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

Got two of these for my first computer build in ten years! Beautiful picture quality, and not a bad looking monitor either. Took a star off because these dummies didnt include a power cable for one of the monitors. Cost me an extra $8 and one less day of gaming... first world problems.

Cheap and very usefull

Do yourself a favor and wait until this goes on sale again for <$200. Anyone in the market for a 1440p monitor should seriously consider the X27q. People over on r/buildapcsales go absolutely gaga for this monitor whenever theres a flash sale. And for good reason, too. It has all the specs you want - 165hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and of course the budget friendly yet crystal clear 1440p resolution. No, you wont get HDR or any other bells and whistles, but for everyday use from streaming media content to gaming, the X27q is more than up to the task.

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.

Bought two of these to pair up with a 4070 Ti video card. They arent true HDR, but theyre nice.

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!

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.

Bought this to replace my LG G-sync certified monitor when it was clear (at the time) I was not going to get my hands on an RTX 30 Series card at an even remotely reasonable price anytime soon (yes this was months ago). Its picture quality may not be quite as good as the previous but it works as expected and came at an excellent price well below what I paid for the device it replaces. Fast forward, im still not buying an Nvidia card now after the money already spend on RX, so itll remain my daily driver for work, gaming and general browsing for the foreseeable future.

Excellent Value

Bought 2 to replace my current Full HD monitor when it was on Amazon lighting deal. Works great! It event has display port! One of the best purchase I made this year
