The HP V320 is a budget 1080p IPS monitor with average motion and slightly below-average picture quality. It doesn't really exceed at anything, but also doesn't have any huge flaws. The input lag is quite low for a 60Hz monitor, so it feels responsive. Motion blur and gray uniformity are also great.
Our Verdict
The HP V320 is an alright monitor for a range of usages. Picture quality is below average, but the monitor can get bright to overcome glare and the gray uniformity is great. The image also remains accurate at an angle, which is great. Some temporary image retention is visible; however, this is unlikely to be an issue. The motion blur and input lag are great so it feels responsive.
- Image remains accurate when viewed at an angle.
- Good motion blur and input lag.
- Black uniformity is poor.
- Very low pixel density due to resolution and screen size.
The HP V320 is okay for office use. The larger size is a bonus, however, the 1080p resolution means that it doesn't have any more usable area than smaller monitors. The picture quality is below average, but it does remain quite accurate when viewed at an angle which is good for sharing images with coworkers. Unfortunately, the stand has limited mobility so it can be hard to find a comfortable viewing position.
The HP V320 is a decent monitor for gamers. The HP 320 feels responsive due to the low motion blur and input lag, however, not as responsive as some other monitors due to the 60Hz refresh rate. The response time can be adjusted as preferred, which is also great. Unfortunately, the picture quality is below average and it doesn't support more advanced gaming features such as FreeSync or the ability to flicker the backlight and clear up motion.
The HP V320 is only okay for watching movies and TV shows. Picture quality is below average due to low native contrast ratio and poor black uniformity. The monitor can get quite bright to combat glare, but reflection handling is below average so direct reflections can be distracting.
The HP V320 is mediocre for editing photos or videos. Picture quality is below average, and colors are quite inaccurate out of the box. The HP 320 is worse than most other monitors at handling reflections but it can get quite bright to overcome glare.
The HP V320 doesn't support HDR or a wide color gamut.

Popular Monitor Comparisons
The HP V320 is a budget monitor which offers great value for size but the picture quality is sub-par.
The LG 29UM69G-B is somewhat better than the HP V320. The LG 29UM69G-B has marginally better reflection handling, so it is better if you place it in a room with many light sources. The LG also has a better refresh rate and better image flicker, and thus motion looks crisper. Finally, the LG 29UM69G-B has a higher resolution and will display more detail on the screen.
The Dell P2217H is significantly better than the HP V320. The Dell P2217H has much better ergonomics that allow you to place it in a comfortable position and also has slightly better reflections so that you do not worry about room lighting. The HP V320, on the other hand, is larger but has the same FHD resolution as the Dell, which means that apart from larger size pixels, you do not get more screen space for work.
The Dell U2715H is much better than the HP V320 for every usage. The Dell U2715H has much better ergonomics so you can position it easily as you like. It has higher resolution and can display more details regardless of the smaller screen size. Finally, the Dell U2715H has better reflection handling so you can place it in a brighter room without any issues.
The Dell U2415 is significantly better than the HP V320 in all usages. The Dell U2415 has much better ergonomics so you can easily place it as you prefer and this is a big plus for most usages.

The HP V320 is a much larger monitor, though.
We buy and test more than 30 monitors each year, all of which we purchase ourselves, without cherry-picked units or samples. We put a lot into each unbiased, straight-to-the-point review, and there's a whole process from purchasing to publishing, involving multiple teams and people. We do more than just use the monitor for a week; we use specialized, custom tools to measure various aspects and deliver objective, data-driven results. We also consider multiple factors before making any recommendations, including the monitor's cost, its performance compared to the competition, and whether it's easy to find.
