No problem.. I do believe your HP is a PVA model ($400+ for a 24" is *usually* a PVA). Most monitors below 24" are TN-film, with a few exceptions, like the older 20" Dell Ultrasharps (2005FPW & 2007FPW I think). A couple years ago, every 24"+ monitor was PVA, and nearly everything smaller was a TN-film, but now TN-films are getting larger.

The *only* benefit (other than price) to TN over PVA is response time. The best PVA panels are round 5-6ms, and the best TN-film are around 2ms. However, I'd bet that 99% of people out there can't tell the difference between 6ms and 2ms - that's the equivalent of trying to *SEE* the difference between 167fps and 500fps, but the human eye can't see faster than ~75-100fps at most. My 24" 2408FPW Dell Ultrasharps are PVA panels with 6ms response time, and there is NO ghosting in any way - watching movies/sports, quickly moving windows on the desktop, gaming with FPS/RTS/WoW.... so the *only* tech benefit for TN-film over PVA isn't even useful. My 2405FPW (5-year old Dell 24" Ultrasharp) is a 16ms PVA, and the ghosting was only slightly noticeable in some games. I highly doubt anyone can actually see ghosting in any monitor with a true 8ms or lower response time. And if they could, I'd rather have the much better color depth and viewing angles of a PVA panel over TN-film anyway.
