Review on Hewlett Packard LP2065 Monitor: Silver Bezel, Analog 1600X1200, USB Hub, Height Adjustment - EF227A8#ABA by Muggsy Ramirez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very, very good, good for me

I bought this monitor to use with my HP LP3065 monitor in a PLP setup. I previously bought a Dell 2007FP which was absolutely awful. The image was yellowed like old parchment and looked antique next to my HP 30 inch IPS screen. On the other hand, this monitor can keep up in almost all areas. I can't match the picture exactly but they are very close and above 70 the white is whiter than on my LP3065. At a brightness below 70, black tones are blacker. I've noticed very little image burn-in when a window is left on the screen for a while. The stand is phenomenal. Better than the stand on the 30" version, but that might just be the weight difference. The 30" version comes with a bulky stand that I can never hold the monitor perfectly level on. The LP2065's stand holds the monitor rock solid at any angle and height. However, it only rotates in one direction. In order to get one of the monitors far out there to work in portrait mode with the backlight, I had to remove the stand and screw it back on the wrong way round. For clarity, it rotates Monitor only goes in one direction to portrait mode, so if you're using two of these and want the power light to shine far out, you'll have to turn one of the monitors upside down to do this - that's not really a problem as the holes match, but there is a gap because the mount isn't symmetrical PROS: Nice picture, and I mean nice Intuitive OSD An amazing stand, for the most part CONS: Silver tone it's ugly. I want it to be the same color as my LP3065. DVI input only. HDMI and DP are becoming more popular and some people may need different inputs, especially for a multi-monitor setup. The monitor only rotates counterclockwise to portrait mode, not clockwise. However, if you mount the monitor upside down on the stand, everything should be fine. Very slight image burn-in, ie if you leave the window on the screen for a while and then close it, the image is ghosted. left behind. I'll have to investigate this further as I've only noticed it when working on Linux and not Windows.
