Review on πŸ–₯️ HP U28 4K HDR Monitor with Calibration, Blue Light Filter, Anti-Glare Coating, Swivel Adjustment, and 3840X2160P Resolution by Marvin Dhinbil

Great monitor at this price with one caveat

I was looking for a cheap 4K monitor with USB-C power delivery for my 2021 MacBook pro m1 pro and this HP monitor fitted the bill, especially when it went on sale ahead of the holidays. What bothered me the most were all the reviews that the monitor doesn't wake up when using USB-C as a connector, and that's true. The workaround I use is that in the power settings when the MacBook is connected to the network I set it to never go to sleep and that seems to solve the problem. I usually turn off my MacBook at the end of each day, so it's not a problem for me, but if it bothers you, avoid it. I'm not sure if this is an HP or Macbook issue, but any other monitor I would consider would cost hundreds of dollars more, so I'm happy with this workaround.

Pros
  • anti-reflective coating
Cons
  • Bad contrast
