Well no that's not the only good review, there's also this one: http://www.flatpanelshd.com/review.php?subaction=showfull&id=1272354232 Sounds like an awesome monitor (especially for people who can't stand wide gamut like myself). I've been looking for an 24" standard gamut IPS that has...

Oh so he's an actual employee at HP then?

rxblitzrx: Where the HELL can you get the HP ZR24w for $318? Their website says $425.

Well I decided to lower my size standards and bought the Dell 2209WA. Compared to the HP LP2745w (which I returned), it's like night and day. The colors aren't quite as good as my old CRT, but I feel like with enough calibration they could be. On the LP2475W NO amount of calibrating would...

Ugh, the research for this is driving me crazy. Are there any non wide-gamut, non-TN 24" panels that people can recommend for gaming? By gaming I mean as little input lag as is possible for a non TN panel.

Hey I found some more user reviews on monitors: http://wiki.dandascalescu.com/reviews/displays Looks like this guy had the exact same color problems that I did with the HP LP2475w. I'm amazed this monitor is recommended so highly in light of this.

GTaudiophile: Well I can only base this on my experience, but yes, you can game on the LP2475W, but depending on the game and settings it can feel "floaty". If you've ever looked at a webcam that updates itself slightly slower than what it's recording, that's exactly what it feels like. I'm...

zod96: I just tried that after reading the reviews here. You can see my mini-review of it here. In short the light greens and reds strike me as way too oversaturated, the input lag is pretty noticeable, and the problems with uniform brightness drove me a little batty (though that last part...

Well after even more research, I think my ideal monitor doesn't exist. I tried looking at a lot of TN panels, but I just can't get used to vertical viewing angles (even when looking at it head on). Here's my new criteria: -24" -normal color gamut -VA panel (I read these are more forgiving...

decaflame: Well I'm hardly an expert, but you can look on the page prior to this for my own view on the HP LP2475W. It could be a personal preference thing, but I simply can't stand the wide gamut compared to what I have now. As for responsiveness, the ghosting wasn't so bad I couldn't get...

KevinC: It says it's revision 3. Also while I think the uniform brightness problem is probably a monitor-specific issue, I highly doubt the overly intense light greens, reds, and input lag are. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I tend to be skeptical of people claiming no such problems...

Well I purchased the HP LP2475W based on all my research here, and I have to say coming from a Sony Trinitron CRT, it's very disappointing so far. I was aware that I have to calibrate the color, which I've been attempting to do for hours, trying a slew of different programs. on it. There's just...

Winterpool: That's helpful that you're also coming from the CRT perspective. Thankfully I couldn't care less about the appearance of the stand, just the screen. Have you had a chance to look at any of these monitors? KevinC: Well I guess my question is despite the "wow" factor, would you...

RickJ5: Thanks for your feedback. One thing I'm confused about however is you say the Dell and the HP have the same input lag. According to this review, it says otherwise. It makes out the HP model to be one of the better 24" monitors for input lag and the Dell as one of the worst they've...

I'm in the same boat as a lot of other people. I'm accustomed to good CRTs (on a dying Sony Trinitron now) and am trying to make the transition to LCDs. I watch all my movies on my computer, do a bunch of graphics and video editing, and am an avid gamer. I'm looking for a 24" for around $600...
