What works. What doesn't.
Connection and power
PCMag ran it from the laptop over a single USB-C cable for its tests. A power adapter in the second USB-C port also charges the laptop, up to 65W.
Panel
PCMag measured 409 nits and a 1,687:1 contrast ratio, with full sRGB and Adobe RGB coverage and 99.1% of DCI-P3. It has no touchscreen.
Mounting and portability
A fold-out aluminum kickstand holds it in landscape or portrait. PCMag notes the magnetic cover is not a full sleeve for travel.
Drivers and software
Video runs over DisplayPort Alt Mode. PCMag says the free HP Display Center utility adds settings beyond the on-screen menu.
