About this deal

We are pretty impressed with how HP has been able to make this sort of monitor with only a bit of fat trimmed around the edges. We lose a bit of wide gamut here, a bit of performance there, we don't get a directional toggle for the OSD, and so on. But the basics are intact, like how we still get a height adjustable stand, and how the gaming experience still holds up well compared to other monitors we've tested with the same specs. This technology effectively eliminates all screen tearing and stuttering with minimal input lag penalty (1-2ms). FreeSync works without any issues when used with compatible NVIDIA cards, even though the monitor isn’t certified as G-SYNC compatible by NVIDIA. Maximum brightness is good, at a touch under 400 nits, which is what HP advertises. Most budget monitors of this class get around this bright, which is sufficient for indoor usage in most conditions. Minimum brightness is also solid at 43 nits, great for users in darker conditions.

The HP Omen X 27 1440p 240Hz gaming monitor has a fairly slim but sturdy design with ultra-thin bezels. It has a rather aggressive matte anti-glare screen coating, which some users may find too grainy, but it’s tolerable. As we continue to review the displays in this “X” HP lineup, we’re beginning to wonder why it doesn’t get the acclaim it deserves. This is despite both the Dell and HP models using an LG panel; it appears as though the X27q uses a slightly different variant or perhaps a worse bin of that product family. However, it is good to see the X27q outperforming the hideously expensive Razer Raptor 27, and the M27Q, but ideally an overdrive setting between Level 1 and Level 2 would have been able to provide a more balanced experience. Live in the flow of 165 Hz with a super fast 1ms response time[1] and keep your gameplay smooth-as-silk with AMD[2] FreeSync™ Premium[3]. A Display of Responsibility

Společnost HP není na trhu žádným nováčkem a produkty z této stáje jsou vhodné pro kancelářské, domácí i gamingové potřeby. Tentokrát zabrousíme do herního segmentu, a to s monitorem HP X27. Pojďme se podívat na to, jakou laťku HP nastavuje. S ikonkami, které reprezentují jednotlivé funkce, HP rozhodně nešetří. Platí tedy pravidlo, že čím víc samolepek, tím lépe?

Pivot rotation; Low blue light mode; Anti-glare; Height adjustable; AMD Freesync™ Premium; Gaming Console Compatible La calidad de imagen es buena, con una resolución Full HD que se adapta muy bien a sus dimensiones. Es rápido, panel IPS con 1ms GtG, 165Hz y AMD Freesync. Además cuenta con puerto DisplayPort y HDMI 2.0, por lo que la velocidad es muy buena para juegos de acción. Sus ángulos de visión son buenos y su colorimetría muy realista (99% de sRGB está muy bien). Su brillo es alto, superando a la media de la gama que suelen tener 250 nits. En el caso del HP X27 posee 400 nits. No obstante, al igual que le ocurre a otros paneles IPS, el contraste es mejorable.

As this monitor is not using VA technology, there are no dark level performance issues. It's common around this price point to see IPS displays going head to head with VA. But IPS typically delivers a superior response time experience, especially as it does not feature dark level smearing, a common issue with VA monitors. For that reason, in this price range I would always recommend IPS if you can find one, especially for gamers.

As we’ve said in earlier posts, the best screen size for this resolution is a 24-inch minimum; anything larger than that stretches the pixels a little, resulting in blurrier pictures.

Of course, if you only use one of those displays, the difference during use will be minimal, but if you compare both, the motion blur of the HP x27c during the use of MPRT will be much more visible. HP doesn't include an sRGB mode with this display, and there are only a few other color controls, so overall the only major adjustment you can make is to the white balance. This can improve grayscale performance, but we end up shy of accurate results. However, don’t expect the IPS or VA levels of color and contrast quality due to the monitor’s specified wide color gamut, HDR support, and local dimming features. Very simple stand setup, normal bezels on three sides and a bit of a chin along the bottom edge. In going with something so basic, HP haven't ended up including any "gamer" design elements like RGB lighting or weird patterns, which is an approach we like. However, it definitely looks and feels like a monitor on the cheaper end of the scale. Unlike some of its competitors, it also includes a regular RGB subpixel layout, so text clarity is crystal clear.

These IPS (XG27AQM) and curved VA (Samsung C27G7) 1440p 240Hz monitors offer just as fast response time, but with better image quality for the same price. Dell P2422H Review | A Worth It Casual Screen? Our Conclusion The Dell P2422H is a great find if you can get it for under ... Out of the box, greyscale performance is average. The X27q ended up a bit too warm, and the gamma was too high, making some shades darker than they should be. This caused weak deltaE performance.LG 32UN880-B Review | Is It The Best 32" Ergo Monitor? Our Conclusion The LG 32UN880-B doesn't have any unique features for its steep price ... When compared to the standard GTG, the MPRT is preferable for competitive games. However, it does compromise a huge portion of the screen brightness, making the screen dimmer, and sometimes too much for normal use. So, unless you are really into competitive games and want the monitor to perform the best, I don’t recommend you keep this on.
