Having played this fine game through on PC with a 22in monitor I was struck by how much more of an impact it made just by moving from a 22in to a 24in display. The two inch difference may not seem like much, but if youre wavering then you really should think again it does make a difference. In general use, its even more pronounced a 22in display will have a resolution of 1,680 x 1,050, which is not bad, but a 24in display will give you 1,920 x 1,200, which is that bit more usable. Many have realised that a 24in display is really the optimum in terms of native resolution, physical size, and cost, and with recent price erosion due to the use of cheaper TN based panels, as found in this HP, it is set to become increasingly popular. Certainly the price of this HP is going to get a lot of peoples attention and it has to be said youre getting a lot for your money. It has to be said that the black and silver works very well, even managing to get away with a large green backlit power button sitting at the very top of the display. Hp W2408H Monitor Manual Adjustments ThisNestling inside the left hand side of the bezel is a ambient light sensor that will automatically adjust display brightness based on light conditions, though if you make manual adjustments this turns itself off. Along with the 24in 1,920 x 1,200 resolution panel, you get both an HDCP compliant HDMI port and a VGA connection too. Hooking up to a DVI equipped monitor can be easily done via an adaptor. Unlike the Dell 2407, theres no component or composite input on this display, which is clearly going to be one area of cost cutting. The real answer would be to have a monitor with two HDMI ports or both HDMI and DVI. ![]() If youre wondering how the two ports at the bottom can be considered to be easily accessible then well done, as this leads me nicely on to another great feature on the w2408h, the fantastic stand which offers both tilt, rotate and height adjustment and is the same design as featured on HPs 22in w2207. The spring loaded stand is oblong and does sit firmly on the desk, but also rests on a circular disc that enables it to pivot side to side as well. Hp W2408H Monitor Free Up SomeThe stand also provides a very agreeable place to stow your keyboard, should you wish to temporarily free up some space on your desk. In fact, if you have an HP keyboard, youll find its designed to sit perfectly in the indentation which is a good bit of design. While it also has a small amount of forward tilt, about five degrees, the screen will tilt all the way back until it faces directly upwards, which is obviously not going to be much use. However, it conjunction with the height adjustment, with a range of 8.5cm, it enables you to get the optimum viewing angle. The monitor will also rotate to the side giving you a full portrait mode, which is a great feature at this price. The design is clean and simple and there are four buttons on the bottom right. Pressing the menu button brings up an OSD which matches the stylish design of the externals, giving a consistency of design. Unusually, the menu doesnt offer direct access to brightness and contrast. ![]() The speakers are placed at the rear of the monitor so your not getting the sound projected right at you, though its a moot point as the sound it pretty feeble Ive heard better from 2W speakers, and it actually distorted as I raised the volume, which was disappointing.
