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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Everything is fine except - my new rating

Yes, this monitor has a good picture (clear, bright, no dead pixels), lots of features, lots of cables, easy to use, but. The reviewer who noticed the top to bottom color shift is right! This monitor has such a limited viewing angle that at my typical viewing distance of 25-30 inches there is a very noticeable difference in image brightness from top to bottom; The same problem exists on the horizontal (left-right) axis, but to a lesser extent. When viewed from a much greater distance, color shifts are reduced because the change in viewing angle from top to bottom is also reduced. But I bought a 24" monitor because I wanted to see more detail on the screen at the same time; that goal is totally lost when I have to search between 48" and 60". This monitor is NOT for you if color accuracy is important .(like photos)!If the ambient light sensor is doing something I can't tell (Update: I've disabled the sensor!) The limited viewing angle of this monitor greatly detracts from what would otherwise be an amazing monitor!

Pros
  • Large size, incredible color, pleasing to the eye and pleasing to the eye. The best monitor I've ever had.
Cons
  • Poor quality stand.
