HP LP2475w

+ Very good Monitor for all kinds of purposes. I am using mine for graphical work and occasionally for movies and games, both of which works very well. The coloring and response time works very well with my professional work and the monitor has a lot of useful connections one can use to connect various other devices. I couldn't be happier with this monitor. excellent value and product. Highly recommended!

- Non that i can think of!

+ I did a lot of research on pro monitors and this came top of the heap in terms of image quality vs price - if you want full HD at 1920x1080 for editing/graphics/post production and need to grade the colours and contrast etc for professional output then this is for you - I use a 2 monitor set up to preview at full HD on the right monitor. (also good for photographic work).

- The monitor is black but the bottom bit of the stand is plastic/silver looking which looks ugly and cheap, (but it does however have a tray to put things in which is handy)

+ Large bright clear display. Unit reasonably compact, given it's a 24" widescreen monitor. All possible cables provided to get it connected to one PC. Good choice of inputs available.

- Supplied software is not Apple Mac compatible and apparently no Mac version available from HP. Hadn't appreciated this from the original details. Still works fine with output from Mac as a straight monitor.

+ Great screen for a PC

- Awful with a Macbook Pro, works sometimes but not often and there are no screen drivers from HP for OS X

+ Beautiful clear bright display. Plenty of connection options (for my needs). Stable base with smooth positioning.

- Generates a lot of heat. A bit too keen to 'go to sleep' and takes a bit too long to 'wake up'. This might be configurable, but I've not taken the time to find out - so it can't be that bad a problem!

+ Fantastic image quality once set up, great for movies & gaming

- Out of box settings not great, you will need to adjust to get the best out of it.

+ fantastic display, good viewing angle, solid base, works very well at 90 degree rotation, very useful 6 port USB hub.

- auto-rotate doesn't work under Mac OS X (have to do it manually in display preferences).
