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

Excellent performance at this price point. It has very good picture and motion quality with just one significant ergonomic issue, the user controls are on the back. This makes setup and adjustments bothersome. This monitor also solved an odd issue, Prime Video not playing in HD on a 2 monitor system even though the old monitor is HDCP compliant.

Cheap and very usefull

So, to start off with, this is a great monitor. A fantastic monitor. Everything from the rich colors to the increased frame rate is exactly what I had hoped for. Especially coming from a brand that I am very familiar with (I had a similar model but very early on, maybe 2011?). And, just like my previous monitor, this one rotates to a vertical display! Just make sure you tilt the monitor outward at the bottom in order to ensure you have enough clearance. Anyway, as mentioned, its a great monitor and would be a welcome addition to anyone looking to expand their desktop for work, or a gamer looking to enhance their gaming experience. Assembly of this item was also incredibly easy.. you literally open the box, remove the cardboard and snap the arm of the base into the back of the monitor. Et Voila! I do have a few issues with this monitor though.. - The cable thats included with it... it only provided a Display Port cable and unfortunately my laptop does not have one of those. I obviously had extra HDMI cables but I would have expected one to be included, especially at the $200+ price range. - the connection on the monitor for the Display Port is very tight and leaves little room for actually removing the Display Port cable once attached. A better design would have been to maybe put the push-release for the display port cable on the sides, instead of on top of the cable. - There is no auto-adjust display when rotating the monitor to vertical display. This might be something that I adjust on my display settings, but my last HP monitor that rotated would automatically change the display to vertical. This monitor works and looks great and none of these issues are deal breakers by any means. It just simply means I cant give it a 5-star review.

This should be used for a computer. I bought this for my ps5 but this has a 2.0 HDMI port, so I cant use VRR.

I switched from a 36 inch tv to this and Im so happy I did. Its perfect for gaming after you alter the monitors settings a bit. Highly recommend.

I love this monitor! It works so well and is the perfect size (it almost is even a little large for me). I have no complaints and I have had no issues with how it performs. My only complaint is that it only has 1 hdmi connection and 1 displayport connection. I have 2 devices that use hdmi and no devices that use displayport so my temporary solution is that I have to switch the hdmi cord back and forth between devices as I want to use them haha. I knew that when I bought the monitor though, so I didn’t take off any stars for it. No other complaints on this monitor!

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!

Used for gaming, photo editing, general computer-ing. HP pulled a bait-and-switch with this monitor, and you may get a superior LG panel or a subpar BOE panel. If you can get it for less than $200 its a steal either way, and a HUGE improvement from 1080p 60hz. IPS glow is kind of bad. My lower left corner has bad IPS glow, lower right is noticeable, top corners are fine.

Please excuse the cluttered desk haha Honestly one of the best monitors I’ve owned. Picture quality is above and beyond. Control menu very easy to use. Love that this has a portrait mode! The height on this monitor as well is amazing! Forward and back tilt as well! Bezel on monitor is very thin and maximizes the full screen capability as well! Highly recommend considering this for first time PC users or any level of computer user!

You arent going to get a better monitor without spending double. There are cheaper monitors on the market, but they tend to have really dim light and poor color quality. This monitor is very bright, smooth, and has amazing color quality. It has some small backlight bleed, but it isnt much and of course you arent going to get rid of it with out spending at least double. Dont buy something cheaper, wait a while and get this one!
