About this deal

When it comes to the P3 color space, the U28 covers 79.7% in its designated P3 Color Mode and 79.8% in Standard mode. 80% would be good, so isn’t bad performance. However, it’s disappointing to see the cheaper AOC offer a little more color at 85.5% coverage. In all three modes, gamma is in the 1.9 range instead of the ideal 2.2. In the P3 and Standard modes the errors are particularly extreme at 10% and 70-95% brightness. Typically, we’d say you’re not likely to use your monitor at 10% brightness often, but the U28 gets pretty bright, and if you want to use it in a dark room you may be dropping brightness significantly. At that point, details in shadows, like the arches in a stone wall in Mission: Impossible, became harder to see, but it wasn’t a massive issue.

HP gaming monitor review. Updated 2023 pricing, screen size and resolution details Reviewed and rated using scores for brightness, screen quality, color balance and value for money. Is this HP monitor right for a PC gamer? Boasting factory color calibration and accuracy worthy of video and photo editing and the like, the U28 just manages to deliver on its color accuracy claims. Its Photography P3 mode crosses the 3dE visibility mark by a hair, but we’ll give it to them. And with a 2.7 dE sRGB color error score, it’s fit for sRGB work as well. The HP boasts of the U28 being factor color-calibrated, allowing for hobbyists to enter pro-level territory when editing things like photos and videos. When measuring the P3 and Standard presets against the P3 triangle and sRGB against sRGB, errors were virtually impossible to see. The P3 mode shows a 3dE color error, and 3dE is the visible threshold. Its color chart shows slight oversaturation of red at the 20-80% saturation steps. Blue also has some oversaturation while just missing the outer blue point by a smidge. But these are very small errors that you’re unlikely to see this with the naked eye. This is pro-level accuracy across two different color spaces, showing stellar performance. Next up is material. Read through the product description for HP V28 28 Inch 60Hz 4K Monitor to get an understanding of the materials the product is made from. Some materials will obviously be known for delivering better quality item than others. You might also have decided that you’ll only accept a product made from a particular material. If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands. That way when you come to the point where you’re comparing product options you can filter to only show the products from brands in your list.

Just before we get into the detail of analysing the price of this product, we want to briefly highlight the importance of setting yourself a budget before you spend too much time shopping around for a suitable product. It’s all too often that we get carried away when shopping and find ourselves buying a fantastic product, but probably actually overdelivers on what we need and therefore costs a lot more than we should have spent. So spend a bit of time looking around at the sort of price you can expect to pay for products in the PC monitors category and use that alongside your own financial situation to set yourself a budget. The next step for us was to look at all of the products that fall within the PC monitors category, of which we found 65 products at Argos. So we pulled together all of the prices of these products to analyse the average prices as well as finding the cheapest and most expensive options. The next step was to try and narrow down our search even more. So we’ve already looked the prices of products in the PC monitors category. Then we’ve also looked at the prices of products from HP. So this step combines the two and looks specifically at the price you’d expect to pay for HP branded products in the PC monitors category.

Price is another really important factor for analysing the quality of HP V28 28 Inch 60Hz 4K Monitor vs other products in the PC monitors category. It’s obvious, but you will need to set your expectations of quality based on your budget and the price of the product you’re looking at, against the price of alternatives.LOW BLUE LIGHT – Using Low Blue Light Mode makes colors warmer and whites more natural for increased eye comfort The first is brand. Looking at the brand of the product is often a really good indicator for judging product quality. For example you’d expect a much higher quality product from a brand known for providing excellent quality than you would from an unknown or even a budget brand.

INCREDIBLE RESPONSE TIME – With 1-millisecond response times, motion blur is eliminated in exchange for crisp, fluid gameplay no matter what’s happening on screen Power menu has a Power Mode, where you can activate a Power Saver mode that disables some features,like USB-C video, USB power delivery and the wake from sleep via PC function. There’s also an Auto-sleep Mode, but you can’t control the timing; it’s either on or off. So let’s carry on with our HP V28 28 Inch 60Hz 4K Monitor review and explore the product’s pricing. For web surfing and the like, the U28 chooses accuracy above oversaturation. All of the other monitors here oversaturate sRGB, but the U28’s sRGB mode covers nearly all the space without overdoing it, making it great for color-critical work or play. HDR PerformanceInclude keywords along with product name. Examples: "DeskJet 3630 paper jam", "EliteBook 840 G3 bios update" The brand of product you buy can vary in importance, from person to person. Some people will of course be much more particular about the brands they will use. Whilst others aren’t interested in the brand and are more interested in the overall quality or price of the product itself. Thankfully HP is a brand that many customers have grown to love over the years and is very popular for items in the PC monitors category.
