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.

Mine only had wrapping on the hp logo on the back. I also found it suspicious that it had no wrapping on the front. But the monitor itself looks brand new. Also from best buy.
From the 2 HP monitors I bought, they don't have anything on the screen other than the large Styrofoam bag it is packaged in the box with.

Something strange with this HP monitor. ICC profiles and Windows Night light don't work. Works fine on my other monitors

In my experience extended warranty requires more hoops to jump through than manufacturer warranty, and can be dropped as a credit card benefit at any time.
Not my experience. It was a breeze with Discover when they still had it.

I have a BOE is this an inferior panel than the LG?

Update:
I downloaded and used the color profile and this thing looks amazing !

I set it to gaming profile and set to level 2 fast.

Playing ESO on this one vs my 60hz 32" LG this thing is amazing, my LG had wicked bad glare issues and this screen is matte and just awesome.

I had to go into the device setting to change it to 144hz.

200.00 I should have bought 2 !

Was my thinking. In for one. I had a 10% cashback up to $20 offer on my Chase card, and had a random reward certificate for $5 on my account that expired in 3 days.

Just had it delivered today. It was a LG panel with manufactured date of 3/2022 and zero backlight hours. Mine didn't come with an HDMI Cable, just DisplayPort and power cables. I have extra HDMI Cables, but did anyone receive one in box?

I believe the DisplayPort cable is the correct cable that comes with the package. I think we all have too many HDMI cables over the years of upgrading monitors/tvs.

Where was the mfg date? In menu or label?

Thanks OP, I really really didn't want to buy yet another 32" IPS monitor but yeah -- here we are. Found the 20% cashback on my Chase Freedom Unlimited offers for the $20 off and had a $5 credit from an earlier purchase.

$211.07 (after taxes) - $25 = $186.07 works fine , much appreciated. Now to see whether I get an LG or BOE panel...

Grabbed one of these. I got the 27" version from amazon for $180 and love it. Figure I could sell the 27" for nearly what I paid and use this bigger one instead.
Just found 27' nearly dump

Man this is such a great deal. I don't need it, just want it. Sometimes I wish I'm still single just so I can "buy now/think later". Now it's more like "think now/think later/deal over".
