While it's true that vertical scan frequency is not supposed to be an issue with LCD monitors because they simply lack the phosphors of a CRT monitor, the vertical scan frequency does have a maximum refresh rate (in the case of the w22, 75Hz) to support motion, although it will not refresh static images.
No Knowledge !

The reviewer says " HP recommends that you use this monitor at the 1680x1050 resolution at 60hz, which is a very low refresh rate using the analog cable. You would have to lower the resolution even lower, at 1440x900 to get a faster 75Hz refresh rate."
This is an LCD Monitor ! There's nothing such as refresh rate in an LCD Monitor there's no difference in 60Hz or 75Hz as Technology of an LCD is totally different. I say read this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refresh_rate
Get the Dell instead

This review finally puts it into perspective. I got one of these and thought it must be a good or at least decent monitor since it came with my PC, I was wrong. It takes forever to warm up, and since it doesn't adjust, I had to rig it up to see it best. I still use it because I didnt pay anything, but if I had to, I would have picked a Dell monitor.
Avoid This Monitor

Wow, thanks for an honest review finally. I got this monitor with a PC package we bought, and it's horrid. The colors always look washed out and the built-in speakers sound terrible, plus you cannot add a subwoofer. I was considering a Samsung monitor and should have asked for that instead.
