HP OmniBook Ultra 14 Tops Dell XPS 14 Display With 2x Brightness, Beats Asus on Clarity

3 articles · Updated · Notebookcheck.net · Jun 16

Summary

  • HP’s 2026 OmniBook Ultra 14 ships with an OLED panel that is roughly twice as bright as the Dell XPS 14 while avoiding the matte finish that softens the Asus ExpertBook Ultra’s image.
  • 1,100-nit HDR support puts HP between Dell’s 500 nits and Asus’s 1,500 nits, giving it a middle ground of stronger brightness than Dell and a crisper glossy picture than Asus.
  • Matte OLED helps the Asus cut glare, but the coating adds slight grain that hurts clarity; Dell keeps a glossy panel yet trails both rivals on peak HDR brightness.
  • The display edge adds to a broadly positive early take on HP’s Intel-based OmniBook Ultra 14, which was also praised for low weight and strong graphics for an office laptop.
