Review on HP W2408 24 Inch Widescreen BrightView: Enhance Your Viewing Experience with Crystal Clear Visuals by Brent Hajric

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good monitor, technical support So-so!

I wanted a big screen that would rotate for years. When I saw this one with good reviews for $439 plus shipping, I jumped. I'm really glad I did, it's a very good screen with a fast response time. Even though I have upgraded my computer it is much faster than my old 19 Viewsonic, Editors' Choice 5 years ago. This applies to all graphics cards I've tried. I had an issue with my graphics card, an older one, and called HP support, spent 1 hour and ended up right where I started. Pretty nice guy but for some reason he wanted to sell me an HP computer and a new graphics card etc. What's wrong? Now you will get ads with technical support. If your product doesn't work, we'll sell you something new. So after spending an hour with tech support I put in a different graphics card and reinstalled the drivers and it worked and works fine. The documentation is poor as I still don't know if I can make other adjustments to the image as the menu is limited. Really good monitor for the price for surfing the web and such. I don't use it for gaming so I have no idea how well it performs for that type of application. BTW, I like the way it looks, very glossy black frame, easily picks up fingerprints.

Pros
  • it is very good
Cons
  • Not bad but...
