HP w22 Review
March 08, 2007 | by Ian Bell
We bomb the HP w22 22-inch LCD monitor for poor performance and not including a DVI cable.
Snip:
"The w22 features a 5ms response rate and 1680x1050 resolution which is great, but HP neglects to mention the 700:1 contract ratio anywhere in their manual, you have to download the specifications in PDF form from their website to get actual numbers. HP recommends that you use this monitor at the 1680x1050 resolution at 60hz, which is a very low refresh rate using the analog cable. You would have to lower the resolution even lower, at 1440x900 to get a faster 75Hz refresh rate.
Included with the w22 monitor is the warranty manual, audio cable and an analog VGA cable. A DVI cable is not included and will run you $20-$50 dollars (depending on quality and length) adding to your overall investment. HP backs the w22 with a 1-year warranty that includes a 15-day replacement plan if they find your monitor to be defective; the warranty they provide is better than most companies, but not as good as the 3-year warranty provided on HP’s commercial monitors.
