HP’s upcoming USB-C monitor includes a retractable webcam with Center Stage-style tracking. The monitor is designed for professionals who need a reasonably high pixel density, but who don’t need the color space required by audiovisual professionals…

ArsTechnica says the new G3 variant is identical to the Z24m except for the webcam.

The HP Z24m G3 I tested this week seems to be a decent option for workers who don’t need the highest resolution panel, either because they’re content with fewer pixels or using a multi-monitor setup.

At 2560×1440, the 23.8-inch monitor still has a good pixel density of 123 ppi. USB-C, with its current maximum output of 100W, makes it suitable for thin and light Windows-based laptops and MacBooks that can charge through the port. […]

It should have enough color gamut to work with Windows and the web, and cater for Mac users with 99% sRGB and 90% DCI-P3 color gamut.

But what sets the model apart from similar HP monitors is the Center Stage-style tracking webcam.

On the Z24m panel is a non-removable 5-megapixel webcam. […] When the camera is on, everyone is looking at you. When I saw the Z24m, its camera captured my image and followed me as I stood a few feet from the monitor and moved from side to side. The camera even managed to keep me in frame with someone else in the frame.

An HP spokesperson said the settings could be changed to make the camera run faster. I was in a moderately lit room and my skin and hair colors looked pretty accurate.

The monitor software allows you to crop the image and adjust brightness and exposure levels using sliders.

Apple first launched Center Stage in last year’s iPad Pro models.

The all-new Center Stage uses an ultra-wide camera and machine learning to change the way you participate in video calls. As you move, it automatically moves to keep you centered in the frame. As others join or leave the call, the view expands or grows larger. Center Stage works with FaceTime and other video conferencing apps for even more fun.

When you first try the Center Stage during a video call, the effect is both creepy and charming: at first, it will look like the camera inside the iPad is physically moving, or like a remote camera operator secretly controlling an ultra-wide-angle camera. to keep you properly framed. Instead, the Center Stage is the result of a clever combination of ultra-wide field of view and real-time framing based on machine learning.

The company first introduced it to the Mac at Studio Display but immediately ran into trouble when reviewers and users complained that cropping was one of the reasons the webcam produced poor image quality. The subsequent software update only slightly improved performance, while the second one helped a little more.
