HP gaming monitor review. Updated 2023 pricing, screen size and resolution details Reviewed and rated using scores for brightness, screen quality, color balance and value for money. Is this HP monitor right for a PC gamer? Boasting factory color calibration and accuracy worthy of video and photo editing and the like, the U28 just manages to deliver on its color accuracy claims. Its Photography P3 mode crosses the 3dE visibility mark by a hair, but we’ll give it to them. And with a 2.7 dE sRGB color error score, it’s fit for sRGB work as well. Power menu has a Power Mode, where you can activate a Power Saver mode that disables some features,like USB-C video, USB power delivery and the wake from sleep via PC function. There’s also an Auto-sleep Mode, but you can’t control the timing; it’s either on or off. As you can imagine, pricing is one of the most important factors of any purchasing decision. We can find the perfect product for our needs, that fits the brief in every single way. But if it doesn’t fit our budgets, we simply can’t (or at least shouldn’t) buy it.

The HP U28 4K HDR monitor is a smart buy in that it does what it promises. Its IPS panel is colorful and accurate. Whether looking at SDR content on the web or switching to the P3 color space for creative work or movies, the monitor comes with accurate color presets that make productivity and entertainment enjoyable and true-to-life. And its bright screen makes it a good fit for any room, no matter how sunlit.

HP V28 4K Features

Are we sure that the display is only 8bit and not 8bit+FRC? Because all panels on this price range are actually 8bit. The Standard mode’s P3 accuracy is particularly good news since you can squeeze a little extra contrast out of the U28 there.

Price is another really important factor for analysing the quality of HP V28 28 Inch 60Hz 4K Monitor vs other products in the PC monitors category. It’s obvious, but you will need to set your expectations of quality based on your budget and the price of the product you’re looking at, against the price of alternatives. The Color menu also has presets called Standard, Gaming, Night and HP Enhance+, which you can set to Low, Medium or High. Standard looks very similar to the Photography mode, targeting the P3 color space, as we’ll see in the following tests. HP Enhance+, meanwhile, is supposed to sharpen the display, but I felt it looked artificial and made some text look oddly uneven. There’s also an RGB Gain Adjust section in the Color Menu with sliders (up to 1,023) for red, green and blue. PICTURE PERFECT – This Ultra HD 4K monitor offers 4x the pixels of Full HD for significantly sharper, more premiere image clarity, so you’ll never miss a detail (3840 x 2160 resolution at 60 Hz) If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands. That way when you come to the point where you’re comparing product options you can filter to only show the products from brands in your list.

The Color menu offers seven presets. The default is “Photography (P3 D65),and, as the name implies, is meant for use with the DCI-P3 color space. The web and a lot of movies and streaming you’ll be doing is in SDR though, so the U28 also offers an sRGB mode, Design for the web (sRGB D65). The OSD shows values for red, green, blue, white point and gamma for those two presets, as well as for the HD video (BT.709) and Design for print (sRGB D50) presets, but they aren’t adjustable.
