About this deal

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. The response time speed is top-notch as well; you won’t encounter any prominent ghosting or trailing behind fast-moving objects. In accordance with the Microsoft Silicon Support Policy, HP does not support or provide drivers for Windows 8 or Windows 7 on products configured with Intel or AMD 7th generation and forward processor Remember how I mentioned the curved version of this monitor had superior gaming features? Even with that, both have a similar response time. But, while this one can achieve 1ms GTG, the HP x27c can reach 1ms with MPRT.

Power consumption is low, this is a non issue for the display as it appears to use an efficient panel that holds up well compared to other models. Power prices are rising, but 23W of usage at 200 nits is very acceptable by today's standards.

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?

Of course, as with every manufacturer’s portfolio, there are a few unworthy models here and there, but in this instance, the decent monitors easily compensate for the duds. The first one I can’t suggest from this line is the HP X32c, which I explain why in my review of its non-curved variant.

Often in this price category we see extremely limited tilt-only stands, but HP is including something basic and usable with the X27q. Display Performance 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.

Play longer, comfier, and with amazing accuracy on our suite of sweet gaming monitors. We've redefined high definition gaming with IPS Panel Technology, 165Hz, 1ms response time[1], AMD[2] FreeSync™ Premium[3], and more colors than ever before. Game in comfort 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.

As soon as you move and look at the screen from the sides or from below/above, the picture quality degrades. This isn’t a problem if you’re sitting directly in front of the screen, but it’s something you should have in mind. There are four response time overdrive modes: Normal, Fast, Faster, Fastest. We recommend using either ‘Fast’ or ‘Faster,’ as ‘Fastest’ introduces a lot of pixel overshoot. The only other 1440p 240Hz TN monitor currently available (not yet in the US) is the Lenovo Legion Y27GQ-25. As a result, this monitor won’t appeal that much to those who want the gaming features to be resembled in the monitor’s design, with a lot of eye-catchy details, since this one leans towards a more down-to-earth style.To top it off, this display wouldn’t be complete without a solid tearing-reduction function, which the AMD FreeSync Premium provided. The premium version of FreeSync has a wider operating range, which means you’ll get even better results with tear-free visuals and better smoothness. The HP Omen X 27 was the first 1440p 240Hz model available. When it was released, there were no IPS and VA alternatives. Nowadays, you can find an IPS or VA model with just as good performance and better image quality for the same price, thus making the Omen X 27 obsolete. Specifications Screen Size The HP Omen X 27 supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, which provides a variable refresh rate (VRR) within the 48-240Hz/FPS (Frames Per Second) range for compatible graphics cards. What we're left with is the monitor being unable to provide a single overdrive mode experience. This is pretty typical for a budget monitor, we don't expect perfect overdrive optimization here, it's a standard area of compromise as integrating features like variable overdrive would increase the cost. 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.
