This Hp has one of the largest (if not the largest) screens around for an all-in-one. The design of the unit is sleek and refined with an ultra Hd widescreen resolution of 3440 x 1440. Screensavers at this resolution look fantasic on the curved screen. I recommend wide-panoramic images to take advantage of the curvature such as wide-vista landscapes or aerial shots looking down. Nice sharp resolution great for watching movies or watching any of your visual media. Now for the buts....
Unit is a bit noisy when the built-in fan kicks in; takes up quite a bit of space on your table, and doesn't sit flush to a wall because of the USB connections you will have plugged into the back; speakers are ok but not great; unit also does not have a built-in Dvd drive. You'll need to buy an external Dvd player to watch movies. I bought the highly rated LG blu-ray model. recommend hooking up a good pair of external speakers with a subwoofer. I have a Bose system hooked up mine. My biggest complaint is that for all the screen space, movies won't fill the screen but instead appear in standard widescreen 16x10 aspect ratio. Hopefully HP will introduce a firmware update at some point enabling the monitor to compensate for its 3440 x 1440 format.
For the price (it's not cheap), you'll get one of the best all-in-]ones out there, which competes quite nicely with the high end Mac all-in-ones.
