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

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

Bought this at 209.99. Best price to performance and specs as you will get from a well-known brand. 1440p 165hz, I dare anyone to find a better price. Not talking about those cheap chinese Alibaba brands. I can have those made and sell them myself with minimal effort.

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.

works and looks nice

Purchased as an Amazon Truck deal and what a great deal. I was coming from a 34” ultrawide monitor with 75hz refresh rate and what a difference. The monitor gets really bright if that’s what you prefer. I like the simple design and low profile look. Anti-glare coating works ok. You will have to tweak some settings to get the monitor to perform ideally. Another negative is the limited adjustments with the stand. Only option is telescoping up or down. No tilting or rotating. But I plan on using an monitor arm anyway so not a big deal for me. It does come with a 6ft DP cable, which you’ll need to get the full 165hz refresh rate. Is it worth full price? Hard to say without another monitor to compare it to. But not sure you’ll find many other 27” 4K 1440p QHD 165hz monitors at this price point. But I think it’s definitely worth the $180 (before taxes) I got it for.

So, to start off with, this is a great monitor. A fantastic monitor. Everything from the rich colors to the increased frame rate is exactly what I had hoped for. Especially coming from a brand that I am very familiar with (I had a similar model but very early on, maybe 2011?). And, just like my previous monitor, this one rotates to a vertical display! Just make sure you tilt the monitor outward at the bottom in order to ensure you have enough clearance. Anyway, as mentioned, its a great monitor and would be a welcome addition to anyone looking to expand their desktop for work, or a gamer looking to enhance their gaming experience. Assembly of this item was also incredibly easy.. you literally open the box, remove the cardboard and snap the arm of the base into the back of the monitor. Et Voila! I do have a few issues with this monitor though.. - The cable thats included with it... it only provided a Display Port cable and unfortunately my laptop does not have one of those. I obviously had extra HDMI cables but I would have expected one to be included, especially at the $200+ price range. - the connection on the monitor for the Display Port is very tight and leaves little room for actually removing the Display Port cable once attached. A better design would have been to maybe put the push-release for the display port cable on the sides, instead of on top of the cable. - There is no auto-adjust display when rotating the monitor to vertical display. This might be something that I adjust on my display settings, but my last HP monitor that rotated would automatically change the display to vertical. This monitor works and looks great and none of these issues are deal breakers by any means. It just simply means I cant give it a 5-star review.

Zero complaints. Adjustable stand works, stand footprint isnt too big. Great picture quality, refresh rate, and latency for $210 dollars. At the price I bought it at it was an absolute steal. If anyone is looking for a 1440p monitor at a great price that checks all the boxes this is my #1 recommendation.

This should be used for a computer. I bought this for my ps5 but this has a 2.0 HDMI port, so I cant use VRR.

Great monitor! No backlight bleeding like the other, more expensive monitors I bought and had to return. If you are look for the best value monitor that checks all the boxes, this is it.
