Excellent Plug and Play Picture Quality for Mac and PC
I use this monitor with a KVM switch with a Power Mac G-5 and a PC laptop, and it has excellent video resolution for both platforms. I do some video editing with Final Cut Pro, and the size and picture quality are great for editing.
The only down side are the weak built-in speakers, but I wasn't planning to use them anyway. So for my purposes the monitor is a solid 5-stars.
I bought like 80 of them, so I guess I like them...
I needed a 1680x1050 22" monitor with embedded speakers - so here it is...
It does the job, but it is annoying because the damn things won't go to sleep at night (and they are attached to HP hardware). It would also be nice if you could attach the HP terminal box to the back as you can with some other monitors.
The prices vary on this monitor - I've gotten them for as little as 9+shipping.
All in all, it does the job, looks sharp, and people seem to like them. Plus you get a free HDMI cable with every one (LOL)
Do not buy this monitor
After one year and two days of use, this monitor blinks on and off.
HP will not honor the warranty. They will sell me a REMANUFACTURED monitor for 214.99 + tax. HP will never see anymore of my money
Excellent... at first, then horrible ghosting
At first, I was thrilled with this monitor (note that I have the w2207, not w2207H, so perhaps this problem is fixed). But after a couple of months, I started getting 'ghosting' - everything has a light ghost image of itself to the right - for example, characters look 'smeared' to the right-hand side. This is, by the way, on fixed text, not gaming or graphics intensive motion. I returned that monitor (I'll give HP credit, the return was easy once I convinced them I knew what I was talking about and had already tried all the usual things - reset, unplug, etc). Now the second one is doing the EXACT same thing. Two in a row means they have a design or manufacturing issue. I have searched online (a bit) and others do not seem to have this issue - I leave the monitor on all the time, just let the power save turn it off, so this could be part of the problem. I am past the one year warranty and are therefore SOL. I have to unplug the monitor for a bit, then it cleats up for a short time but then goes ghosty again. Argh.

I've been looking at monitors for about a year. Started with the Viewsonic and read about how touchy the screens were. From there went to Samsung and you had to check on the serial number to see where it was manufactured at because of dead pixels. Also the adjustablity of the monitor istelf. From there I went to HP. All of the reviews were good. I purchased mine from Circuit City. I've had this minitor now for about four months. I'm not a gamer, but I do a lot of photo restoration and also design stained glass. I'm WELL pleased with the quality of the monitor. Colors are beautiful and the stand adjusts for height,tips and if jou do legal work rotates 180 degrees. I would not hesitate on replacing it with the same model.
