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
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.
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.
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.

It should either start with LIM or BIM in the hardware revision on the side of the box
The monitor is bright even on standard and cinematic (220nits) mode. I will dust off my color-calibrate device and do a calibration on this monitor later tonight. I am currently aiming for 120-130nits, and it is not too bright for the eyes and is suitable for long-term use/viewing if you sit in front of the monitor all day long playing games/work/youtube. I might post the calibration profiles up if enough people want them. Plus, it is better than nothing because all panel colors are a bit different.
Which OD setting for this HP x32 do you guys think is best?
I think gaming OD fast (lvl2) should be good enough. The fastest would be pretty useless because of too much overshoot.
Also, look like this HP X32 monitor use LM315WQ1-SSA1 panel, which is similar to the LG 32GP850-B. There is a review for the LG 32GP850-B via hardware unbox on youtube if you guys are interested. If this is true then it is a bargain at this price LOL.

I've attached a screenshot, but it has the following:
Panel: LGD LM315WQ1
Scaler: MT9800
FW Package Version: 1.2.1.0 (I've read that the Firmware is not user upgradeable)
HW Revision: LIM111
I can't find the datasheet for LM315WQ1; closest I can find is for LM315WR1 [alldatasheet.com]. Hope that helps!
I imagine though that having a different panel would affect, say, the color profile that esc1a made above, which I think was made using a monitor with a LG panel.
Anyhow, I just wanted to share my panel info and where I bought it (since some people purchased from Amazon after they price matched) so more people could get an idea of what people are unboxing. More users sharing data keeps the rest of us informed.
Edit: I'm also curious if Best Buy is receiving units with a mixture of BOE and LG panels in the same batch. I imagine this is done due to supply chain issues, since I know someone who works on building devices for commercial customers, and they tell those customers that their order is going to have a delay of, like 6 - 12 months... though I wouldn't put bait and switch past HP either. The proper approach would have been to designate these as two different but similar models, but HP has no interest in that....
On the bait and switch side... let's say HP ships batches with mixed panels, where some % are BOE panels and some % are LG panels... and let's say, hypothetically, that HP mixed in LG and BOE panels on purpose for the sake of gaining more profit (afaik BOE panels are cheaper). I could imagine some accounting analyst looking at this and saying "y'know, if we replace 30% of the units with BOE panels, we could save $3 million dollars per 100,000 units (these are made up numbers)." Now whether that's the case or not, who knows; I certainly don't.

Summary LG better
For $199, it crushes my 3 year old LG VA panel (32GK650FB) and finally gives me a 2nd 32" to replace the ancient 24" Asus panel I was using as a secondary. Gameplay is buttery smooth and colors look great! Definitely happy with this as a holdover until I can grab a Gigabyte FI32Q as my main for a triple monitor setup
