So basically it would probably be the same as going through the USB hub, I guess. I am surprised there is no info on this, but I guess no news is good news, for if they can get fried this way, there would be someone complaining about it on the net. Anyways, thanks Zaro82z for all your input...

Thanks Tomcaster, I too had the fever but my midterms provided a flu shot. Now they are over (took the last one today) and I will be all over this monitor. Expect more input also. I liked the Harzos but they don't have a dealer here in the US as of yet so they were not in the picture. I am...

I am so glad that this thread has been helping others. I was weary about starting it, since each panel had its own thread, but it was far to much to read all the pages to get the info you need. I do notice it more than I thought I would, but if it is an inherent feature of the H-IPS that...

Oh, I see, just make fun of the noob. Great! ;-)

Thanks again Zero82z:D Anyone know where I could look for more info one this? Should I contact a hub manufacturer (which of course will tell me they have never had someone call in with such a question)? Also, is it true that network drives are not prone to such failures? I would think...

Thanks for correcting me. I am glad to know that the only way I could have avoided this in this type of panel was to pay almost twice as much. I will post more info (including pics) once these dreaded midterms are through:eek:. Hotdogstorm, How far should I be sitting from this...

Glad I could help Tomcaster69, Yeah, it has gotten to the point where you have to do a dissertation just to find the right monitor or whatever you need in technology land now. Things are moving way to fast and the levels of information are manifold. It can get daunting and that is why I...

Just to report back, I got the 2475w and as of now I have the following comments: The backlight bleed is more than I thought. I am getting a lot of "white bleed" at the corners even looking at it straight on. I will try to post some picks, but at this time, I believe the comments will also...

Thanks Zero82z and tdg, I know that any psu can fail and fry the components. What I am wondering is if such a failure did occur, would it also fry EXTERNAL usb devices connected to it only through usb and if I had an external hub, if that would protect peripheral attached to it (because...

WOW no input at all on this issue. Come on guys, help the uniformed ;-)

Hey Guys, Don't know if this is the correct place but I have a question: Could a PSU or motherboard failure cause a spike that can ruin connected usb peripherals? If so, will this also happen if you use a distro box expander, like the d-link, which has its own power supply? I ask this...

OK, I have pulled the trigger on the HP LP2475w after many days of analysis paralysis. Now I have to order the eye one display 2 and try to figure out this calibration thing. One question I have in respect to this is, if you calibrate your monitor, will it hinder your ability to use the wide...

Does anybody know the drawbacks and benefits of a 24 vs 26 in monitor with the same resolution?

Seems like the Planar has a 3 dead pixel warranty (Where HP only requires one (not stuck but dead pixel) :-(. But they do have a warranty where they send you a replacement as they check out yours which is pretty cool.

Thanks Snowdog, So it comes down to dot pitch and inputs, huh? I dunno, it seems a switcher can give you all the inputs, except the display port, for the DVI-D gives you the same quality as an HDMI and you can just use a hdmi to DVI-D input. However if there are any problems with this...
