HP - 27" IPS LED HD Monitor - Black

I used to have a 22 inch HP 2210M. I decided I was ready to upgrade my display and did some research. Not wanting to risk having a monitor shipped and it get damaged I decided to go in store and see what my options were. I already new I would be looking at HP, ASUS, and Samsung and ACER. I initially went home with the ASUS ROG 248qe monitor. After several hours of use I just found it to be to bright for me and the color saturation and profiles were a headache as several people on reviews had noted. The picture was clear and crisp though. But it wasnt the monitor for me. My only regret is second guessing my choice the first go round. I had already decided on the 25 inch version of the VX IPS by HP. I instead went with the 27 inch upon my return of the ASUS monitor. That was all on Saturday. By monday the HP 27VX was on sale for $180, so I went back to store and the customer service team refunded me my $75 difference plus tax from the Original $250 purchase price. Very satisfied there. I love the product and price match satisfaction guarantee that BB uses. I have done about 16 to 20 hours of gaming on it so far and I feel like I see so much more of my games. It has a nice response time and I havent seen any screen tearing or bad pixels. Now for the monitor it self. Pro's: - The natural color profiles are very nice, the screen is crisp and clear but not overwhelmingly bright. - The physical design is very nice, I like the seamless edge and bevel that encompass this gorgeous piece. Has a nice clean mirror black finish on the bottom control bar and stand. - Has 3 connection options with DVI / HDMI / VGA inputs. - Sturdy display stand bracket - Doesn't get hot Con's: I can only think of one. The display height cannot be raised or lowered on the base stand. Only angled up or down. So if you wanted to raise it up thats not happening. But I dont discount that against the design. Its a user preference I guess. Bottom line for $180 plus tax that is a very nice price for a LED 27 inch HD monitor. Dont pass this one up if you are in the market for a new display.

I researched multiple products, and online reviews, before making a decision on the final two choices . . . and a timely Best Buy sale helped making that choice even earlier. Totally pleased with the result of my purchase(s). Heck, even the quality of the protective packaging while it's in the box is impressive. Getting the new monitor up and running was quicker than any I've owned previously, and I didn't make a single adjustment to the settings whatsoever, as it appeared perfect to me from the start. I was a bit concerned about possible glare, but that has not been an issue at all. The touch-sensitive On/Off button on the bottom right of the screen is extremely handy (better then those edge buttons on other models). The screen resolution is very good for my eyes, and I think that all colors are being produced with high quality. Note: there is NO speaker with this model, so only purchase if you have other sound source. I personally like that it doesn't because that allows a thinner bezel for the monitor frame. I can easily recommend this monitor to others because . . . I liked the initial one I purchased, so I bought a second identical one to run side-by-side, and that was quite easy to arrange. They don't take up an extreme amount or space on my desk, since I used a slight angle (which didn't take away from the clearness of view). I hope others will enjoy their purchase as much as I have mine.

I love this monitor, I have had many in the past and this handles motion and color perfectly! It has very minimal IPS glow compared to other IPS monitors!! Make sure to set the brightness to 50-60 range and put sharpness to 3, the default 4 adds sharpening but 3 is pristine image with no additional sharpness added. Turn on video overdrive , it makes motion alot better with no overshoot artifacts! If using a game console like the PS4, Xbox One, PS3 or Xbox 360, you need to put the hdmi black on them to full rgb as this monitor does not have an hdmi black setting. Best gaming monitor out there right now in the 1080p resolution for console gaming! Please go Google NCX review on wecravegamestoo website, he goes much more in depth and explains why these new HP LG AH-IPS panels are the best out there right now!

Purchased this monitor to use as a gaming monitor. I used to use a samsung 55 inch tv (1080p/120hz) but this is so much better in my opinion when it comes to gaming. I can really notice the difference in eye strain relief while using this monitor verses a TV while playing games. The colors are vibrant and they pop especially when using it with an Xbox one. Pros: Games run very smooth, images are clear, responsive, fast, and no sign of laggy'ness from frame rates at all. Very thin design, looks better in person than in the pictures. Sleek and modern dimensions. Menu/option buttons on the screen are very responsive and easy to use. Cons: Glossy, doesn't bother me that much but I'd prefer non-glossy displays. Only has one HDMI port and does not have speakers. Perfect monitor for gaming, provides crisp images, smooth gaming experience. I would recommend this monitor for anyone looking for an IPS monitor to use for games. First time buying an HP monitor and I have no regrets.

The 1st modem that was delivered was broken by the transport co. I called Best Buy to advise them of the damage. The representative at Best Buy was so friendly and very helpful. He made arrangements to have another monitor sent to me - and it arrived very quickly. The monitor is nice and big, the colors on it are so sharp and vivid. The length of time for it to open any web site or document is instantaneous. I'm more than happy with both Best Buy and the HP monitor - service was great, and I love the monitor. The price was much better than ever expected. All in all, very satisfied withboth companies. I have always felt HP made a good product and have relied upon HP for several years. This is not my first purchase from Best Buy, nor will it be my last. Best Buy is an honorable company and everyone I have ever spoken with that works for them has always gone above and beyond, which instills even more satisfaction with my choice of company for my purchases. My next purchases will definitely be done at Best Buy.

I have worked with a secondary monitor connected to my laptop for the past few years (24" Sceptre X240BV) that was a nice monitor that allowed me to multi-task along with my 12.5" laptop screen. And it was great for working. However, when I plugged in the new HP monitor, the world seemed to come alive. As a hobby, I take nature photos and I have them as my wallpaper that rotates pictures every 10 seconds - and this monitor makes the images come alive and makes me feel like I'm being pulled into the scene. When I compare the screen/resolution/hue/saturation/black level between the laptop and the external monitor, it's like my laptop (HP725) screen is from the 70's in technicolor and the HP monitor is a full immersive IMAX experience. The details are so crisp that I can't stop staring at times at the images on the screen. I guess the only negative is that I feel like I'm under-utilizing the screen for it's full potential - but I really do highly recommend.

I am a big HP proponent, and generally like the company products. I have a wonderful HP Envy dv7 laptop that is 3 years old. When I saw this HP 27" monitor on sale, I thought I would be getting quite an upgrade from my 10 year old Acer monitor. I set it up, and the resolution wasn't any better. I went to the software provided and tried all of the different settings. The end result was no better than the Acer. I had ordered this item online after the store had closed, and pickup was ready before the store even opened the next morning! I returned the monitor the next day, and the return went extremely smoothly. *** I have to give props to employees Brandon and Bert at the Woodruff Rd. store in Greenville, SC. I am handicapped, and when the customer service agent requested Bert to get me some help, he cheerfully said, "I will help you"! Generally, most of the emplyees at the location are happy to assist if they aren't swamped.

I recently purchased this monitor thinking I was getting a great price ($149 at the time) for an IPS display. The box says IPS and even the sticker on the back of the display say IPS. Upon doing much research, it hasn't been determined if this is truly an IPS panel display. I've contacted HP Corporate and have steadily gone up through the chain of command and at every point, I was told that this IS NOT AN IPS panel monitor. HP's website claims "IPS technology" http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/monitors/product-detail.html?oid=8108228 What does that mean? Is it "fake" IPS? Sort of like the difference between real 240HZ TVs vs the fake 240 HZ TVs. The specsheets do not state it has a IPS panel. Overall...the monitor is decent for the money I paid, but I'm still very skeptical at this point and still on the fence if I want to return it. Be forewarned before buying this monitor! Best Buy..any comments?
