- HP Series 5 Pro 49-inch monitor expands productivity to 5120 x 1440 pixels
- Its VA panel offers deep contrast, even if viewing angles remain limited
- Built-in webcam and microphones make this display ideal for video-intensive workflows
HP has unveiled a 49-inch curved ultrawide monitor designed for professionals looking for a wide workspace and sharp visuals without paying premium prices.
The monitor offers 5K resolution of 5120 x 1440 on its VA panel, providing an expanded field of view suitable for multitasking, editing and productivity tasks.
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 for trading.
Integrated camera and conferencing features
This new HP Series 5 Pro conference monitor includes a 5 megapixel pop-up webcam.
The camera supports Windows Hello facial recognition and includes a physical shutter for privacy when not in use.
Dual microphones and front-facing speakers make this a standalone setup for video conferencing and remote working, reducing the need for external accessories.
HP has also integrated ambient light and presence sensors to automatically adjust brightness and power settings.
This professional monitor is a cost-effective alternative to high-end 49-inch ultrawide options from Dell or Samsung.
At the time of 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.
If the price aims to attract small businesses and creators, the choice of a VA panel rather than an IPS or OLED type introduces limits.
VA panels typically offer high contrast ratios, but have narrower viewing angles and slower response times, making them less ideal for color-critical work or rapid movement.
The monitor features a 60Hz refresh rate, DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 100W of power.
It can handle dual-input frame-by-frame setups, allowing users to view two systems simultaneously.
The display covers 99% of the sRGB color space but does not have full Adobe RGB or DCI-P3 coverage.
This can disappoint photographers and designers who rely on precise color calibration.
However, for those who value screen size and built-in conferencing tools over top-tier color performance, HP’s offering could still represent a practical balance between cost and capability.
