 An excellent monitor for its price October 2, 2008

I bought this monitor about two months ago and could not be more pleased with its quality and screen size. Actually, I bought it after reading the user reviews on Amazon. I was nervous at first as I was migrating from a 19" Sony crt which weighed about seventy pounds, and it was time to buy an LCD.
I initially looked at Dell and their new monitors, but due to the cost factor and user reviews, I ended up buying this HP. I couldn't believe how well this thing was wrapped and boxed. There were no "dead pixels" and I'm using the standard resolution from the factory.
Also, since I built a new computer from scratch, my graphics card GeForce 9800 GTX, came with the adapter for DVI to HDMI, so it was not an issue. Also, this monitor comes with a standard VGA cord, but to get the correct clarity you'll need the DVI to HDMI adapter.
I use AutoCAD and Chief Architect software as I design custom homes, so I was looking for a monitor that had extremely tight text and graphics quality. This monitor has not let me down.
Take a look at other monitors like Samsung, Dell, and others and read user reviews before making the decision to buy. It's one of the most important decisions you'll make besides having a fast PC or Mac. Also see one of these monitors on display at Best Buy or other stores and judge for yourself. I couldn't be more happy with buying this excellent monitor. I works fabulous with pictures and Photoshop. I'm not a graphics designer so I can't speak for color correctness.
There are other monitors that are three to five times more costly, but for the money, this HP 2408H will be very hard to beat.
I bought two. I like them very much. September 19, 2008

I bought two. I like them very much. Had to go out and buy HDMI cables. The colors are very vivid but I'm mostly doing programming and database development so it is mostly the available real-estate that I love. The glossy screen means I'm often seeing reflections of things behind me, a minor negative. I think they are a great value. Decided to go this way rather than add a 30" display to the 21" I already had on my Mac Quad. I would recommend them.
 Very Pleased September 10, 2008

When I first viewed this large screen monitor, I was totally amazed with the deep contrast and color saturation. The stars in my Hubble Orion nebula wallpaper sparkled almost like real stars. Nothing in real life creates the glowing colors and intense visual experience this monitor puts out. BUT, within about a minute of turning it on, as my amazement with the color saturation subsided, this monitor's serious problem with vertical viewing angle became apparent. While it is true that the monitor does quite well in the horizontal-you can move your head side-to-side and not notice any change in color or saturation-it is a very different story in the vertical. Move your head up and down even one inch and you see changes. Don't move it at all, and you will still seen conspicuous differences in the contrast and color saturation between the top and the bottom of the monitor. I have a solid color neutral gray field for a database layout that covered about half of the monitor. You would never have guessed that it was only one shade of gray. The problem is not near as apparent with whites, so if you look at large white backgrounds you might be happy with this monitor. Otherwise, you better save that box it came in and pay close attention to how it is folded up to get it back into the box. I traded up to the more expensive Samsung SyncMaster 245T, which costs 50% more, but has absolutely no issues in view angle in either horizontal or vertical and has more realistic look than the over-to-top colors and contrast of the HP W2408H. The SyncMaster has the coating that is present on better LCD monitors that helps reduce view angle issues and creates a matte finish. The HP lacks it, which is why it has a glossy finish. I'm very happy with the SyncMaster, but dream of a 24" monitor that has the HP's intense colors combined with the SyncMaster's freedom from view angle problems.
Beautiful color and Quality August 22, 2008

I just purchased this monitor from Best Buy and it looks fantastic! This HP monitor has a resolution of 1920-1200. It looks really big once it is placed in the computer table and it has a HDMI connection. It also comes with two USB port connection. I know the HP monitor is a little expensive, but you will love it. Anyone interested in buying a computer monitor, should definitely buy this.
