  • Review: I went through 2 monitors before I received one without the color shift issue. If you go through HP support they will replace it as many times as you need but be aware it will be a refurb. Note: Dell sells a similar panel with the same issue but Dell will NOT replace your panel due to the color shift issue like HP will. I seriously considered giving up on this monitor until I received the one I have now which has no color shift issue. I think it is worth trying to get a good unit because there are few no options unless you look at $1000+ monitors like the NEC's or Eizo's. After calibration this monitor puts my macbook pro display to shame. It looks amazing.

  • Lots of Inputs including VGA, More Specs, Short Review vs. Dell U2410

  • Rating: Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5
  • Review: Some info from the HP data sheet, and then a quick review.

    To clarify the Amazon tech specs, this monitor has a lot of inputs:
    2 x DVI-I
    1 x HDMI 1.3
    1 x DisplayPort 1.1 with HDCP
    1 x Component video
    1 x S-video
    1 x Compositive video.
    Also VGA via a VGA to DVI-I cable that's provided (as well as DVI-D, HDMI, and DisplayPort cables).

    Screen only is (h x w x d) 14.25 x 21.9 x 3.29 in (36.2 x 55.64 x 8.35 cm). With stand 16.6 to 20.54 x 21.9 x 9.96 in (42.16 to 52.16 x 55.64 x 25.3 cm). Stand can tilt -5 to +30 degree, Swivel -45 to +45 degree. Monitor can be rotated 90.

    I used one of these side by side with a Dell UltraSharp U2410 (ASIN B00302DNZ4), but only for text editing (I like to see lots of code). Both were very good, but the Dell had slightly sharper text. Of course that was after I fiddled with the brightness, contrast, etc. settings on both.

    I didn't notice any color change across the screen, but I wasn't editing photos or video (same with the UltraSharp).

    As another reviewer noted, there was noticable color shift as you shift position; more than I would have expected. The UltraSharp was a bit better in this respect.

    As someone else noted, the OSD control buttons are annoying. But how often do you adjust the monitor? For me, not very often.

    For pure text editing, the Dell is better. If you need lots of inputs, then use the HP. I can't really say that one monitor is better than the other overall.

  • Purple fuzz

  • Review: Monitor arrived and when plugged in produced nothing more than purple fuzz. I am very disappointed with this purchase since there were such good reviews of it online.

  • Updated HP LP 2475W Reviews Needed

  • Review: After much research I purchased the HP 2475 monitor. I would like to correct some misinformation I have read in some of the other reviews based on my experience. I have the XFX ATI 5850 video card with the Intel 920 and 12G of ram.

    1. There is no pinkish or greenish tint on the all white screen - if there was a problem then evidently HP has corrected it.
    2. The text clarity is superb, legible at 5 pt in MS Word. This is by far the clearest text I have ever seen on a monitor. The new Dell 27" monitor may compete but it costs twice as much. I think that people who are having any problems with this are running a cheap low-end video card or they don't know how to adjust their system. I returned a Samsung HD 2570 monitor because the text was not clear.
    3. TFT [...] lists calibration settings for this monitor to bring its color to near perfection if you don't have your own calibration tool
    4. The Samsung HD 2570 and the HP 2475 both have superb video (and still) pictures - both HD and Standard definition. The HP has better separation of greys and you can see more in low-light and dark scenes. The color is also more accurate on the HP - the Samsung over-saturated some colors didn't separate them as well
    5. I have had no problem with over-saturated colors because of the wide color gamut - none. I cannot emphasize this enough. Again I think that people that are having problems don't have an up-to-date system or don't know how to adjust their system.I do run the most current versions of Firefox but that does not explain why no other colors are over-saturated. I think that some reviewers have blown this way out of proportion. The Samsung had far more problems with over-saturation than the HP 2475 ever has.
    6. I personally did not have any dead or stuck pixels with my monitor. but that seems to be a problem that all LCD monitors have to some degree
    7. It is incredibly important with any HD capable monitor to use either an HDMI or display port connection - you won't get a clear sharp picture with VGA or DVI connections. I think this is the source of many complaints about clarity, picture quality and color quality. Update your video card if you don't have one of these connections. ATI offers video cards below $100.00 in their 5000 series that have both connections. The difference is amazing.
    8. While the 2475 does have great blacks, it cannot compare with high-end LED monitors - they will probably replace this monitor in time because they have the advantage of completely turning off to produce a deeper level of black (the technology is not mature yet). There is a low level of light (a sort of very subtle uniform glow) that can be seen when the screen is all black that goes away when the monitor is off. This is NOT blacklight bleed that is so prevalent in cheaper monitors. This monitor has no backlight bleed anywhere on the screen. The Samsung had noticeable backlight bleed at the edges
    9. While I am not a photo/art professional the colors seem extremely accurate and faithful. There is not a reddish hue that cannot be adjusted out - I think that was a problem with the early S-IPS HP 2475 monitors that HP updated. Again this may have been a problem that was corrected
    10. There was an earlier version of this monitor released that had a much slower response time (for gaming) and was S-IPS that had numerous complaints that I have touched on. HP switched to an H-IPS and professional reviewers have given it rave reviews in both color and response time.
    11. I am not a gamer, but I have not seen any problems with the motion handling of this monitor. It handles sports video well - I have a TV Tuner card (Hauppauge 2250) and I watch OTA HDTV on my computer. The picture is superb - it is 60 HZ and so there are some "jaggies" when you watch sports but you would probably have to go to a 120 HZ or 240 HZ HDTV to get rid of this problem. As far as I know most computer monitors are 60 HZ - this may change in the future as computer based TV develops.
    12. Any flaws with standard TV or HDTV contained in the video will be faithfully reproduced because this is a very accurate monitor and does process the signal like an HDTV does. This is a plus - you want accuracy in a computer monitor.

    I hope that this helps others who are considering this monitor. Please note that HP is coming out with a new 24" H2-IPS monitor this month that is cheaper but does not have the wide color gamut. NEC also is coming out with a new 24" monitor that looks promising but will probably cost twice as much. I don't think there will be significant improvements in monitor performance (over the 2475) until LED technology and higher HZ processing works its way down to the 24" computer monitors. Samsung is pioneering this and is coming out with some new monitors this year. If your not in a hurry you may want to see what they come up with.

  • Good Substitute for the Apple Cinema Display

  • Rating: Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5
  • Review: I'm a professional photographer and recently had an Apple Cinema Monitor die completely during a very busy week. I ordered this monitor, overnight, from Amazon and have been very pleased. It's, in my opinion, a much better monitor for digital photography. It displays 100% of the AdobeRGB gamut, which is better than the Apple, and offers much easier calibrating (I use an X-rite i1 that works beautifully with this screen). I calibrate it weekly and have noticed only minimal shift the first week or two as it adjusted to being used 8 hours a day.

    Positives for this monitor: it's big and sturdy, bright, even, crisp, and has awesome color range. The USB hubs work very well, allowing me to plug in a mouse, keyboard, and printer with no problems. I've taken it on location, and it's held up well in transit. It looks professional.

    Negatives: It seems to take a few minutes to warm up to accurate color. When I first start it up in the morning, it looks a little green for a few minutes. Also, it doesn't have the old Apple's on/off control for the computer tower, nor does it respond to the brightness keys on the Apple keyboard. It does, however, sleep when the computer says to and wake up again with the computer... not bad. Also, I strongly recommend Not using this screen for serious graphic work without calibrating it. The difference the first calibration made was very striking....

    I strongly considered much more pricy monitors from LaCie, Eizo, etc... But decided to give this one a shot. I was prepared to return it if it didn't live up to my very high expectations. I will be keeping it and am very pleased.

    Highly recommended!
