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

Upgraded to this from my samsung 27” curved monitor and it was worth it after playing around with the settings I was able to get the the picture to where i liked it. The monitor stand itself has the slightest horizontal tilt to it which bugs me a little bit when im not locked in while gaming but its worth the pick up if its on sale and you need a new monitor.

Used opportunity for price drop and ordered. The quality as expected and child happy with gaming on it. The quality vs price-very good choice.

Firstly, theres lots of discussion (for years) about this product having two variants. One has a panel made by LG and one BOE. Both are fine but are EXTREMELY small details. For the normal person it doesnt matter, but in sum, LG panel is better for office stuff and the BOE is better for games. It is a very very small difference and theres lots of testing to find on Google. I have the LG one. Good: colors out of the box are good, quality feeling stand, and vesa Bad: The stand somehow glides despite the 17kg monitor its holding, buttons are old, monitor itself is kinda cheap feeling/looking, you can only rotate the monitor one way, and you cant use the fastest response time without experiencing ghosting, and there is coil whine if you use HDR, but the HDR actually sucks as brightness doesnt go up, and local dimming is non-existent so black color on screen while youre in a dark zoom look eh. For 100-200 this is nearly perfect though. For that price range. Obviously more expensive stuff will close this out of the water. Just 100$ more can go a long way.

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!

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

I got this from the Treasure Truck deal. Under $190 shipped for a 165Hz 1440p IPS monitor. The first one I got from this deal had a defect in the top right corner of the panel that was only visible from certain angles. Seemed to be a deformity in the panel itself. I returned it for another one which is perfect. Its an excellent monitor that I was lucky enough to snag for under $190 all said and done. As with any other monitor HDR 400 is kind of a joke and looks worse than standard range. Leave it disabled. Had no problems running it at 165Hz over the included Display Port cable. AMD Freesync Premium was enabled by default. The colors are not the best out of the box, but are easily corrected with the OSD. Theres a couple of presets which are okay, but I prefer the custom RGB option to set to my liking. You can also use custom color profiles as well. The backlight is bright. This one has no issues with deformities or light bleed. It looks great. Slight color banding even after calibrating, but not worth trying to return again. No dead or stuck pixels. No flickering issues. I missed it the first time it was a Treasure Truck deal, but got lucky and snagged it the second time. If it comes back up again I will certainly get another one and you should too. For that price you really cant beat it.

This monitor does what it’s advertised to do well. When plugged into a PC/laptop as external display, it runs games great at 1440p & 144hz (up to 165hz display port). It also runs certain PS5 games that have 120hz support at 1440p very nicely. The biggest drawback I have found is that console games capped 60fps are a hit or miss on this monitor. This monitor does not do 60hz well for some reason. Obviously 60hz is not its intended function, but many of the older PS4 games, like older CoD titles (which run at 60hz), look terrible on this monitor. There’s ghosting, screen tearing, and input lag, even with the response time set to Level 1 in the monitor’s OS, the lowest value. Even Battlefield 2042, which is a next gen game meant to run at 60hz has ghosting and a slight input lag with this monitor. It’s not a true, smooth 60fps. This wasn’t an issue with the generic 24” 60hz flatscreen I used to play my PS5 on, for PS4 or PS5 games running at 60hz. So if you’re a PS5 owner looking for a “do it all” monitor for your next and last gen titles, you may be disappointed to see your last gen titles don’t run as well as before. Overall, still a good buy and a no brainer for PC users looking for a budget gaming monitor, or next gen console gamers.

Probably the best 1440p monitor you can get for the price. Comes with DP cable (No HDMI). Colors look great and I haven’t had any issues with dead pixels or backlight bleeding. Definitely should go with this if you’re balling on a budget.

Picked this up to replace my 2nd monitor that was going bad. Honestly, for this price point, its a great monitor. If my primary wasnt an insane 49 Samsung ultrawide, Id definitely consider getting another and running a pair of then as my primary screens.

For the price I paid of roughly 150 dollars you cant do better.
