Driver

I like this monitor, but I am having trouble with the driver. Using Vista home and it only recognizes a generic pnp driver.
Love it! Works well with 20" Intel iMac!

Right out of the box, no issues with compatibility. I was impressed with how closely it matched the monitor in my 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (new 20" iMac). Of course a little tweaking was still in order through Macs onboard system color calibration. I'm a graphic artist and I love to have most of my 'tools' panels open all the time. So this was the primary motive for buying it. I have bought, and returned many LCD monitors, in the past, for various reasons but not this time. Very, very pleased.
Best bang for your buck

This monitor is amazing!!!!! I totally love it! I am blown away by its amazing picture and quality! The image is just incredible. I originally had a 19' dell and as soon as I got this one I could see a major difference in the image quality.
Great For The Price

I spent several weeks reviewing LCD monitor Reviews all over the web. I currently own an NEC MultiSync 90GX2 17" with opticlear (gloss screen). While the HP w2007 is a great monitor for the price...I still feel that the 90GX2 is a better built unit. It also costs about $100 more and included a USB port with 2 slots.
The w2007 has a wonderful picture and mine arrived without any problems and included the DVI cable. Setup was a breeze and from box to desk it took all of 10 minutes.
The software HP includes is basic and was not of much use. I used my Nvidia software to set all the settings, and removed Hp's.
At $239.00 I didn't expect to get a higher refresh rate than 60Hz. Although I would have preferred at least 70Hz. I contemplated the 22" HP but, I didn't want the .28 dot pitchas opposed to the 20" .25's crisper resolution.
Quirks/Rants...Why put an illuminated blue power button at the top with the user's field of vision. Bad place. No USB hub...come on guys...for an extra $10.00 you could have gone the distance. The cable management system is basic at best. NEC does a much better job. The speakers are not worth a comment as I knew they would be useless anyway. No harm...No foul.
The choice of a silver base may be more eye candy appealing but, a black base would have been less noticeable and made for cleaner lines all around. The lack of a height adjustment does not bother me personally.
I primarily use this monitor for gaming with an Nvidia 8800GTS 512mb card.
All in All it is a worthy purchase for the price.

Great Monitor that is now DEAD and past warranty
by Grant Borden on Dec 15th, 2008 at 2:25 PM:
Imagine if your SONY TV stopped working after 1 year and they said they wouldn't help you... you just know that wouldn't happen and until HP steps up and changes this lack of respect for their products, themselves and you the customer there is no reason to buy HP products. Almost all of the other computer companies that produce monitors have a 3 year warranty and they are as good or better than HP monitors.
