  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: More accurate coloration out of the box than others.

  Weaknesses: The looks can be improved.

  Overall Evaluation: At around $1200, this is one of the highest quality 30" LCD 2560x1600 resolution. I have read numerous reviews online and determine this LCD is the best price and performance ratio among Dell, Samsung, and Gateway.

  Strengths: Size, Size, Size, 3 DVI, USB input, Price

  Weaknesses: No scaler, No Video input, Minimum control (Brightness only)

  Overall Evaluation: Great monitor: Amazing real estate, no dead pixel, good image quality for desktop app and games, great refresh speed for games (could not see any ghosting). Great price ($1000)I haven't tested video on it or the adjustable height since it stayed at minimal height. Cable access is somewhat difficult due to the size but that is nothing to fault this monitor as I have the same problem with my 24'. Haven't tested the USB hub yet.I have been using a 24' until now. I am amazed how much more real estate you get with a 30'. I understood that theoretically it has almost 2x more pixels (4MP vs 2.3MP) but this does not prepare you for the impact of seen how big this monitor is. It is HUGE! Make sure you have the space on your desk and be prepared to have to sit a little further from it than even a 24'.I got a great price from techexcess.net (with the $100 mailing rebate from HP it came down at $1000 with H&S). 2x pixels for 2x dollars compared to a 24' = no brainer if you are like me, always switching between windows and wanting to see more information at once.BTW techexcess service was great: they answered emails within 24hr and I received my brand new monitor 1 week after ordering. Thanks to pricegrabber and techexcess for making me save $250 on this monitor!Note: I was originally waiting for the Dell (I am the happy owner of a 24' Dell 2407WFP) but a few reviews including this one (http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,2077914,00.asp) made me reconsider. Time will tell if the HP is as reliable as the Dell but so far I don't regret a bit!PS: I am an occasional gamer, and Crysis on a 30' at 2560x1600 looks amazing (I have a 8800GT which seems to handle this rez without pb. It also scales up smaller resolutions so resolutions like 1920x1200 may be displayed full screen!)

  Strengths: Size, Price, Features

  Weaknesses: None

  Overall Evaluation: When shoping I stumbled on to the HP Lp3065 and was looking at 30" moniters. Lucky me I thought that I would be spending two to five hundred more. Having read some reviews I decided to take a chance with the new kid on the block. Resolution, color, Features right out of the box had no problems. My brother and friends having seen it Like it and I think I may have a few more customers lined up For HP. Good product.

  Strengths: Good picture

  Weaknesses: Very Noisy when not in use

  Overall Evaluation: Despite the good picture I am terribly disappointed by some regular clicking noise when the monitor is in stand-by mode - considered normal by HP!. Everybody checking out my new screen is laughing about the cheap noise that even a no-name screen would not do. Not recommended unless you are using it only in a noisy office.

  Strengths: humungus screen real estate, good viewing angles, beautiful image quality

  Weaknesses: price, but as far as 30" monitors go, i got it for the very good price of $1400 minus $100 rebate.

  Overall Evaluation: I was considering the Apple 23", Acer 24", Apple 30", Samsung 30", Dell 30", HP 30". At one point, I even considered 2 Acer 20" displays side by side which would have come out to ~$450. Since I make a decent living (but not tons of $) doing video work, my main criteria was: - good image quality (but not top-shelf pro like eizo) - price- screen real estateI worked extensively with the Apple 30" displays when I worked for a company, and so it was hard for me to go to a smaller 24" or a split screen dual 20" setup.I ruled out the Dell pretty quickly based on reviews, cut out the Samsung since it came out a while ago, and then struggled over this and the Apple 30" display. Although Apple has not upgraded their displays in a while, I know well and love the 30" display.All the HP displays at retail stores were hooked up to PCs and appeared "crunchy" to me, but based on excellent online reviews, I bit the bullet and purchased one.Out of the box, the image was a bit too saturated + unnaturally vivid. Using Apple's calibrating tools, I got the image to look just like the Apple displays. Granted, I didn't compare them side to side, but I worked with the Apple 30" display extensively at work, so I was pleasantly surprised that the LP3065 seems to be of equal quality for about $500 less. At this price point, I was willing to shell out the extra $500 to get better image quality, but I'm glad I went with the HP. Clear text, gorgeous pictures and video image.Came with 1 dead pixel. I can live with that, so no complaints. At 1st, it appeared to have many dead pixels and I was super-bummed. But I took the advice of a website which suggested you gently "massage" the lcd - essentially, lightly "wiping" the "dead pixel" and all but 1 disappeared!My laptop does not have the specs to hook up to the HP monitor, but when I upgrade to a macbook pro, I'm very happy to have the option of switching inputs from my laptop to my desktop at the push of a button. But this is icing on the cake. The monitor is gorgeous and I'm so glad I got the 30". Can't imagine less screen real estate now...lol

  Strengths: Clear, crisp, and bright images. Multiple DVI inputs. Stable, yet highly adjustable stand.

  Weaknesses: Not as big a variety of types of inputs as some others. Not the most stylish kid on the block. Cable management not stellar. No on screen menus.

  Overall Evaluation: Near the cream of the crop of the current supersized monitors. Great to look at and the abundant screen acreage may take some time to adjust to. I did, and now it is easy to use the space well; it has increased my productivity, by a significant amount. If you, by chance, have multiple cpus or DVI based sources this is the perfect central monitor for quick flips between sources. OK, maybe not quite a Swiss Army knife, but definitely a multi-switching hi-def matrix, which while LARGE, nonetheless focuses a complex workstation in ways that a multi monitor setup cannot.

  Strengths: Huge viewing space, vivid color, fast response

  Weaknesses: Can always be cheaper and larger

  Overall Evaluation: I bought this 30 inch monitor so I can edit my pictures much easier. After installing DVI video card and connecting the DVI dual link cable to the monitor, the monitor quickly display excellent pictures quality. The color, 2600x1500 resolution is top notch. Iam glad to buy this monitor.
