ASUS MG24UQ vs HP Pavilion 32

You can easily adjust the height of the monitor, and you can also rotate it and switch between landscape and portrait mode.

The MG24UQ features an anti-glare panel, which significantly reduces or eliminates reflections, loss of clarity due to light, fingerprints and smudges.

ASUS has handled the on-screen display (OSD) of the MG24UQ very well in a clear and easy to navigate interface. You can choose from a different number of presets on the fly, and all attributes such as brightness, contrast and refresh rate are adjustable. The blue light filter can also be adjusted in intensity. You can also create your own presets for easy switching between settings.

The viewing angles of the MG24UQ are excellent; no color shifting (distortion of colors) occurs when looking at the display from a horizontal or vertical angle.

The design of the MG24UQ is quite sturdy and the base of the monitor contains seven large rubber pads to prevent accidental sliding of the display. The panel itself slides into the base via a metal insert, but VESA wall-mounting options are available as well. In terms of design, the base provides an easy way to route cables out of sight and all connections are clearly labeled.

Thanks to the IPS panel ASUS has used in its MG24UQ, color reproduction is excellent. This monitor can display the full 100% sRGB color range -good for graphical editing. Without calibration, the MG24UQ is able to reach 78% of the AdobeRGB coverage. For comparison: an average monitor reaches about 76% of the AdobeRGB color spectrum. After calibration however, over 79% of the spectrum can be achieved and the average color accuracy delta E can also be reduced significantly from a little over 2 to 1.06 which results in an even better color reproduction. Anything less than 1 deltaE is imperceptible to the human eye. As a result, color accuracy is near perfect in practice.

sRGB is the color spectrum that is most commonly used on cameras and prints, and is also used for most images on the web. AdobeRGB however offers a wider color spectrum and as a result, more vibrant and lifelike colors.

The MG24UQ uses a 4K-display with a resolution of 2160 x 3840 pixels, which is four times the amount of pixels of a Full HD display. This results in an extremely sharp image. The fact that the MG24UQ is relatively small further increases pixel density and thus sharpness. In terms of pixels per inch (ppi), the MG24UQ measures at 183 ppi. For comparison: a Full HD monitor of the same size would only reach half of that - 91 pixels per inch.

The HP Pavilion 32 is a great tool for media artists, such as photo editors and web designers that work in the sRGB color space because the monitor can display the full range of sRGB colors accurately.

The HP Pavilion 32 is an excellent option for multitaskers because its large, 32-inch 2560x1440 panel offers a lot of display real estate. The monitor's so big that you can, for example, split it into four equal parts, so that each of those would represent a separate 16-inch HD monitor.

The HP Pavilion 32 can be used as a USB 2.0 hub because it has two USB downstream ports and a single upstream USB port. Using those ports, you can connect your computer to some stationary USB peripherals.

Additionally, you can use downstream USB ports for fast charging.

Regarding its picture quality, the HP Pavilion 32 outperforms the overwhelming majority of monitors in its price range as it offers high native contrast ratio, decent peak brightness, and excellent color accuracy.

The monitor displays highly satisfying scenes, with blacks that are truly rich and deep, and colors that pop and look accurate. The monitor's dark scene performance is excellent as it's native contrast ratio of 3000:1 pushes its blacks to some highly intense levels. Colors appear vivid because the monitor's backlight can get up to 300 nits bright.

Moreover, the overall picture looks lifelike because the monitor doesn't have any noticeable problems with color accuracy.

In its price range, only a handful of other monitors can compete with the versatility of the HP Pavilion 32 because the monitor offers exceptional picture quality, excellent color accuracy, and great connectivity combined with a very generous amount of on-screen real estate.
