Customer Reviews for HP - 34" VA LCD Curved 100Hz Monitor (USB, HDMI) - Black

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 34" monitor is a great deal for the price. Pairs nicely with a UHD notebook since it has fewer pixels to manage than the notebook screen. And no problem with the VPN in to work to a computer with an ancient graphics card that I'm amazed even knows what a wide screen is.
The good bits:
- Great color.
- Inexpensive.
- Base is more stable than it looks like it should be. Get more wobble from my notebook screen, which supposedly has none.
- Just the right size to replace two monitors.
- No noticeable lag or blurring in graphics intensive tasks like videos and games.
- Well packaged. (Which is good given the condition the box arrived in.)
- Comes with all the necessary cables.

The caveats:
- Sound is a muddy, or at least muted, through the built in speakers. Pass through sounds just fine.
- Too much light directly behind you can totally wipe the entire screen. Has a sweet spot, a tiny one, that is glare free if you are really good at not moving your head. In good news, light not directly behind you can be pretty bright with no problem.
- Plugs on the back hard to see, hard to reach, even with the monitor face down, and hard to get the insertion angle right. Though if you use a USB hub, you should only need to get at the plugs once.
- Power cable is not tight enough and can slip out while shifting the monitor just enough to lose the connection. Could be a problem if you have the monitor on an arm.
- Settings buttons and power button in to tight a grouping on the back where you are working by touch. Too easy to hit the power button when wanting to hit the button to exit out of the menus. Though that does get you out of the menus.

Not the brightest monitor out there, but was bought mostly as a work monitor, for which it works just fine. Visually, looks like brightness was sacrificed for whites that look more like a natural page white and less like a light source.

Great monitor and USB-C hub once you figure out how to turn it on.

Great system bringing together a laptop USB-C hub and a crystal clear screen. Simple to use and helps streamline the look of a desk by removing a separate USB-C hub. Comes will all display cord options (HDMI, USB-C, Display Port) so no need to buy separately.
Out of the box there was one issue. There is a marked power toggle switch on the back plus a power push button on the side. Turning on just the toggle switch doesn't turn on the monitor. Called support and they didn't know there were two switches either. Spent a lot of time troubleshooting what could have been a simple added instruction step on the start-up instructions.
I would recommend this to a friend!
