HP W2207H 22-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor Reviews
Unlike other monitors, there is no DVI connection, and therefore, you will likely need to buy a special cable. The connections are HDMI. It took me quite a while to get used to it, but I now prefer it to a matte screen. The stand is incredibly adjustable to make it easy to get just the right position. I learned more from 5 minutes research on the internet than I learned in the 3 hours that I spent on the phone.
This is not a very practical solution with this monitor (but there are other ways in Windows to make the text larger). The monitor is extremely sharp in its native resolution. 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. Make sure that your video card is capable of displaying in this exact mode. Many people prefer lower resolution modes to make the type size larger. I do not watch movies with it.
Overall, I like the monitor a lot, but it does have its limitations and drawbacks. Most video cards will have software that allows the use of portrait mode. Yes, that looks like crap, but I could not use the monitor as it was. I use this monitor for word processing, spreadsheets, and the internet. I spent three hours with tech support trying to get the software to work properly. 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 glare on the bezel is BRIGHT.
Many of the competitors may work in portrait mode, but the stands are not up to that task. Sharpness is way off in 1600x1200 mode or any mode above or below the native resolution.
I use the monitor in portrait mode. I put electrician's tape over it to get rid of the glare.
The screen has a lot of glare on it. It comes with software to allow portrait mode, but this software is unstable.
I strongly suggest that you use this instead of the HP software. 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).
Some say the speakers are OK, I would this is more than enough for a great HDTV monitor like this. Its a great monitor, I would say this as a HDTV instead of a monitor.
Basically plug and play set up. Great for having two windows open. Vivid screen works best for video. No issue with install. Included speakers don't appear to work very well, I have not tried to tweak them as using external speakers and I notice a slight hum from the screen, which again is not something I have tried to adjust. probably the best feature for me, that I didn't even consider when purchasing, is being able to twist the screen from landscape to portrait mode instantly and the picture adjusts automatically. Very useful for web browsing.
We are very satisfied with this product and would purchase another if we needed one. This monitor is superwe love the size and rectangular shape and the image it provides is very clear.
I bought a DVI card and honestly can't tell the difference. It's a nice monitor, blindingly bright at first but there are plenty of settings to play with, even the defaults don't seem to bother me anymore. This one is 1680 x 1050. I'd have returned the monitor if I hadn't read the bad reviews of the cable while troubleshooting - it seems a common issue with that cable.
My cable died overnight after under 6 months. If you only have a VGA video card you can probably find new drivers. Now the tips. All you need is an adapter (you can find them on Amazon for less than $5 inc. Don't buy the HDMI/DVI "Cables Unlimited" cable that Amazon lists under "Frequently Bought Together". Don't buy this monitor for the built-in speakers. This monitor ships with an HDMI cable.
shipping). They are bearable for computer sounds but make music sound like second-hand music from someone's MP3 player. Besides not needing the cable, the Cables Unlimited one isn't very good. This LCD panel has an optimum resolution. Just forget it's got speakers.
