HP LP2475w, IPS 24" Official Thread! (Now Available from OcUK)

Sadly in the end this might be the reason I am sending it back.
Remember wm51: You can compensate somewhat by tuning cleartype:

Changing saturation in the ATI control panel is not a solution because it affects all colors, including those that are not saturated. So you solve a problem and create a new one.

Yes for people who can't be bothered to invest in hardware calibration kits.
The sample I had looked perfectly natural when choosing Custom color + 20 brightness + 40 contrast + 85 desaturation for desktop + 85 desaturation for video as shown on the above screenshot.

Hey everyone.

I got mine. I've been using it for a few days now and it's a really nice monitor. Except I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed an issue where the very right side of the screen is slightly darker than the rest of it. Also I think that the left side of the screen might be even more slightly brighter. Basically, that the screen is not completely uniform in brightness, though it is most noticeable on the right side with the area being darker. The issue is very slight and is only noticeable on solid background colors, mainly whites and other light colors.

Anyone else have something similar and I should just ignore it? Or is it a defect and I should RMA the monitor...

Many people have reported the same issue. For instance see aramandos

Is there any way to reset BACKLIGHT HOURS?

Enter "service menu" Hold menu button down while powering monitor on, release and press again. In the new advanced menu you'll find the possibility to reset backlight hours.

Look at me still giving advice on this monitor I no longer owne :rolleyes:
 
Try opdating drivers. Vsync forced in CCC always worked for me.
However I found enabling it amplified the lag in games. I couldn't live with it.
And to clerify: The tearing in games on the HP is no worse/no better than any lcd.
IMHO gaming was really the place where this screen excelled ;)
 
The text:
As I wrote earlier I don't believe my HP speciement was in any way faulty.
When I returned it I actually asked the retail store to test the monitor for this text issue I experienced. They later replyed that they had tested my monitor against a demo HP 2475 and found no text problem on either.
So I still think that it's is just a question of how suseptable one is to the way text is represented on the HP.
If it has any bearing my gfx is a ATI HD4870
