With a decent design and good display, the Envy 32 could have just been a straightforward AIO with a large, high-res screen, but HP was interested in adding more to the "all" in "all-in-one". Nor can you turn it without turning the whole PC if you're looking from the side. You can tilt the display up or down via the rear stand, but it doesn't rotate between landscape and portrait modes. Colors and detail are fine and the display does indeed get plenty bright, but it doesn't blow me away. The overall quality is strong without being much to write home about it's an above-average screen for its feature set, if not necessarily for its picture quality. It's an IPS panel, with wide viewing angles and a glass cover that looks nice and won't get covered in fingerprints given the lack of touch technology. The display qualifies as HDR600 (its max brightness is 600 nits, with a 6,000:1 contrast ratio), making it the first all-in-one desktop to meet that mark, and HP says it covers 98 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut. It measures 31.5 inches diagonally and boasts an alluring 4K resolution. Since the screen is the focus, let's dive into the details. The display's bezels are visible but neither too thick nor especially thin. Though the base and stand are relatively small, the big screen will be a very noticeable part of your room's décor. While unpacking it, it struck me just how big it is, even though the 32-inch display should more than clue you in. The Envy 32 AIO is a nice-looking desktop. The Envy 32 can do everything well (even gaming) and delivers some nice extras at a reasonable price, making it our Editors' Choice in the category. Best of all, it's much less expensive than the iMac, while still offering features such as 4K (3,840 by 2,160) screen resolution, superior graphics, and a super sound bar. It's a premium Windows machine like the Surface Studio, but like the iMac bears no touch screen and boasts a high-power desktop rather than mobile processor for better performance than most Windows AIOs.
HP is bridging the gap between these two icons with the new Envy 32 All-in-One (starts at $1,799.99 $2,499.99 as tested). The Apple iMac set the bar in this category ages ago, while Microsoft's Surface Studio 2 has its own touch-screen advantages.
