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

Cheap and very usefull

Would give it a 5 Star if the package didnt look like it got robbed from a Walmart. Monitor is overall probably the best you can get right now. 1440p, 165hz IPS for under 300$. Incredible. Monitor fits pretty good on my desk although its a little bit bigger than what Im used to.

Theyve made a silent downgrade for this monitor: its no longer using LG panels. They now use BOE, which is a cut-rate panel with much worse quality control. Ive got it for a song, but Im starting to think that Im getting what Ive paid for.

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.

works and looks nice

Excellent performance at this price point. It has very good picture and motion quality with just one significant ergonomic issue, the user controls are on the back. This makes setup and adjustments bothersome. This monitor also solved an odd issue, Prime Video not playing in HD on a 2 monitor system even though the old monitor is HDCP compliant.

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.

I switched from a 36 inch tv to this and Im so happy I did. Its perfect for gaming after you alter the monitors settings a bit. Highly recommend.

Got it from recent Amazon treasure truck deal. It had everything specs I wanted. IPS/ 1440P/ 165HZ(I was happy with 144hz so it was plus)/ Vesa/ Fast response time/ No crazy gaming monitor design which is perfect for work + gaming set up/ HDR/ Gsync (Not certified but it works)/ and above all crazy good price. I set it up right next to the AOC cq27g2 which I have been used about 1.5 year. It did not had dead pixel and there were bit of IPS light bleeding but not too crazy and was not impacting my gaming at all. No issues for QC. However It didnt really gave me better experience compare to AOC CQ27G2 which priced very similar to this HP X27Q. It had more like very similar color and clearness and gaming performance with AOCs VA panel. I hoped IPS gave be different feeling and experience than VA but I am not seeing much Upgrade. Also when I turn on HDR I also getting high pitch sound as other reviewers mentioned as Coil whine and HDR didnt make any difference watching movies/ videos. Look other if you really into HDR. For the price I am very very happy with HP X27Q. Recommend for entry level IPS gaming monitor.

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.
