Windows 10: CES 2019: Latest HP PCs and displays

Brink · Jan 7, 2019

At CES 2019, HP’s latest products reveal powerful new ways for consumers to connect, create and compete.

The HP Spectre x360 15 will be the the world’s first 15-inch laptop with an AMOLED display, the latest addition to an already redesigned premium PC.

Initially unveiled late last year, the dramatically reinvented HP Spectre Folio – the world’s first leather convertible PC – is now available in Bordeaux Burgundy and with a 4K display option exclusively via HP.com for a starting price of $1,309.99.

Do more with less when you use the ultra-slim HP ENVY USB-C Hub, which includes pass-through charging to your notebook, two USB-A charging ports and an HDMI 2.0 port with 4K resolution support. It is expected to be available in March for a starting price of $79.99.

HP also unveiled a new line of Pavilion displays that immerse users in whatever they are creating or watching. The HP Pavilion 27 Quantum Dot is the world’s first Quantum Dot on glass display, offering more than a billion viewable colors. It is expected to be available in March for a starting price of $399. The HP Pavilion 27 FHD offers a variety of features such as built-in B&O audio and a pop-up privacy camera, and is expected to be available in March for a starting price of $329. The HP Pavilion 32 QHD is a dynamic display with immersive QHD resolution and stunning vantage points from almost any angle. It is expected to be available in June for a starting price of $379.99.

The OMEN X Emperium 65 Big Format Gaming Display with NVIDIA G-SYNC HDR is the world’s first big format gaming display with a soundbarl [1], taking the living room gaming experience to new and incredible places with a 144 Hz refresh rate. Another previously unannounced feature is the OMEN X Emperium Soundbar, the world’s first big format gaming display with soundbar [2]. You don’t need a separate subwoofer with this potent trio: LOFAR Low Frequency Array, VRT Vibration Reduction Technology and a three-way stereo crossover system. The OMEN X Emperium 65 with soundbar is expected to be available in February for a starting price of $4,999.

HP is also updating two of its best-selling OMEN PCs to take advantage of the newest technology available. The OMEN 15 Laptop debuted in May, with an option for the world’s first 240 Hz laptop display. Since then, the OMEN by HP team added NVIDIA’s latest mobile graphics cards and optional 802.11ax Wi-Fi. It is expected to be available in July.

Finally, the newest version of OMEN Obelisk Desktop goes into overdrive with the latest specs to handle the most rigorous games available. It’s now capable of:

up to 64 GB of HyperX Memory

up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080Ti graphics

up to a 9th Generation Intel Core i9-9900K CPU

dual SSD w/ RAID0

liquid cooling

It is expected to be available in March for a starting price of $2,249.99.

The way people work is changing. The workforce is working on the go, working from home and airports, and collaborating in more open environments within the office. Security is more important than ever to protect devices, identity and data.

HP unveiled a more secure vision for the workplace of the future with the introduction of its third generation of its HP Sure View integrated privacy screen [3]. New Elite products featuring HP Sure View Gen3 give you new ways of working while protecting sensitive information on the go, at desks and around the office.

The HP EliteBook x360 830 G5 is the world’s brightest business convertible [4] bringing x360 versatility mainstream for on-the-go workers. Look for it in March. The HP EliteDisplay E243p Sure View Monitor (below) is the world’s first display with an integrated privacy screen that instantly creates confidentiality in open workspaces and is expected to be available in February. The HP EliteOne 800 AiO G4 is the world’s first AiO with an integrated privacy screen that also packs desktop discrete graphics performance into a space-saving, sleek design. It is expected to be available in June.

At CES® 2019 next month, LG Electronics (LG) will unveil its latest range of “Ultra” Monitors, including a 49-inch display for business professionals and a 38-inch display for gamers.

Building on its reputation as a leading innovator in the UltraWide monitor category, the new 49-inch LG UltraWide Monitor (model 49WL95) is built to boost productivity whatever the task, while the latest LG UltraGear™ Gaming Monitor (model 38GL950G) combines superb picture quality with blazing speed to deliver the immersive experiences gamers demand.

2019 LG UltraWide Monitor

Helping users get more done in less time, LG’s latest UltraWide Monitor has a large, 32:9 aspect ratio screen that delivers exceptional picture quality. With its cinematic scale, the UltraWide Monitor is a convenient, high-quality solution that replaces the need for a multi-screen setup. The additional space supplied by its 49-inch display and incredible aspect ratio makes the LG UltraWide ideal for multitasking. Meanwhile, 5120 x 1440 resolution (double the pixel count of two 27-inch Quad High Definition screens combined) with 108 pixels per inch ensures documents are easier to read and digital files are easier to edit.

While suitable for any type of work, the LG UltraWide Monitor is a natural fit for those professionals in finance, IT, digital design and architecture firms seeking to upgrade their technology and improve output. Utilizing LG’s IPS technology, the latest LG UltraWide Monitor offers stunningly accurate color reproduction covering 99 percent of the sRGB color space. Supporting High Dynamic Range (HDR) 10, it is also capable of displaying images and video in 4K resolution.

To make the most of its expansive panel, the LG UltraWide Monitor provides the versatile Picture by Picture mode (PBP), making it possible to view content from multiple external sources side-by-side, or work with multiple applications simultaneously. Dual Controller Software allows users to connect to several devices and control all of them with just a single keyboard and mouse. This software combines perfectly with the PBP function to help improve workflow and increase efficiency. Via the USB Type-C port, users can also transfer data and charge devices including laptops with 85W batteries simultaneously. The UltraWide Monitor’s eye-catching 32:9 curved screen heightens the user’s sense of immersion when viewing movies and other content. What’s more, the clean, minimalist design and slim metal stand add an elegant touch to this productivity powerhouse.

2019 LG UltraGear Gaming Monitor

LG is also debuting its rapid 38-inch Nano IPS UltraGear Monitor at CES 2019. The latest LG UltraGear Monitor supports NVIDIA G-SYNC™ to reduce ‘screen tearing,’ a 144Hz refresh rate and an impressively low response time of 2m/s allowing for fast and fluid gaming. Vivid images with jaw-dropping color come courtesy of the LG UltraGear Monitor’s 3840 x 1600 resolution and 98 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The LG UltraGear Monitor facilitates enveloping gaming experiences with its 21:9 ultrawide ratio, curved screen and virtually borderless design. Gamers can also create their own unique ambiance with Sphere Lighting that boasts six color settings to complement any game or movie.

“LG is consistently bringing advanced monitors to market, packed with features and functions specifically for different consumer segments,” said Jang Ik-hwan, head of LG’s IT division of the Home Entertainment Company. “With a wide choice of models that prioritize productivity, picture quality and out-of-this-world gaming, more and more consumers are seeing LG as a innovation leader in monitors.”

Visitors to LG’s booth (Las Vegas Convention Center, Central Hall #11100) at CES 2019 will experience first-hand the new features of the 2019 UltraWide monitors from LG.
