But it also has a high-quality IPS Black panel and great build quality.
All that said, this is a very expensive display, especially for a 34-inch ultrawide model.
Likewise, the limited HDR support included is that much more conspicuous at this price point.

Of course, that’s the least you’d expect at this elevated price point.
More likely to swing it in your favour is the outstanding array of connectivity.
For the record, HP equipment Bridge 2.0 supports both PC and Mac.
To that it’s possible for you to add a 5MP AI webcam.
Still, there’s decent colour coverage at 98% of DCI-P3 gamut.
On paper it offers much higher inherent contrast than competing IPS screens at 2,000:1.

Anything from 1,000:1 up to 1,300:1 is more typical for IPS.
In practice, however, it’s hard to see the difference in subjective terms.
you could also choose from DCI-P3 and a range of other gamut presets or go with a user-defined solution.

Strictly speaking, this isn’t a professional grade content creation monitor.
But it is Pantone Validated and well enough set up for mainstream image and video editing workflows.
The HDR 400 certification means there’s no local dimming and indeed limited actual HDR support.

But it does ensure 400 nits peak brightness and a very punchy over experience.
This is a vibrant, pleasant display to use day-to-day.
The exception to that is the mediocre pixel density.

For context, a 32-inch 4K monitor comes in at about 140DPI, a 27-inch 4K screen at 165DPI.
Another highlight is the 5MP AI-powered webcam.
It’s certainly a cut above the norm for integrated webcams.

It offers sharp, clear image quality and good colours.
The AI face tracking also works reasonably well, even if it’s a little laggy.
Less impressive are the integrated speakers.

In return you get fantastic connectivity and productivity features.
The one really obvious shortcoming is the 3,440 by 1,440 resolution and resulting low pixel density.
That’s very much the most common resolution for a 34-inch ultrawide panel.

Normally, 5K2K wouldn’t be in the mix, it’s a fairly rare and premium option.
For high-resolution displays, we’ve rounded up all thebest 5K and 8K monitors.
