try all of them & see which one looks the best for you, as all screens are not the same.
 
I'm still waiting to hear from HP about getting my monitor replaced with a new one instead of the five defective ones they have sent me so far as replacement monitors. It's been a over a week now and not even a "thank you and we are dealing with your enquire" email. I spoke to HP warranty supported and their hands are tied. All they did was add a line to my email I sent to customer support saying that I was unhappy with the fifth monitor which I had already told them before hand.

If they don't get back to me by Friday it's going to be another call.

guess they are waiting for me to get bored and give up.
 
hoping someone can help here....
I've had this monitor for a while now, connect my PS3 to it via HDMI sometimes....
the monitor has a ditigal coaxial output on the back, which it takes from the hdmi source
I have the spdif out connected to my soundcard on the pc, via a converter box (coaxial>optical), so the sound for the ps3 comes out the pc speakers
the sound works fine when using the ps3 menu, or watching movies with the os3, but whenever I play games there is no sound at all

any ideas ?
 
Happened to notice that these have shot up to £506 ex VAT direct from HP. :eek:

If you are interested in one you might want to snap one up just in case new stock comes in at this price.
 
Got mine today....absolutely brilliant picture and it's really great for gaming.Tried Crysis, fallout 3, Fear 2, WoW, all looked real good especially the colours/lighting and played all at 1920x1200 maxed even Crysis.

The size is very big, the stand is very easy to use plus solid and the buttons on the lcd are very user friendly.(menu too, it's easy to setup.)

No ghosting at all either in games or well i haven't noticed any yet i move pretty damn fast in fps games too.

Got zero deadpixels too, it's very quiet and fits great on my desk.

Overall extremely pleased.:)

I used these settings too by the way:

Brightness: 17
Contrast: 65
Red: 251
Green: 235
Blue: 242

I'm having a problem with the screen "blinking" out for a split second but it only seems to occur once post-boot up, usually within 5 to 10 minutes of using my PC after Windows Vista has loaded. I've noticed it happening twice on separate occasions while scrolling down a webpage in Firefox 3.5 but I've never seen it happen while playing a game.

I'm using the latest v190.62 WHQL drivers for my graphics card but I've seen the issue with the other drivers too so I don't think it's a driver issue myself. I never saw this issue at all with my old Dell E228WFP monitor so what is causing this... any ideas? Is the monitor or supplied DVI cable faulty?

Since it seems to happen within minutes of Windows loading could it even be a piece of software that is causing it?

Check the event log, it may be the graphics drivers crashing and reloading.
 
I didn't think to check the Event log so thanks for that, HazardO. Usually driver crashes and recoveries are followed by a message onscreen though and I've not seen any of those. It doesn't appear to be a crash, the screen simply blanks out for a fraction of a second once each time my PC is turned on and then I can resume as normal. There's no blue screen, freeze or anything of that sort.

I'm going to switch to the other DVI port on my graphics card tonight to see if that gets rid of it and failing that I can try the second DVI port on the monitor itself. The issue seems too predictable to be a hardware fault though, it's almost as if a piece of software is changing the refresh rate or something.
 
I picked one of these up a few weeks ago and I'm very pleased and impressed with it *once it's up and running*. It has a nasty habit of failing to recognise that something is trying to feed it a picture, and will regularly scan though all inputs finding nothing and eventually go to sleep, even though my PC is plugged in and working. It will also initially find the input, and then lose it again (and go to sleep) when it cuts out briefly during booting. The only reliable workaround I have found so far is to hit the PIP/POP button to prevent the monitor from going to sleep, so it doesn't forget about the signal.

Anyone else experiencing similar issues, or is this a fault? Firmware GIG072, hardware GIG153 (latest, I believe).

What gfx card are you using? also did you set the default input in the menu to the one you are using?

Gfx is an nVidia GeForce GTX 275 (latest WHQL drivers from nVidia); Default input is correct.

Is it Gigabyte model? i have one and it has same problem but it's a known issue with them hence why Overclockers stopped selling them probably as the was complaints on here about it.Apparently their latest bios releases for the 2 models fix the problem but haven't tried it yet myself.
