HP 27-inch LED Backlit Monitor - 2560x1440p, 75Hz, K7C09A8#ABA Review

After experiencing some intermittent graphics glitches that were fixed by restarting the monitor, it died out completely after just six months. I called customer service and after waiting an hour to be routed to the correct department, I was told that a replacement would be dispatched via customer service promptly the next day. I was very happy at that moment because it meant I would only be out for a day, what great customer service! Unfortunately, shortly after, I received an email…

Compatible with Microsoft Surface Pro 3 laptop. Same bit density, just wider. The Surface Pro 3 outputs extra bits to a wider monitor, so the aspect ratio is preserved. Set the screen resolution to "Use only display 2" in the settings. The colors are great without any adjustments. I don't care about the monitor audio as I use headphones for private listening and a stereo for group listening. The only thing that came with the monitor was a floppy disk with drivers and instructions. The Surface…

The stand is great and easy to set up. I love the screen size, but I'm a designer and I constantly need to check the colors on my MacBook Pro.

I just received my monitor and unpacked it. Absolutely amazing monitor. I did a lot of searching and was faced with a choice between this and a 34" Dell curved monitor like the one I have at work (albeit a bit more expensive); This is an excellent monitor. Super sharp, colors are fantastic. Connect USB-C to DisplayPort cable from 2017 13" MacBook Pro Touchbar. Flawless (after switching from standard HDMI input :-)).

Large. Love it. The best monitor I've ever had. The only drawback is the USB hub. Only one port supports devices that require more power. None of my 480GB 2.5" SSDs work properly with a USB hub unless I use the single fast charge port. A regular computer port should support these drives, but these 3 other ports do not. I have checked this multiple times. with several different cables. It's a shame if it weren't for this shortcoming, it would be a perfect product. Of course, a monitor could…

I bought this monitor on Wirecutter's recommendation and I love it. It's very sharp and clear, the colors are good and the frame and stand design looks fantastic. I wanted a monitor with the thinnest bezels possible and this fits me and looks great too. The only downside is that from an extreme viewing angle behind the panel, you can actually see the edge of the backlight at the very edge. The colors themselves hold up at angles too, so I'm happy with that. I bought it mainly for Photoshop and…

Great general purpose display. I use this for web browsing, document editing, CAD and some gaming. He does all of these pretty well, although he's not the best at any of them. IPS glow is minimal, at least when viewed directly. The stand is strong with lots of adjustments and the whole package is very heavy, doesn't wobble at all even when I'm typing the keyboard. If you're running two monitors I'd go with the 25-inch, but if you only have room for one it's a fantastic choice.

This monitor had what I needed - 4 inputs to share with 4 computers. In addition, the image is bright and clear with excellent color accuracy. The on-screen controls are easy to use and intuitive. The only downside for me is that the USB output ports are on the bottom of the monitor instead of the left side, but I now use a separately powered USB hub so the USB configuration doesn't matter anymore.

This monitor proved to be the perfect complement to my work laptop; excellent resolution, bright and at an ergonomically correct height. I highly recommend!

Really good color calibration out of the box. It didn't take much fiddling with the color/brightness settings to get the exact color. Low latency is ideal for gaming. The location of the USB ports behind/below the monitor makes them difficult to access, but it's a minor issue at best for a monitor with amazing color and contrast.

I'm a programmer and have two of these screens at work (my employer buys them in bulk). The design of the screen and base feels plasticky and not very pretty, and the ports are hard to reach. Also, it's very difficult to read text in full resolution, and when I try to increase the text size, I just get the same as enlarged 1920x1080 - a complete waste. Right now I'm looking for a home screen and don't think I'll buy HP. I hope my employer didn't pay that price.

Great screen and picture! If you want to connect something to the monitor, be prepared to stand upside down and use a flashlight! Almost impossible with a stand in the way. I think 3.5 stars would be correct just for the inconvenience!

This display washes out and discolors quickly if you take your head off it to avoid staring directly at it. When the screen is mostly black or completely black, you can see the backlight painting over and brightening the 4 corners, but not the middle. , so the brightness on the screen is quite uneven. I paid $500 for this monitor and $500 for a 50 inch LG TV in 2013 and the TV has none of these issues. It's not high quality for a $500 monitor and I wouldn't buy it again.

Bought rebuilt from Revain for $150. Received in two days. That outer frame around the screen is nice and thin, so it takes up less space than my other monitor of the same size. This one has great features too.

The photos and descriptions in this listing are of the Z27n. The model I received is z27n G2. They are not the same. G2 IS NOT FACTORY CALIBRATED. The original Z27n is. This is of great importance and mandatory for applications that require correct color rendering. The G2 also changes the control buttons and panel layout to a more cumbersome and uncomfortable configuration. The only benefit of this model is that the bezel is a little thinner, but that's offset by the offset base stem, which…

Just unpacked that. No power cord. Revain was great and processed the return with no issues. Now I will try the Dell monitor.

This is a wonderful technique! Using it with my 2013 Macbook Pro worked great. I was able to use the mini display port to display port cable to connect it to my macbook. The resolution is excellent - sharp and clear. While I like iMacs, I appreciate that this screen is matte rather than glossy. The stand is very stable and the height adjustment is a great feature. A bit pricey but worth it for the color calibration and the many ports included.

I've always been a fan of high-end Dell monitors, but after doing a lot of research on 27-inch monitors, I settled on this one. I only used it for a few days but quickly concluded that I had made the right decision. The monitor is really exceptional and I would buy one again at any time. Colors are vibrant and text is crisp. For this home pro, this is perfect. It was cheaper than the comparable Dell. I just hope it lasts as long as my Dells.

There's a good reason this monitor has such good reviews - a great picture, all the connections you need, and a picture to put even the sunniest room to shame. The stand is great and allows for good up and down adjustment in landscape mode. The portrait feature is the icing on the cake for me, but may be the deciding factor for some. My only complaint is the HUD. While I know I'll have to press the physical buttons, I can't help but try to use the onscreen icons above it like a touchscreen. :)…
