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

product arrived without any imperfections, no dead pixels, and thankfully I got the version with an LG panel, not the lower quality one that i think its a chinese brand called obe or obo or whatever. Im so happy with this monitor!

Excellent Value

Its a very fast monitor. No ghosting. The problem is that I guess I got unlucky and got a panel with a depressing amount of glow. 80 percent of the screen constantly glows. Pretty bad. Its not a deal breaker for me though, and everything else is solid.

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.

I bought this on sale with pretty high hopes, due to the largely very positive reviews. Im mostly satisfied with it for the price I paid. -Colors are vibrant and overall pretty good, despite not using the nano-ips backlight like some other monitors that contain the same LG panel within. -I like the looks of it; simple, somewhat classy/elegant and understated (not a flamboyant gaming monitor look. -No dead pixels -Performs well when playing games Two things preventing me from giving it 5 stars: -Some bothersome IPS glow, much more prominent on one side than the other. Backlight bleed from edges was quite minimal and perfectly acceptable, but the glow on black screens is very bothersome during loading screens or very dark scenes. I dont game on PC much and never watch movies on the computer, so I decided not to return. -The blue light reduction coating is something I dont like. Yes, you can apply ICC profiles (which I did) and tune the color a bit from there, but I felt like I could only get it a tad too warm, and a tad too cool, and couldnt achieve truly neutral whites I wanted. Its close enough for me I guess, so again, I didnt return. It sounds like I just got a less than stellar draw in the panel lottery, so I wouldnt let that dissuade you. Its an okay monitor for the price, but I think Ill definitely try something else when Im ready for a second 27 to replace my ancient 22 for a dual setup.

Excelente monitor.

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!

What I didnt like : image ghosting and saturation spikes when moving camera view quickly when gaming at the highest response time (level 4), image tearing when moving camera view quickly when gaming at lower response times (level 1) What I liked : easy setup and installation, sturdy stand with full rotation and tilt options, good color accurate panel with high refresh rate and great OSD troubleshooting features

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.

Really like it. The price is good.
