Slowly but surely, USB-C seems to be gaining popularity with the display makers and HP's most recent offerings, the U32 4K HDR monitor and the M34d WQHD curved monitor both feature USB-C ports with DP Alt mode and 65 W power delivery. As the product name implies, the U32 sports a 3840x2160 pixel resolution at 60 Hz and the M34d comes in at 3440x1440 pixels, although here you get a variable refresh rate of 48-100 Hz.

The U32 comes with a 31.5-inch 10-bit (8-bit + FRC) IPS panel with what we presume is a peak brightness of 400 nits and a contrast ratio of 1000:1. Connectivity consists of a DP 1.2 port, an HDMI 2.0 port, the aforementioned USB-C port, three USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports (aka USB 3.0) and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The U32 uses an external power brick, so there's also a barrel plug type power jack.The M34d doesn't get the HDR treatment and its 34-inch VA panel sadly only sports 250 nits (or possibly 300 nits depending on which HP site you look at) of brightness, with a dynamic contrast ratio of 3500:1. Connectivity is very similar to the U32, but you get a USB-B port and an extra USB-A port here, suggesting there might be some built in KVM functionality here, even though it's not explicitly mentioned. The power supply is integrated in the monitor.Both models are supplied with a USB-C cable, as well as an HDMI cable, with the U32 also gaining a DP cable. The U32 comes with a three years warranty, while the M34d has to make do with only a years warranty. The U32 is expected to retail for around US$499 when it lands next month, with the M34d being available for around US$530 now.
