HP W1907

Pros: good picture, glossy, affordable

Cons: flimsy and limited usefullness of stand, 1 year warranty, ymmv quality, no DVI cable

Summary: I had it for a week. The glossy screen and frame are nice. The picture clear and color are accurate and vivid. Backlight bleeding or leaking is minimal and barely noticeable with black background. Good value for the money (paid 200$ CAD).

What I really don't like is the stand design. The base has some small soft fabric cushions underneath that makes the whole monitor less stable than it should. Also, due to manufacturing defect, the monitor might not be perfectly horizontal and you can't do anything about it since the stand only lets you tilt the panel.

Also, the HP only backs this product with a 1-year warranty while other companies give 3 years. This might say something about the quality over the long run.

In fact, the first one I got was very bad: the backlight bleeding was horrible, color reproduction was non-uniform and the control buttons felt like they were going to fall off by any minute. I returned it and got a new one that is far better in all aspects.

So, keep in mind that YMMV with this one.
