Customer Reviews Never even got to plug it in! by .. Very disappointed (Asheville, NC) After all the positive reviews, I decided I couldn't go wrong with this monitor. Unfortunately I never got past trying to move the neck on the monitor so that I could slide it into the stand. It wouldn't move! The instructions were very clear but it was stuck solid. I tried forcing it until I felt it could break off. I looked for a button, or a switch - something to allow the neck to swing up. Nada! I even emailed HP customer service and they admitted that I should return it. I don't know if I want to try again.
HP Did This One Right. by .. Michael Ritter (Houston, TX United States) I own three of these monitors. That tells you just how much I like this product. The monitors are very bright, the colors are very vivid. They were very easy to assemble (basically this is attaching the base). All three of mine came with both DVI, VGA & sound cables. The built in speakers are clear, but not very loud even at full volume. I do wish that you could adjust the height of the monitor, not just the viewing angle. Other reviews have mentioned the base. I haven't had any real problems with stability, but I do wish that that the base was more substantial.
One is attached to a Mac Mini. I did have some problems getting the Mac to work with this monitor. I ended up having to use the VGA connection along with the Apple supplied VGA to DVI adaptor. I also had to download a piece of shareware software in order to get the Mac to run at 1680 x 1050. This is one of the reasons I gave the device four stars instead of five.
The other two monitors are attached to a KVM switch that supports dual monitors. Thru the switch the monitors are connected to a HP laptop that runs Windows Vista and a HP desktop that runs Windows XP. I haven't had any problems toggling between the two devices.
I've had two of these monitors for about 1 year, the other for only about two months. The price has dropped about 20% during that period. If it would get to about $175 I'd add another star to my review.
In summary, I think this is a good product and good value.
Great LCD monitor, as good as a Sony Trinitron by .. S. P. Mathupala (Clinton Township, MI) I have been searching for a while for an inexpensive LCD alternate, with as good a resolution and clarity as that would match my aging Sony Trinitron CRT monitor. I think I found that in this HP w2007. Great resolution, color rendition, and clarity. Has a 0.25 mm "dot pitch" similar to that of a Trinitron as well. Also has a glossy screen similar to that of a typical Sony Trinitron CRT. On screen monitor adjustments are a snap (also as user friendly are the menu buttons on the monitor itself). For the price, it is an excellent buy.
Good value by .. David P. Martin (Tuscaloosa, AL) Best monitor out there for under $235, in my opinion. This is a very clear and vivid monitor, and I could have paid the same for a 17 or 19 inch monitor. Easy to set up - no lengthy manual to read. Plugged it into a Toshiba laptop to get a nice big screen. Very user friendly controls. I use it for work - word processing, calendar, e-mail, videos, internet searches. It looks very sleek and professional. I highly recommend it. The seller shipped on time and I received it without any problems.
Very Satisfied by .. T. Gibbs (Valencia, Ca. USA) I was not in the market for a computer monitor until my Dell monitor just one day quit working. I spent considerable time researching for a good replacement monitor and after reading many reviews from different stores, including several retail electronic stores, I purchased the HP w2007 LCD monitor. It's features and quality of design for the price made this the best choice for my needs. People who own this model seemed to be the most satisfied with its design and performance and also had the least trouble with it. After using mine extensively for over the past month now, I have also joined the ranks of happy and satisfied customers of this product. It is everything I have read about and is well worth the price...especially at Amazon. If you are looking for a quality performer at a good price, I highly recommend this product.
