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

I read all the reviews and became scared of the panel lottery, but the price was just too tempting. And all this BOE fearmongering turned out to be nonsense. I think youre going to be subjected to panel lottery in general (not just BOE vs LG) and this will be your primary concern. For me, I got an absolutely immaculate BOE. Zero light bleed. Colors look great, a feast for my eyes. Very happy with my supposedly inferior panel. The only scenario where I could see this even being a small problem is if you plan to buy multiple X27qs. In that setup, ideally all your panels would be identical... but even then, these specs at this price point? Still compelling even with that caveat. Another huge bonus for me personally is the stand. It has a small footprint yet is very sturdy and has TONS of adjustment. Most cheaper monitors will cut corners on the stands, and I cannot understate how awesome it is to have the option for portrait mode and height/tilt adjustment out-of-the-box. Again, mind blowing at this price point. I primarily play a lot of fast-paced, flick-shot arena FPS on mouse and would notice any sort of delay or ghosting instantly - there isnt any. I dont own testing equipment to measure exact color accuracy and response time, but I am particular about image quality/delay and have daily-driven more displays than I can count, including 4k and 300hz displays. After 2 months of daily use, I can assure you that this thing punches WAY above its price range - assuming you dont get a dud. But that applies to pretty much any display you may be considering buying.

I got this from the Treasure Truck deal. Under $190 shipped for a 165Hz 1440p IPS monitor. The first one I got from this deal had a defect in the top right corner of the panel that was only visible from certain angles. Seemed to be a deformity in the panel itself. I returned it for another one which is perfect. Its an excellent monitor that I was lucky enough to snag for under $190 all said and done. As with any other monitor HDR 400 is kind of a joke and looks worse than standard range. Leave it disabled. Had no problems running it at 165Hz over the included Display Port cable. AMD Freesync Premium was enabled by default. The colors are not the best out of the box, but are easily corrected with the OSD. Theres a couple of presets which are okay, but I prefer the custom RGB option to set to my liking. You can also use custom color profiles as well. The backlight is bright. This one has no issues with deformities or light bleed. It looks great. Slight color banding even after calibrating, but not worth trying to return again. No dead or stuck pixels. No flickering issues. I missed it the first time it was a Treasure Truck deal, but got lucky and snagged it the second time. If it comes back up again I will certainly get another one and you should too. For that price you really cant beat it.

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!

The monitor itself is fine, the included DisplayPort cable was not working however, and it took considerable time to figure it out, it was quite a headache. The idea of packing everything back and bringing the large box back to Amazon was not too attractive, had to buy another cable by myself.

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.

Monitor is wonderful and great price for the quality. Easy to assemble and NO tools required. The brightness is a bit too much for me as a gamer, but other than that, amazing quality and packaged safely.

I did a lot of research before I came to the conclusion of buying this monitor. This monitor has Minimal ghosting Good colors HDR (not great) Adjustable stand, vesa mount Sleek non gamer design So yeah I have no complaints about this thing, super good value, most comparable monitors will be a bit more expensive and may have compromises For anyone that’s going to use this monitor, I recommend setting MPRT to 1 and response time to 2 for the best brightness and latency

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.

It was time to upgrade from my 24 inch AOC. I was looking for something around $200 that was bigger and more fit for gaming since I have start playing more. Id say this monitor is perfect for everything! Flat monitors tend to have better quality displays 27 inches is perfect for just about anything, work, gaming, movies Refresh rate of 165Hz is awesome, I definitely notice the difference with gaming Color and brightness are awesome, works perfectly for work (design work) I dont normally order stuff that doesnt have Prime delivery but after searching around, this was the best choice. I highly reccommend!

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.
