It easily handles everyday computing and runs creative applications smoothly, showcasing impressive versatility.
However, that flexibility doesnt extend to gaming, as its supposedly powerful GPU fails to deliver strong performance.
Adding to the drawbacks, the bundled keyboard and mouse feel underwhelming.

Its setup is refreshingly straightforward, while the design is both thoughtful and practical.
The overall aesthetic and functionality make it a perfect fit for offices, libraries, and creative studios alike.
One disappointing aspect of the design is the included keyboard and mouse combo.
Priced at $1,660, the OmniStudio X 31.5 offers impressive value.
That doesnt mean this all-in-one isnt without some problems.
Even though the desktop has an Nvidia RTX 4050, its not enough for serious gaming experiences.

Even more flexibility is offered on the 31.5-inch UHD model.
Our review model with the specs mentioned above comes out at the price of $1,660.
Starting with the relatively easy installation process.

The all-in-one isnt just sleek looks but also offers serious functionality through port placement alone.
The right side of the neck features a singular USB-C and two USB-A slots.
On the right side of that same panel is a power button and clickable thumbstick for in-display menu options.
Posability is respectable with tilt and height adjustment as well.
As mentioned previously, the sore spot of the design is the included mouse and keyboard.
After long-typing sessions, I definitely noticed a bit of hand cramping.
The keyboard works well enough but holding that back is the lack of a level raiser.
Its unfortunate because the 4K display truly stands out, especially for work tasks and streaming ultra-high-definition content.
Its a display that thoroughly caters to both productivity and creative precision.
The dual 5W speakers featuring DTS:X Ultra provide some nice audio too.
Performance:4/5
Should I buy the HP OmniStudio X 31.5 ?

Our review model felt like a respectable bang for your buck option.
There are several configurations to choose from, including an option under $1,000.
That doesnt even count the phenomenal audio/visuals from the 4K IPS screen and speakers.
That keyboard and mouse aint it though.
4.5 / 5
Performance
For general tool and creative usage, the all-in-one is an outstanding performer.
There are also plenty of ports behind the display and on the side as well.
Using the pop-up webcam feels good as well.
Creative app capability was split between Adobe Suite software including Premiere Pro alongside Photoshop.
Zoom conferencing software was also utilized to test the webcam and microphone combo.
Meanwhile, to further test the speakers, I played various music on Tidal.
Finally, we played various AAA games to test performance.
