    Great monitor. I used to run the Samsung Curved Monitos and I’ve switched to these and absolutely LOVE them. I run two of them side by side, as I work in oilfield construction project management and am very happy with the quality and the how neat and simple they look. Looks very nice in my office.

    This was an excellent purchase to add a third monitor to my workspace. In 2920 I bought the HP - 31.5" IPS LED FHD Monitor (HDMI, VGA) - Black. The design is slightly different and the older model has a crispier color. In IMO I like the 2020 version better. I will be buying another HP monitor. I highly recommend this monitor.

    Nice monitor that can be a little blurry

    Assembly was very easy and took about 5 minutes; including unpacking the box. It does include an HDMI cable. Minimal connections on the back of the monitor. There is a cable holder inside the monitor stand which makes it easy to keep the cables organized. The power cord is a little short so I had to adjust its position on my desk. The size is very nice. And it also has a tilt feature. Unfortunately, the monitor cannot be raised or lowered, just tilted. Maximum resolution is 1920 x 1080 @ 100 Hz. Low blue light technology helps minimize the blue light and is easier on your eyes. The anti-glare is appreciated. I normally wear computer glasses but this monitor really helps reduce eye fatigue. I will still wear my glasses since they work very well. The 100Hz refresh rate is very good. If you are a serious gamer, you will need a much higher refresh rate. The monitor also has onscreen controls. This monitor is nice but sometimes can be a little blurry. I was experimenting with zooming in and out and maximizing vs. minimizing. It actually seemed blurry when more minimized, but not in all situations. I tested with spreadsheets, photos, surfing the internet and a little gaming. It wasn’t consistently blurry in any situation and about 10% of the time. My husband agreed it was blurry occasionally. This is a decent less expensive monitor. I even hooked it up to my laptop to watch a movie and that worked fine. Colors were vivid. A little different than another HP monitor that doesn’t have the low blue light technology. You wouldn’t notice if you didn’t have them side by side.

    This came with everything I needed to be able to start using immediately: the monitor, quick setup guide, HDMI cable, of course the power cord. The instructions come with clear pictures and in different languages. I was able to set it up within few minutes from removing it from the box. As suggested, I also install the HP Display Center on the laptop. That brought up many more options in using the monitor and partitioning, I did not need to use it so not sure how well they work. This monitor is slim, lightweight and the perfect size to meet my needs. With the HDMI cable connected, it recognized my laptop immediately. There is also a VGA port available that I did not use. I tried using the monintor as the extended and duplicate screens and both worked very well. The pictures are as sharp and clear as my laptop is. This monitor can tilt forward slightly to make it easier to use. There is no delay when I use this monitor as was a slight delay with another one I replaced with this new HP one. It’s also convenient that when I shut off my laptop, the monitor turns off as well and when I sign into my laptop the monitor comes back on and the screen is exactly as I left it the night before. This is a great basic large monitor. I need to get a 2nd monitor and though I like everything about this one, I’m hoping to get one with all the same great benefit but that includes, a USB port, that has adjustable height and possibly a speaker. This one doesn’t offer these additional features. But my laptop speaker works great so it’s not a problem. But the adjustable height, I’m noticing would have been very helpful. So that’s a must for my 2nd screen.

    Big Monitor with great colors for everyday tasks

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The HP Series 5 532sf FHD Monitor is a large monitor that is good for multitasking and enjoying movies. The first impression when I opened the box is the size of the screen; at 31.5 inches, it has ample screen real estate with a sleek design and thin bezel that offer a modern look complementing any workspace. It connects through VGA or through two HDMI ports. It only takes a handful of minutes to put it together; just attach the stand to the back of the monitor and no tools are required. The stand is very basic and only offers tilt adjustments and cannot be adjusted for height and cannot swivel either. The bottom left of the monitor has the power buttons and four additional setting buttons. It can get a bit complicated to maneuver through the settings with those buttons. Thankfully, the HP Display Center app from the Microsoft store makes the process much simpler plus it gives you access to many options to customize it to your liking. Once connected and turned on, it is an easy to use monitor. As expected from a VA panel monitor, the colors are vibrant with great contrast. The Full HD (1920x1080) resolution is good enough for everyday use. Personally, because of the size, I would prefer a higher resolution for sharper visuals. I do video and photo editing as a hobby, and this monitor would not be my favorite because of the resolution limitations. However, it’s a great monitor to watch movies, surf the web and do basic work such as emailing and preparing reports; it has beautiful colors that you can customize with the adjustable contrast, color and black levels. Also, the refresh rate rate can be adjusted up to 100 Hz which is perfect for movies, smoother scrolling and playing light games. Another option I like is the HP Eye Ease that filters out blue light thus reducing eye strain. I’ve used it several times and it really helps. I wish it had integrated speakers especially with a monitor that size; it would have been more convenient than using headphones or external speakers. In my opinion, the HP Series 5 532sf is a well-rounded monitor for everyday tasks, casual entertainment, productivity work and browsing. That large clear display offers a smoother refresh rate, some eye care features, good color accuracy, and a modern design. I would recommend it unless you’re looking for a monitor for professional design work or high-resolution gaming.

    Terrific Big Screen Monitor for Work!

    Having a high quality monitor is very important to those who work on their computer all hours of the day. You want a mix of form and function, and the new HP Series 5 32 inch monitor has been great for those purposes! PROS: - Unboxing I really liked the look of this monitor immediately. It has a smooth look to it, stylish, and very minimalistic which is a big benefit! The setup for this is minimal as you just need to connect it to its base and then of course plug it in. - The bezel-less look of the monitor was a great appeal! It makes the monitor feel more immersive. - I also noticed quickly the smoothness of it as the 100hz refresh rate really does give it an extra pop. - Another piece I think people will like is the low blue light being "eye safe certified" because when you stare at a screen for hours on end, you really need that added eye safety and this HP monitor hits on that! - It comes with plenty of cables as well since it has 2 HDMI hookups as well as a VGA hookup. CONS: - I would have loved some premium features like HDR or 4K on this. BOTTOM LINE: - The new HP Series 5 monitor in 32 inch is an excellent monitor for those who use a monitor all day long for work! It looks great, the screen is very crisp with a great image, but it has built in safety features to make sure your eyes do not hurt. This is a great buy and happy to use it!

    I bought this monitor for my father and he loves it. The only things you have to do is attach the stand which are two pieces. One bar to the back mount and the bottom piece stand, then just plug and play. Very easy installation no tools necessary. My father liked the price, size, and the color.

    I purchased this monitor to replace our smaller 27" monitor. Four inches makes a big difference. I can now read the monitor without having to magnify everything. The monitor is nice, and the images are sharp. No complaints. Keep in mind that I don't play games on my computer so I don't know how well the monitor would work for gamers.

    You can't go wrong for the price! In hopes of getting better graphics, a clearer picture, etc., I wanted to replace my 25" HP monitors but didn't want to spend a fortune. The quality for the price is amazing. I didn't think that I could go bigger & stay within my budget but what a really nice surprise!

    We were looking for a larger monitor that was easier to see. We found this one on sale at Best buy and decided to try it out. We are very happy with its easy, seamless connection to the Mac. It is performing very well for us so far. It is doing just what we needed it to do.

    It works really well! Although this specific monitor doesn't have a mounting feature, you can still tilt it back and forth, using their stand, depending on your preference. The picture quality was great! Good Product for home office!

    Great monitor for the price, the pixel density is very low, so don't expect a super crisp image, but it looks great on the desk and 100hz makes for super smooth office work. Keep in mind the lack of DP connection.
