Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice...also makes it better for streaming shows and movies.

Got it at such a great price & it works great. Great quality

Great monitor, amazing quality. Highly recommended.

It’s a nice screen to edit pictures or watch movies but was not very good for gaming

The HP 31.5" VA LED FHD 100Hz Monitor is a solid choice for those seeking a large, high-refresh-rate display without breaking the bank. The 100Hz refresh rate provides smooth motion and reduces motion blur, making it ideal for watching fast-paced videos. The low blue light feature is great for reducing eye strain during long periods of use. It's also compatible with Chromebooks, which is convenient if you use one as your primary device. The Full HD resolution ensures crisp and clear images, while the VA panel delivers good color reproduction and wide viewing angles. The monitor also features HDMI and VGA inputs, offering flexibility in connectivity. However, the absence of DisplayPort or USB-C ports may limit its compatibility with newer devices. The monitor's design is sleek and modern, with slim bezels that make it suitable for multi-monitor setups. The stand is sturdy and allows for tilt adjustment, but lacks height adjustment or swivel capabilities. Overall, the HP 31.5" VA LED FHD 100Hz Monitor offers excellent value for its size and refresh rate, making it a great choice for multimedia enthusiasts. I would recommend this HP monitor if you are in the market for a new one.

Crystal clear screen. Set up was a breeze and worked immediately upon plugging in.

it would not work with Ubuntu 24.04 so I had ti return it

A++++ Great Product for the money!! We couldn’t be more happy with it!

Exactly what was advertised. HP always has good good quality monitors.

good product, looks new when bought an open box product

Great monitor, crisp graphics, and super easy setup.

Wish that the monitor had a built in speaker system but it is good otherwise.

Works well. I would order it again. MAC Hook up can be a little challenging changing the font size.

Too big for regular desk size. A bit blurry in close-up

The HP Series 5 532sf monitor (Product number 94F50AA) has exceeded my expectations, and due to the price point for its size, I can give it 5 stars, albeit with a couple of reservations (see "cons" below). Pros: - Awesome 31.5" screen size - VA picture quality is great, clear and crisp, and colors look darn accurate to me. - I was unsure about a VA type monitor (instead of IPS), but I now have no misgivings due to the display quality. - Wonderful contrast ration of 3000:1. Blacks look fantastic and deep on this VA display. Much better than IPS. - I am not a gamer, but the 7 ms response time is fine for my purposes. - Fantastically bright picture (~300 nits). I actually had to decrease the brightness setting - even in a bright sunlit room. - Speaking of settings - they are easy to make - even without a user's manual (see "Con" below). - HP recommends to download their "Display Center App" in the Microsoft Store. I don't like cluttering up my PC with superfluous apps and programs, but I actually like this simple app. - The app allows you to make adjustments to the display in a very intuitive fashion without using the typical menu buttons on the bottom of the display. - The app also worked for some of the functions on my older monitor I now use as a second display and that is nice. - Excellent and smooth physical adjustability for tilting and (no raising/lowering or side to side rotation however) - Slim, lightweight design which physically looks nice - Decent cable management (but not awesome compared to another monitor I own) on the back side - Very nice and sturdy packaging - 2 HDMI ports and one included HDMI cable. One VGA port - Toolless installation Cons: - Power connection has a "brick" transformer which is very annoying. All my recent non-HP monitors are powered by one cable without a brick. Why can't HP do the same in order to reduce under the desk clutter? - No display port connection. For this price, perhaps that is to be expected, but it would have been nice if there was one. - No USB hub connectivity. "Would have been nice" as above. - No speakers. I would never listen to monitor speakers for anything important, but "would have been nice" as above. - No VESA mounting - As of this writing, there is no full PDF users guide that can be downloaded from the HP web site. The quick setup guide / pamphlet is included in the box and can be downloaded. - 1920 x 1080 resolution is acceptable but would love to see something higher on a 32" display. But again, perhaps acceptable, given the size/price of this monitor. So overall, I am pleased with this monitor. It looks good in my home office. The smoothness of the adjustments is fantastic and the picture quality is quite nice and it has excellent brightness. I do hate that power brick, and would hope for just a tad more resolution, but at this price I don't think you can't go wrong with this big monitor with a nice picture and deep blacks.

The monitor is wobbly, has poor optics and is too big for my desk. I should have purchased a small size monitor with better clarity.

Over the years we’ve been heavy users of HP PC’s, monitors, printers, & laptops for both home & business. Overall, we’ve enjoyed good value from HP & a consistent record of performance, dependability, & durability across our many HP devices. Although I’ve enjoyed my older HP 27f IPS LED Widescreen, it’s now almost 6 years old. So, I was ready for a newer HP monitor & was excited to evaluate this new ‘Series 5’ monitor. After just a few days’ usage, I can say that I’ve already noticed less eye fatigue while enjoying a little more vivid display. To begin with, I didn’t think that an extra 4.5” in diagonal screen size would be that noticeable. But the difference was immediately apparent when I played one of my all-time video favs shot in HD way back in 2009-2010—the classic Wingsuit BASE Jumping—The Need 4 Speed: The Art of Flight w/immortal martial artist Bruce Lee narrating the intro & a perfectly matched musical accompaniment by Hybrid w/their classic “Disappear Here”. Moving up from a 27” LED to a 1/6 larger screen at 31.5” in Full HD (while admittedly not FHD+) along with moving up from a 1k-to-1 contrast ratio to an arguable 3k-to-1 contrast ratio & a 100Hz refresh rate vs. the previous 60Hz—all made a difference. Oh, and no more shuddering when I’m scrolling. As a bit of a minimalist, I do like the look of this sleek, clean black rectangle now sitting atop my height-adjustable electric standing desk. The design profile of this monitor is simple, thin & light & aesthetically pleasing from every angle. On the back side are 2 HDMI 1.4 ports & a 15-pin VGA connector. As many hours as I spend in front of my monitors working on projects, I’m grateful for HP’s anti-glare & Eye Ease feature w/Eyesafe certification to help limit the amount of blue light I’m exposed to. Although I try not to work on my computer for at least 1 full hour before bedtime, I can’t say that I’ve noticed any improved sleep with this display, but I have noticed a little less eyestrain at night. Overall, this is a pretty standard monitor which is suitable for home use or small business owners like us. It looks good, but the specs aren’t noteworthy, much less exceptional. It gets the job done but it’s not a performance monitor, & I wouldn’t use it for gaming or digital video editing. It’s functional, but not special.

I have two similar HP monitors that cannot be installed into a dual monitor stand. Lesson learned and I need to pay attention to the monitor's modification capabilities.

Super thin, minimal, but not great screen quality, especially now that 4k is pretty common at this price

After using this monitor for about a week, I have to say that there's not really much I don't like about this monitor. Like, it could be better if the stand allowed for the monitor to swivel and rotate, but even that feels a bit nitpicky since the panel is the size of a small TV. The screen size is really nice for my primary monitor. Text is large without adjusting the scaling, and I can read small text in games without straining my eyes. It's also nice for programming and word processing.The framerate is decent (the monitor goes up to 100Hz), the color is good as well. I also like how it's able to be controlled by the HP Display Manager program over the HDMI cable - I can switch the display to Night Mode or change the brightness with a click rather than fiddling with the buttons on the monitor. Speaking of which, I am glad that the buttons are separate rather than combined into some weird button plus D-pad thing. One of the other things that I really like about this monitor is that it's very versatile. It's a "standard" resolution of 1920 by 1080 rather than 1920 by 1200, which is good for compatibility with some older games. It also comes with a VGA port and two HDMI ports, which is incredibly nice since I tend to have multiple computer systems to keep tabs on but lack the space for a bunch of monitors everywhere. Aesthetically, the monitor is nice as well. I like the power light being white rather than an annoyingly bright blue, and the sleep light being orange rather than blinking is also nice. I'm actually really fond of the stand - the way that it's a sort of ring looks nice, and I've been using it to do things like keep batteries from rolling away. The fact that it's got a cable channel on the back to pull all the cables together in one spot is also nice, since it avoids the problem of wire spaghetti. I'm also a fan of the thin bottom bezel not wrapping around the whole monitor. Overall, it's a really good monitor, and I rather like it. It's versatile and nice to look at, and I really appreciate the night mode. I'd definitely recommend it, as long as you have the desk space.
