I4U recently posted a review for HP’s w2207 LCD monitor. This widescreen 22-inch display features a resolution of 1680×1050, a contrast ratio of 1000:1, a response time of 5ms, and a pixel pitch of 0.252 mm.

Excerpt from the review:

The integrated speakers are rear-facing units so you don’t have to look at speaker grills on the front of your display. The speakers sound good with decent mids and highs, but lack bass for my tastes. The display stand on the HP w2207 22-inch widescreen monitor adjusts for height only.
