REVIEW: HP Pavilion w2207 Part 8
Factory settings
This option allows the users to restore factory settings, thereby undoing all changes.
 |
The HP w2207 also comes with MyDisplay monitor software. After installation and update from the HP homepage, this software can be used in its full functional capacity. The user-friendly software contains a range of truly useful features such as a simple calibration assistant. The automatic turning function for the pivot feature can also be activated here.

The MyDisplay software offers a variety of additional features.
The HP w2207 uses a TN panel that, according to the manufacturer, allows for a contrast ratio of 1000:1. Together with Hewlett Packard’s BrightView technology – a glossy or glare layer -, the monitor leaves the user with an extraordinarily good subjective impression of the image quality.
The high black value produced by the good contrast characteristics is remarkable, at least for a TN panel monitor. However, the HP w2207 cannot achieve the excellent black values of a LCD monitor with a VA panel.
Although BrightView produces a subjectively better black value and better colour brilliance, light falling onto the monitor is reflected more strongly than on a monitor with an Anti-Reflex layer. The reflection is most noticeable when the monitor is switched off; at these times the monitor could almost be used as a saving or cosmetics mirror.

Fortunately, the HP w2207 reflects the light significantly less strongly. Nonetheless, users with glossy panel monitors should take care that the monitor is situated in such a way that no window or other stronger light source is located in front of the screen.

When switched off the HP w2207 could be used as a mirror.
The manufacturer advertises the maximum brightness as 300 cd/m². Our own measurements gave us a minimum brightness of an astonishingly low 6 cd/m² and a maximum of 259 cd/m². Since normal working brightness levels are generally between 120 and 150 cd/m², we consider the brightness resources on the w2207 to be absolutely sufficient.
In terms of illumination, the HP w2207 is the best of all 22-inch widescreen LCDs tested by Prad so far. On out test model, only minimal lighter areas can be made out at the upper and lower panel edges when a completely black image is displayed (black screen saver) in a darkened room.
