Hello,

I have HP monitor, model w2338h and I want to connect it with HDMI cable to my HP laptop. The problem is that colors ...blacks to be exact are washed out and I can't calibrate it at all. Maybe monitor is defective? Any ideas?

I have the same monitor in my office. I use it with HDX18 laptop from HP. I had same issue, but when I used VGA cable, everything was fine. Not sure why but HDMI cable doesn't realy work good for laptop connection (not sure why).

But Xbox 360 via HDMI look great

this is weird ...I would expect HDMI to work better than VGA cable

i believe it is not that model people are having problems with. I heard some HP monitors with HDMI connections are getting the same issues. Maybe try updating the driver. Visiting HP's support site might help too.
