I like the wide display and resolution. I previously had a 21 inch monitor, but this 27" is so much better. The on-board webcam and sound system are acceptable.
Great visuals, back light is very useful as I start my work day super early (4am) and I don't have to squint at all. I've had no issues with the monitors so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The HP X27q Gaming Monitor has already been a game changer. Going from a 21-inch 1080p(FHD)/60hz to a 27-inch 1440p(QHD)/165hz is amazing. Not only I’m getting more screen space due to higher pixel count but its significantly smoother. The IPS panel with HDR also makes this screen much brighter and more color accurate. The overall look of this monitor is premium with super slim bezels and good adjustment options for height and tilt. The size and viewing angles allow me to use it as a TV sometimes when watching streaming content. I gamed a few times so far and its far more responsive than my previous monitor. Great buy and value for the premium feature set. For gaming, 1440p is a sweat spot as it allows more FPS then going with 4k which would be far more resource hungry and personally at 27-inch your eyes would not notice much difference in detail. Be sure that your PC has a newer HDMI or DP versions to ensure you can use the 144/165hz modes.
