HP M32f Ultraslim Monitor 31.5 Inch, Full HD 1080p, 7ms Response Time, 2x HDMI, 1x VGA, Anti Glare, Blue Light Filter, Flicker Free, HP Eye Ease with Eye Safe Certification, Silver and Black

The monitor was well delivered. It fits my requirements and works perfectly with my MacBook Air M2, 2022 year model.

the screen keeps on showing black shadows when wake up, I have to switch off and on again to get the normal screen without the black shadow

I do designing work for panelized wood walls which requires at least 2 monitors. This thing just works: no gimmicks, no gaudy design, it simply does exactly what a good monitor should do with high enough fidelity to make my job easy.

This is a review of the HP U32 model (32 Inch, 4K / UHD, USB-C). I was looking for a new monitor to use with my MacBook for software development, music production and general productivity / WFH tasks, and ended up settling on the HP U32 model after first trying and comparing two other models - the Dell U2723QE and the Lenovo L32p-30. My initial requirements were: - 4K resolution - USB-C with power delivery for a ‘single-cable’ MacBook solution - 27-32" screen size - USB 3.x ports / docking station - £500 or less. I didn't need the monitor for gaming or tasks such as photo / video editing, so specifications such as refresh rate, responsiveness and colour accuracy aren't being considered here. I decide to return the two other models and keep the HP U32 for the following reasons (many of which may not be advertised or widely considered): - The Dell U2723QE, being only 27", didn't provide enough screen estate for me compared to this 32" screen. There is a 32" version (U3223QE), but it currently costs over twice the price of the U32. Though most people consider 27" as the sweet-spot for a 4K monitor due to the PPI value, so in that regard the U2723QE may be better suited for you, but my use cases the PPI value is fine, even when comparing it to the Retina screen of my MacBook. - The Dell U2723QE had worse glare / reflection handling, which was a problem for me as I sit with a window behind me. After more research I discovered that Dell monitors are known for this. But again, probably not an issue for everyone. - The Dell U2723QE stand cable management solution didn't look as neat - there's a hole / channel in the stand for feeding your cables through, however if you have the stand height set to around 50% or higher then the cables are still visible. The clip on the U32 stand can be hidden and provides adequate cable management. - The Dell U2723QE power button is on the back (and therefore harder to find) compared to being on the front or bottom. - The Lenovo L32p-30 only has a peak brightness value of 350 nits (compared to 400 nits for the other models) - after using monitors with 400 nits the 50 nits difference was enough to be a problem in a well-lit room. - The Lenovo L32p-30 stand is very basic with only minor tilt adjust (compared to the others that have height, pivot and height adjustment too). - The Lenovo L32p-30, when in standard mode, only provides 60W (5W less than the U32) via USB-C power delivery. It can be increased to 70W (apparently 75W, but I couldn't figure out how to increase it), but in this mode the brightness control is disabled (and the screen is therefore very dim) and the USB data is disabled too. Though I've since learnt that my MacBook will very rarely (if ever) require more power than 60W, unless I require fast charging which I do not. - The Lenovo L32p-30's physical design seems pretty outdated and chunky, especially the base. It also felt cheaper (though I did get it for £80 cheaper than the U32). The U32 design is my favourite of the three and a lot more modern. - The Lenovo L32p-30 OSD is controlled via buttons (instead of a joystick like on the other models), which was annoying to use. Also the power LED was the brightest of the three models and could be quite distracting. Though the U32 isn't perfect, and did fall short compared to the other models in some regards: - I've been seeing some very occasional subtle colour flickering, but it appears to be related to specific things I'm doing on macOS (so maybe a macOS or macOS compatibility issue). Not enough of an issue for me to consider doing anything about it though. - On macOS when connected via USB-C the monitor is recognised as a ‘Television’ by macOS, which means that macOS is sending the colours to the monitor as YCbCr or YPbPr instead of RGB. Personally this doesn’t appear to be an issue for me, and is common amongst other monitors, but may be an issue if colour accuracy is important for you. - It uses an external power brick (instead of internal supply and an IEC cable). This means if the cable fails you need to buy a whole new, possibly non-standard, power supply. Also depending on your setup it may be hard to hide away. - The bottom bezel was the thickest of all three models, with a fairly prominent logo is certain lighting. - Only 3 USB ports, compared to 4 or 5 on the other monitors. But overall I'm very happy with this monitor after having it for over a month (so happy that my partner has since purchased one herself), and I really believe that if you're looking for a 32" 4K USB-C monitor, especially with a decent peak brightness value, then nothing comes close to the HP U32 without spending at least double the price.

Product arrived on time and had all the parts - though I thought one was missing because it's in a different package within the package. Assembled easily and helpful on the eyes. Recommend.

Adquirí la pantalla por 179 euyros y lo recomedaría a mis amigos. Es una pantalla grande, perfecta para trabjar y tener más de un documento abierto. VIENE CON CABLE HDMI!! Algo que no sabía, y me había comprado otro. La resolución es buena, pero no es comparable al OLED. Tengo un portátil OLEd y se nota algo de diferencia de calidad, aunque sigo satisfecho con la pantalla. Para mi 9/10

Cannot explain why I did not upgrade to a decent monitor years ago. I just love the clarity of this top class monitor. I am not a gamer, just use monitor for office stuff. and browsing internet. Happy to recommend.
