Also of note is their 22" S-PVA for not being yet another TN. I hope it doesn't lag as bad as the 2408w. http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/news_arc...htm#hp_lp2275w

This is great news. DoubleSight will have some competition.

*Drool*
That panel looks awesome... But IPS is so expensive!

I want a 24" so bad though... i'm still stuck with a 19 samsung.

This is a great news! It is nice to see a new IPS, especially Europen market really needs it

The listing in Europe is just around $1000 without tax.
Really hoping this is a nice alternative for us Europeans.

And of corse you need to add the cost of another stand, because those HP stands are just hurting my eyes real bad

well its not TN thats for sure, also not MVA at that price. The specs make it look more like a PVA based panel. Note the gamut is wrong, samsung states 97% for its latest S-PVA LCD module(used in 245T, DELL 2408WFP/9).

IMO the price is definetly spot on for an IPS.

HP has described it as S-IPS in a few different documents, so it is probably safe to assume it is a new, unannounced panel. If this is the case, I bet we can expect new product announcements from NEC and others soon.

Hopefully the LP2475w will be cheap enough to be a viable alternative to the NEC 2490 for those who don't need/want to pay extra for an internal LUT. The monitor was listed with a "coming in august" release date on some of the HP press materials, so we should find out more in the next couple of weeks.

I say wishful thinking. I'll go out on a limb and say it will be more expensive than the NEC.

Hence the "hopefully". Given the prices of some of their monitors I won't be surprised to see this one priced more than it is worth, but since the LP2475w is being positioned as the "cheaper" alternative to the LP2480zw, I *hope* they'll price it to be competitive with the NEC 2490. At or around that price point, it would be a very attractive option for people who don't need the LUT.

If they price it much higher than the 2490, I wonder what kind of a market they would really have for it. The internal LUT of the 2490 is a pretty important feature for people looking for professional quality monitors.

On the bright side, even if this particular monitor is priced too high to be worthwhile, the fact that there is a new 24" IPS panel at all is good news. I'd love to see what Doublesight or Planar could do with it.

Maybe even LP2475w will have a LUT?

"HP Display Assistant is a software utility that enables theft deterrence and allows monitor adjustment, color calibration, and security/asset management using the Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) protocol of the connected PC"

Well, nearly anything WS with IPS is wellcomed in Europe. In Britain they have Hazro, but in the continental Europe, there is only NEC 2690, LaCie 526 (re-branded NEC) and now still rather expensive HP LP2480zx.

I have it confirmed that the monitor will be with S-IPS panel. It should replace LP2465 (S-PVA), most likely will not have internal LUT, but will be very well priced (~500 euro in EU? But I really don't know about the price in USA, I got my info from the Czech HP).

Yes but it is it sure to be IPS in North America? There seems to be some panels that are IPS in europe and VA or even TN in North America. LG is what I am thinking of now, but I hardly trust most panel makers at this point.

I think HP tries to enter the high-end market, so I doubt they would risk this way. But of course, let's better wait for the first LP2475w units

The HP canada site has this monitor listed as S-IPS, so does the UK site and several other countries... the monitor is not listed AT ALL on the U.S. site, which is kinda worrisome. It has been referenced in some US press releases though, but that was without any details on panel type or specs.

Guess we'll find out in a couple of weeks.

This will be great, putting a PVA panel in the LP2456 was a mistake IMO. Hopefully this is a worthy succesor to the LP2335.

i'm crossing my fingers...

would there finally come a single decent 24" monitor in the EU?

I certainly hope so. I'm tired of recommending quite expensive NEC 2690.

In fact, retailers in Sweden seem to be already selling them.

Quoted price is between 730€ and 900€, and they have estimated delivery dates from 1st August. Given the fact that they are not actually shipping them as of now, it's difficult to know if that's the real price or if it will change later.
