Garbage

By William
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2021-06-25

After only a few months of use I started getting an issue where the entire right half of the screen shows these weird vertical lines that look almost like zebras, only they are not zebras. I went through every menu setting, tried recalibrating a bunch of times and even changed output ports on my Mac Pro, and the image persisted. The monitor is now unusable after less than half a year. Maybe I got a lemon, but do you want to risk it for the price?

Very helpful sales team in fast processing and shipping of my order. Packaged well and set up was easy. Picture color is amazing even at close up and angle viewing. Make sure your graphics card can fully optimize the potential of this monitor. Very happy with B & H sales and service

Incredible!!!

I do a lot of fine art printing and needed a monitor that was capable of displaying 100% Adobe RGB. The monitor hardware self-calibrates to a variety of color spaces, and allows the luminance to be adjusted separately while maintaining the calibration. HP's elite workstation group handles the support for this monitor and they are a notch above! Add the white glove 3-year overnight swap out warranty for DreamColor monitors and I couldn't have asked for more!!

I wanted to love this display, I was so excited by the quality and features. The color accuracy was great, and it was a joy to work on for about a week and a half. All the USB ports on the display stopped working suddenly and HP's service is pretty horrendous. What was an amazing buy from one of my favorite retailers in NYC, has turned into an absolute nightmare, I would recommend you go with any display other than HP.

Thank you B&H for changing my mind with difficult to pass deal. I am using two of these monitors now with my 2019 MacBook Pro 16 inch with AMD Radeon 5500M 8gb graphics and Caldigit TS3 Plus Dock Station. The picture quality, built in calibration and bunch of original cable options with Full 4K (4096x2160) is absolutely amazing. Thank you HP and Thank you B&H. Really high quality material and really impressed with the resolution. I am glad to pass any LG dual monitor or single ultra wide option.

A great display

question

Does this HP-Z31x Display comes pre-calibrated or we still need to buy a separate calibrator to calibrate this display for printing and video editing work?
Asked by: Junaid
I am trying to resolve dual monitor setup issue at the moment. I have 2019 MacBook Pro 16 inch with AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8gb graphics, 2 HP Z31x monitors and Caldigit TS3 Plus dock station. I can run separate connections directly to my MacBook, but my Caldigit display port/ display port and Caldigit thunderbolt to USB-C or HDMI or Display port does not work. I tried multiple cable configuration but not luck. Please help. All came down to Caldigit Dock. Talked to Apple Tech Support too. I can get 3840 on both or one with 4096 and other 3840 but not both 4096 with single cable to caldigit and to both displays configuration.
