    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.

    ive had the same 60hz asus ips since 2013, its been my main monitor for ever. it was such a good monitor and non i ever seen in person seemed better. BUT this hp monitor BLOWS this thing out of the water. the white are truly white, the blacks are truly black, the greys look grey. the colors are popping! i got this monitor for 150 on sale and my god i wish i bought 2 now. the base mount is really good and slides up and down smooth as butter. i did notice that with my 1660 ti having it at 165hz uses my gpu and makes the heat rise. but if i have it set to 144hz which is more around the gpu can handle then it works fine. so if you dont have a good mid range or high end card it will still do you justice just lower the refresh rate like i did. this and nvidias digital vibrance is freaking insane. im so happy with this monitor

    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.

    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.

    Bought this monitor for my daughter for casual 1440p gaming on Black Friday for $170. It’s a great deal! Overall I’d say it’s on par with my 27” Dell 2721DGF 165hz. Good: 1. HP’s color is vivid and rich. Image quality is better than Dell. 2. So far no IPS glow or corner bleeding. And no bad pixel. 3. Low latency and actual gaming response time seems good. Not feeling any slower than Dell. However, fast moving object (fps game) is not as clear as Dell. 4. Thin bezel - excellent for dual monitor setup. 5. Incredible value for an IPS panel at this price. Bad: 1. Build quality is average. The plastic bezel is not really straight if you look closely. The back panel is also cheap and flimsy. 2. Only one HDMI and one display port. No usb or usbc port And the display port comes with the monitor is short. 3. Power socket is slightly loose. I need to really push the cable connector all the way in to get power. 4. Does not work well with AMD image sharpening. Looks really bad even with 10% sharpening setting. 5. Free sync is not consistent. Experienced some stuttering from time to time. Never has this issue with Dell. I don’t use free sync often so not a big deal to me.

    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!

    Purchased the monitor at a great discount due to being a 2021 model. Very happy with purchase. Now the true test is beginning ... how long will it function like new?

    This is a good monitor and especially at the current price point and will definitely work for some but I received the BOE panel twice in a row and even after being reassured by Amazon customer service that I will get the LG one after the initial return, my second monitor was also the BOE variation of the panel. It really sucks that they would put out a product that is basically a gamble and a ton of wasted time and money (in my case at least). I tested it and the colors on it look horrendous. I installed a ICC profile that shouldve fixed the color issue and played around with OSD settings a lot as well as followed instructions by youtubers and others on the internet but could not make the screen look any better. I have to say thou, if you are going to exclusively use this for gaming, it might be worth the shot because I played a few matches of PUBG on it and it looked quite good with the 1444p resolution and high refresh rate. Its hard to say no for this price but I am returning it for the second time and will be getting a mid-range priced monitor to avoid any more headaches. This probably used to be a great monitor back in the day when more LG panels were available but HP decide to cut corners and started making a lot more with the BOE panel apparently, its hard to get the LG panel nowadays it seems.

    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.

All play, every day. We"ve redefined high definition gaming with IPS technology, 165Hz, 1ms response, AMD FreeSync™ Premium, and more colors than ever before.
