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. The next step after looking at products in the same category, was to look at products from the same brand, HP. Sounds more like a badge and a firmware tweak slapped on to a traditional SDR panel that already had decent P3-D65 coverage. That's pretty shameful. The Standard mode’s P3 accuracy is particularly good news since you can squeeze a little extra contrast out of the U28 there.

Out of the box, the U28 is set to its Photography / P3 mode, which sets the monitor at 45% brightness. That proved bright enough for getting work done from various angles. My monitor sits perpendicular from a large window, and I had no issue seeing properly with the monitor using less than half of its brightness capability. Even when I sat sideways from the monitor, I could see the image. It just looked darker, and I could see a reflection on darker scenes at the closer third of the monitor. The top view experience was similar.As you can imagine, pricing is one of the most important factors of any purchasing decision. We can find the perfect product for our needs, that fits the brief in every single way. But if it doesn’t fit our budgets, we simply can’t (or at least shouldn’t) buy it.

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 Performance CONNECTIVITY – With DisplayPort and Dual HDMI you’ll get all the ports you need to easily connect your device for big-screen entertainment 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.
