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.

However, the colors look vibrant and vivid as the monitor's peak brightness hits 250 nits.

Moreover, the ASUS VZ27AQ displays vibrant colors because of its full sRGB coverage.
