For PC games, there's no reason not to take the ZR24W. If you're planning to hook up a console, a 16:10 monitor without broken scaling, or a 16:9 monitor like the u2311h, would probably give you a better experience.

@logman: from HP's Pixel Policy: A different type of defect caused by microscopic contaminants within the manufacturing process can also be found. Contamination results in a dark "stain" covering one or several sub-pixels. They are not pixel or sub-pixel defects per say. No contamination is...

@spitz: I'm now wondering whether the corner shine could be caused by backlight bleeding messing with the polarization layer(s) in front of the LCDs. 1. Pressure on the panel from uneven mounting or from being depressed by the bezel would slightly alter the viewing angle of a given edge -...

That does look pretty bad spitz, but that's based on what my display is showing me. :) If you don't feel like exchanging it, you could always try changing emacs' colour theme. For comparison, these are the two displays I've used: Both are shot in a completely dark room but for the...

Maybe not, but going by the experience I've had these things are pretty variable in quality/performance. It does seem to work/help more on one unit than the other. That being said, I have found a few RTC artifacts in static images lately, this one is the most repeatable. Watch the edges of this...

@Baenwort: Thanks for the tip about HCFR, but I'm having a heck of a time figuring it out. The english manual is decent in terms of grammar and most spelling, but it feels like a lot of the actual content/context was lost in translation. I have some questions about it as I don't have time to...

Yeah, i installed the Spyder software before I chose a colorimeter, it is nice in that it gives you actual figures. The hardware quality of the Display 2 is supposedly a bit more consistent, but with the LT version software all you get is "Calibration Completed!".

@AndeeG, if you can point me to a free/trial calibration suite that gives you an actual readout, I'll tell you what these ones are like.

Time to relate my experience with this thing. Which really, is "these things", I'm on my third. Bought it at NCIX, someone was asking about that recently, I have no complaints with the 0DP coverage thing so far, except that if you don't have a monitor already (my last one died) and you want...

I've thought of it. But for roughly $300, you're far worse off if it doesn't work - at least the monitor can be useful. The cause of the problem with the ZR24W scaler is still unknown. another-user has been helpful enough to do some further PS3 tests for me while I wait for mine to arrive...

On a personal note I bit the bullet and ordered the ZR24W. I'm sure I'll be happy with it for PC use, but I'm not looking forward to the unavoidable scaling on the PS3's picture. I almost want to get a cheap WG monitor to try this swap, but it probably won't happen. This thread is more about...

Ok, so most of your responses have been about the technical aspects. I haven't looked into it deeply, but I don't see that it would be that difficult. You open the monitor up, unclip or unsolder the old tubes, and attach the new ones. Assuming you're using the correct sizes to replace them...

So here's the situation. I've been locked on here trying to choose a new monitor, and at the moment it's 60/40 for the HP ZR24W or HP LP2475W. For me, the former's major downfall is the broken scaler, the latter's that it's wide gamut. My CRT held out until last month, but a few years back I...
