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

The buttons on the back are not in a good spot. The Monitor flickers in and out of display at times, however this could be an isolated incident. These things put off VERY high EMF RF frequency. Recommend 2ft away. The picture quality is top notch, I have a 4k Benq 27 monitor and these look better at 2k side by side, the color difference (for the better) is what stands out the most. A Competitive gaming edge is VERY noticeable with online shooters like, Halo, COD, Overwatch. I have a 32 and 27 If you want a gaming monitor, This is the best you can get for under $150.00. The next best is the Samsung G7 for 500.00. @4k and 120hz You can stop researching what to buy as this is one of the 2 options.

I did my research, and this monitor is truly worth the price (i bought it for $234, including taxes). With this monitor at this price, it makes no sense to buy a secondhand monitor (which is what I was planning to do initially). Great colors. Great looks. The refresh rate is amazing. Its an IPS panel which is better than TN panels. The 1440p resolution makes things look insanely good. I am very happy with my purchase, but if that changes anytime soon, I will change my review. So far, I have had this monitor for a month and have 0 complaints.

Lets go straight to the point. Pros: -165Hz (Display Cable only). -Good picture quality. - Good color Vivid. -1440p resolution. -27inch is prefect size for gaming. Con: - Colours out of the box is not great. You need to change or customize it to get the best out of it. -Everytime you touch the HDMI or display cable it turns off the screen and it comes back up again. -Theres a little dull color area in the right side of the monitor. its very small and you dont really notice it when you are watching movies and playing games. -Also I one dead pixel (Not too bad)

I bought this during the treasure truck deal and it’s an amazing monitor for the price. Gsync works great, colors are vibrant, and it gets 165hz no problem with the supplied cable. Hdr is a bit weak and I would not purchase this monitor if you’re expecting a great hdr experience but that’s very hard to get at this price point. I would also highly recommend you download the icc profile from techless youtube as the color accuracy is a bit off right out the box when compared to my other monitor. After icc profile and slight manual adjustment it’s extremely accurate and colors are fantastic. Watch techless video on YouTube and he’ll walk you through the color adjustment and provide the icc profile link. Ips glow was minimal on my panel which was surprising and using that icc profile also helped with the blacks looking more black than gray. Button location is a bit awkward so it’s best to set this monitor up before mounting it to a specific location. Also it force downloads some hp omen program when first installing the monitor I would recommend you uninstall it after final set up. Response time is decent but you are completely unable to use it after level 2 the overshoot is extremely noticeable and looks terrible level 2 was the sweet spot for me, 3 is “doable” but I would only recommend it for fast paced games you really don’t care about graphics at all. Lastly be aware that hp began shipping these with BOE panels (BIMM111), I was lucky to get the Lg (LIMM111 or LIMM 101) I have heard of qc issues with the boe panels so make sure to test your monitor thoroughly before the return period. You can find this part number on the box or by holding power and menu buttons on the monitor while starting up. Again great monitor and would highly recommend it at the $170 price point if it fits your needs. Don’t expect good hdr you will be disappointed.

I personally love this monitor. I dont really have much to say. Pros: - Affordable. Can get it on sale for a steal. - Decent color accuracy out of box. - Brightness is pretty decent. - Comes with both HDMI and DisplayPort cables out of the box. Which is uncommon in my experience. Cons: - No USB hub. - This monitor has a display lottery. You may get one of two types of panels. People online argue a lot about which one is better, but realistically both will suit the needs of most buyers. However, if youre very picky (or rely a lot on reviews) its iffy on whether or not itll apply to your purchase, since most reviews are only based on one panel type or the other. All panels are still IPS, still 1440p, still 165hz. the difference is mostly color accuracy and color grading. Look into it if that concerns you, otherwise I can pretty much assure you that the experience will be solid.

Monitor is wonderful and great price for the quality. Easy to assemble and NO tools required. The brightness is a bit too much for me as a gamer, but other than that, amazing quality and packaged safely.

Purchased the legendary treasure truck deal, monitor came quick. Was unfortunate to learn the one I received came with the cheaper BOE panel that HP swapped into these bad boys to save money. There is an odd green tint on the screen I cant seem to remove with any settings. But for a second or third monitor this thing does the job.

Bought this to replace my LG G-sync certified monitor when it was clear (at the time) I was not going to get my hands on an RTX 30 Series card at an even remotely reasonable price anytime soon (yes this was months ago). Its picture quality may not be quite as good as the previous but it works as expected and came at an excellent price well below what I paid for the device it replaces. Fast forward, im still not buying an Nvidia card now after the money already spend on RX, so itll remain my daily driver for work, gaming and general browsing for the foreseeable future.

Been playing on a 43 ultra wide. Ordered three of these on a black Friday sale to try triple setup. These are amazing panels. Buttons on the back are a pain but Ill deal for the price and picture quality.

I did a lot of research before I came to the conclusion of buying this monitor. This monitor has Minimal ghosting Good colors HDR (not great) Adjustable stand, vesa mount Sleek non gamer design So yeah I have no complaints about this thing, super good value, most comparable monitors will be a bit more expensive and may have compromises For anyone that’s going to use this monitor, I recommend setting MPRT to 1 and response time to 2 for the best brightness and latency
