This looks nice, but I'd probably still go with the Dell 30" has more inputs, looks a bit nicer and dell always has quality stands.

The last hp 30" inch monitor that I read any reviews on had major issues and a short lifespan. Hopefully this one is different.

Does anyone know if it's just not technically feasible to do a 30 in TN panel? or if at the size the shortcomings of TN become to glaring?

Actually, the XHD3000 is S-PVA, not TN. (According to the tftcentral.co.uk panel search). Hence the slightly lower price for its size, but still decent quality.

A TV will only output 1080p resolutinon = 1920x1080

Monitors this size or even 27 will go to around 2560x1600. You need a graphics card that can also output these resolutions - anything around an NVIDIA 8800 or higher will do it.

Theres a big difference in the way it looks. My neighbor was trying to show off one day to me with his 46 inch bravia used as his computer screen. I told him it looked like butt because everything was stretched out to fit on the screen. Then I told him to come to my house and look at the Dell 30" monitor I have and he was amazed how everything looks sharper and right when using the right resolution.

At a certain screen size you have to upgrade the resolution or everything becomes stretched to fix that screen real-estate. Television is different because you normally aren't reading pages of text or have user interface controls (buttons, listboxes, checkboxes) that need to be manipulated so everything looks okay. Once you connect a computer to that tv you quickly understand why the lower resolution of tv's is not appropriate to use as a full time computer monitor.]]>Jul 28th 2010 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/hps-30-inch-zr30w-ips-lcd-monitor-reviewed-exceptional-perform/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/hps-30-inch-zr30w-ips-lcd-monitor-reviewed-exceptional-perform/Jul 28th 2010 8:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/hps-30-inch-zr30w-ips-lcd-monitor-reviewed-exceptional-perform/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/hps-30-inch-zr30w-ips-lcd-monitor-reviewed-exceptional-perform/Jul 28th 2010 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/hps-30-inch-zr30w-ips-lcd-monitor-reviewed-exceptional-perform/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/hps-30-inch-zr30w-ips-lcd-monitor-reviewed-exceptional-perform/Screen resolution.

You're out of your mind. The iMac's screen is eye meltingly gorgeous. So is the display on an iPad. The iPhone's display isn't IPS tho, it is some kind of subset of IPS.

The iPad has a nice screen but I, for one, was actually let down when I saw it in person. Sure, it's light-years ahead of your typical TN laptop display (though that's not saying a whole lot, in and of itself) but compared to the Dell U2410 that I'm typing this post on, it just wasn't that spectacular.

Don't get me wrong, though, if that display were used on a real computer, laptop or tablet, it would make my next portable computer purchase that much easier.]]>Jul 28th 2010 10:08PM
