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

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.

It’s been a while since I last upgraded my monitor, an upgrade I thought was not as worthwhile as say a whole new computer, or a shiny new keyboard. It appears I was wrong to underestimate the power of a monitor upgrade. One of the main features of the HP Monitorx27q is that it reduces blue light, allowing one to partake in long sessions of gaming, online shopping or essay typing without the eye strain that other monitor screens may give you. Previously, I would have to wear Anti Blue Light glasses if I wanted to sit at the screen for more than 30 minutes without bringing discomfort upon my eyeballs. Now, I haven’t worn those glasses once, not even during a long, Saturday night gaming marathon. My eyes have sung many songs of joy, being free of the restraints of blue light. As for general quality of life improvements I experienced: 1. Adjustable height and angle, rather than just the angle 2. Button placement in vertical order on the backside, rather than having to fumble around on the underside looking for the right button 3. Large screen for greater immersion 4. Just looks nicer visually, both the monitor itself and whatever it’s displaying.

I love this monitor! For $299 you really cant beat it. The HP X27Q looks great, performs great, and is cheap. It arrived with no dead pixels, no noticable light bleed that I could see, and great color uniformity. So why only four stars? The warranty practices... This monitor comes with a one year warranty, BUT it starts from the day it was actually manufactured, not the day you buy it. NOTE: You can email HP and get the warranty dates changed to start from your date of purchase by providing them proof of when it was purchased, but I feel like this shouldnt be necessary, it should just be automatic that the warranty starts from your date of purchase. Thats why I knocked off a star.

Been playing on a 43 ultra wide. Ordered three of these on a black Friday sale to try triple setup. These are amazing panels. Buttons on the back are a pain but Ill deal for the price and picture quality.

Probably the best 1440p monitor you can get for the price. Comes with DP cable (No HDMI). Colors look great and I haven’t had any issues with dead pixels or backlight bleeding. Definitely should go with this if you’re balling on a budget.

I recently ordered January 21, received January 24. I got an LG panel, very happy with that over the BOE panel! The picture quality is miles better than 1080p, and the refresh rate is top notch. Cant compare this to other 1440p monitors, but I am highly satisfied. With some calibration, 10/10

Purchased the monitor at a great discount due to being a 2021 model. Very happy with purchase. Now the true test is beginning ... how long will it function like new?

As a remotely worker I have the best experience with this screen so far! I love it’s quality and look.

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.
