The HP LP3065 monitor is a landscape-only display — typical for a panel of this size — and it has a very stable mount that showed no wiggle in any of the tilt or rise operations. The viewing angle of the panel is given as 178° both horizontally and vertically, which seems to be accurate.

The HP LP3065 incorporates a USB 2.x port with one upstream and four downstream connectors. The HP LP3065 has a standard VESA wall mount option. On the test bench, the HP LP3065 performed the benchmark suites without any difficulty and produced excellent scores in terms of brightness, contrast, focus, convergence, color purity, geometric distortion, and raster rotation. No flickering or ghosting was present at any point during testing. Grays were generally a bit on the warm side — typical of recent HP flat-panel displays — with grayscale ramps that were smooth and showed no discreet steps. Yellows were very slightly dull but not enough to warrant a deduction of any kind. The display has no true OSM, which seems to be the norm for these extralarge panels. Physical controls consist of four buttons located at the bottom right of the bezel: input selection, – (minus), + (plus), Power button, and LED indicator. The buttons are dark, against a matte black housing, yet they are relatively easy to see. The overall design of the display and stand are attractive. The HP LP3065 has a three-year warranty that covers parts, labor, and on-site service, as well as 24-hour, 90-day toll-free technical support. Pricing for the HP LP3065 is $1,500. If you need a high-quality and very large display, the HP LP3065 is a wellbuilt and attractive choice. Highly Recommended. LaCie 321 Track expenses.
