Unboxing Review of the HP 32F

[@hannahharris9779]

Thanks for putting this video together Oliver! I just purchased this monitor yesterday and your video was helpful and it made me chuckle. Cheers to 2021!

[@MrMroliversmith]

Thanks Hannah! Your comment made me smile, happy 2021 to you too!

​@@MrMroliversmith do you still use this monitor

[@MrMroliversmith]

@@traveller986 I do! Every day! It's still only 1080p and 60hz but it looks great and just keeps doing it's thing.

[@macrovigilance]

Cheers Oliver, definitely helpful as thinking of buying this and I always appreciate the English self-deprecating manner. Good stuff!

[@MrMroliversmith]

You are most welcome Mr Vigilance. Many thanks for the feedback :)

[@hoss7939]

I'm hoping to get one of these used and your unboxing and great video has convinced me to buy.Thanks Oliver

[@MrMroliversmith]

Excellent :) It's crazy that it's been almost a year and a half since I got this monitor - I've used it every day and it is still awesome!

[@papa.alfredo]

I normally don't like the unpacking videos, I could say say, I hate it, however, I liked your unpacking video, you are very natural and funny guy, saw your video till the end, nice Monitor, will buy it sooner than later, thank you and greetings from Germany, Alfredo

[@darkroastlefty2803]

thank u for putting one a vid on this monitor, finally! :)

[@christopherdavies5848]

Love the review Oliver mate this is perfect and I will buy this on Thursday. Happy Christmas and New Year. Keep up the great reviews.

[@MrMroliversmith]

Cheers Chris!

[@1jmcm]

Thanks for the vid 👍

[@Meow-gt9dm]

Thx man, I decided to buy it, and its will be my first pc :)

[@saigrundy]

so i ordered this monitor. PROS: very sleek, thin design, very light weight. *feels* edge to edge even though it isnt. It's brilliant (not as crisp as, say, a high resolution retina display on a mac.. you can still see pixels).. I like it better than my 32 inch LG which was twice the price but no matter the adjustments or driver software never gave me true whites or blacks (it also looked grainy all the time) CONS: not adjustable height! whyyyy?? Also, if you want to mount it you have to buy a special attachment bc it doesn't actually have the pre-drilled VESA pattern on the back of it... there's actually nothing pre-fabricated to mount it. think of that extra $25 in mounting attachment accessories if you're looking for that. ALSO: no built-in speakers. oh the price we pay for slim design. note: i am not a gamer. i use my display for screen real estate because i am a self-loathing academic who needs to spread out my documents and do multiple split screens.

[@MrMroliversmith]

Hey s g, thanks for the contribution! Glad you like it better than your LG. You're spot on about the mounting, height adjustment and speakers - if these things are important, this monitor is not for you. Don't self-loathe! Love the fabulous, helpful, intelligent woman that you quite clearly are :)

[@gerkomulder105]

Hey man, just seeing this now. Got the 27 inch, thought about buying 32 and using my 27 as second monitor as I'm always working from home. Side note: Please do more reviews of stuff you get, your absolutely a funny guy and I liked the jokes you cracked. Cheers!

[@MrMroliversmith]

Lol! Just seeing your comment now Gerko 😆 Thank you so much for your feedback! I fear that maybe this video was a fluke - would anyone really be interested in me reviewing random stuff? Plus most videos are really professional and I can't compete with that! But it was really good fun to do and I'm so glad people found it useful. Maybe I'll just do one more....

[@jamietompkins2681]

Great video thank you 🙏🏽

[@Existentialist946]

Does it reflect light, making it difficult to read text?

[@MrMroliversmith]

Not really - sorry for the slow reply!

[@jaystechroom]

Yesss. Hmmmm hahaha favorite part. Great video!! Also greetings from California!!!😎🙏🤘🏻

[@MrMroliversmith]

Hey folks, should I make another video? This unboxing was WAAAAAY more popular than I ever expected and I have recently bought more gear. - Dell G5 SE - A budget gaming laptop with serious power - LG Gram 16 - A mobile powerhouse - 2019 13" MacBook Pro vs LG Gram vs Dell G5 - MX Master 3 - A lovely mouse - Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard - No idea, only ordered it 10 mins ago - Oculus Quest 2 - Mindblowing and infuriating - Everything - All the above, life, the universe and everything - Nothing - I'm a one hit wonder. My time in the spotlight has passed and youtube already has plenty of drivel Thank you so very much for your wonderful comments, likes and subs! You have truly inspired me and made me realise that the world is a wonderful place full of lovely people like you

[@Summer9604]

go ahead, mate! Do your thing! Thanks for this video, btw.

[@keetvhdlimited962]

if this is VA panel why is its contrast ration stated as 1000?

[@hullaballoo11]

Great video.....and very entertaining!!! Had to laugh at the "should i bother to add some backround music to a video that will be watched by about 5 people"........16k + views later.....Classic :)

[@MrMroliversmith]

I know! I'm utterly flaberghasted at the sheer number of people who have watched, liked, commented and even subscribed!!! Thank you Hullaballoo and everyone for your attention and wonderful comments!

[@kwh1183]

For those who have found this video, I now have the 27" and 32" models and the screen is more of a "matte" feel on the 27 and the 32 feels like a plastic "glass" feel. This might back up the call-out in the video about how it's not really anti-glare in the 32".

[@MrMroliversmith]

Thanks for the insight Matthew! Interesting that HP use different materials for the 27f and 32f...

[@jaystechroom]

I have the 27es model. Thinking of just getting the 32 and getting rid of my 27 inch 2012 iMac since I have an 2021 iPad and also a 2017 MacBook Pro

[@cartsmusic]

Did you go for it? I have 27es and also thinking of getting this one.

[@jaystechroom]

@@cartsmusic hey man! I actually had the 24 inch model first. Then the 27 inch then the 32 inch. I loved the 32 inch but I eventually sold all at separate times and got myself a dell u2715h then sold that and got an hp z32 g2/3 or whatever. Then broke that and bought a dell u3219q :)

[@keetvhdlimited962]

What’s the product number of this

[@randyyeung9285]

Just wondering about this monitor if it has bolt holes for wall mounting?

[@MrMroliversmith]

It does not :(

[@andresvillamizar99]

Oliver, what else ould you tell me, please, the size of the border around the screen how much it measures. if you are so kind.

[@MrMroliversmith]

Hi Andrés, there is a roughly 9mm border between the last pixel and the edge of the casing on the top and sides, with an 18mm border at the bottom.

[@WayneMusicianUK]

Hi Oliver, still enjoying your monitor? Was thinking of getting one... I won’t do any gaming on it, maybe the odd retro type game.. My main use is KZbin, Microsoft Excel viewing my family photos Facebook etc etc Good for all these things???

[@MrMroliversmith]

Yes Wayne, I am still enjoying my monitor very much! I just bought a new laptop with a 144hz screen. I honestly can't tell the difference the refresh rate makes. The human eye works at about 25hz so the 60hz of this monitor is more than enough. The only time I would recommend something else is if you sit close to your monitor (less than 1 metre) you might want a higher resolution than the 1080p this monitor does. Other than that, it's perfect for Excel, FaceBook, KZbin etc. Just bear in mind it doesn't have speakers (because it's so thin).

[@WayneMusicianUK]

@@MrMroliversmith thanks matey.. I sit around 1.5 metres away from my current BenQ M2400HD, it’s only a 24 inch model and a 1080P

[@Ipodtouchfreak550]

Does this support a USB-C connection?

[@MrMroliversmith]

Nope

[@richeyrich6855]

Hello Oliver, thank you for the video. The specs say that it is 20.06 inches high from base stand to top of screen. Do you know if that is accurate? I have a hutch on top of my desk and I am playing with centimeters at this point. Thank you in advance, Mate.

[@MrMroliversmith]

Mine is precisely 50cm from base to top (which is a snatch under 20inches) so you should be ok so long as they are consistent :)

[@richeyrich6855]

@@MrMroliversmith Thank you for the reply and info. The monitor fits perfectly.

[@BunsenDj]

Can't see pixels during normal use? Do you recommend this monitor for the office?

[@MrMroliversmith]

It is 'only' full HD 1080p. If you sit with your head more than 1m away you won't notice the pixels but any closer and you might want to think QHD 1440p

[@BunsenDj]

@@MrMroliversmith Thanks for the answer. I think I will order this monitor because its appearance is very impressive and I like it very much. It looks a bit like an iMac.

[@نبیلہٹبصم]

Where is the buying link in description?

[@MrMroliversmith]

Ahhhhhh... THAT'S how KZbinrs make money isn't it? Thank you Mohammed, I shall investigate. In the meantime, I have put a link in the description as you suggested.

[@anateixeira580]

Hello can u tell me if it has speakers on it, I bought mine and it’s incredible but I not able to play sound on it, and no one can confirm or deny if it has speakers, sorry for my poor English, and thank for the video I actually bought it after watching

[@MrMroliversmith]

Oh dear, I'm sorry Ana, it does not have speakers :( I use bluetooth headphones or my laptop's built in speakers

[@jehadjowdeh1850]

How many frames can it run

[@MrMroliversmith]

60hz

Hello, what size is the monitor base?

[@MrMroliversmith]

23x27cm is the 'footprint' of the device :)

Extremely useful. Many thanks.

Is it 4K

[@MrMroliversmith]

Nope. 1080p

[@saigrundy]

it was useful to me, mate :)

[@MrMroliversmith]

Hurrah! Thanks for the feedback S :)

[@TechQuentin]

Thank you for this video. You helped me determine which power adapter is used for this monitor. I have several adapters that have "HP" on them but this one did not. :-)

[@MrMroliversmith]

Haha! That's BRILLIANT! Glad to have been unexpectedly helpful :D

[@gaetan6151]

same here. I needed to know if the adapter was external to install it in my camping car

hey ik im late to this video but can you reply to this with a power cable for this monitor please i need it

crap! I was hoping there are mounting wholes for wall mount... oh well. a solid monitor nonetheless.

Yeah, it's not really wall mountable :(

[@Bflogirl95]

@@MrMroliversmith I've been searching relentlessly. Ordered two different mount from Amazon. one from Gladiator Joe and the other from Vivo. The one from Gladiator Joe was 3D printed and didnt fit. the one from Vivo didn't fit either. My guess is thst they'll become mountable in the future but at the current moment, they aren't.
