This HP monitor may not be the most aesthetically pleasing model available, but its smart design and excellent motion clarity makes it worth consideration.

It utilizes a standard IPS LCD panel, limiting contrast and brightness compared to premium options with microLED or OLED backlighting, but its default Standard picture mode still hits sRGB color gamut and 2.2 gamma almost perfectly; for wider gamut coverage the Native mode provides 93% coverage of DCI-P3 color space with slightly lower dE values and 93% coverage from DCI-P3.
