HP LP3065 Reviewed: Big Screen Beauty

Louis Ramirez — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 20:05:53 EST

Even though we've kicked off a new year, the battle of the 30-inch monitors continues. This time around the folks at ExtremeTech have put HP's shiny new LP3065 against Dell's 3007WFP. It was a close match, but ultimately the crown goes to the LP3065 for its wider color gamut and trio of dual-link DVI inputs (all of which support HDCP).

HP took a little extra time to jump into the big screen LCD fray, but being late to the party allowed them to deliver a 92% gamut display that offers superb image quality and fast response times. About the only downside is the price.

Keep in mind, however, that they compared the HP LCD to Dell's 3007WFP and not the step-up model 3007WFP-HC, which like the HP has a 92% color gamut. In other words, the battle ain't over just yet. – Louis Ramirez

HP Takes on Dell and Apple in 30-inch Monitor Punch Out

We've already given you the lowdown on HP's new 30-inch monitor, and now that HP has given us pricing on the LP3065 (it'll go for $1,699) we can see that it's gonna sit comfortably in between Dell's $1,274 3007WFP and Apple's $1,999 Cinema Display. With a faster response time and higher contrast ratio, we think HP has the upper hand (at least on paper). What say you, readers, which LCD do you think will deliver the best punch? – Louis Ramirez

30-Inch Display Pissing Match: HP LP3065 vs. Dell and Apple

Brian Lam — Thu, 07 Sep 2006 14:19:37 EDT

When we wrote about HP's new 30-inch monitor, you all wrote in asking how it stacks up next to Dell's Ultrasharp 3000WFP (Wide F'n Panel) and Apple's Cinema Display. On paper, here's how they match up, stat for stat...

Resolution: The same for all three, at 2,560 x 1,600 pixels.
Contrast: The HP wins with a 1000:1 ratio, vs the 700:1 found in the Dell and Apple
Brightness: It's dimmer at 300 nits, vs 400 for the Dell and Apple
Viewing Angle: 178-ish degrees for all
Response: The HP is fast, at 8ms vs 14ms for Apple and 11ms for Dell

Of course, we'll have to wait for a showdown before we can pass fair judgement on the HP. But it looks like we have a decent catfight coming up. –Brian Lam
