Over the years, my main monitors have been a transition from an excellent Hyundai Q17 to a very good IPS Philips 200w6cs and now the ZR24w. I was expecting a lot from the zr24w but frankly the philips is better for colour I think.
Not sure how people judge monitors and black levels, but I had both the philips and hp monitors in a dual setup running the same movies and there was more detail in the philips in darker scenes. The hp seemed to blanket a lot of the detail with dark blacks.
I'm going to keep the hp though, it has a good stand and besides, by philips has a horizontal line across the screen now that I can't seem to get rid of.
Bottom line is that I don't think the zr24w is particularly good for watching movies although it must be better than a tn panel. But judging from the tn panels I've seen around, I don't think they are all that bad either.
How do you all find the hp, and are there any suggested colour setups I can try?
