 Nice monitor December 2, 2008
No complaints here. Only minor problem is that Windows Vista does not want to recognize the driver and asks me on each reboot if I want to install a driver for the new monitor. But the driver installed just fine from the HP website and I just skip the message on reboot. Nice monitor. Very bright and crisp images.
Excellent display when used without the HP software or driver November 30, 2008
Pros: HDMI, Ambient Light sensor, crisp, very vivid and bright picture, high resolution, extra USB ports, includes all cables.
Cons: Mistake laden installation guide, weak speakers, clumsy unpacking setup, no DVI input (dvi to vga does not count).
Very nice monitor. Images look stunning on it. It appears that HP pumped up the vividness alot. This display is by no means accurate tho. But if you want to have something enjoyable to look at then this display is the one. A reminder, do not follow the installation manual or sheet. It shows a picture telling you to install the hp driver and software. However do not install the drivers and display programs from HP. Its a known problem that HP and Vista has conflicting driver issues. Its funny, if you look at HP's product website, it tells that the display does not need drivers... thanks for the update HP. It took me 4 hours to resolve it as the drivers screwed up my vista and I had a corrupted image when vista booted up. So just allow windows to install its own driver. Also HP does not tell you that the HDMI audio is turned off by default in the OS and display. Other than that, its one of the best entertainment display ive seen. Ambient light sensor is pretty cool, like the Macbooks, however automated changes dont vary as much as I hoped given the changes in lighting.
Great monitor, even with the reflective bezel! November 23, 2008

The monitor is absolutely giant! The amount of screen real estate you have is really obscene! Setup was plug n play, but you'll need the DVI to HDMI converter to plug into this monitor; it's pnly HDMI (Or wait, does it have a regular VGA? Not sure, but who uses that crap anymore?)
2 Items of note:
1. Don't install the stupid software that came with it. When I did, it screwed up my 'right click' ability by screwing up my right-click menus, their proprietary software jacked it somehow. Once I uninstalled it, it worked fine. Not sure what came with the software anyways, but I'm fine without it!
2. The reflective glass can be a bit distracting during the first coupla weeks, but its far superior to regular LCD's. Example, when the sun is blasting on a regular LCD monitor, it becomes washed out all over. But in the case of THIS monitor, just like regular glass it only reflects in that small part where the sun is, just like a mirror. Pretty cool!
Overall this thing was a super bargain; got one for teh artist fiance who normally complains about inaccurate colors on LCD's, but she's fine with this one. The gaming on this is awesome as well. Glorious widescreen!
Get this thing. You won't regret it.
PS No dead pixels on the purchase.
 Mine died one year and 18 days after I bought it and HP service is horrible November 20, 2008

Mine died one year and 18 days after I bought it. Since HP only warranties their monitors for one year I'm out of luck unless I want to pay HP $374.99 to fix it. No thank you!
I bought the 25 inch Samsung to replace it and so far so good. I've had a 19 inch Samsung lcd for about 4 years with no problems so I'm going to stick with Samsung monitors from now on. Samsung's warranty is three years by the way.
The articulating arm on the HP is a nice feature but useless when the monitor won't power on.
Awesome Resolution! November 17, 2008

I have minor vision problems, so I usually have to reduce the resolution on the displays I use so that objects and text appear larger. When I installed this monitor, it defaulted to its highest possible resolution (meaning objects and text appeared small). Initially I assumed that I would have to adjust down the resolution, but quickly found that images and text were so incredibly clear that I could actually see them just fine at the highest resolution setting!
I had no idea how poor the quality was on my old Gateway 24" flat panel until it died without warning (just after the warranty expired, of course) and I replaced it with this awesome unit.
