Revainrating 5 out of 5

I overdid it a bit when I bought it. Super good monitor.

I have a monitor that outperforms my Mac mini. By the way, this is not a glossy monitor. That's why I got it. I'm not a gamer so don't ask about the performance. Videos (movies, etc.) look fine.

Contrary to some previous reviews, I have excellent image clarity thanks to the included USB-C connection to my Lenovo Carbon x1. Great update, will never squint at the small screen again.

Great monitor: my review

This is an excellent monitor. I use it with my Dell XPS13 9380. It shows, charges and connects 4 USB ports in one cable. It's fully adjustable. My only complaint is that I wish the adjustment points were a little tighter.

Good value for money

Thanks to HP for this option, there aren't many options on the market. This is a workhorse for those who type a lot of text. coding, spreadsheets, etc. While not like the LG 5K, it costs more than half and the build quality is really great! If you're into image/video editing or graphic design, the panel isn't bad, but by default none of the preset modes actually work, are too popular, or anything else just isn't "right" (compared to my previous entry-level Eizo or LG 5K). I'm considering…

So cute. good for me

I have a few of these side by side and the thin bezels make them really great. I use Photoshop elements with them and I just love them to death. Great monitor. Just great. Seriously, just give them your money. You will not regret it.

Great monitor: my review

A little difficult but worth it. The biggest draw was USB-C charging. My MacBook doesn't have many USB-C ports, so having a cable to charge and send data was a huge plus. The screen looks amazing. 4k resolution makes everything razor sharp.

Disconnects the USB-C to USB-C connection

I bought the Z27 monitor from the HP online store, not from Revain. I bought it because it has a USB-C port for data transfer and charging to use as an external display for my Lenovo X1 Cabron 6 Gen laptop with USB-C to USB-C. Unfortunately, the display turns off every few seconds and shows a message that there is no connection. I downloaded and installed the HP graphics driver and tried various USB-C to USB-C cables including Apple and Belkin. The Belkin cable is less likely to disconnect than

Distortion at the top of the screen after a year

I have owned this monitor for 18 months now. After about a year, the top left and right corners started glowing green, and now the entire top row of the monitor is starting to do the same. I don't know how it will turn out, but I'm disappointed that it started breaking so quickly.

Pixel error after one month

I bought it based on the rave reviews on thewirecutter.com. I'll be more careful next time. A month later, a dead pixel appeared. The USB-C cable is disconnected. Right now I just don't recognize my MacBook Pro. I've tried every cable I have. HDMI USB-C, USB-C to USB-C and standard USB to USB-C. None of them have been able to connect this expensive monitor to a MacBook.

Good color and display. You may have to play around with the default resolution to get the expected screen image. Colors and everything great.

The perfect all-round monitor

I use this HP Z27 monitor as a second display connected to my MacBook Pro. That works great. The picture is great, the stand is adjustable and very solid, and the USB-C connection, which charges my Macbook, is extremely convenient. No complaints - I am very happy with this purchase.

Bright and beautiful!

I am very happy that I chose this monitor. I saw this recommended on Wirecutter and have no complaints at all. It feels bright and the screen goes almost to the edge, which saves space compared to my previous 27-inch monitor. Haven't tried playing with it yet, but I'll have to see how it goes.

DO NOT BUY ON AMAZON - A FAKE PRODUCT

I bought one monitor from Revain and another directly from the manufacturer. The monitor from HP is clearly brighter and sharper to see. I believe Revain is selling either defective or counterfeit versions of this monitor. Don't fall for the tricks like me, shop elsewhere.

If it fails twice in two years, HP will not honor the warranty

It worked fine for a year, then the display broke. HP replaced it and it worked fine for another year. Then the USB-C interface failed. The unit is still under warranty but HP refused to replace it because they don't have a new serial number on their system. Cheap for a 4k USB-C monitor, but also poor quality and support. It's not worth it.

great screen, works great with my macbook

I bought this monitor primarily for work (and movie watching). As a software developer, I work from home twice a week and need a big screen. I would like to highlight a few things that weren't clear in the other reviews: 1. The USB Type-C port works great with my 13-inch MacBook Pro (2016 model, max configuration), I don't see any problems like not enough power or cable problems, it just works.2. It has 2 Type-C ports and 3 regular USB ports, but only one Type-C port (the one on the bottom)…

Great monitor for professionals

I stumbled across this while reading a rare review and I'm glad I did. The construction is solid, it looks very high quality and the picture is clear and accurate right out of the box. I use it with my 2015 MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt to Display Port at 4K and 60Hz. I also bought the required cable from Revain. Update: As of writing this, I've upgraded to a 2017 15" MacBook Pro and am now connecting using a USB-C cable from HP vendors. No questions. Everything works as expected. Now the…
