The 22-inch HP LP2275W is a bit more expensive than many other monitors in its screen-size class, but that's because it uses a high-quality S-PVA LCD panel that offers improved color performance over less-expensive options. This monitor is clearly geared to professional work. The less than high-def resolution (1,680 pixels by 1,050 pixels) and lack of an HDMI input makes the LP2275W less than ideal for entertainment use and the relatively sluggish pixel response times will leave gamers unsatisfied. However, color reproduction is excellent for serious photo editing or other graphics use. Ample height and tilt adjustments make for good ergonomics, and a wider than typical viewing angle makes the LP2275W suitable for presentations or collaborative work. DVI and DisplayPort inputs are provided for compatibility with PCs and Macs. There's no VGA input, but a VGA to DVI adapter is included for those with older computers.

We found some useful reviews of the HP LP2275w. The most comprehensive is at TFT Central Shorter but still useful write ups can be found at PCMag.com, Macworld and CNET. User reviews are limited, but a small selection can be found at Newegg.com.

4. CNET

CNET gives the HP LP2275w its Editors' Choice award. The lack of an HDMI input and some red push that means calibration is needed for best image quality don't significantly detract from the fact that the monitor is the best performing one that the site had tested to date.
