HP v28 4k Monitor (3840 x 2160), 28 Inch, AMD Freesync, (2 HDMI, 1 DP) - Black

Product Information

In the Image menu, you can play with Picture-in-Picture, where you can view two inputs at once, a helpful productivity tool. 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.

Without any advanced backlight features though, like FALD or effective dynamic dimming to boost contrast in HDR, the monitor’s contrast ratio will be pretty equal whether in HDR mode or not. There may be cheaper monitors in the U28’s performance bracket, but the U28 is a reliable, accurate monitor with enough nits to help it shine brighter than some competitors.We can also confirm that HP’s low blue light feature, which is always on, does not impact color accuracy -- at least across these three presets. It just looked darker, and I could see a reflection on darker scenes at the closer third of the monitor. With Windows’ HDR mode activated, the U28’s brightness and color controls are grayed out, so there’s no tweaking available via the OSD.

Or via the usual means of leaving a review on the product page of the retailer you bought the item from.Reading reviews can provide a fantastic alternative to being able to actually see and try the product for yourself. The good news is that the U28 shows virtually perfect EOTF tracking, closely following the yellow line representing perfect. 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 bottom also holds a tiny but bright LED indicator light, informing you of the U28’s power status.

Upping the brightness from default 45% to 90% and higher didn’t horribly hurt image quality, but in some cases, especially when there were very bright areas in the scene, there was a drop.HDR mode isn’t tweakable, and its colors aren’t saturated enough and it doesn’t offer a noticeable visual upgrade over SDR. Read through the product description provided by Argos to see what the key features are for HP V28 28 Inch 60Hz 4K Monitor. With wide viewing angles and a lot of movement allowed by the U28’s stand, I could get up close and personal with the screen and position it at just the right angles when doing detailed photo work and then step back and check out my work from different perspectives. In HDR mode various colors, from a fuschia dress, to T'Challa’s dark green blazer and orange light coming through a window looked good. Windows in general and web pages looked extra saturated, with red in particular delivering extra pop, greens looking stronger than normal, yellows less washed out and richer blues.
