YMMV!!!

Here is the color-calibrated HP X32 icm profile via the Color Munki Display device. (124.29 cd/m2, 6511K, White point DeltaE 2000 at 0.25)
Need to change the color and image setting in the monitor for the proper color.
Menu > Color > Custom RGB > R 255, G 242, B 245
Menu > Image > Brightness 50, Contrast 80, Dynamic Contrast off, Black Stretch off, Sharpness Level 4
I try to upload in zip files in the attachment and it doesn't let me (error occurs). Instead, I use the DropBox link below.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xgxyet1...X.zip?dl=0

For those who don't know what to do with the icm color profile.
You can add the color via the Display settings > Advanced Display Settings > Display Adapter properties for Display 1 > Color Management > Color Management > Check Box _ Use my settings for this device > Add > search for the files HP X32 icm profiles > OK > Set as Default profile > Done.
If the color of the profile is not to your liking just repeat the step above by resetting the monitor color setting and deleting the icm profiles on the computer.

Use this lagom.nl if want to know how good or bad it is. Because all monitor it is a little different.

Hope this help.

When you press any of the top four buttons (so any of the buttons except for the power button), a display shows on the right side of the screen. Pressing one of the four buttons while that display on the right side is active will activate that feature. From top to bottom, that display shows:
A box with lines
A box with a an arrow going towards the right
3 liquid droplets arranged in a triangle: Green, Red, Blue
What looks like a sun or light symbol

These indicate which button does what. The topmost button, indicated by the box with lines, is the menu button.

Turn off monitor using the power button.
While the monitor is powered off, hold the menu button down.
While holding the menu button down, press the power button, but do not hold it.
Once the HP logo shows up on screen, release the menu button.
Once the monitor fully turns on, press the menu button and access the menu. You'll note that the menu has a new option on the bottom left that is pre-selected in green: Service. Right off the bat it gives you the panel model number, the scaler, the FW Package Version, and the HW Revision.

Hope that helps.

It depends really, some gamers like to see the bigger pixels as it can be a competitive advantage when you're looking for 1 pixel to determine when someone's peeking in an FPS, but generally you want to be able to have a whole field of vision without moving your head left or right to take in everything going on. Curved screens are supposed to make this a little better, but I haven't had much experience with curved screens myself.

Otherwise, the other possible problem is pixel density which is a factor for making the content on the screen look better generally which might be more important for single-player non-competitive experiences. The bigger the screen, the higher the resolution you'd want so you don't see the pixels when you're taking in the experience (whether a game or movie); this can be partially alleviated by distancing your face away from the screen which is typically the case when you're watching TV or playing console games. For PC usage, you're generally pretty close to the monitor so the opportunity is higher that you'll be able to discern the pixels. The other downside is even if the monitor can push those higher resolutions, your hardware might require a significant upgrade to support it.

Back to pixel density, this monitor's PPI (pixels per inch) is 93. The Dell U2722D's (27-inch) is 109. As mentioned before, TVs tend to have lower PPI since it takes into account the distance most people would be from it, the LG OLED55C1PUB's (55-inch 4K) is 80 while the much bigger LG OLED83C1PUA's (83-inch 4K) is 53. The whole idea of TVs going 8K is to close that gap and make content look crisper for really large displays (if you stick your face close enough to the TV to make out the difference), so the LG OLED88Z2PUA's (88-inch 8K) is 101.

In contrast, most smartphones (because you're likely to stick it right in front of your face) have a much higher PPI, the Google Pixel 6 Pro's is 411.

As a competitive gamer I hate giant monitors otherwise this would be amazing. IPS 165hz 1440p that's insane at 200!
What do you prefer 27" or 24"?

Insane deal, though personally I wish it was a 27. 32 is just too big for gaming in my opinion since if you're sitting normal distance you sort of lose some peripheral vision and have to move your head more. For general purpose, videos, work, this is it.

24. Anything bigger than that I am not a fan. I even like anywhere from 22-24. I don't even like 25, 25 is even the spot where I say it's just SLIGHTLY too big for me. It's all preference, many many many pros use 25 inch. But the standard is 24-25. Pick between those two. These sizes are the perfect sizes for competitive gaming.

Tried to search what you're referring to, but couldn't find it. Can you provide link please? TIA!
LG is using a BOE panels in some of their monitors, from what I read the BOE panel is good but some people have had some longevity issues. T he internet is conflicted on if the BOE panel is better or worse and if kaving a BOE it really is an issue or a benefit.
Also if you google "LG VS BOE panel issue" a lot fo links came right up for me

As long as you can output via HDMI or display cable. If those aren't built-in then need adapter/hub.

Sad I missed out on the Treasure Truck deal--this is too big for my needs.

I took a chance on the Monoprice Dark Matter sub $200 deal yesterday. Will post on my experience.

Great price, FYI no USB ports and only 1 year warranty on this if such things matter for your needs.

For the same price, why not buy local from Best Buy? I'd rather keep the brick and mortar in business.
