HP Envy 34c

Every curved display we’ve reviewed so far offers a slightly different package. For all-around use and casual gaming, the HP Envy 34c is a good choice and its contrast is better than almost any monitor you can name. We hope prices will drop in the future but for now users with generous budgets may choose this moment to go for the curve.
