HP ZR30w

Pros: These monitors are great if you get a good one.

Cons: But, if you get a bad one and decide to use HP's warranty, prepare for the worst experience of your life.

Summary: I started out with a screen that had a stuck bright pixel. If I had just returned the screen where I originally bought it I would have gotten my money back. Instead I decided to use HP's warranty. Six monitors later I still have a bad monitor! It is apparent that HP's warranty doesn't provide you with a new monitor but rather refurbished monitors that are not truly fixed by HP but are merely shuffled around from person to person. Here are some of the issues I've had: stuck bright pixels; damaged frames; flickering screens; uniformity issues with color splotches; noticeable burn-in that lasts a a dozen or more seconds after a window has sat in one spot for a minute or so.

Sadly, since I no longer have the same serial number monitor and box, I can't return it to the original place where I purchased it. I've had this monitor for 30 days, and I'm surprised that HP can't simply send me a new unit instead of the never ending succession of broken refurbished units. I finally just filed with the BBB.

Make sure wherever you buy this monitor has a no questions asked return policy, and DO NOT use HP's warranty or suffer the same fate I am still stuck suffering as I write this review...
