Hazro - Any Update?

AndyBurnes said:
I'm still concerned about the build quality issues and dead pixel problem, especially as I'd be shipping it Europe and would presumably have to ship it back to England again if it had a fault. Also, it would appear that my previous post asking when full European distribution of this monitor would begin has been deleted - does anyone know the answer? Alternatively, if Hazro had a returns centre in Europe I'd happily buy it from OCUK.

I have the same concerns, I live in Denmark. Does anyone know if OcUK would refund shipping costs if one was to recieve a faulty monitor that had to be RMA'ed ?

Now also looking at the HP LP2475w as I can get it in Denmark for the same amount..

Im not keen on the glossy effect but I dont have room for a bigger monitor on my desk

I was in a similar position as I haven't got a whole lot of desk space right now, but actually the 26" model has a 25.5" screen and the whole unit is only 4cm wider than the 24" - in practice not much at all.
 
When it comes to wall mounting this monitor, I see you need a special bracket from Hazro to fit a VESA 100 mount which is available from Hazro.. Can anyone help with these questions:

1. How much would this Hazro bracket cost?

2. Why do we need to contact Hazro BEFORE removing the stand? (as stated in the manual.pdf)



TIA
 
Might I just ask, other than the obvious (1.5" real estate, glossy/matte finish), are there any significant differences between the 26 and the 24? (if anyone knows/has reason to believe)

Well I would be worried by the fact its an extra £100!

Apparently the only real differences between the 24 and the 26 is that the 24 has a glossy effect on the outside where as the 26 has a matt finish, also the 26 has a slightly faster refresh rate, but not by much.
 
The 26" is wide gammut and it has a DCR( dynamic contrast ratio) like the dell 2408, which is excellent for multimedia (the black point is divided by 2).
It's not nothing....
 
Sorry, realised I was asking the same question. Being a bit over the top on checking these screens, having been considering a larger monitor since the 2407HC was a huge disappointment, followed by the 2408 and the 2408a1. =( Randomly, could anybody supply a pretty picture of the rear (inputs) of the 24Wi or 26Wi?

Sorry, only if it's convenient. =( Don't want to be a hassle.

some good pics by philjohn also showing the back and the inputs

I'm waiting to see if OcUK are going to stock the 23Wi, is anyone else following progress of the HP2475w?

EDIT

deleted the erroneous pics ;P

One thing to bear in mind is the HP is wide-gamut. That's not such an issue in colour managed applications like photoshop, but might present a problem in games and other apps.

It depends if you like oversaturated colours. Skintones take a more reddish/orangey hue and sky blue is slightly green-ish.

You can tame it for non-colour managed apps, depending on your graphics card. ATi has a saturation control that can be put into the negative, however Nvidia's digital vibrancy control doesn't.

Web browsing you can use firefox 3 which is colour managed, and for movies you can use the player's saturation control to tame colours into more natural shades, but for gaming only ATi cards have an option to use more natural colours. So for gaming on a nvidia card with a wide-gamut display, you better like vibrant colours. :)

I use a nvidia card so my choices are now between occasionally oversaturated colours on the HP or occasional banding on the hazro. I miss CRT monitors!

I miss them too :rolleyes:
Damn never knew this wide gamut thing was such a problem. Hazro 26" is wide gamut too right ? People don't seem concerned about it.
Hmm I guess I'll have to see it in action before knowing :rolleyes:
Why would monitor makers make it wide gamut if it's considered such a negative thing ?

Thats the best I've found too. I'm considering getting IT at work to order me one and see how it is... ;)

That sounds like a plan :D I'll have a couple of questions for you then ;)
 
Wide-gamut is actually useful for people working in adobeRGB colourspace, which has a wider range of colours to work with. That's quite a small percentage of monitor buyers though.

Perhaps slightly more cynical is that joe blogs is more impressed by vibrant colours than correct colours. "Wow look how colourful the picture is!".

The only problem is the web, games, and movies are all made for the sRGB colourspace, so when you view them on wide-gamut displays, the original colours translate into their wide-gamut equivalent values. for example 0, 255, 0 pure green in an sRGB image is displayed as a much greener green on wide-gamut display, where the same shade would be more like 0, 244, 0.
