HP X27 Gaming Monitor, 165Hz, IPS, Full HD (1920 x 1080), 27 Inch, 1ms response time, AMD Freesync Premium, Height and tilt adjust stand, (1 HDMI, 1 DP) - Black

Product Information

Su diseño continua las líneas generales de la marca, con márgenes reducidos (que mejoran la experiencia e inmersión) y con un soporte central que permite pivotar. Es compatible con VESA 100×100, por lo que puede colgarse en la pared para ahorrar espacio en el escritorio. La pantalla cuenta con todo lo mínimo necesario para cuidar de la vista: panel antireflectante y con tecnología antiparpadero, altura ajustable y modo Low Blue Tone (modo para mitigar la fatiga ocular).

Ergonomics include height adjustment up to 130mm, tilt by -3°/23°, and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility via the provided adapter. You cannot swivel or pivot the screen. It's also not that different from products like the Pixio PX277 Pro, given the differences in inverse ghosting performance. Another product we often recommend is the Gigabyte M27Q, and the HP X27q we feel delivers the better experience. Immerse yourself in even more colors and catch all the action with ultra-wide viewing angles of an IPS display in Full HD (1920 x 1080)[4]. Smooth Moves 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 Useful gaming features include customizable crosshair overlays, an FPS counter, pre-calibrated picture presets (Gaming, Movie, Low Blue Light, etc.), and customizable RGB lighting.Returning to this model, it has a refresh rate of up to 165hz, making things much more fluid. You’ll have a nice smooth experience with this feature, whether you’re playing games or using it in everyday usage. I’m not sure whether it has anything to do with the fact that I was previously using a monitor with a higher PPI, but one thing is certain: a 27-inch display with a 1080p resolution isn’t a fantastic combo.

We do get an extension to the Rec.709/sRGB gamut in the red, yellow and magenta directions, but no extension for greens or cyans. This creates a bit of unbalance for DCI-P3 coverage, we get decent coverage of reds, but poor for greens, and only 91.2% coverage in total. A bit strange, and not very suitable for displaying color accurate wide gamut images. 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. In terms of picture quality, there's not much wide gamut support, factory calibration is average, and the contrast ratio is poor. But other areas are perfectly usable, it gets nice and bright, viewing angles are excellent, it's a flat panel, no dark level performance issues and it works perfectly fine for SDR content. 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.

Features

The RGB LED is facing the monitor’s stand, it’s subtle and actually practical, especially in the dark. The modes higher than Level 2 are pretty unusable due to high levels of overshoot. While response performance does improve, overshoot gets significantly worse, especially in the Level 4 mode, and it's here you'll see massive inverse ghost trails behind moving objects. These modes are only included so HP can claim the monitor has a 1ms response time - which it can achieve, just with insane and unusable levels of overshoot.

Still, I understand why things are the way they are. They saved money by using the VA panel, which allowed them to increase the monitor’s gaming qualities and keep the monitor within a pre-determined price range. Moving on, the HP Omen X 27 input lag performance is impressive, with just below 3ms of delay at 240Hz, which is imperceptible. Overall, the image quality isn’t bad. There’s a notable improvement over the older 1440p 144Hz TN models, such as the Dell S2716DG. However. there is no inverse ghosting present, as there is no overshoot, typical of settings where overdrive is not used. Cumulative deviation is only modest, suggesting the balance between response times and overshoot is unbalanced in favor of minimizing overshoot. Rec. 2020 coverage is only 67%, which is only 5 percentage points better than sRGB-only displays like the PX277 Prime, and behind other monitors that target DCI-P3. I guess this is why HP didn't advertise a wide color gamut, it straddles the middle between standard and wide. Default Color PerformanceOverall, this monitor does not offer the most premium features available for gaming displays, but for its present costs, it is more than adequate to provide you with a superb and seamless gaming experience. Image Overall Quality 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 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.
