Also included is a mini-headphone audio cable for the internal three-watt stereo speakers. Like the HP, Asus’ power supply is internal. Inside are DVI, DisplayPort, HDMI, VGA cables, and a standard power cord.

The packaging is a stout carton sporting a carrying handle, with dense, rigid foam to protect its contents. The technology is identical to the different flavors of IPS in that the individual sub-pixels are aligned parallel to the screen instead of perpendicular. Despite the age of the tech used here, the benchmark results should demonstrate that significant improvements have been made in contrast and overall color accuracy since H-IPS first appeared on the scene.Īsus’ panel is based on a Samsung PLS part similar to the one that we recently tested in Samsung’s own S27B970D. Its main strength is white balance accuracy, thanks to the use of an Advanced True White polarizing film developed by NEC. This is first-generation IPS tech from 2007, back when IPS panels first came to market. The ZR2740w uses LG’s H-IPS panel as its core technology. Rounding out the connectivity suite are two pairs of USB ports, one side-facing and one down facing and a type-B upstream connector. A computer is the only way to display an image on the ZR2740w. This means no connecting Blu-ray players or other TV-type sources. The absence of both VGA and HDMI ports is a clear sign of the business-oriented intent of this product. DVI and DisplayPort are the only choices. The inputs face downwards and are clustered near the left side of the panel. The other two keys switch on the power and cycle between input sources.

The only adjustment available is brightness, which is controlled by the plus and minus keys. One of the first things you'll notice is that there is no button for the on-screen menu that’s because the ZR2740w doesn’t have one. These also have a nice expensive feel to them. The lower-left corner sports the model number, while the lower-right corner is home to the four control buttons. At the top center is the HP logo embossed in silver. Light reflections won’t be an issue with the ZR2740w. The image goes right to the edge (as it should) and sits behind a high-clarity anti-glare screen. It measures 22 mm wide on the top and sides and 32 mm wide on the bottom. If you want to use your own bracket or stand, the HP accepts a 100 mm VESA mount. All of the movements are very smooth, yet each position also feels very solid. You should have no trouble setting this monitor up on any kind of desktop. Ergonomic adjustments include height, tilt, swivel, and rotation. It’s made out of the same high-quality matte-finished plastic as the panel’s bezel. The base attaches without tools and is quite substantial.
