but not many monitors have this feature.I have my PC connected through VGA and an Xbox 360 connected through HDMI. The monitor works great for both and switching between the two is simple.The speakers are not that great.
This type of packing is probably better than the manufacturer (and more expensive). I've swapped the video cable between monitors - the color difference stays with the monitor, does not move with the cable. Works great. I'll just calibrate the monitors someday so that they look the same. Delivery was prompt.Monitor itself is fine. No damage that I've found. Monitor arrived in good shape, with supplier foam packing, not the manufacturer packing. The firmware versions are different, so it's possible the "color calibration table" in the firmware is different.
$10. So it's not due to the video card. I use the clips to hold my reading glasses and headset. It's substantially different. This is the type where foam is injected into bags, which expands and fills the box. I'll try the HP calibration on their website first.That is an HP/monitor issue, not a supplier issue.
I am satisfied with this supplier.The only minor down side is that the color is not the same as same monitor model which I purchased earlier. I've verified all the monitor menu settings are identical. If I'd originally purchased two at the same time, there probably would not have been any difference.BTW, I really like the monitor clips that HP sells. [.].
I felt I had to add to the "Not so great" category. Viewing angles really are that bad, "Halo" light around the edge of the monitor (This is after sending it back for yet another refurb).With brightness dialed down along with contrast, the picture can look good, but over all it really isn't a good monitor.I was really hoping for a refund whenm I returned the first unit, but it looks like there are a ton of available "Famous" maker HPs out there.
i bought this product from amazon on 01/25/2008, and it stopped working today, on 04/20/2009. but i'll have to buy from some other corporation. get the extra warranty whatever it is.an overseas tech working for hp told me its rare but there was nothing they can do since the warranty expired.
tried different cables, it must be an internal power supply problem.1 yr warranty expired, so i'm left with a huge monitor that doesn't work. its basically hp telling me, "f you consumer, you got unlucky."well, that does it for me. power just turned off, and will not turn back on.
and you can't get angry at these guys, they're just doing their job. while i had it, it was great. but just letting everyone out there know that some of these might not last right after one year.
lifetime ban on hp products. so everyone, good luck in dealing with these thieving corporations who don't even have to deal with their customers' problems since they outsource the work and tech support overseas and make faulty products that barely outlive their warranties, all to increase their executives' paychecks.
