Available in this price range in so many places (Amazon, eBay, Walmart, etc.).

In going through the very few review comments, some commented about driver issues, speakers, camera not always being on, but they likely all got resolved by changes in settings, power timeout settings, driver updates, firmware updates, etc. I'm not happy with HP's speed of driver or firmware updates (compared to Dell), but hopefully no future windows releases will present problems. One doesn't have to worry about the basic screen working, but there are opportunities for problems presented by the integrated additional components (mic, speakers, camera, hub ports).
It's a rare to find a 24" 1440p with refresh rate over 60 Hz. (This one is 90 Hz) So even though the PPI isn't as great as a 4k, it's going to be much better than 24" 1080p or the common 27" 1440p.
I use them for office work and light gaming. No Nvidia G sync or AMD free sync, but I haven't noticed any tearing. Granted, I only occasionally play FPS.
The webcam is decent and the speakers are usable (they aren't tinny sounding, but are a bit soft). The mic is fine. I haven't tried the ethernet as my dock has an ethernet port.
My one complaint is the webcam pop-in and pop-out sometimes makes the camera not detected. Therefore, I just leave it popped out all the time.
In for 2. Insane specs for the price.
EDIT: QHD on 24" is gorgeous. This is an excellent example of a "nook and cranny" monitor or something that can be kept discreetly in a living area when you don't want the home office big screens.
My first experience with this size/resolution was the Samsung USB-C Model 24" Viewfinity. I returned it because it had a splotchy AR coating.

The firmware update, the device driver, or the physical connections?
I've been waiting to buy a 27" QHD and going from a 15.5" laptop screen. I got out the measuring tape to show 24" (actually a 23.6"?) screen. It's actually so much larger than I thought and does take up valuable desk space. So, 24" it is. Nice to have the speakers, mic, camera, hubs because I'm hooking it up to an older micro-PC without any of that. Seemed like a good match compared to a barebones monitor.
This has been around $150-$170 for a while. Leftovers probably from large productions for the pandemic. I wonder why it got upgraded to a G4 version. They seem to have the same specs and look. I wonder what changed. Big price difference, of course.
Looking at comments in other threads and elsewhere, some said they were missing or needed a cable to make all the other built-in accessories work, but they didn't specify which one is missing. I haven't read the manual, but it might need a second cable for the camera, or speakers, or maybe it was for the dock. Either way, HP sent it each time. Wonder which one.
Nobody's saying which place they're buying from. Why the secret?
There are many others. I'm just surprised at the silence on place of purchase, except for your post mentioning HP EPP.

Maybe there's something else that's an issue, like latest driver, or whatever.
Is it necessary to use the "HP Display Center APP"? Can't we just load the drivers off the HP site?
I'm not a big fan of HP's APPs.

What I suspect is happening is the companies that make the actual display panels are phasing out/no longer making 24" 1440p panels. That's why it's so hard to find them, while 27" 1440p are a dime a dozen.
This is the same reason why HP.com was fine with me. I didn't plan on returning unless defective because I specifically wanted a 24" with a higher refresh rate.
The cable that is needed to make all the accessories work is something that connects a USB-C port on the monitor to a USB port on your computer. My first set of monitors each came with a USB-C to USB-C cable to do this. No USB-C to USB-A cables are included. Therefore, if you don't have a USB-C port on your computer you'll need to buy an adapter or a cable.
See step 2 and 3 of the quick setup guide to see the cable requirements:

My second set has not arrived yet.
Edit: a PCPartPicker search for 24" 1440p with refresh rates > 60 Hz will show you there are very few choices available to actually buy. This monitor is actually the cheapest/second highest refresh rate available.

Failing that, it doesn't even have a HDMI, just a DisplayPort (and an older one).
We'll see what kind of resolution I get out of it. I'll use it for something else if it doesn't work out.
I read on the Walmart site: "Not compatible with Mac products." Is that a statement or is it just that they won't answer any questions or provide tech support for folks connecting to Macs?
I've owned an older Z line HD monitor for over 10 years and it's been extremely color accurate.
From their website
The monitor supports a wide range of color gamuts, including DCI-P3, NTSC, and Rec. 709, making it an elegant choice for web design, photography, and video creation across both Mac and PC platforms.
