HP Introduces Z-series Monitors with IPS Panels
HP introduced their new Z-series monitors at SIGGRAPH 2013
In conjunction with SIGGRAPH 2013 in Anaheim, CA, HP introduced new professional monitors that carry the same Z-series branding as their workstations. These monitors are all built with that HP calls IPS Gen 2 panels (other manufacturers call it AH-IPS) for better power efficiency (HP says nearly 26%) over their earlier IPS panels while retaining the better color response over TN Film panels. The HP Z22i and Z23i offer 95% sRGB color space coverage, while the Z24i offers 99% sRGB coverage.The monitors are designed for users who need better color accuracy, and are designed and tested to go with the HP Z-series workstations.
The bases on all three monitors are adjustable for height, tilt, swivel and pivot to the portrait position. They also feature EPEAT Gold Certification and are TCO Edge Certified.

The HP Z22i, Z23i and Z24i Displays are available today for starting prices of $239, $259 and $399, respectively.
Wake me up when 1600p becomes available under $250 on a 24" screen.
Seriously, people, read your own comments. They sound like that.
You better be prepared to go into a deep space hypersleep then, because it's going to be a VERY long wait. It sure won't be within the next three years, you can bet on that.
30 vertical + 240 horizontal. About 18% more total pixels with a 1080p display. Not enough to justify replacing it just for the heck of it but certainly enough to think about if you actually need to replace it.
You can get 20" 1080p LCDs for as little as $110 these days which makes it difficult to settle on anything less for new purchases.
I like it. I hope someone not build 6 bit AH-IPS panel like they did with e-ips so that all AH-IPS is true 8 bit.
