[So-Many-Deals: Thanks for that. Not one person thanked or even said which place they're purchasing from. It's even available on eBay from HP Direct for $150.]
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).
I have 2 of these monitors and just ordered 2 more for my spouse's workstation.
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.
$124.55 with EPP discount at HP.com.
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.

Bought one. Good for home office use. QHD/ 90 Hz. Had some problem (no sound) after firmware update, but reinstalled and OK. Connected with one cable to AMD laptop. Shows me 60W charge.
Seems like a great deal. In a multi monitor set-up, 25" and under is ideal. Two 27" monitors seem overkill and take up a ton of real estate. For me, 24 -25" has always been the sweet spot.

What did you reinstall?
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?

No secret where to buy it from in my opinion, but HP.com was the cheapest if you had the employee discount. They also have the worst return policy, but I didn't plan on returning anything that isn't defective.

HP.com I think is still the cheapest if you couldn't get the EPP employee discount. (HP via Ebay or HP via Walmart too.)
There are many others. I'm just surprised at the silence on place of purchase, except for your post mentioning HP EPP.

After firmware update thru windows HP app I had a error and no sound. Then I downloaded drivers on HP site, install and sound work.
If you bought this monitor and want a working mic go to HP display center app(I installed on Windows) and on audio tab deselect "Microphone Noise Cancellation"!!!!!!!

So is that to say that "noise cancellation" doesn't work with this monitor?
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?

Not a secret, just inadvertent omission..I bought the first two in March from HP.com and another two from HP.com again.
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.
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.
The HP website says that this is not compatible with MacOS. I assume that's because the drivers for the webcam are windows only, which is fine since I don't need or want the webcam function. Either way I bought one from Walmart and will do some testing. I'll report back if for some weird reason this monitor doesn't work at all.

Thank you so much for that clarification. I have an older PC with a USB-C port but it might be for power delivery only rather than graphics.
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.
Does anybody have any experience connecting this to a MacBook? Do all the functions like webcam, mic, audio, charging work?
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?
