Comments about HP / Hewlett Packard DreamColor LP2480zx 24" Professional Widescreen LCD Computer Display:
I'm a producer/editor. I do tons of on-air promotions for TV. I need a critical monitor to cut my projects with so when they air there won't be any unsightly surprises.
The monitor MUST be calibrated with "DreamColor Advanced Profiling Solution" device, that adds another $350 to your investment.

Comments about HP / Hewlett Packard DreamColor LP2480zx 24" Professional Widescreen LCD Computer Display:
I BOUGHT THIS DISPLAY FOR COLOR CORRECTION PURPOSES IN COLOR BUT, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. FIRST; IT HAS RED COLOR CAST AT THE BOTTOM LEFT AND RIGHT CORNERS OF THE SCREEN AND SECOND IT EMITS TO MUCH HEAT SO I EXCHANGE IT FOR ANOTHER ONE AT THE B&H STORE AND THE SECOND ONE ALSO HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

Comments about HP / Hewlett Packard DreamColor LP2480zx 24" Professional Widescreen LCD Computer Display:
Pros: This is a beautiful monitor. I'm a nature photographer and work almost exclusively in Adobe RGB. This monitors built in profile is a real plus. In addition, the LED backlighting and IPS panel make for wonderful viewing for photo editing My previous monitor was an HP LP2465 which my wife is now using and loves. I did not compare the LP2480zx with other high end monitors before purchasing so I won't comment in that regard. I picked this monitor based on HP's usually good quality products and my experience with the LP2465. The LP2480zx monitor is easy to setup with multiple video connection options.
Cons: Not sure what usefulness the display assistant software is so after some experimentation I have stopped loading it. HP's manual doesn't provide much information other than setup and connection diagrams. I could have figured that stuff out without the manual. This monitor can only be profiled using the DreamColor Advanced Profiling Solution (APS) so add an additional $350 to the price tag. I already owned X-Rite's EZColor but the monitor OSD doesn't provide individual adjustments for color, contrast, and brightness in a way that worked with EZColor. I purchased the APS package but the software wouldn't load using Windows 7 64bit. Once you get the APS to work it's easy to update through the application. However, X-Rite doesn't list the HP APS on their site even though the software and colorimeter are made by them. After a long Google search I found a link to an update at X-Rite. After installing the update, I couldn't profile the monitor because I kept getting a message that the USB hub wasn't connected even though it was and it functioned. At the time I was using an Nvidia based 1GB, GT 240 graphics card connected through the HDMI port. On a guess, I switched the connection to the DVI ports and the APS software recognized the USB connection and I was able to profile the monitor. Apparently there is a conflict with at least some Nvidia cards connected through the HDMI port. For a short time I connected the LP2480zx to an ATI HD 5750 graphics card using the display port. The monitor worked well and I was able to profile it. However, that card was defective (another long story) so I went back to my trusty ATI HD 2600. Once I got the APS to work, it was easy to use and improveed the color accuracy of the display. More importantly, now I can maintain color accuracy by periodically re-profiling.
HP has very little information on their site regarding support for this monitor and its profiling kit. I admit I went through a lot of struggles and frustration to get the monitor profiled but now I'm very pleased with it. Hopefully this information will assist others who are interested in purchasing the LP2480zx. My review is not meant to discourage.
My System: ASUS P5K3-delux, Windows 7 64bit, 8GB RAM, 2.4 GHz Intel Quad Core processor.
