- The 49-inch HP Series 5 Pro Monitor expands productivity by 5120 x 1440 pixels
- Its VA panel offers deep contrast, although viewing angles remain limited
- Integrated webcam and microphones make this display ideal for video-intensive workflows
HP has introduced a 49-inch ultrawide curved monitor designed for professionals looking for a spacious workspace and sharp images without paying high prices.
The monitor offers a 5K resolution of 5120 x 1440 on its VA panel, offering a wide field of view suitable for multitasking, editing and productivity.
Its curvature is optimized for comfort during long work sessions and the construction includes a sturdy stand with height, tilt and swivel adjustments, making it a good monitor to operate.
Integrated camera and conference functions
This new HP Series 5 Pro conference monitor integrates a 5 megapixel pop-up webcam.
The camera supports Windows Hello facial recognition and includes a physical shutter for added privacy when not in use.
Dual microphones and front-facing speakers make it a self-contained setup for video conferencing and remote work, reducing the need for external accessories.
HP has also integrated presence and ambient light sensors to automatically adjust brightness and power settings.
This business monitor is a cost-effective alternative to high-end 49-inch ultrawide options from Dell or Samsung.
As of this writing, there is no official price for this device, but reports suggest it should cost around $1,300.
HP has confirmed that this device will be available in November 2025 and pricing will be announced closer to availability.
While the price is intended to appeal to small businesses and creators, choosing a VA panel instead of an IPS or OLED type introduces limitations.
VA panels typically offer strong contrast ratios, but have narrower viewing angles and slower response times, making them less ideal for color-critical work or fast motion.
The monitor features a 60Hz refresh rate, DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 100W Power Delivery.
It can handle dual-input picture-by-picture setups, allowing users to view two systems simultaneously.
The display covers 99% of the sRGB color space but lacks full Adobe RGB or DCI-P3 coverage.
This can disappoint photographers and designers who rely on accurate color calibration.
However, for those who prioritize screen size and built-in conferencing tools over top-notch color performance, HP’s offering could still represent a practical balance between cost and capability.
