HP 27-inch QHD Gaming with Tilt/Height Adjustment with AMD FreeSync Premium Technology (X27q, 2021 model)

The monitor itself is great. Clear image, and very nice response times. Satisfied with my purchase with what I paid for it. However I was shipped a faulty power cable. Luckily I had a UPS, as using the power cable that was shipped in the box caused the circuit to short. The first time I tried to power the monitor on, it immediately shut my other monitor and PC off. I attempted to start the monitor again, with the same results. Used a different outlet on the same circuit, with the same result. I ended up using an old power cable from an unused TV and now it works with no issue. Overall the issue was a minimal fix for me. However I do not think every customer will be equipped for that situation, nor should they have to. Some bad QC as a faulty cable can cause some damage. Would have given this five stars otherwise.

I got this and I am using an Nvidia Quadro 5000k video card. I hooked the display port to display port cable and it will not work. I get a black screen saying disconnected or some sort. I hooked up both monitors, my old one...with DVI port at 60hz and this one both..and both come up. Old one is default..the new screen comes up too but is secondary. So it will not work on its own. I went into the settings in both win10 and Nvidia to set it..the highest was 122hz. this video card I bought this year. SOOO I am not sure where to go from here. I ordered a DVI to display port cable adapter and we will see if that works..but that kinda defeats the purpose for the 144hz. If I cant find a solution, I will return this. Just beware if you have this video card, this screen monitor may not work for you. FYI-the display port cable that came with it..garbage for me. It has metal hooks on it..I assume to hold it in place in the port but...try removing it without ripping everything out. I used a different cable without the hooks..MUCH better. I recommend getting another cable unless you like tearing up your video card ports.

What I didnt like : image ghosting and saturation spikes when moving camera view quickly when gaming at the highest response time (level 4), image tearing when moving camera view quickly when gaming at lower response times (level 1) What I liked : easy setup and installation, sturdy stand with full rotation and tilt options, good color accurate panel with high refresh rate and great OSD troubleshooting features

I love this monitor! For $299 you really cant beat it. The HP X27Q looks great, performs great, and is cheap. It arrived with no dead pixels, no noticable light bleed that I could see, and great color uniformity. So why only four stars? The warranty practices... This monitor comes with a one year warranty, BUT it starts from the day it was actually manufactured, not the day you buy it. NOTE: You can email HP and get the warranty dates changed to start from your date of purchase by providing them proof of when it was purchased, but I feel like this shouldnt be necessary, it should just be automatic that the warranty starts from your date of purchase. Thats why I knocked off a star.

This is a very new 165Hz gaming monitor and as such there unfortunately isnt many reviews for it out there so I decided Id write a few words regarding my experience with it thus far. I have been using the HP X27q for a few days now and so far I absolutely love it. The screen is absolutely beautiful and in my personal opinion it feels like 27 seems to be a pretty good sweet spot for the QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution that this monitor provides. The Height Adjustment mechanism is very smooth as well. It was very easy to setup and it came with a DisplayPort cable in the box which was a nice bonus. For my use case I mostly use the monitor connected via DisplayPort to my desktop computer with an AMD graphics card. However, I did temporarily connect it to my gaming laptop which uses Nvidia and while the monitor uses AMD FreeSync Premium and isnt listed as G-Sync compatible I manually enabled G-Sync within the Nvidia software on my laptop and it seemed to work just fine in my limited testing. (I should note that the G-Sync option will only appear when the monitor is connected via the DisplayPort.) I also tested my laptop connected to the monitor’s HDMI port using a premium Cable Matters HDMI cable and was getting a 144Hz refresh rate at the maximum resolution in the few games that I tested. The only very minor annoyance that I have is that you have to reach your hand around the back of the right side of the monitor to access the controls.

Excelente monitor.

Bought 2 to replace my current Full HD monitor when it was on Amazon lighting deal. Works great! It event has display port! One of the best purchase I made this year

The Title says this is the 2021 model. But mine was produced in November 2022. They used this in the title to attempt to entice you with the chance of receiving an lim101 panel. You wont. It is a trick. I received an lim131 panel. For the price ($209) it is admittedly fine. But they know what they are doing and it is pretty rude.

Theyve made a silent downgrade for this monitor: its no longer using LG panels. They now use BOE, which is a cut-rate panel with much worse quality control. Ive got it for a song, but Im starting to think that Im getting what Ive paid for.

It was time to upgrade from my 24 inch AOC. I was looking for something around $200 that was bigger and more fit for gaming since I have start playing more. Id say this monitor is perfect for everything! Flat monitors tend to have better quality displays 27 inches is perfect for just about anything, work, gaming, movies Refresh rate of 165Hz is awesome, I definitely notice the difference with gaming Color and brightness are awesome, works perfectly for work (design work) I dont normally order stuff that doesnt have Prime delivery but after searching around, this was the best choice. I highly reccommend!
