HP w2207 Review

by Roy Santos

- The HP w2207 delivers one of the better-designed 22-inch wide-screen LCD monitors we've seen, earning extra points for its easily adjustable double-hinged base and for its strikingly good looks. It does lag behind other 22-inch LCDs in overall performance, particularly on graphics tests. At $360 (as of October 9, 2007), it's pricier than better-performing displays, but it offers the best combination of features and quality.

Duration of ownership: 1 Month

Strengths: Picture Quality Contrast, black to white HP Software, auto landscape, portrait Pivot, tilt, swivel eas of use Plug n play sleep mode

Weaknesses: Sound

Overall Evaluation: Analog picture quality is the best I've seen. Finally a high def monitor where you can actually use the analog input. No bleeding images or hard to read text. The text is as sharp as can be and the pictures are crystal clear and the colors are vibrant. Functionality is excellent. Tilt, swivel, pivot to landscape or portrait. On screen menu is easy to use. The hp software is a dream. It guides you through the setup process. Absolutely make your monitor look perfect. I tried to setup my monitor without the software and could not get the perfect results. So use the software. I have an xp machine. The only let down are the speakers. There is re-verb on the sound. Everything echo's. However you do not buy a monitor for bose quality sound so just ignore the speaker deficiency. I strongly recommend this monitor. I am using the analog input and can tell you it is better than HD picture quality.

Duration of ownership: 3 Months

Strengths: Screen size, resolution, USB connection

Weaknesses: Footprint and smears on the screen

Overall Evaluation: I have had this monitor for a few months now and it is probably the best monitor that I have ever owned. The picture is beautiful in most applications such as movies, pictures and text, but I have noticed a very poor picture when it comes to dark colors. I do a considerable amount of music production/audio editing and with some of my programs FL Studio 6.0 to be exact the background color is do dark and undesirable it makes it very difficult to see all of the applications editing features and functions. The screen size is very large and allows for all of my software with multiple windows to be up and accessible without minimizing or moving around different windows. Great for musicians that tend to run into this problem. Overall the monitor looks so good that it almost makes the music sound better just by the appearance on the screen. I would recommended this to all of my friends with little caution.
