HP 27-Inch FreeSync Gaming Monitor 🖥️ 2560x1440p, 165Hz, Adjustable Tilt, Height, and Pivot, ‎2V7U3AA#ABA Review

Get an HP X27q during the second Treasure Truck Sale on July 13, 2022. As you can see in some of the reviews after July 13th, some have reported buying monitors with a BOE (BIM111) panel previously used instead of an LG (LIM101) panel. produced models that received many positive reviews. There are other reports of people getting a newer version of the LG panel (LIM111). It's a lottery at the moment. In my case I was lucky and received an old stock produced in August 2021 with a LG LIM101 panel…

The power button and all controls are on the back of the monitor, not even near the edge, so you can reach under or around them. As if someone intentionally placed them in the most inaccessible spot. It frustrates me that I can't just turn them off at night when I want to shut down or hibernate my computer. Otherwise they are fine. The tiny frames make them look very good side by side. They seem bright and crisp and while I'm happy I haven't played anything intense on them yet.

I love this monitor! It works so well and is the perfect size (it's even a bit big for me). I have no complaints and have had no problems with how it works. My only complaint is that it only has 1 HDMI port and 1 DisplayPort port. I have 2 devices using HDMI and no devices using Displayport. My workaround is that I have to switch the HDMI cable between the devices if I want to use them haha. I was aware of that when I bought the monitor, so I didn't deduct a star for it. There are no other…

Most FreeSync displays correctly drop to around 48 Hz for GPU-heavy scenes. However, this HP only drops to 60Hz, which means that FreeSync will not work correctly at the most common framerate: 60. You see, most games will "freeze" at around 60fps, but no game will be perfect. The frame rate can be lower or higher than 60 during the game. For this reason, any FreeSync/Variable Refresh display SHOULD allow frequencies below AND above 60Hz (the 48-75Hz range is common on cheap monitors). If the…

The HP X27q Gaming Monitor has already changed the game. Going from a 21-inch 1080p (FHD)/60Hz screen to a 27-inch 1440p (QHD)/165Hz screen is amazing. More pixels not only give me more real estate on the screen, but it's also a lot smoother. The IPS panel with HDR also makes this screen much brighter and renders colors more accurately. The overall look and feel of this monitor is premium, with ultra-slim bezels and good height and tilt adjustment options. The size and viewing angles allow you…

As mentioned in several reviews, some HP have opted to replace the vaunted LG panel in this monitor with a cheaper BOE (Chinese manufacturer) panel. It's hard to say how much this detracts from the quality of the panel, but be aware that the first wave of very positive reviews for it may not be as accurate as it was. I was worried about a dead pixel exactly one day after the 30 day return period was up, but I think it was a false alarm. I also think I may have received the returned monitor as…

I love this monitor! For $299 you really can't beat it. The HP X27Q looks great, performs great, and is affordable. It arrived with no dead pixels, no noticeable flare that I could see, and excellent color uniformity. So why only four stars? warranty practices. This monitor is guaranteed for one year BUT it starts on the date of actual manufacture, not the date of purchase. NOTE. You can email HP and change the warranty date to start from the date of purchase by showing them proof of purchase…

I bought this to replace my G-Sync certified LG monitor when it was clear (at the time) that I wouldn't be getting an RTX 30 series card anywhere near a reasonable price anytime soon (yes, that was a few months ago). Image quality may not be as good as the previous one, but it works as expected and is a great price well below what I paid for the device it replaces. Looking ahead, I'm still not buying an Nvidia card, having already spent the money on the RX, so it will remain my daily driver for

Bought on sale, great price. It has the same panel as Dell (pictured right). Very similar picture, but HP is a bit more neutral. Unlike the Dell monitor, the HP didn't need immediate calibration. I can't run it with the max refresh setting, there was a bit of halos. Lowering it to level 3 fixed it. Otherwise it's a smooth experience. The power button is in a terrible place. If you get it right by doing 2 or more of these, you might want to try something different. If the price drops again, I'll

This is a great screen out of the box. 165Hz, 1ms ensures smooth gameplay as long as your rig can play back these recordings. The product description doesn't mention Nvidia G-Sync compatibility, but I can confirm that it's compatible for tear-free operation. The included displayport cable is a bit finicky, it took me a while to figure out it was the cable. Using a good quality cable fixed issues where HDR was not detected and the monitor would sometimes not capture an image output when turned…

Bought as part of a Revain Truck deal and what a great deal. I came from a 34 inch ultra wide monitor with a 75Hz refresh rate and what is the difference. The monitor gets very bright when you want it to. I like the simple design and the low profile. Anti-reflective coating works perfectly. You need to make some adjustments to make the monitor work properly. Another disadvantage is the limited adjustment options via the stand. The only option is to telescope up or down. No tilt or rotation. But

So let's start by saying this is a great monitor. Fantastic monitor. Everything from saturated colors to increased frame rates is exactly what I was hoping for. Especially from a brand I'm 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 position! Just make sure you tilt the monitor out at the bottom to get enough clearance. In any case, as mentioned, this is a great monitor that will be a welcome…

Revain caused me a lot of trouble for not being able to replace the broken monitor they sent me. BOE panel. They only allowed returns. I was finally able to order a replacement after the return options suddenly changed in my account. This is an LG work board. Significant improvement so far and works well. Might be worth it if you're willing to take the risk, but it was a headache for over 2 weeks.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this monitor! For the price I expected a decent monitor but not the quality I got. First of all I would like to say that the packaging was of excellent quality. It wasn't difficult to open, but it was very secure. The instructions were easy to follow and setup was a breeze. It's very thin around the edges and looks very expensive on my desk. I've used it for both grad school programming classes and some games and I can say it's the best monitor I've ever had…

This is a very new 165Hz "gaming" monitor, so unfortunately there aren't many reviews about it, so I thought I'd write a few words about my experience with it. I've been using the HP X27q a few days ago and I'm really enjoying it so far. The screen is absolutely beautiful, and in my personal opinion, the 27-inch screen seems like a pretty good spot for the QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution that this monitor delivers. The height adjustment mechanism is also very smooth. It was very easy to set up and

I usually buy monitors from Dell, but this monitor was a hundred dollars less than the similar one from Dell (S2721DGF, which appears to have the same panel), the only obvious downside was the lack of a USB hub, so I bought two. Both screens arrived in perfect working order, with no visible backlight bleeding (surprisingly) and no dead pixels. I've been using the monitors for almost a week and so far haven't experienced any of the issues that sometimes come with cheaper monitors such as: B…

I bought this monitor to upgrade my gaming experience from 1080p to 1440p. I also switched from a TN panel to my 1080p monitor and was amazed at the difference in color (mainly contrast) from TN to IPS. My monitor has a BOE panel, not the touted LG panel they had when they first came out. I haven't had any issues with the BOE panel that others have had (I've had the monitor less than a month at the time of review). I did notice minimal backlight blurring, but I also dialed in the settings for…

I've been looking for a cheap monitor with a high refresh rate of 1440p for a long time. When this turned up on an Amazon treasure cart for $180 I caught it without a second thought and have no regrets. 1440p has a lot more space than 1080 and a 27 inch screen is the best place for that resolution in my opinion. And the high refresh rate is so smooth compared to standard 60Hz monitors. a well known brand like HP and this is the best 1440p budget monitor. Not to mention that it includes a nice…

I got this from Revain's last treasury truck deal. He had all the qualities I wanted. IPS/ 1440P/ 165Hz (I was happy with 144Hz, so that was a plus)/ Vesa/ Fast response time/ Gaming monitor without crazy design, perfect for work + Gaming setup/ HDR/ Gsync (not certified, but works) )/ and higher all an incredibly good price. I installed it alongside AOC cq27g2 which I've been using for about 1.5 years. It had no dead pixels and there was some IPS highlights but not too crazy and didn't affect…

I bought this during a treasure truck deal and it's an amazing monitor for the price. Gsync works great, colors are vibrant and 165Hz is no problem with the included cable. HDR is a bit weak and I wouldn't buy this monitor if you expect great HDR quality, but at this price point it's very hard to come by. . I also strongly recommend you download the ICC profile from techless youtube as the color accuracy is a bit off standard compared to my other monitor. After the ICC profile and a little…
