Summary: Exchanged a 24 SOYO for an HP22 2008-08-07
Comment: I wrote a review on the SOYO24IN DYLME6 a couple of weeks ago. It had a nice picture but not as nice as this HP. See my review on the SOYO as I edited today to add the HP. I paid $280.00 for the SOYO and went and checked out the HP and paid $299.00 for it so I made out since the HP came with a VGA and HDMI cable. I see that I need a HDMI to DVI cable to hook up to my computer. I'm glad I read the review here as I was about to get a straight DVI to DVI cable.
:)
P.S. don't let the resolution numbers fool you. The reso on the SOYO is 19xx xxxx and the HP is 1650x xxxx and the pictures, text, graphics, movies, games are way better.

Summary: A great monitor 2008-07-28
Comment: I finally upgraded from a 17" CRT to this 22" widescreen LCD. What a difference! The amount of extra space is wonderful and I'm now able to play computer games without feeling that my view is cramped. In fact, the screen is so big, I had to push it all the way to the back of my desk to be able to take it all in without feeling that I had to turn my head to read across the screen.
Some of the positives of the HPW2207h include a nice bright picture, beautiful colors (pictures just 'pop' out), easy control interface, and height adjustment. I was rather surprised to learn during my initial research that many lcd monitors don't have that last feature. I'm limited on height by a top shelf, so it was an important feature for me.
The only drawback that I've seen is that text seems a bit less crisp than it did on my CRT. I don't know if this is a factor of this particular monitor, this particular model, or possibly just they LCD technology in general. The only other LCD I've had experience with is a 17" at work. Whatever is causing it, I know that I do have to adjust my reading habits at times.
I should also point out that I'm currently using a VGA cable rather than DVI, so I'm hoping that the picture will be even better once I upgrade the cable.
I have not tried using the screen rotation because it wouldn't fit in my desk space, so I can't comment on that. In fact, I wish this model had a version without the screen rotation that cost a bit less - I hate paying for technology that I'm not going to use.
I also can not comment on the sound quality of the speakers - I have a wonderful subwoofer and side speakers, so there's no need to hook up the monitor as well.
I have seen some reviews (not necessarily on this site) state that they don't like the fact that this monitor is HDMI when most video cards don't have HDMI output. This was initially a concern of mine as well regarding a future computer upgrade, so I did a bit of research. It is now my understanding that DVI and HDMI are pretty much the same quality signal - the only difference being that the HDMI is also capable of tranporting audio. To get the higher quality digital signal, you just need a DVI-HDMI cable to use with your DVI video card and you won't be losing any quality over an HDMI video card (all other factors being equal). Of course, I will state that I'm not an expert in HDMI and that this is just information I've collated from the web from what appear to be legit sources.
If you pick up one of these monitors, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Summary: 4.5 stars - very good, highly recommended 2008-07-21
Comment: I've had this for 6 weeks. It worked flawlessly right out of the box -- I didn't need to fiddle with the color/brightness/contrast settings at all.
The display's picture and video quality is outstanding with rich colors and deep blacks. When I bought my Dell XPS laptop, I paid extra to upgrade to an LED display, which is better than the standard one. I used to love my laptop's display - until I got this HP monitor!
Text quality is good to excellent, depending on the font and size. Small font sizes are pretty readable, though some fonts aren't quite as crisp as I would have hoped for what, to me, is a fairly high-end monitor.
The included speakers are mediocre at best. If there is a version of this monitor that doesn't have the speakers (but is otherwise identical), then I'd recommend you get that instead.
I really like that you can turn the monitor 90 degrees to portrait mode, and the picture will automatically rotate so that it has the correct orientation. This is great for viewing documents as they would print on a standard sheet of paper.
This monitor has an HDMI input and comes with an HDMI cable. (Those cables are expensive, so it's great that HP includes one!) My Dell XPS laptop has an HDMI output, so that's how I connect. HDMI makes hookup easy, and maximizes picture quality. Most laptops don't have HDMI outputs, but if you have a DVI output you can get a DVI/HDMI adapter, or you can simply use the analog output.
If looks matter to you, I think you'd be happy with the looks of this monitor. The front has a piano gloss black frame around the edge of the display. The side and rear views are nothing special but not ugly like many monitors. I think the monitor looks good, but understated, so it blends in rather than sticks out.
HP sells an "easyclip" kit, which I bought. It includes four accessory holders that clip on to wherever you prefer along the side or top edges of the display. Two of these holders will hold a single photo or piece of paper (shopping list, perhaps). One holds a single flower, or a pen or pencil. And one holds headphones. I like having the easyclip holder kit, but it is definitely not essential. If you buy this monitor, it has a (removable) sticker on the base, advertising the easyclip kit.
If you have a laptop, here's a really useful thing you can do with this (or any other) monitor, depending on your laptop's video card.
After connecting the HP monitor, run both monitors simultaneously. Set either one to be the "main" one (with all your desktop icons and start button), and make the other one the "secondary" monitor. The secondary monitor acts as an extension to the main one. So, for example, you can drag anything from your desktop (say, a browser window that is not maximized) toward the right of the screen. As it starts to go over the right edge of the main display, it starts to appear on the left edge of the secondary display. You can run/view different things in the two displays - at the same time! I find this incredibly useful in my work - it greatly increases the effective screen real estate you have to work with. Very cool! Try it out!

Summary: Best Buy: Good quality, Good price. 2008-07-21
Comment: I am very pleased with this monitor. Looks very nice on my desk, the resolution is good and the price was right. Like they said, the sound from the speakers is just so-so, but enough to listen videos from youtube, etc. In summary, I would recommend to anyone thinking on a 22" monitor.
