My main monitor is currently an HP w2408h. I've had it for about three years now, it's a TN panel and there's a stuck green pixel, so I thought it was time to upgrade to a better quality piece of kit. I use my PC for about 50% general use, 30% gaming and 20% graphic design work.
So I just took delivery of an HPZR24w, and got it all set up. But so far I'm really disappointed with it and I'm considering sending it back.
The immediate thing I notice is the horrific amount of glare. Now I sit across the room from a large window, which was occasionally a problem with the glossy-screened w2408h, but only rarely. The glare on this is so bad it's making my eyes hurt. And it's a matte screen!
Adding to that is the fact that the colours are so dull and lifeless. I'm not expecting some blinding rainbow, but it would be nice if things looked a bit better than the cheapo 22'' LG I use at work. I've tried to follow the instructions on TFT Central, but I don't like any of their settings. Maybe it's a case of being too used to the old screen, but the picture really isn't impressive at all.
Is there anything that anyone can suggest, or is it just not 'right' for me? I'm just surprised it's not any better than my old screen really. Maybe I was expecting too much.
