HP has introduced the Series 3 Pro 334wp G2 to its monitor lineup, a 34-inch curved ultrawide model designed for office work. It features a VA panel with a 1500R curve, a WQHD (3440 x 1440) resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, 3,500:1 contrast, and 300 nits of brightness. Using overdrive, the response time could reach 5 ms GtG.
The monitor also works as a USB-C docking display. A single cable can carry video, data, and up to 90 W of power to a laptop. Connectivity includes three USB-A 5 Gbps ports, one USB-C 5 Gbps port with DisplayPort 1.2 Alt Mode, a USB-B upstream, one DisplayPort 1.2, one HDMI 2.0, and an audio jack. HP also added two 5 W speakers for those who need them.
There is no webcam or HDR support, and the color gamut is modest at 85% NTSC coverage. That makes image or video retouching and editing possible but not recommended. The monitor is better suited to documents and spreadsheets.
The HP Series 3 Pro 334wp G2 is priced at $329 in the U.S. and comes with a three-year warranty. For comparison, the Lenovo ThinkVision T34WD-4v, another 34-inch ultrawide docking monitor that recently launched, costs more at €599. That model adds a built-in camera, wider color coverage, an ambient light sensor, and Gigabit Ethernet, among other features.
