HP Unveils The Envy 32 Media Display With Freesync

News
By published

In addition to some new HP Envy AIOs, HP also unveiled a new 32-inch QHD display.

The 2560 x 1440 display supports 100 percent of the sRGB color spectrum, allowing it to accurately display a wide array of bright and vibrant colors. This is an especially important feature for those involved in video and photo editing.

The display features a number of connectivity options, including HDMI, DisplayPort and MHL, thus enabling MHL-compatible smartphones and tablets to also take advantage of this display.

Two 6-watt speakers are mounted in the display facing forward. HP claimed these speakers are tuned by Bang & Olufsen in order to achieve an exceptional audio experience.

The display is expected to cost $499.99. It will be available from select retailers starting October 18, and will be more widely available starting November 24.

    this is one fancy looking monitor. I would love to know the maximum refresh rate and if a gsync version will be coming.

    i really wish more gsync monitors would start adding more ports like HDMI, DVI, etc.. Even if gsync wont work on those added ports, i would still love the option so i can use other devices on that expensive screen.

    Those are some very fat side bezels. I guess no one is going to use these in a multiple monitor setup.

    You mean the speakers. QHD is plenty for people like me. Just need to determine if those B&O speakers live up to the standard.

    Yeah, I'd be pretty excited about this if it didn't have the side speakers as I already have a 7.1 system. Also without any mention of a refresh rate, I have to assume it's just 60hz. I'm actively looking to buy a 29 to 34 inch qhd, ips monitor with 144hz (don't care about freesync or gsync because I don't want to be locked in).

    You might not care, but freesync doesn't add the premium so don't skip over a display that implements it. It doesn't lock you into anything. Lots of new models are implementing it, soon it'll be a box for every model to check (except for s-sync models).
