 returned item November 2, 2008

I returned the product, (HP 22 inch monitor) unopened as I found a similar if not better (22 inch 1080 monitor) for $75 less. I use Amazon whenver possible as the service has been excellent, However,as a retired senior on a fixed income, I have to shop carefully. The HP monitor that I returned was my first choice as I was replacing an HP 20 inch monitor with a 22 inch monitor.

The HP w2207h is a great monitor. Very clear and yet compact for it's 22" wide angle. I take lots of high resolution photography and in the month or so that I have had this monitor it has not let me down!
So far so good November 1, 2008

Just got two w2207h's yesterday, but not from Amazon.
First I agree with what others say:
- the speakers are inadequate. OK, they stink. Pointless. Worse than the cruddy $10 speakers on the second computer. You have to use the soft menu to change the volume on the built in's, and its not fast, like when your wife is addressing you and you need the sound off NOW. (I am whupped or what?)
- On the recommendation of others, I did not install the HP software, just use the nVidia software driver on one PC with a wicked video card, and the Intel onboard video driver on the other PC, no problems.
- yes it is glossy.
- yes it is set for max brightness, just turn it down if you do not like.
- yes it does not have DVI inputs. You can get away with the VGA cable, until you get a nicer cable.
Somethings maybe not covered:
- you want a video card that can support the monitor's resolution of 1680 x 1050, and supports image rotation. Both of ours could. I would guess any recent nVidia-based card would.
- you have to lift the monitor up before you rotate it, or it will bang on the lower platform. Also, right before it gets to the final position, there is a 'bump' that 'locks' in, it feels like a cable is being stretched.
- make sure you leave a loop of each cable or you will be stretching a cable, since you will not be able to tell the difference.
- using the nVidia or Intel driver, I first rotate the image then rotate the monitor. Windows XP gives you about 15 seconds to click on "Yes" to accept. If you rotate the monitor first, you have 90 mouse action.
Feels 'solid', no 'bobble-head' feeling with these monitors.
No bad pixels on either monitor.
 Good monitor with some drawbacks October 8, 2008

I use this monitor for word processing, spreadsheets, and the internet. I do not watch movies with it. I use the monitor in portrait mode. It comes with software to allow portrait mode, but this software is unstable. I spent three hours with tech support trying to get the software to work properly. The lessons from this experience are that HP is willing to spend any amount of time with you on the phone, but their tech support representatives are so poorly trained as to be useless. I learned more from 5 minutes research on the internet than I learned in the 3 hours that I spent on the phone. Most video cards will have software that allows the use of portrait mode. I strongly suggest that you use this instead of the HP software.
The monitor is very well sized to display in portrait mode at 1080x1650. At that resolution, the monitor is exactly the right width to display one page width of text. The stand is incredibly adjustable to make it easy to get just the right position. Many of the competitors may work in portrait mode, but the stands are not up to that task. One interesting feature is that if you turn the monitor from portrait to landscape mode or vice-versa, most video cards can detect that and automatically adjust the picture (but not with HP's software).
The monitor is extremely sharp in its native resolution. Make sure that your video card is capable of displaying in this exact mode. Sharpness is way off in 1600x1200 mode or any mode above or below the native resolution. Many people prefer lower resolution modes to make the type size larger. This is not a very practical solution with this monitor (but there are other ways in Windows to make the text larger).
The screen has a lot of glare on it. It took me quite a while to get used to it, but I now prefer it to a matte screen. The glare on the bezel is BRIGHT. I put electrician's tape over it to get rid of the glare. Yes, that looks like crap, but I could not use the monitor as it was.
The connections are HDMI. Unlike other monitors, there is no DVI connection, and therefore, you will likely need to buy a special cable.
Overall, I like the monitor a lot, but it does have its limitations and drawbacks.

Its a great monitor, I would say this as a HDTV instead of a monitor. Some say the speakers are OK, I would this is more than enough for a great HDTV monitor like this.
