HP debuts virtual reality displays

HP has expanded its portfolio of computer monitors with various new models that feature virtual reality displays, 4K and 5K ultra high-definition displays and curved displays that are all targeting consumers and professionals.

We’ll start with the new HP Zvr virtual reality display – this is a 23.6-inch display that allows users to manipulate and navigate 3D images. This means you can now perform a number of actions without leaving your desk. The display makes use of zSpace technology and offers real-time natural interaction for numerous people that use the display. The display has dual-link DVI or DisplayPort connections and the optional HP zView solution allows real time sharing of 3D models on a 2D big screen.

The new HP Z27s, Z24s and Z27q displays will take you to the high-definition realm with ease.

Both monitors have 16:9 UHD displays with sRGB or AdobeRGB color gamuts and 1.07 billion colors; they also feature DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, Mini-DP, MHL and USB 3.0 connections as well as four-way ergonomic stands, including pivots so that you can quickly switch between landscape and portrait modes.

The HP Z27q is the biggest gun among the three monitors. It has a 27-inch IPS display that works at 5K resolution (5120 x 2880 pixels), which is seven times more pixels than a standard full HD display. The display also has 14.7 million pixels, a 16:9 aspect ratio, 300 nits luminance and 1.07 billion colors. In addition you will be able to take advantage of picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture features.
