Arriving on Wednesday, HP’s latest 24-inch display should whet your appetite with a landscape to portrait rotation and more. There is a 160 degree viewing angle, and the aforementioned HDCP.
There is also the new 92% wide color gamut, a 4 port USB hub, speakers and a headphone jack. The speakers aren’t much, just 2w and they face away from the user out the back, so unless you put it up against a wall you probably won’t hear much.
Its VESA mountable has a 16:10 aspect ration, 1920×1200 rez @ 60Hz, 400 nits brightness, and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. The response time is a nice 5ms but sadly the backlighting isn’t LED. It should have both VGA and DVI cables and will be out soon, oh, and it looks great too.

That is awesome! I have not seen anything like this before and it is wonderful that HP came out with it since I’m a BIG HP fan.
I have one on my desk as of tonight. So far, I like it. Running at 1920×1200@60Hz from an nVidia 6200 via the DVI port (second monitor is a 21″ CRT at 1600×1200 on the VGA port). Feature of note… the ambient light sensor that changes the brightness/contrast automatically seems to work nicely. Height/tilt stand works well.
I’ a software developer, and don’t do any gaming on my PC. I also don’t watch movies on it.
They claim the viewing angle to be 160 degrees, but the lower viewing angle is definitely not what is advertised. In portrait mode it becomes much more apparent when standing just a little bit to the left of the monitor. The picture quickly diminishes any sort of color aspect that it had and becomes unviewable. I am definitely not satisfied with this. :D
