HP announces new displays (ZR22w, ZR24w)

[Hornet331]

i was hoping the ZR22w was 16:10... but its another 16:9....

i was hoping the ZR22w was 16:10... but its another 16:9....

i pray its not, i saw one spec saying its 1920x1200, and another saying it simply supports 1080p resolution of 1920x1080

no hope left...

No need to really get worked up about LED Backlit not being available on these monitors. As LED backlit on any available monitor at this time is only edge-lit anyways (no local dimming or anything to produce deeper blacks or a more vivid picture). They do help with providing a thinner bezel and reduction in energy usage, but for $425.00, they can't include everything and keep it affordable. Besides, by the looks of it, the bezel is pretty thin as it is on this monitor.

Same reason for not having HDMI included. HDMI = Liscensing Fees = Higher price passed along to the consumer.

no local dimming

I understand, there really isn't a monitor that fits for everyone. Being one who places high value on low-input-lag and precision in fast moving games, I would have to think that the circuitry and hardware level code execution time needed for a local dimming and dynamic contrast features would only add to input lag.

AFAIK, that's why LCD TV's usually have a PC or game mode that makes the picture look like crap, but decreases the input lag substantially.

I just got a Nec EA231WMI. It's a great monitor, much better than my TN panel. The colors are awesome, really nice for viewing pictures. The response time is rated at 14ms but playing L4D, it's not really an issue. It's not as fast as my TN panel and you do notice that it's very slightly slower but you forget about it after a while. It doesn't really affect gameplay.

Oh, I whole-heartedly agree, I just think people put too much emphasise on whether the panel is LED backlit or not. I'll take CCFL all day long, I'm not too interested in LED until OLED is introduced at prices that the average consumer can afford.

Read a bit about this one: HP DreamColor LP2480zx You will be surprised.

Touche. However, still a long way from an affordable price the average consumer. Glad to see this tech is coming along though, hopefully a couple years down the road this will be an affordable option.

Could be any: IPS, S-IPS, H-IPS, P-MVA or S-PVA... Don't know any HP model with E-IPS, but all HP models with one the above panel you see have: 178° for viewing angles at details.

Among all brands I tried, HP is my favorite when it comes to LCD monitors. They have "some models" with a solid construction, good color reproduction and it's not just the panels, cause even other branded use similar panels yet don't look that Good (Dell is the 1'st the comes in my mind). I could even compared HP with Nec or Eizo at a more affordable price. If you add a good calorimeter to this equation, you have yourself a monitor good for a professional environment which is also good for video content and decent for games.

Was expecting some 120 Hz models for 2012 and few emerged but all of them use crappy TN panels, which i.m.h.o. it's very important for an LCD (panels type).

LE: I checked, both ZR22w and ZR24w use H-IPS panel.

They can't be H-IPS at that price and not being wide gamut.

[jfromeo]

ZR22W and ZR24W CAN'T be H-IPS/AS-IPS, just taking into account their price (and response time, 5ms is typical for new E-IPS panels, where 6ms is for H-IPS/AS-IPS ones). They both are E-IPS.

[KingOfsorroW]

The E-IPS are soo lame. I happened to buy a nec 2490wuxi2 that carries that kind of panel and the white glow was worse than on some TN screens. Good thing it died the same evening it was delivered so I had my pile of cash back with no problem. If the HP displays will have the same panel - I will skip on them. I will wait for the NECs PA series in hope that the 3Dlut actually works...

It's a H-IPS panel made by LG which is cheaper. Some monitor specific sites which I trust say (not presume) that it's H-IPS and they didn't fail me so far, by giving false informations. Even when a manufacture (like Samsung - for example) switched with a different type of panel, that information was available - regarding two type of panels for same model. It's true that so far we have 3 different informations if you check google (IPS,S-IPS and H-IPS), but the sites I trust say it's H-IPS (http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/ for example).

HP ZR22w - 8ms G2G 21.5" WS LG.Display H-IPS (LM215WF2)

HP ZR24w - 5ms G2G 24" WS LG.Display H-IPS

I hear your reasoning, but I just don't believe these will be H-IPS, and I stand by the original reasons I gave for that. But I guess we'll see for sure soon enough.

[BrowncoatGR]

Here's the datasheet: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/pscmi...eet_120409.pdf
It does have a DisplayPort connection BTW.

EDIT: I'm a little slow I guess....

According to the datasheet Helmore linked the monitor is a H2-IPS panel, whatever that is. Supposedly it has improved energy efficiency. Could be just a marketing name. Also the monitors disappeared from HPs website for now. I'll wait for a review from either TFTcentral or Prad but they do seem very interesting especially considering the low price tag.

You mean Price? I'll repeat myself, the panel is made by LG - as in LG technology. LG is well know for their research regarding better panels technology at lowers price and it's fact, that LG panels are the cheapest available cause of that, wile on the opposite part we have Hitachi with high quality components, from which results a more expensive technology and maybe that's why they offer the most expensive panels on the market. Note: - I'm talking just about "panels" not the all LCD package.

This are not the first HP monitors with H-IPS, at a little higher then 500$ HP LP2475w is already available since late 2008. The technology used wasn't even known back then, they simply call it "the NEW S-IPS". Then later they gived a new for it - "H-IPS".

The reason you see NEC with this panels, cause you might say they helped with this technology. The polarized films from the the back of LCD, is made by NEC - so called "advanced true white". And of course a NEC with this panel is at a double price, since the panel it's not the only LCD components and let's not forget the NEC brand hype, on a same page with LaCie, yet still far from EIZO.

============

If HP checked the effects of this news and noticed you guys think they're to cheap, they might up the price to satisfy you. They have no problem with UP-ing the prices to satisfy the customers.

[KingOfsorroW]

So I guess the h2-ips is actually the same thing as e-ips. Just different names...

Yes, I know all of this, but you are misunderstanding me. The LP2475W is H-IPS caliber price for a mid-range model, ie: not Eizo or NEC. The price of the ZR24w, is less, along with not being wide-gamut, tells me that it will not be H-IPS, but e-IPS, or perhaps a newer variant of it.

I understand all of the technology, and the differences. Hence why I have my reasoning at where it is.

[Jordan]

Comes in 22" (~$289) and 24" (~$425). Due at retailers next month.

Can anyone here tell me roughly the price HP's outgoing LP2475w came in at in the US?

I'm in the UK and unfortunately just doing a currency conversion would tell me nothing about what price they will be over here! I just want to know if these should be any cheaper than the outgoing model - if they're cheaper over there than the previous model then hopefully they will be cheaper here!

The 24" went for about £420 here... though it could be had for around £380 with certain HP discount codes on the official site.

Glad I didn't order 3 U2410s. Can't wait to see how you like them.

[Helloworld_98]

not available in UK yet

[kevikev]

Where is the ZR30W? :P

[MysLex]

I really hope that someone that purchased this monitor is kind enough to write a review of this monitor as im very tempted to purchase one of these.
