About this deal

The biggest complaint, however, for the HP EliteDisplay E243d is its price which isn’t competitive in the modern market. You can get a USB-C monitor with the same display specifications for half the price at the expense of extra features such as the webcam. The HP EliteDisplay E243d is an excellent solution for productivity and business users, but many will look elsewhere due to the prohibitive price point. There is no need to calibrate the HP EliteDisplay E243d since it already offers an acceptable pre-calibrated state. Spending the extra on a colorimeter is unnecessary, especially since this model is already expensive as it is. The only adjustment we could recommend is the brightness which should be set to around 50% more or less. While HP has its own EliteBook range in mind to partner its EliteDisplay monitors – there’s even a power adapter in the box that lets you directly power older HP laptops that can’t charge via USB Type-C – I chose to hook up my Surface Book 2 and use it as my day-to-day setup. So I plugged my wired mouse and wired keyboard into the two USB 2 ports at the rear of this display, right next to the wired Ethernet port, and then connected the display and laptop using the supplied (and super-long) USB Type-C cable. HP doesn’t make any promises about colour accuracy, but the E243d returned an average Delta E of 1.54 while the E243 scored 0.87; both highly credible results. They’re not tuned for DCI-P3 or Adobe RGB colour spaces, only covering around 70% of both, but with 90% of the sRGB gamut in play, you can be confident in the colours you see on-screen. The HP EliteDisplay E243d doesn’t have FreeSync compatibility, so naturally, G-Sync is also out of the question. The monitor’s 1080p resolution at 60Hz doesn’t require it anyway, plus, it’s not meant for gaming purposes. Input lag sits at 10ms, so the device doesn’t feel sluggish or delayed with any type of use. Thoughts on the HP EliteDisplay E243d

The annoyance of this extra cable is more than compensated for by the extra screen space, though, because a 23.8in screen feels small by today’s standards. As is a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, which never feels quite enough for working on documents side by side. Both screens use the same IPS panel, and it’s well suited to office environments. Full HD in a 24-inch screen is still the universal standard for business use even if 1440p and 4K are now considerably cheaper. It doesn’t offer impressive sharpness and detail by today’s standards, but the excellent visibility it offers makes it great for reading and browsing. You won’t need to use scaling with this model, but the downside is it will feel a bit cramped for multitasking.

A neat solution for hotdesking environments, but you may find the panel size frustratingly small

The included stand on the HP EliteDisplay E243d offers tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments, allowing you to choose whichever orientation suits your needs. The pillar consists of two flat bars which will allow you to slip your cables in between while giving the monitor a contemporary appeal. You can also swap this part out with a 100 x 100 VESA mount, but we think it is unnecessary unless you are planning on multiple screens. The HP EliteDisplay E243d includes fantastic build quality thanks to the strong materials used and the company’s excellent craftsmanship. The device is polished from top to bottom, so there are no signs of cosmetic defects such as rough edges. The provided stand is sufficiently stable, and there are no creaking noises coming from its mechanism.The HP EliteDisplay E243d doesn’t take up a lot of space, but it is slightly heavier than similar-sized displays due to the metals used in the chassis. The base needs eight inches of depth, but its flat surface means you can place small peripherals such as mini soundbars on top of it.
