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

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!

It looks worse on camera but this monitor has some pretty bad glow when the monitor is dark. This can be mitigated by turning down the brightness but doesnt solve the issue. All IPS glow so i might go back to a TN monitor.

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 am not particularly impressed by the colors and it is not a very bright monitor. The picture does look good (I am used to just a 1080p monitor and the difference is noticeable) but with monitors you get what you pay for. Overall it is a nice size and clear image but if you are looking for something “vibrant” and “bright” you may need to look at monitors at least in the $300+ range.

I bought two of these monitors at $175 and they have been amazing so far. If you’re on the fence about making the leap from FHD to QHD, I am telling you take it. The quality feels so much better and the 165hz screen is so smooth. The only negative is that there are no speakers. Most gamers wear a headset though, so shouldn’t be much of an issue.

Fantastic entry level monitor for 1440p gaming. Bought from a review from @PCBuilderChannel on YouTube.

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.

Bought for my boyfriend. The graphics are amazing! He loves it!

As several reviews mention, at some HP decided to replace the highly lauded LG panel in this monitor with a cheaper BOE (a Chinese manufacturer) panel. Its hard to say exactly how much this degrades the quality of the panel but keep in mind that the initial wave of very positive reviews for this may not be as accurate as they were. So far it seems good enough considering I got it on sale. I had a dead pixel scare exactly on day after the 30 day return period ended but I think it was a false alarm. I also think I may have received a returned monitor though as it has some scuffs on it and the warranty was already activated 2 months before I even received it. Might have to look into what thats about. Just do your due diligence and if you can grab it on sale, it should hopefully serve well as a decent monitor considering its size, resolution, and refresh rate. Will update as time goes on if any issues pop up.

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.
