Beautiful easy to use monitor. Perfect for a double screen! Black and silver goes great in my office. 2 hdmi ports and its adjustable up and down only. Works great. Has a sturdy handle in the back of monitor.

The HP 527SH is a stylish screen that will suit your everyday needs. It is geared more toward productivity / Work From Home people and not so much gaming/content consumption.
In the box is the quick start up paperwork, power brick and AC cord, HDMI cable, screen, arm and base. Setup is very easy as the design is 100% toolless and the arm slides into place and secured with an attached thumbscrew. Base connects to the arm and has 2 thumbscrews to fasten it together. One thing to note, because of the thinness of the screen design, the monitor is NOT VESA mountable in case you prefer that method.
Once assembled, the HP offers a wide range of tilt and height adjustment to suit your needs but does not offer any degree of swivel at all.
Inputs include a VGA (why?) and 2x HDMI 2.1 ports. DP isn't needed in my opinion as the screen only offers a max resolution of 1080p @ 100hz.
I am using the monitor on a triple monitor setup for my WFH and it performs flawlessly. I love the bezeless look and how small of a footprint it has. Color accuracy was good out of the box and I had no eye strain with 8 hour workdays. 300 nits of brightness is more than enough to illuminate the IPS panel and give great viewing angles.
You can use the monitor for gaming but I wouldn't suggest fast paced games as the 5ms GtG response time produces minor ghosting for me.
1 thing to watch out for, is that when I plugged in the monitor, Windows set it up automatically but set the refresh rate to 60hz. Make sure to go into the settings and manually select 100hz to get the most out of the HP (see pic).
Truthfully, the monitor should have a price point roughly $50 cheaper (if on sale then go for it) than it's MSRP. Because of the price to performance with a LOT of 27" FHD competition out there and no swivel, it gets a solid 4 stars.

HP 27” IPS LED 100Hz Monitor
Not only is this a sharp good-looking monitor it’s easy on the eyes due to it’s high refresh rate and Low Blue Light display. This is a 27” screen which appears large at first compared to my old 24”, but it doesn’t take long to enjoy the extra space while opening multiple windows. I’ve been using this monitor for about 4 days both on my laptop as well as on my desktop. With the ability to have 2 HDMI inputs as well as a VGA input you will have some choices. Unfortunately, there is no Display Port input. Don’t make that a deal breaker as you can find adaptors to make one of the HDMI’s into a Display Port. Matter of fact I have an older Desktop that uses DVI and I use an adaptor to convert that to HDMI and it works just great on this monitor.
I really like the stand on this monitor. It has a reasonable sized base, but a very stable and solid design. The small amount of silver gives the monitor a very sharp and rich design. I am extremely happy with the very thin border on 3 sides as well as a very thin screen front to back. It is literally only ¼” thick for most of the back except at the bottom quarter where the cables connect and the electronics are hidden. Some may find the jacks to which your cables connect into the back either easy to use, or appear cluttered because you can see your connections from the back. I found it convenient as no one sees the back of my monitor. Another feature is a tilt on the stand (top to bottom) as well as a height adjust with a travel of 4” top to bottom that works smoothly and quietly.
The picture (Color) out of the box in “Neutral” works very well for me. You will have 7 options to choose from including “custom”. I might also add that the on-screen menu controls work pretty well navigating the choices for selecting your options. The controls are simply 4 buttons on the bottom right of the screen. When you push any of the buttons the on-screen menu appears with pop up icons just above to help you pick the correct button for each option. I found it simple yet effective and not frustrating like some menus can be. The screen can be very bright if you want, but the “Neutral” setting is just about right making text easy to read but not so bright it tires your eyes. This monitor has a 100 Hz refresh rate which is not the highest attainable, but very good for casual gaming and detailed work. That’s coupled with Low Blue Light technology which should decrease you eye strain and maybe not keep you awake after you do turn in to bed.
Conclusion:
I think this is a really nice monitor with some good features. The adjustable height and tilt stand is very convenient. I like the on-screen controls, as well the convenience of the connections which are easy to get to right on the back of the monitor (not hidden or plug in from the bottom up). With 2 HDMI and a VGA input, you should have plenty of input choices even if you still need to use a Display Port Adaptor. The picture is sharp and bright, and it doesn’t hurt my eyes. Overall, I think this is a very good monitor at a good price point. I would recommend this monitor for someone seeking a larger screen than the standard 24”.
