HP w2007 Review

I really love the style of this, and it’s the best LCD I’ve ever had.

I’d definitely recommend this to anyone.

I bought the w2007 last night, hooked it up, the screen was sharp and clear, looked great at 1680×1050 @ 60hz, then after an hours or so the screen would go blank every couple seconds – I thought it was the settings but it would do it at the bios, boot up screen; was very upset.

I’m not sure if I’ll get another when I take this one back today.

Cheep. Stylish. Great image quality. Great software for Windows XP. Some (small) configuration problems, however nothing to worry about if you are medium user. I really canÂ’t understand some reviews, based on a atypical use of the equipment.

10, and congratulations on HP for this one.

I love the 3-D feeling of that screen + the colors. It stands out from crowds of monitors in the shop, especially when running a colorful screen-saver.

There is only 1 doubt I have – sharpness of the picture – somehow it doesn’t seem sharp.

It may look like an not configured frequency issue, but the screen accepts only 60Hz and it doesn’t look sharp. Especially the test.

It could be that I’m missing something and it’s really a pity… but it seems that I’m going to return it for that reason.

I received my Hp W2007 monitor last night in a very fast turn around time since my purchase on the HP website. Unfortunately the base is defective and it cannot be set up. After speaking with a half dozen "technical" staff, and wasting half a Sunday afternoon in the process, HP has agreed that there is indeed a "physical" problem with the monitor, and has agreed to replace it. The new delivery date is Aug.8. They say that I must return the defective monitor within 15 days of receipt of the replacememt, or be charged fully for the piece of junk that they sent me. Also there will be a document of some sort that I can use to have it returned. Thank God I did not tear open the carton when I opened the package to see my new monitor. What then? Do I have to go and buy new packaging to send this thing back to them? Also I was given an order number and a web address to track the shipment of the new monitor. I cannot find any information associated with this number, and called their "customer service" number in that regard. I was told that it would be trackable,maybe tomorrow, by the most UNCONVINCING (supervisor) voice I have spoken with since this afternoon when I initiated this complaint. I bought a Dell computer 2 years ago, and have had no real complaints, but decided on HP this time, since I have read that Dell has recently fallen short in the customer service department. I think I made a mistake and should have stayed with Dell. I hope that when I finally see the new monitor in action that I can write a good review. But for now HP is not in my favor.

Unlike the writers review from May 07…..mine came with both Analog and *DVI cable*, also power and audio cable. Bought mine Aug 07. I was worried about the ease of changing screen brightness after being spoiled by my Sony 17" lcd. Not to worry, easily done with the touch of one button. Windows XP Home recognized it as Plug and Play Monitor, install was seamless, didn’t need anything off the HP cd. I’m using DVI the supplied cable. It’s the same height as my old 17" lcd and is 4" wider [viewable]. Bought at Wal-Mart store $258 [online was more].

I was extremely impressed a couple years back when I bought my Inspiron 9300 with the best display they offered at the time. I got this monitor and hooked it up to my laptop and there is such a difference it just about blew me away. I empathize with those who have had bad experiences-it is inevitable when so many are sold, but at this point I can’t think of too much I would trade this thing for!

The HP w2007 has the most beautiful picture quality I have ever seen.

I love my new HP w2007.

The monitor is glossy and has the best picture quality I’ve ever seen.

So far, I’ve had no problems with mine!

My DVI cable WAS included.

I bought mine from Circuit City for $269.99.

This monitor is also great for GAMING!

It’s as if I had an upgrade in graphics just by the monitor!

I spent several weeks reviewing LCD monitor Reviews all over the web. I currently own an NEC MultiSync 90GX2 17″ with opticlear (gloss screen). While the HP w2007 is a great monitor for the price…I still feel that the 90GX2 is a better built unit. It also costs about $100 more and included a USB port with 2 slots.

The w2007 has a wonderful picture and mine arrived without any problems and included the DVI cable. Setup was a breeze and from box to desk it took all of 10 minutes.

The software HP includes is basic and was not of much use. I used my Nvidia software to set all the settings, and removed Hp’s.

At $239.00 I didn’t expect to get a higher refresh rate than 60Hz. Although I would have preferred at least 70Hz. I contemplated the 22″ HP but, I didn’t want the .28 dot pitchas opposed to the 20″ .25′s crisper resolution.

Quirks/Rants…Why put an illuminated blue power button at the top with the user’s field of vision. Bad place. No USB hub…come on guys…for an extra $10.00 you could have gone the distance. The cable management system is basic at best. NEC does a much better job. The speakers are not worth a comment as I knew they would be useless anyway. No harm…No foul.

The choice of a silver base may be more eye candy appealing but, a black base would have been less noticeable and made for cleaner lines all around. The lack of a height adjustment does not bother me personally.

I primarily use this monitor for gaming with an Nvidia 8800GTS 512mb card.

All in All it is a worthy purchase for the price.

Right out of the box, no issues with compatibility. I was impressed with how closely it matched the monitor in my 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (new 20″ iMac). Of course a little tweaking was still in order through Macs onboard system color calibration. I’m a graphic artist and I love to have most of my ‘tools’ panels open all the time. So this was the primary motive for buying it. I have bought, and returned many LCD monitors, in the past, for various reasons but not this time. Very, very pleased.

It is now GARBAGE. After 18 months of recreational home use the monitor DIED and HP said that since it is after their very short 1 year warranty, they will not repair or replace it. $349.99 dollars GONE. No matter how good or bad a monitor is the company that makes them (HP) must stand behind them against manufacturing defects longer than 1 year.

Imagine if your SONY TV stopped working after 1 year and they said they wouldn’t help you… you just know that wouldn’t happen and until HP steps up and changes this lack of respect for their products, themselves and you the customer there is no reason to buy HP products. Almost all of the other computer companies that produce monitors have a 3 year warranty and they are as good or better than HP monitors.

HP 2009m 20-inch monitor is big, bright and cheap. The max resolution of 1600×900 is very ideal to watch 16:9 format movies. Now we can say good bye to those black bars that appears on the top and bottom of the screen.
