About this deal

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 Moving on, the HP Omen X 27 input lag performance is impressive, with just below 3ms of delay at 240Hz, which is imperceptible. Está pensado tanto para jugar en PC como en consolas. Tiene conexión sencilla y está preparado para videojuegos de última generación. Si juegas desde el PC, tiene un software llamado OMEN Gaming Hub que da acceso directo a mejoras para videojuegos y controlar el hardware para optimizarlo. La conectividad es 1 HDMI 2,0 (compatible con HDCP) y 1 entrada DisplayPort™ 1.4 (compatible con HDCP), lo cual es muy práctico para cualquier uso diario. The only way to significantly improve performance is through a full calibration, we used Calman for this, and achieved really solid results for sRGB. However for wider gamuts like DCI-P3, coverage of this gamut simply isn't good enough, so I wouldn't recommend this display for anything other than sRGB. Calibrated Color Performance

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. This stand allows you to tilt, swivel and adjust the height to what makes it more comfortable for your use. Also, if you wish to mount the monitor on the wall, you won’t be having good use for those adjustments, and this monitor has you covered with its VESA support, which allows you to do so without any further hassles. While the image quality is a bit better as opposed to the previous-generation TN models, the 160°/170° viewing angles are still a bit of a problem.

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. When we move up to Level 2 overdrive, this is where the monitor is most usable at 165Hz. Performance improves significantly to a 6.13ms grey to grey average, and although overshoot has also increased, it's to a minimal level that you won't notice while gaming. Cumulative deviation is also now around a more acceptable level, with a score of 500 being around the average we like to see for this class of monitor.

Meanwhile at 60Hz, we have to drop down the overdrive setting and as there's no option between Level 2 and Level 1, we basically have to disable overdrive. This hurts performance and doesn't make the X27q a very suitable low refresh rate monitor. If you're mostly playing around 60 FPS I'd recommend you get the M27Q instead, or even the S2721DGF depending on your budget. 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 processorsHP Eye Ease with Eyesafe® certification keeps high-energy blue light out and the color accuracy in. Customize your comfort with the adjustable base. Believing is Seeing What’s more, since there are only 16 dimming zones, they cannot quite keep up with fast-moving objects, which will introduce noticeable trailing/glowing. So, for fast-paced gaming, make sure local dimming is disabled.

The HP Omen X 27 monitor sports a screen resolution of 2560×1440, which is for most people the ideal resolution for 27″ sized displays. The X27q is generally a responsive monitor to use, the OSD is quite fast. So I'm not surprised the input latency is low, at just 0.4ms of processing delay. The major limiting factor is not so much the processing lag, but more the moderate refresh rate. 165Hz is a great starting point for PC gamers today, but if you want the best latency for competitive gaming, jumping up to 240Hz is the way to go, though you'll have to spend roughly twice as much if you want to stay at a 1440p resolution. Besides, even if sunlight hits the screen, which is a bad thing for a lower brightness ratio, this one can manage it effectively and without struggle. Alas, the Omen X 27 uses a TN panel, so common downsides such as narrow viewing angles and inferior image quality are still present. Image Quality 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. For the best image quality, we recommend using the ‘Native’ color temperature mode. Design & Connectivity All performance specifications represent the typical specifications provided by HP's component manufacturers; actual performance may vary either higher or lower. 2K needs a disclaimer: 2K content required to view full 2K images. When it comes to color reproduction, this monitor outperforms the competition. One of the most important aspects of this quality is the IPS that was designed for it. Indeed, out of all the monitors we tested in this price range, this one is unquestionably one of the finest IPS displays.
