HP ZR30w Versus DoubleSight DS-309W, 30-Inch Monitors, Tested

With a steady stream of 27-inch QHD monitors coming through our lab, we thought we’d take a quick break and test two even bigger screens, the 30-inch, 16:10 aspect ratio HP ZR30w and DoubleSight DS-309W. How do these $1000+ stunners compare?

The HP ZR30w is a massive 30-inch IPS monitor with an equally massive price tag. It offers good grayscale performance and wide viewing angles but its lack of picture settings and limited video inputs hold it back.

Not only has HP given us a sweet monitor, they’ve done it at a reasonable price compared to other monitors in the market.
