HP LP1965 Review

- HP's LP1965, the company's latest 19-inch monitor, performed well in our image quality tests. Jurors noted crisp lettering in a Microsoft Word document, and sharp, well-defined lines in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The display also rendered graphics well, with bright, realistic colors and skin tones in photographs and on a Web site.

User Reviews for HP LP1965

    Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

    Strengths: see previous comments

    Weaknesses: none

    Overall Evaluation: I would like to add to my previous comments. There are at least 4 different ways to adjust the color. On screen. with the video card, with HP Display Assisstant and the best and hardest to find- color calibration found under plug ins with Display Assistant. None of the first 3 work as well as the last. Strange that it is not publicized. HP Display LItesaver works just fine. Adjust the settings to have the monitor OFF at all times and then keep it on for whatever time you want after any new activity. The pivot software isn't worth the trouble. I first had to download a new video card driver and the picture pivots just fine. HOWEVER, the mouse always goes in the wrong direction!. All told, a superb product for the price. I got it in 1 day from an HP online reseller with a $55 discount.
