Adam Simmons gets into the nitty gritty of display finishes beyond just glossy and matte in this article.Īlthough HP couldn’t tell me when I called for details, Simmons says that matte finishes often have a haze value of 24-28%. After spending some time researching I discovered that Advanced Haze seems to be a hybrid between a matte and glossy finish. Something that sets this screen apart from the competition (for better or worse) is HP’s decision to use an ‘Advanced Haze’ finish on this display. The bezel is almost exactly the same as the new MacBook Pro’s sides and the screen can tilt from -5 to +25°. This IPS display offers 5ms response time and a micro-edge bezel on three sides that provides a clean, minimal feel. HP’s ENVY 27 features a 3840 x 2160 resolution at 60 Hz. There don’t seem to be any other retailers carrying this unit for now. With HP seemingly having trouble producing enough of these displays, you may have to keep an eye on both HP’s website and Amazon if you’re looking to pick one up. Last weekend I happened to look at Amazon again and the price had dropped to $500, I immediately placed my order and received my display two days later.
All HP support could tell me was their inventory system wasn’t working properly. The next morning I received an email saying the order was cancelled.įast forward three days and that repeated two more times. I quickly ordered and got a confirmation for a successful purchase. Then about two weeks ago I saw HP had one in stock on their site (literally one). Strange enough, the display showed up on Best Buy’s site for $450, but with no stock (and has disappeared completely now). I checked HP’s website daily as it was $625 on Amazon. After launching in early December, HP quickly sold out of stock. Keep reading after the break to hear about my first week with this new display.Īt first I thought the hard part was deciding what display to go with, but trying to get my hands on an ENVY 27 turned out to be more challenging. There are a few compromises that come along with the $500 ENVY 4K display compared with options like Lenovo’s ThinkVision X1 or LG’s 27UD88-W, but I decided to try HP’s ENVY 27 with price, design, and specs hitting a good portion of my wish list. Jordan covered the best choices back in November and now all of these displays are available (with varying degrees of stock).
