Hewlett-Packard w2007 monitor

Hewlett-Packard w2007 is an elegant, attractive 20.1-inch widescreen display in a silver body with a shiny black frame. Like most 20-22-inch wide displays, the w2007 has a native resolution of 1680X1050 pixels which offers plenty of room for your desktop and applications. Its contrast ratio is a super 1000:1, which is unusual for a monitor in this price range. The unit's brightness is not unusual, but it has a rating of 300 nits, which should be more than enough for almost any use. In fact, we expect most people will want to crank the brightness down a bit, if not drag on the nuances.

HP has chosen to equip the w2007 with a bright LCD screen. Brilliant panels have their advantages and disadvantages, in particular, they display the vivid colors and rich, deep blacks, but they also tend to show more reflections mat LCD panels. We believe that the bright LCD panel to be great for watching movies and display photos, but we are easily distracted by thoughts of substance when viewing dark images. This will doubtless be more of a problem in a company that in a home or home office.

The w2007 stand offering tilt and pivot capabilities, but has no height adjustment and rotation options. The stand uses a pseudo-Lazy Susan system that allows the screen to rotate a full 360 degrees, but the swiveling display this measure is likely to end the tangle of cables. However, the linchpin of the system is a convenient feature, especially if you review the documents with colleagues on the screen or if you want to show a photo for one of your neighbors cabin.

Connectivity is limited to standard VGA and a compatible DVI-HDCP. We believe that this is the bare minimum of connectivity to a display, and we would prefer to have other options video input. In agreement with the bare minimum theme, w2007 lack of USB connectivity, but it includes a DVI cable.

Ultimately, our complaints about HP w2007 are relatively minor and can easily be offset by its many assets, including net text, good image detail, vivid color and deep blacks. We also like w2007 budget-friendly prices. This monitor would almost certainly be on the shortlist of anyone who is considering buying a 20.1-inch widescreen display.
