HP S430c 43" Curved UltraWide Monitor (2019)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
HP S430c is a premium 43.4-inch 1800R-curved ultra-wide monitor. It boasts a rare dual-WUXGA (3840x1200) resolution, which equals exactly two WUXGA monitors side-by-side. Optimized for productivity tasks and general computing, the S430c nonetheless lacks some sought-after features.
At the front is an 8-bit VA panel with good, though not great, color reproduction, though HP has opted to omit built-in speakers. There is, however, a pop-up webcam, which, though useful, is a peculiar choice when the monitor lacks speakers: one would think the former to be less useful without the latter.
What is included is a strong built-in USB-C hub with support for up to 65W power delivery.

Reviewer score 89%The S430c did a great job in our lab testing, and just about hit all the metrics HP advertises. The curved panel is also bright and colorful, so I felt like I had my own personal movie theater at my desk. The internal camera's color accuracy was good but there was more visual noise than I was hoping.

Pros
- Gorgeous 43-inch, 4K panel
- Excellent color accuracy
- Excellent dual-system setup
Cons

- No IR camera

Reviewer score 46%The HP S430c has a 43-inch ultrawide panel with a native resolution of 3,840 by 1,200 pixels. The panel type is VA and it's a conventional SDR rather than HDR display, with peak brightness of 350 nits. It's a middling quality VA panel with OK colors, decent contrast and unimpressive pixel response. The novel aspect is HP's Device Bridge software. It allows you to use a single keyboard and mouse with both devices.
