Great monitor!, August 12, 2008

This review is from: HP L2208w 22-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor (Electronics)

I purchased this monitor to go with my MacPro 15" laptop. Because of all the great Amazon reviews, I was all ready to buy a Samsung for about $100 more, but when I saw how crisp and clear my boss's HP display was I changed my mind and purchased the HP L2208w. I love it! The color is a little cooler than my laptop display but it's totally adjustable through the Monitor>Color>Calibration>Advanced control panel. The display is crisp with full color and saturation ranges and nice deep blacks for photograph editing. It took about 3 minutes to get it out of the box, plugged in and in use. At first I used it in duel monitor mode with my laptop but now, most of the time I just leave my laptop closed and use the HP as my sole monitor. It coordinates nicely with my laptop and Apple keyboard too. The only thing I don't like about it is the adjustment controls. I can't actually see any labels or icons on them to give a clue what does what, though I think they are there, they're so faint I can't...Read more

Replaced my old NEC 1700M+ LCD Monitor with this, March 17, 2009

This review is from: HP L2208w 22-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor (Electronics)

Where to start....
I have been using a NEC 1700M+ LCD Monitor since 2001, and paid $1000.00 for that monitor. This HP L2208W LCD Monitor replaced it, for $182.00, including s/h.

Even tho I did not buy this HP L2208W Monitor on Amazon, I will say a bit about it here.

This is a great monitor. It is BRIGHT and CLEAR. I opted for This particular model over the HP w2207h because of the Anti-Glare screen, and I really don't need my monitor to flip sideways like the w2207h monitor does.

This HP L2208W has no USB Ports and No Speaker built in. I did order the SpeakerBar for it from Amazon, and it fits great and the sound is good for what it is. The Monitor has a nice tilt feature, but no swivel feature, which I can live with. My only gripe would be that is doesnt have any USB Ports built into the Monitor, but again, something I can live with.

The Stand is VERY Sturdy and Overall I am quite impressed with this HP L2208W LCD Monitor. If anyone...Read more

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: HP L2208w 22-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor (Electronics)

I purchased this monitor from an Amazon vendor. It arrived very quickly, however I was not able to get it functioning. It kept telling me "monitor is going to sleep." It would not stay "awake" long enough to try to get it working properly. After a couple hours of frustration I called HP support. When I explained what it was doing they sent me a new monitor at no charge. The new monitor works perfectly, was very easy to install and begin using. I believe this is a good product, however the first one was a pure lemon.
