HP Series 5 Pro 514pn

Obwohl das IPS-Black-Display des HP 514pn in puncto Kontrast nicht mit der Qualität von OLED mithalten kann, ist der 514pn in der Farbwiedergabe den OLED-Alternativen ebenbürtig oder sogar überlegen. Außerdem ist er hell, was auf Reisen nützlich ist. Diese Vorteile rechtfertigen den höheren Preis.

The HP Series 5 Pro 514pn’s design and build quality is certainly a highlight. I’ve complained in the past that mid-range portable monitors, like the Dell Pro 14 Plus , don’t always do enough to stand out from budget peers. The HP 514pn is a different story. It’s attractive and light, yet functional.

Not only is the 514pn one of the brightest portable displays we've tested, but its pixel-dense 16:10 panel has excellent contrast, and essentially full coverage of the three color spaces for which we test monitors (sRGB, Adobe RGB, and DCI-P3). A sturdy fold-out kickstand lets you tilt the panel to a wide range of angles.

While “Neo:LED” is just an LG-branded version of its IPS Black panel with a mini-LED backlight — a low-power variation of the company’s QNED TV panels, which have been out for a while — the HP Series 5 Pro 514PN is the first of the new laptop screens I’ve seen that uses the technology.

Those clear advantages earn the 514pn a firm Editors' Choice award as an elite portable productivity monitor. The 514pn does lack touch-screen functionality, though; if you need that feature, go with the Lenovo M14t Gen2.

Ultimately, the HP 514PN delivers a superior portable display experience, but its high price may not justify the cost for all users. The higher contrast and power efficiency could be worthwhile for those who spend long hours in front of a screen, but for casual users, cheaper alternatives may suffice.

The 514PN uses LG's IPS Black technology, which improves upon traditional IPS by increasing the contrast ratio from the typical 1,000:1 to 2,000:1. This results in deeper blacks and better color accuracy. In practice, this means dark scenes in movies or games appear with actual black levels rather than the grayish tint common to standard IPS panels.

Finally, I have another slight ding for the 514pn. The monitor comes with a thin protective cover that magnetically attaches to the panel's front, but I would have liked a full protective sleeve; when I took the monitor with me for a weekend away, I put it in a laptop sleeve to protect the aluminum from scratching.
