REVIEW: HP LP2275w Part 5
|
|
The power consumption values are at a similar level to those of the Eizo S2231W. However, this model uses 6 watts less in "Maximum usage". In "Typical usage", both models use the same amount of power.
Whilst the Eizo model has slightly better values in standby mode and when switched off without a USB connection, the HP LP2275w is slightly ahead when the USB connection is active. In standby mode, the HP uses 3,8 watts less, for example, and if you have 4 USB connectors available, you will of course wish to use them.

The HP LP2275w also offers a power switch with which the monitor can be separated completely from the power grid. Unfortunately, this is in such an awkward position that you can only reach it if you perform a few contortions, provided that your fingers are long enough.
The HP LP2275w and Eizo S2231W are quite close to each other in terms of power consumption, whereby neither of the two models can be described as especially sparing. However, the HP still offers a power switch and therefore has a slight advantage.
The connectors of the HP LP2275w are located in an easily accessible position at the back of the monitor: power connection with power switch, , DisplayPort, DVI-I (digital and analogue) with HDCP, USB Uplink port and two USB ports. Two additional USB ports are positioned on the left hand side.

The connectors are easily accessible on the back of the model. At the very bottom is the preparation for the Kensington lock.
The HP model seems to have the upper hand in terms of connectors, at least on paper. A DisplayPort input does sound rather weighty, but you have to ask yourself the question who today already has a graphics card with DisplayPort connection. Realistically, only a very small number of users can answer that they do. Although adapters can be bought which allow a DisplayPort output to be connected with a HDMI or DVI input, no adapters allow the opposite connection. If you do not have a DisplayPort output on your graphics card, you can really only use the DVI input on the monitor.
On the Eizo S2231W, a second connection is offered in the form of an analogue D-Sub input. This may sound less sexy, but at least there are more options for application for this connection today.
If you opt for the HP LP2275w, you will be well equipped for the future with the DisplayPort input. At the moment, however, the Eizo may offer a larger variety of connectors. In terms of USB connections, the LP2275w is convincing, since it does offer twice as many as the Eizo.
The HP LP2275w manages with just five buttons. The power button on the very right switches the monitor on and off. The Input button is used to select the signal source.

The HP LP2275w manages with just 5 buttons.
Thus, only three buttons remain for controlling the OSD. The "Plus button" (reset) is used for restoring the factory settings and for navigating up in the OSD. The minus button (auto) is used for automatic fine tuning of the monitor in analogue mode and for navigation downwards in the OSD. The button on the far left opens the OSD and is used to confirm options within the OSD.
Main menu
The OSD is constructed in a clear fashion and comes with all the important options: Brightness, Contrast, Image control, Colour, Language, OSD control, Input signal control, Information, Restore factory settings and End.
