Easy Set Up Providing You Pay Attention to the instructions:O) First of all, I was slightly confused over the setting up of the monitor re Quick Setup,
I soon realised step B was an either / Or decision, anyway soon realised what was required.
Next issue, at first I couldn’t get the monitor to power up, am thinking where is the power on button?
So I thought to myself , I really don’t want to have to go the process of re-packing this and sending it back.
Then I thought will disconnect from my pc and just simply try and power it up on a kitchen work top.
What I discovered was that it is crucial to ensure that the HDMI cable is firmly pushed into the monitor HDMI connector and the same with the 13amp power lead, and then Voila the moniter sprang into life.
After that all was good, do make sure you download HP Display Centre as explained on the quick setup stage. Once you have done that it is far easier to configure the monitor to your desired settings re brightness and contrast etc.
Bought two, looks very swish Bought to elevate my study set up, picture quality great, easy to set up and looks great. Haven’t used much for gaming, but works perfectly well for watching TV.
Excelle Excellent monitor. Easy to set up. Great picture. Looks clean – super thin edges. Stand is solid (I’ve used a Vesa arm though for desk ergonomics). Fully recommend
Good Value! The monitor is very great value and arrived in a timely manner, easy to use and setup with another desktop.
Only negative I can report, is that the Base could have been larger in diameter, to make it steadier.
Stand could be better. It is now my main screen for my writing. Very bright and sharp. Had to tone down the brightness. Don’t game so no stars. Stand is not adjustable leans slightly forward. Bit tacky, considering build of the screen is strong and excellent. Recommend. Price was competitive.
It works with my work Surface Pro and will also do so when I get my Elitebook. Picture quality very good and was easy to connect to my Surface Pro once I had the correct wire to connect to the HDMI lead.
Good cheap monito I needed a monitor for my study as I spend a fair bit of time working from home using a small laptop and the laptop screen is just too small. This monitor is a cheap but good value one, it has a 222 screen of HD quality and easily connects to my laptop, and I can use it on its onw or as a second screen. I can also use it to play pc games and / or console games, it has a HD connection and a normal pc video connection (VGA). Easy to set up, and seems to have a good quaility screen. Not the very best monitor you can buy, but also not the worse, its a good value one, mid range but works fine.
Excellent clarity and resolutio Bought two for multi screen use. Not used for gaming just office and picture editing. Good product very happy with them
Good quality for the price I needed a bigger screen than my laptop provided so I went for this one as it suited my budget. The colours are a bit different from the laptop (I use them together as two separate viewing screens), but apart from that it’s fine and does the job. Easy to set up too.
Fine This works fine, i use it for gaming as i dont have the most powerful pc so dont need crazy refresh rates or resouloution however if you do need those i reccomend an alternative, saying that this is oerfect for school, work or basic gaming and is slim and modern looking, especially with a monitor arm.
good value for money Nice monitor, decent picture quality. Suits my needs for basic office stuff and the odd facebook game or seven. Ive had to put it on a box as its a bit lower than i was expecting. Also in the description it says there is a VGA cable included but there was only a HDMI and a power cable. After re-reading i noticed on one part it says its included but another part doesnt mention it being in the box, so beware.
Ottimo per il prezzo pagato L’articolo mi arrivato in ottimo stato, praticamente nuovo. Preso dal Warehouse e pagato meno. A 244 credo non ci sia rivale in funzioni ed estetica. Peccato non sia hdmi 2.1 ma vabe, cosa vuoi pretendere a sto prezzo? Ottimi colori e nessun problema di backlight bleeding
It’s good Have a couple of dead pixels but it’s not something that bothers me, what does bother me is that there’s no audio jack or inbuilt speakers so I’ve had to spend 60 more on external stuff to get it to work.
Wonderful product! This is the best screen I could find in this category! setting up is a pleasure and the quality is brilliant! GO FOR IT IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING IT! I play PS4 on this screen and connect my Macbook using the 2 HDMI ports! A wonderful feature
Beautiful, crystal-clear picture. This monitor was to replace my old one which had eventually given up the ghost. It’s for my desktop PC, on which I do a lot of photo-editing as well as video editing as well, so it needed to provide me with a good, clear image – which it certainly does! I’m over the moon with this and would recommend it to anyone!
NOT VESA COMPATIBLE, otherwise pretty good The picture quality is good enough for me, although I have nothing to compare it with so I can’t really make a call. However, I wouldn’t have bought it had I known that it was not VESA compatible. I was torn between three monitors with similar specs and went for this one as it was slightly cheaper. Having to get an adaptor to mount it means that it will actually work out more expensive.
Pretty and ok for general use. Not for gamers etc One of the best looking screens out there. I had the HP M27fwa which has similar looks but upgraded to the U27 for 4k and VESA support.
I bought it immediately when the price dropped by 100.
The VESA mount is included which is unusual and nice but the bracket is only held in place by a tiny plastic clip so I live in fear of the screen dislodging from the bracket.
Downsides: only 1 HDM1 port, max 60Hz at 4K
Looks every bit as smart as a Mac monito The monitor is super slim and looks almost frameless, really modern looking and the picture quality is fantastic! For the money this is a superb buy. So good I’m going to get another one for the other office.
Great value for money. If you’re like me (getting old) and don’t see the point in anything over 1080p @60fps, then this could be for you. Viewing angles aren’t incredible but when you’re sat gaming or watching HD videos, it’s a great image full of colour. Many options to change contrast etc. Responsiveness when gaming is lightning fast. No input lag. Are their better screens? Yep. Do they cost a lot more money? Yep.
Good buy, well chuffed! Super easy to set up, looks good, and works fine so far! You can tell it’s on the lower end of the price spectrum with picture quality, particularly when plugging in a laptop with a smaller screen. But for the price, it’s great, and I’m very happy with it!
Banging Got it for the missus. She’s well impressed. Super slim monitor I’ve never held one like it.
It does have an external power supply so something to bear in mind if you have nowhere to hide one.
Otherwise seems faultless the colours really pop I would say it’s more vivid than my asus gaming monitor and I’m slightly jealous how it looks more modern and coole
Does the job Use it purely as a second screen for various tasks (nothing to do with gaming). Brilliant screen, nothing wrong with it at all and the price I got it was great.
A delight to use Runs straight out of the box with my HP PC running Windows 10. It is very easy on the eye, the colours are very sharp but what I particularly like is the stand takes up Minimal space, giving a very clean and modern look. I also liked the price and felt I had got very good value for money for an up to date piece of equipment . I am not a gamer but use it for general computing on a daily basis . Works well for Match of the Day, when the house TV is otherwise occupied
Lovely screen, detail and colours. Very happy with this HP ‘IPS’ Monitor. Don’t do gaming just wanted a nice screen to work off and for photo tweaking. This is fine replaced a nine year old one of another make that died.
Wireless connectivity was not as straightforward as described I opened the monitor yesterday and the cap, which sits in a slot on the back of the stand, was snapped in half. There was also a mark on the stand that makes me think that this item was perhaps a previous return.
Stand issues aside. The monitor would not connect wirelessly to my laptop and not sure if that was due to Windows 11. It connected fine with the HDMI lead. Today I added it a different way through Windows and the monitor paired. The screen is a good size and the picture quality is more than sufficient for what I need it for (work). Over wireless there is a very slight delay, but I think that is down to the amount of programmes that I am running at one time rather than the monitor. (Using an Huawei MateBook X Pro).
HP V27e FHD Monitor | £169.99 | Good Value for Money This monitor screen was very easy to set up, pretty much plug-in and go, and was quicklyable to set the display to work with 3 screens as extensions.
I bought this monitor over other options mainly because of the price. 169.99. HP monitors are not usually this cheap from experience.
Probably not suitable if you are an Artist, Graphics Designer etc but for normal WFH office administration this is perfect.
I ordered it yesterday and was expecting delivery in 5 days time but it came next day which was amazing. (But also worrying since I could have been working in the office today and was not expecting a home delivery, but luckily I was in because I happen to not be feeling well).
Great HD monito Have just set this monitor up and it compliments my HP laptop perfectly. I had previously used this monitor with a job, so I knew the quality when buying it for myself on a black Friday deal. Easy to set up, in fact all you have to do is pop the bracket on the back and attached the stand with one screw. It has multiple viewing angles and the picture quality is clear and crisp. Definitely pleased with this bargain.
How do I do "games" rating? I don't do games... Wider than my previous 2nd screen, which died after several years’ hard work, and picture is fine. The HDMI feed is much more secure than the previous VGA, which was insecure at the laptop end. Easy to assemble the stand, and worked straight out of the box. Maybe the stand could be a bit more stable, but that’s probably to reduce footprint.
Sleek, light weight & suits my needs It’s just the right size and weight, and was very easy to set up. I use it as a second screen for my laptop and also for my PlayStation console as well. Doesn’t take too much space on my desk and works great so far.
A well priced, aesthetically pleasing and great performing x2 hdmi full hd scree A well priced, aesthetically pleasing and great performing x2 hdmi full hd screen.
I’ve seen, had and have many monitors. I currently own and use a 35 inch ultrawide 2k monitor. But i got this one for my dad to replace his 12 year old still working hp 1080 22in monitor. This is by far the Best looking monitor I have seen or had. Even my 700 19in Sony from back in 2016, wasn’t close.
Quality hp product from recycled materials. Get one. And having two hdmi inputs is something that many monitors don’t have at this price
Rundum gelungener Monito Bin von einem HP Omen X35 (sehr Gaming orientiert) zu diesem Monitor gewechselt, welcher eher fr Office-Anwendungen beworben wird. Der HP M34D ist wirklich rundum gelungen. Bildqualitt sowohl ber USB-C (per Lenovo X1 Carbon) oder vom PC sind perfekt fr mich. Der Picture-by-Picture Modus funktioniert auch super. So wie ich das verstanden habe, wird immer das Audio-Signal des PCs auf der linken Seite bei PbP ber die Lautsprecher wieder gegeben. Man kann die Tasten des Monitors relativ frei konfigurieren. Ich habe eine Taste fr das Wechseln des Bildsignals und eine weitere Taste fr das Wechseln der USB Eingabegerte gewhlt.
Die USB-C Funktionalitt funktioniert perfekt. Laden, Bild und USB Signale werden einwandfrei bertragen. Es gibt nur eine Abwiegung, die man machen muss. Will man die volle Bandbreite von USB 3.0 oder will man 100Hz. Whlt man USB 3.0, dann hat man nur 60Hz. Whlt man 100Hz, dann gibt es nur USB 2.0. Das wird wohl technisch nicht anders mglich sein ohne Thunderbolt. Ich habe mich fr 100Hz entschieden, da sowieso nur Maus und Tastatur am Montior hngen.
Und zu meinem Erstauenen bietet der Montior so viel Funktionalitt fr so wenig Geld. Ich habe damals fr den alten Monitor fast das doppelte gezahlt und weniger bekommen… Ich mein, ein integrierter KVM Switch ist schon perfekt fr das Home Office.
Es gibt ein paar kleinere Mankos:
-Wechseln der Eingangssignale dauert ein paar Gedenksekunden
-Picture-By-Picture: Beide Systeme werden dann mit der vollen Auflsung laufen. Sodass die Bilder von beidem System sehr klein nebeneinander dargestellt werden.
beautiful, great display, not height adjustable The display is great. It does its job greatly and it is also beautiful as a piece of furniture when shut down.
The only DOWNSIDE is the HEIGHT which is not optimal both for me and my partner (I’m quite tall, she’s “not tall”). When in perfectly vertical position, the lower edge is ~8cm far from the desk and the upper edge is ~38cm far from the desk. Buying a third-part stand is not easy because the monitor is NOT COMPATIBLE with the VESA standard.
Best screen EVER! I know it’s a gaming monitor but honestly it’s amazing for working from home!
I tend to get migraines from screens but have not had one since buying this monitor. It doesn’t strain your eyes and you can adjust the brightness whilst still feeling great!
It’s a pretty big screen and is easy to set up, i’ve connected it to my work laptop so it was literally one wire. It’s the best investment I have made in my home office as I stare at a screen all day and feel fine! I also wear contact lenses and my eyes don’t dry out.
For all those less tech savvy people out there who need a screen for work, I can’t think of a better screen!
A Great Produc This is a great product. The screen size is large, which is ideal for the secretarial work I use it for. The image is clear too. It’s easy to use and comes with the relevant cables and plug attached. Perfect! I’m sure it would be perfect for gaming too because of the large screen size.
Amazing Monitor at its price poi It’s an amazing monitor at its price point. I got this monitor for my time at university, so for uni work, a second screen for coding and for gaming on my PS4.
Colours are amazing on the monitor and the screens view can be adjusted making it perfect for different heights. It’s quite light as well and has a place to make sure your wires at the back are nicely arranged.
I used it on my PS4 and works perfectly, I mostly play fifa and warzone and had no issues with both and the resolution was great!
There’s no speaker although that’s not much of an issue.
Very happy Very happy with this monitor. I only use it for office functions so I don’t know it’s gaming capabilities. Be aware though the picture quality was disappointing at first, I then changed the screen colour settings to native and the difference was incredible. Hope this helps anyone in the future
Dece Bought this to replace an appalling quality Samsung from Currys – this is much better and in the same price bracket. Decent picture quality for the money and as a second WFH monitor I doubt you would be disappointed.
Great picture quality Screen is great for picture quality, was easy to put together and link to my Mac..
Good size, all in all very satisfied, great product.
No fuss value for money. If you want a basic no fuss screen for mail, Internet, Excell and word this display at this price is excellent. Much better than my laptop display. This size fits perfectly on my desk.
OH MY WORD!!! What do I like?…EVERYTHING. What a great product. Simple to set up, great screen quality, and a super reasonable price. If it lasts a few years, it will be one if my best buys eve
does the job good easy monitor to setup, no screws needed. everything just clicks into place. it doesnt swivel and i did feel the image quality could be a little more crisp, but more than fine for day to day working and good price as well
Fácil de conectar sin necesidad de cables Pantalla con muy buena resolucin, imagen de alta calidad. Muy cmodo disponer de conexin inalmbrica para poder utilizarlo con diferentes porttiles, sin tener que tener variedad de cables de conexi
Great value monitor with a surprisingly good display For under 100 I wasn’t expecting a fantastic monitor but I’ve actually been quite surprised by the quality. The slim bezel design is very neat and the image is spot on for my intended use. I wanted a screen to place in front of my treadmill to connect up my Apple TV so I can use Zwift or watch TV and Movies while running. The fact that it comes with a HDMI cable in the box was a bonus.
Perfekt fürs Homeoffice Wie ich finde ein sehr guter Monitor frs Homeoffice. Form und Design sind super, volle Punktzahl. Farben knnten etwas krftiger sein, Helligkeit ist top. Gerade das der Displayport fehlt finde ich ok, ist auch heute nicht mehr Standard. Super ist auch die Kabelfhrung, hatte ich bis jetzt bei keinem Monitor so schn gelst.
Also alles in allem ein sehr gutes Produkt zum guten Preis.
Hoch auflösender Monitor in Top Qualitä Mein Mann nutzt diesen Bildschirm als zustzlichen Monitor am Notebook.
Die beigefgten Kabel lassen keine Wnsche fr die Schnittstelle brig. Wir nutzen das HDMI-Interface. Der Monitor hat einen stabilen Fu, der leicht zu montieren ist.
Das mitgelieferte Netzteil mit Netzkabel ist lang genug, um es an die Stromquelle anzuschlieen.
Der Ein-/Ausschalter befindet sich unten rechts unterhalb vom Rahmen (unsichtbar) und lsst sich leicht bedienen. Dort befinden sich auch die Tasten fr die Menauswahl, wo sich z.B. Helligkeit usw. einstellen lassen.
Der Monitor hat eine hohe Auflsung und sehr schnelle Reaktionszeit. Farb- und Kontrastdarstellung sind sehr gut.
Er lsst sich im Blickwinkel verstellen und ist somit sehr angenehm fr die persnliche Sitzhaltung am Schreibtisch.
Der niedrige Energieverbrauch rundet das beraus positive Gesamtbild ab. #
Fazit: Ein super Monitor, der keine Wnsche offenlsst !
Great for office staff, not so great for gaming I have 3 devices to plug into this monitor: my work MacBook 16, gaming laptop and PS5.
For working on MacBook, it is perfect. I give here 5 stars. It is only one cable for charging, video output, connecting keyboard and mouse. It provides good text clarity, but not the best possible, probably because 28″ is a little too big for 4K. I had previously old Dell 27″ 4K, and it was perfect. Also, it gives HDR out of the box and 10-bit colours on each channel.
For gaming on PC, I give it 3.5 stars. I have a laptop with GeForce 2070, and it has DisplayPort 1.4 over USB-C (Thunderbolt) and HDMI 2.0. It turned out (well, it was in specs, actually) monitor have only DisplayPort 1.2 (!), which do not support HDR officially. I had a lot of trouble getting it right.
There are two options for me in this setup: use USB-C to USB-C connection, and I have no trouble with rewiring the keyboard and mouse (they are still connected to the monitor), but there are many troubles with HDR. For some reason, HDR can be turned on in Windows 10. I do not know why because there is no such thing DP 1.2 specs. But anyway, when I am turning on HDR, setting 10-bit RGB, everything seems fine until I’ll start some game, and it immediately resets to 6-bit (!) with awful colour banding. Colour banding is when you see clear colour steps in gradients, like back in 1995. I can switch from RBG (native) to YCbCr 4:4:4 (it is a colour compression method), but I get limited colour, and I see colour banding as well, but not so bad as if it was on 6 bit. So after killing a lot of time on it, I decided to turn off HDR in Windows and enjoy 8 bit RGB with a Photo colour profile. Sometimes I select YCbCr 4:4:4 10 bit + HDR because it is a bit better in darker games, but as I said this options gives noticeable color banding.
Another option for gaming PC is to hook up HDMI. It works well on HDR 8-bit RGB, but I have to manually reconnect the mouse and keyboard from monitor to laptop. I hate wires on a desk and all this manual switching, so it is not for me. Maybe I’ll make up something for this later.
By the way, there is no official G-SYNC support (only AMD FreeSync). Although Nvidia Control Panel allows to turn on G-SYNC, it’s just not working. I see awful screen tearing in games, so I turned on VSYNC in games (it’s like a software solution to screen tearing problem, but not so efficient). There is such an option for DisplayPort connection, but HDMI lucks it.
And the last one is PS5, and the monitor gets 5 stars here. HDR looks amazing, true 4K. I cannot complain here. Also, I bought a 5wt soundbar (costs around 20 quids) and connected it to the monitor. This setup gives decent sound for PS 5 games.
So I guess this is just the best option for its price for me. Better solutions in terms of PC gaming starts from 800 quids (if you need 4K), that is not I’m ready spend now. I’ll wait until OLED or mini-LED monitors will become affordable for better HDR experience.
Perfecto! Con este monitor (HP M34D) he pasado de una configuracin de monitor doble (sujetados con brazo y ajustables, uno era un HP Z24N IPS , otro Philips de 27″ con pantalla curva), a un setup de nico monitor. Esto me ha ayudado a mejorar el foco en el trabajo. Adems, los juegos se ven increbles. Se nota que es un buen monitor.
Tengo conectado un porttil por USB-C (con vdeo), y un ordenador de sobremesa por Display-port, lo que me permite alcanzar 100Hz en el ordenador conectado por display port, 60 HZ en el de USB-C.
Me ha sorprendido la calidad del negro, los colores ms que correctos, y la funcionalidad KVM:
– Con KVM ahora puedo usar los dispositivos USB (teclado / ratn / trackball) en los dos ordenadores, en funcin de cul estoy usando. He configurado los botones del monitor para seleccionar rpidamente la seal de vdeo de entre los dos ordenadores, y otro botn ara seleccionar a qu ordenador se asignan los puertos USB.
La pantalla curva siempre ayuda a relajar la vista (al habituarse es definitivamente ms cmodo), a la vez mejorar concentracin en el trabajo, y a jugar de forma realmente inmersiva.
Tambin se pueden ver dos seales de monitor a la vez (funcin “PBP”), una imagen de ordenador al lado de la del otro ordenador, pero creo ms rpido y mejor es configurar los botones, e ir cambiando segn qu ordenador se necesita usar en cada momento.
Clear image - great size for multiple windows! Bought this to help me manage my screen/windows much better – 27 inches is the perfect size for this! Can have multiple windows open without having to scrunch them up. Image quality is pretty decent, does feel slightly grainy but maybe that because I’m using this at a desk so I’m too close? All in all though, its a decent, solid screen that delivers what I need.
Excellent for everyday use. Value for money. This is a very affordable Full HD Monitor that would be ideal for those seeking a simple yet good quality monitor for everyday use.
This is a 27″ monitor by HP with a 1080p resolution and really sleek, modern design. The monitor doesn’t take up a lot of room on my desk yet still provides excellent quality images. It is also very easy to set up. You connect it up to your PC tower and you plug it into the wall. In my case, all it took was a HDMI cable and the plug cable and I was ready to go.
A nice feature, is the fact that the screen can be tilted backward and forward so you can achieve a comfortable position for your needs. I keep mine tilted back slightly which works great for writing.
This is definitely designed to be an everyday, simple monitor. The price is excellent for the quality and it is very easy to set up. If you want to do graphic design, there are definitely better monitors out there that could even support 4k for maximum resolution but, as 1080p HD monitors go, this is a very, very good one.
The only (minor) downside to this monitor, was the fact that it arrived with a European plug so I had to buy an adapter to plug it in here in the UK. However, it could just be due to the fact that I received the item as a ‘review’ item. Despite that, I have been using this monitor daily together with the EU-UK plug adapter and it was worked wonderfully well.
Great quality I am so glad I chose this monitor, working from home I needed a good picture quality and perfect screen, I am not sure about gaming but I’d imagine this screen would be good because I work with photos and numbers and they are perfect.
Replaces an older model. The older model started failing after 5 years or so. Failure mode was the bottom of the screen started a black-creeping thing, which started suddenly, then progressed over a week or so to become a real issue. So no long slow death, just a rapid reminder to replace.
As with the older model, great value for money. Non-relective and great picture quality.
The old version had been used for perhaps 8hrs a day, 24/7/365.
Would definitely seek out this product in the future, perhaps 5 yrs from now.
A Really Good Everyday Monitor (for me) I use this as my everyday monitor as well as for casual gaming and it’s absolutely fine. Useful additional ports, good options and it works well for my needs. It’s a handy size and I’d happily buy a second one to work as a side-by-side monitor.
For me, it has been a good purchase.
Who Is Thee "HP 27e 1920 X1080 60Hz Monitor" For? Upon opening the box, you are greeted with the 27″monitor itself, one HDMI cable, the Manual, the base and a power cord. There are no screws, it just all clicks into place in order to set it up.
There is no height adjustment and also no swivel. There is tilt adjustment but let’s face it, if it had all that adjustment the monitor would be more expensive and once you have it in place you don’t move it anyway. It also has Vesa mount ability at 100 X 100.
The monitor looks smart with slim bezels and a small HP logo at the front. The stand itself is circular and quite small.
The only ports at the back of the monitor consist of 1 X HDMI port and 1 X VGA port which I didn’t know why they added as hardly anyone uses VGA anymore but maybe this was a move to keep the monitor costs low and there is also NO USB Ports.
When unboxed and set up, the HP27e weighs 4.5Kgms roughly, which is lightweight compared to my 25″ Dell.
Upon switching on, you have a 5 button system underneath the right hand corner which is surprisingly simple to use unlike some of the rest of the monitors I worked with but alas no joystick button here.
It has 4 levels of response time level which are,
Level 1
Level 2 “Fast”
Level 3
Level 4 “Fastest”
I haven’t got the equipment to test these but no doubt lvl 4 would be the worst for ghosting just to achieve the 5ms response time as do all monitors.
The monitor has NOT GOT AMD Freesync OR Nvidia G-Sync.
I did however run the Spyder 5 Elite Calibration software on the HP 27e and here is the results I got in regards of colour but each monitor will vary slightly.
sRGB = 90%
NTSC = 75%
AdobeRGB = 77%
P3 = 76%
Also I found this panel I tested had NO Back Bleed what so ever.
It has also all the usual offerings “as seen from the image but I report on each one it would get tp the point you would no longer read the review as it would be to long but I will report, this HP 27e monitor is a 60HZ monitor and is 8bit, so you must ask yourself who is it for?
Is it for the casual worker that just needs a monitor and also light gaming and who takes the odd photo and using Photoshop, then I would say yes. This HP 27e IS NOT a high end gaming monitor “hence the price”. A 27″ monitor at 149.99 at time of writing “26/04/21” isn’t bad to be fair but you get what you pay for. It still looks good and modern and is for the everyday person just looking for a low cost monitor. My other Monitor is thee Hp Omen 27i 165hz at just over 3 times the price but I need it for work.
I hope I gave you some info into the HP 27e and the review was helpful in some way into making your mind up on buying it.
Just above average for a just below average price The picture quality is pretty good – it’s not going to blow you away. The blacks are dark but not deep, the colours are bright but don’t ‘pop’. If youre looking for a monitor to work on – this is an easy reccomendation.
It will certainly play media with no issue, it’s clean and crisp enough for a casual viewer. But if you’re big into your movies and such, it may be a little bit underwhelming.
All in all, I think if you’re looking for a monitor at this price range, your expectations should be less than a Samsung oled or quantum dot or whatever their latest ‘mind blowing’ displays are called now. But honestly, I don’t think you can expect any better than this monitor at this price.
It’s big, it’s a good display, it’s plug and play and will be a picture more than satisfying for all but the most demanding. For those who are shopping at this price range, for me at least, the most important thing is that I’m buying something that works well, nothing dodgy from some dodgy brand with big claims on suspect specs. This is a solid choice that I can’t imagine anyone is going to regret – reccomended!
Great monitor that is crystal clea Ordered this as an additional monitor for the laptop. Stand easily went together and the screen clarity is beautifully clear. Not a huge monitor but it fits perfectly on our small office desk.
What's not to like.... Arrived about an hour ago….got it unboxed and set up in minutes. The extra size, compared to my old monitor, is great. My photos really look so much better….the colours are vibrant and sharp. Really happy with this! Photo editing will no be so much more pleasurable!
Good quality Considering the price it’s a great monitor. Colours are good, response time isn’t as sluggish as some other budget monitors I’ve used before. The best thing is the minimal bezel, makes it a great companion monitor for a more slick primary screen.
Great Monitor for photo editing I wanted this monitor to use with photoshop and Lightroom for processing my images from a Canon DSLR. I also chose it for having a USBC outlet so I can use a single cable from my MacBook Pro for charging and video. The screen quality is excellent and the bezel is very slim – although the bottom of the screen has a larger bezel – which accommodates the connections. (at the back) and the on off and power management. The stand is lovely – very easy to set up and allow to move between Landscape and portrait with a simple turn on the screen. I haven’t given it 5 stars as the USBC connection was difficult to get going – for some reason my MacBook would charge but not display without a number of reboots. It also only outputs a maximum of 65W which is below the 90W recommended for the MacBook. However, I don’t seem to have had any power issues, although I haven’t yet done any power processing on 4k video. I cannot comment on gaming – as I don’t do any!
Resolution too high for size of monitor. The monitor is excellent. I would have given it 5*.
But there is a general issue with 4K monitors I had not appreciated.
This 28″ monitor replaced a 27″ apple thunderbolt monitor of lesser resolution.
At 4K everything becomes tiny on screen and text, particularly below icons, is almost unreadable, even wearing my glasses made specifically for working on a monitor.
The only work around is to lower the resolution of the monitor in your computer settings. It’s cheaper just to buy a lower resolution monitor. It used to be possible to scale system text and icons, but no longer.
I think 4K would need at least a 32″ monitor, and more likely 36″ to really take advantage of the resolution.
Best Low budget 4k monitor for gaming I’ve had few 4k monitors which where very poor HDR quality but this one I beast! Screen quality and image sharpnes is perfect, it has a certified HDR 400, and even when hdr is on you can still change a image sharpnes.
gaming his is a really good monitor, When I got it it was really easy to setup and it has a really sharp clear image would recommend for gaming and other uses.
Extra light and beautiful scree Beautiful design ultra light, very big extremely recommended for movies/ videos. Good material ! It is very basic, only one HDMI and no USB port , but I only need it to project videos with my smartphone through a dongle, so it doesn’t matter. I am very satisfied with it!
I hope I’ll get the dongle soon to see how is the graphic.
Superb kit at a very reasonable price I am using the HP U28 4k monitor with a Mac Book Pro, connected via USB C (with power delivery for charging) and with the monitor acting as a hub, including ethernet connect via an Anker USB A to ethernet adapter.
I rejected the BENQ PD3220U which has additional ports, but costs twice as much as HP’s U28 and is unable to produce the 400 nits brightness which makes the 50% cheaper model so attractive.
I simply cannot fault the HP U28. Everything works like a dream: wake for sleep (all ports react as expected, though it took a while to find the correct setting), picture quality and stand. The product is available with teacher/student discount and for just 20 you have a comprehensive three-year warranty. What’s not to like…?
Good monitor - with some caveats Purchased at 189.99 on a deal and the score is based on paying that price. For a 4K 28 monitor from a known brand i’m not sure you’ll find any better.
Purchased for a gaming PC and although limited to 60hz (i’m not an FPS freak) it does the job ok. Freesync works with my Nvidia RTX3070 so it’s a smooth 60FPS.
Definition of blacks is where this monitor isn’t that great, they can be washed out and the gradient between black to grey to white is defined, a downside of TN displays, other than that picture quality is good.
if you want 4K video at 60hz make sure you connect via Display port and not HDMI as they HDMI port is the old standard.
At 189.99 it’s a bargain, make your own mind up at 299 though.
Lovely big monitor, bargain really Great monitor. Thin frame round the sides and top. Mounted easily to the desk arm thingy I bought for it. Sensible-sized buttons under the frame. Slightly wider than I’d imagined, which is even better 🙂 Nice and clear text – perfect for coding. A lot better than the one I’ve got at work – perfect for working from home 🙂 All for 100. Perfect really. Did I mention it’s perfect?
Bon rapport qualité/prix pour un écran 4k Globalement satisfait de l’cran car il est conforme ce que j’en attendais: 27 pouces, 4k, 2 entres (hdmi et Dp) avec dtection automatique de l’entre, haut-parleurs intgrs corrects, esthtique, lgant avec bords fins et accessoire pour fixation murale , qualit d’image conforme la description.
Par contre: je n’ai pas russi utiliser l’affichage wireless . Il n’y pas de documentation dtaille en ligne. Je ne comprends pas bien l’utilit des connecteurs usb derrire l’cran.
Bigger than I expected! I bought this monitor because another one was out of stock and I needed one fairly quickly, and I’m really happy with it – crystal clear, great contrast, dynamic, easy to install.
Great for movies, not so good for for close work This purchase was to replace my beloved Asus VE278H 27-inch, bought in 2013, which gave up the ghost recently. This replacement is a 28 inch, which may be a mistake for what I use it for – mainly office work. I have to put the monitor a long way away, about 65cms. I’m finding the screen is still a bit too big and bright to work on documents comfortably. Perhaps I should have bought the 27 in version, which I see is considerably cheaper. The 28 screen is pretty good, almost too bright, for videos and photos but the colours seem a bit pale compared to the Asus.
Easy Set Up Providing You Pay Attention to the instructions:O)
First of all, I was slightly confused over the setting up of the monitor re Quick Setup,
I soon realised step B was an either / Or decision, anyway soon realised what was required.
Next issue, at first I couldn’t get the monitor to power up, am thinking where is the power on button?
So I thought to myself , I really don’t want to have to go the process of re-packing this and sending it back.
Then I thought will disconnect from my pc and just simply try and power it up on a kitchen work top.
What I discovered was that it is crucial to ensure that the HDMI cable is firmly pushed into the monitor HDMI connector and the same with the 13amp power lead, and then Voila the moniter sprang into life.
After that all was good, do make sure you download HP Display Centre as explained on the quick setup stage. Once you have done that it is far easier to configure the monitor to your desired settings re brightness and contrast etc.
All in all am very happy with my purchase.
Bought two, looks very swish
Bought to elevate my study set up, picture quality great, easy to set up and looks great. Haven’t used much for gaming, but works perfectly well for watching TV.
Works well
Price to performance is great, has an array of options, and has worked fantastic so fa
Excelle
Excellent monitor. Easy to set up. Great picture. Looks clean – super thin edges. Stand is solid (I’ve used a Vesa arm though for desk ergonomics). Fully recommend
Good Value!
The monitor is very great value and arrived in a timely manner, easy to use and setup with another desktop.
Only negative I can report, is that the Base could have been larger in diameter, to make it steadier.
Stand could be better.
It is now my main screen for my writing. Very bright and sharp. Had to tone down the brightness. Don’t game so no stars. Stand is not adjustable leans slightly forward. Bit tacky, considering build of the screen is strong and excellent. Recommend. Price was competitive.
It works with my work Surface Pro and will also do so when I get my Elitebook.
Picture quality very good and was easy to connect to my Surface Pro once I had the correct wire to connect to the HDMI lead.
Good second scree
Bought to use as a second screen, does the job perfectly
Good cheap monito
I needed a monitor for my study as I spend a fair bit of time working from home using a small laptop and the laptop screen is just too small. This monitor is a cheap but good value one, it has a 222 screen of HD quality and easily connects to my laptop, and I can use it on its onw or as a second screen. I can also use it to play pc games and / or console games, it has a HD connection and a normal pc video connection (VGA). Easy to set up, and seems to have a good quaility screen. Not the very best monitor you can buy, but also not the worse, its a good value one, mid range but works fine.
Excellent clarity and resolutio
Bought two for multi screen use. Not used for gaming just office and picture editing. Good product very happy with them
Good quality for the price
I needed a bigger screen than my laptop provided so I went for this one as it suited my budget. The colours are a bit different from the laptop (I use them together as two separate viewing screens), but apart from that it’s fine and does the job. Easy to set up too.
Fine
This works fine, i use it for gaming as i dont have the most powerful pc so dont need crazy refresh rates or resouloution however if you do need those i reccomend an alternative, saying that this is oerfect for school, work or basic gaming and is slim and modern looking, especially with a monitor arm.
good value for money
Nice monitor, decent picture quality. Suits my needs for basic office stuff and the odd facebook game or seven. Ive had to put it on a box as its a bit lower than i was expecting. Also in the description it says there is a VGA cable included but there was only a HDMI and a power cable. After re-reading i noticed on one part it says its included but another part doesnt mention it being in the box, so beware.
Ottimo per il prezzo pagato
L’articolo mi arrivato in ottimo stato, praticamente nuovo. Preso dal Warehouse e pagato meno. A 244 credo non ci sia rivale in funzioni ed estetica. Peccato non sia hdmi 2.1 ma vabe, cosa vuoi pretendere a sto prezzo? Ottimi colori e nessun problema di backlight bleeding
It’s good
Have a couple of dead pixels but it’s not something that bothers me, what does bother me is that there’s no audio jack or inbuilt speakers so I’ve had to spend 60 more on external stuff to get it to work.
Wonderful product!
This is the best screen I could find in this category! setting up is a pleasure and the quality is brilliant! GO FOR IT IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING IT! I play PS4 on this screen and connect my Macbook using the 2 HDMI ports! A wonderful feature
Beautiful, crystal-clear picture.
This monitor was to replace my old one which had eventually given up the ghost. It’s for my desktop PC, on which I do a lot of photo-editing as well as video editing as well, so it needed to provide me with a good, clear image – which it certainly does! I’m over the moon with this and would recommend it to anyone!
NOT VESA COMPATIBLE, otherwise pretty good
The picture quality is good enough for me, although I have nothing to compare it with so I can’t really make a call. However, I wouldn’t have bought it had I known that it was not VESA compatible. I was torn between three monitors with similar specs and went for this one as it was slightly cheaper. Having to get an adaptor to mount it means that it will actually work out more expensive.
Pretty and ok for general use. Not for gamers etc
One of the best looking screens out there. I had the HP M27fwa which has similar looks but upgraded to the U27 for 4k and VESA support.
I bought it immediately when the price dropped by 100.
The VESA mount is included which is unusual and nice but the bracket is only held in place by a tiny plastic clip so I live in fear of the screen dislodging from the bracket.
Downsides: only 1 HDM1 port, max 60Hz at 4K
Looks every bit as smart as a Mac monito
The monitor is super slim and looks almost frameless, really modern looking and the picture quality is fantastic! For the money this is a superb buy. So good I’m going to get another one for the other office.
Great value for money.
If you’re like me (getting old) and don’t see the point in anything over 1080p @60fps, then this could be for you. Viewing angles aren’t incredible but when you’re sat gaming or watching HD videos, it’s a great image full of colour. Many options to change contrast etc. Responsiveness when gaming is lightning fast. No input lag. Are their better screens? Yep. Do they cost a lot more money? Yep.
Good buy, well chuffed!
Super easy to set up, looks good, and works fine so far! You can tell it’s on the lower end of the price spectrum with picture quality, particularly when plugging in a laptop with a smaller screen. But for the price, it’s great, and I’m very happy with it!
Banging
Got it for the missus. She’s well impressed. Super slim monitor I’ve never held one like it.
It does have an external power supply so something to bear in mind if you have nowhere to hide one.
Otherwise seems faultless the colours really pop I would say it’s more vivid than my asus gaming monitor and I’m slightly jealous how it looks more modern and coole
Does the job
Use it purely as a second screen for various tasks (nothing to do with gaming). Brilliant screen, nothing wrong with it at all and the price I got it was great.
Runs straight out of the box with my HP PC running Windows 10. It is very easy on the eye, the colours are very sharp but what I particularly like is the stand takes up Minimal space, giving a very clean and modern look. I also liked the price and felt I had got very good value for money for an up to date piece of equipment . I am not a gamer but use it for general computing on a daily basis . Works well for Match of the Day, when the house TV is otherwise occupied
Lovely screen, detail and colours.
Very happy with this HP ‘IPS’ Monitor. Don’t do gaming just wanted a nice screen to work off and for photo tweaking. This is fine replaced a nine year old one of another make that died.
Wireless connectivity was not as straightforward as described
I opened the monitor yesterday and the cap, which sits in a slot on the back of the stand, was snapped in half. There was also a mark on the stand that makes me think that this item was perhaps a previous return.
Stand issues aside. The monitor would not connect wirelessly to my laptop and not sure if that was due to Windows 11. It connected fine with the HDMI lead. Today I added it a different way through Windows and the monitor paired. The screen is a good size and the picture quality is more than sufficient for what I need it for (work). Over wireless there is a very slight delay, but I think that is down to the amount of programmes that I am running at one time rather than the monitor. (Using an Huawei MateBook X Pro).
Would still recommend.
HP V27e FHD Monitor | £169.99 | Good Value for Money
This monitor screen was very easy to set up, pretty much plug-in and go, and was quicklyable to set the display to work with 3 screens as extensions.
I bought this monitor over other options mainly because of the price. 169.99. HP monitors are not usually this cheap from experience.
Probably not suitable if you are an Artist, Graphics Designer etc but for normal WFH office administration this is perfect.
I ordered it yesterday and was expecting delivery in 5 days time but it came next day which was amazing. (But also worrying since I could have been working in the office today and was not expecting a home delivery, but luckily I was in because I happen to not be feeling well).
Great HD monito
Have just set this monitor up and it compliments my HP laptop perfectly. I had previously used this monitor with a job, so I knew the quality when buying it for myself on a black Friday deal. Easy to set up, in fact all you have to do is pop the bracket on the back and attached the stand with one screw. It has multiple viewing angles and the picture quality is clear and crisp. Definitely pleased with this bargain.
How do I do "games" rating? I don't do games...
Wider than my previous 2nd screen, which died after several years’ hard work, and picture is fine. The HDMI feed is much more secure than the previous VGA, which was insecure at the laptop end. Easy to assemble the stand, and worked straight out of the box. Maybe the stand could be a bit more stable, but that’s probably to reduce footprint.
Sleek, light weight & suits my needs
It’s just the right size and weight, and was very easy to set up. I use it as a second screen for my laptop and also for my PlayStation console as well. Doesn’t take too much space on my desk and works great so far.
A well priced, aesthetically pleasing and great performing x2 hdmi full hd scree
A well priced, aesthetically pleasing and great performing x2 hdmi full hd screen.
I’ve seen, had and have many monitors. I currently own and use a 35 inch ultrawide 2k monitor. But i got this one for my dad to replace his 12 year old still working hp 1080 22in monitor. This is by far the Best looking monitor I have seen or had. Even my 700 19in Sony from back in 2016, wasn’t close.
Quality hp product from recycled materials. Get one. And having two hdmi inputs is something that many monitors don’t have at this price
Bin von einem HP Omen X35 (sehr Gaming orientiert) zu diesem Monitor gewechselt, welcher eher fr Office-Anwendungen beworben wird. Der HP M34D ist wirklich rundum gelungen. Bildqualitt sowohl ber USB-C (per Lenovo X1 Carbon) oder vom PC sind perfekt fr mich. Der Picture-by-Picture Modus funktioniert auch super. So wie ich das verstanden habe, wird immer das Audio-Signal des PCs auf der linken Seite bei PbP ber die Lautsprecher wieder gegeben. Man kann die Tasten des Monitors relativ frei konfigurieren. Ich habe eine Taste fr das Wechseln des Bildsignals und eine weitere Taste fr das Wechseln der USB Eingabegerte gewhlt.
Die USB-C Funktionalitt funktioniert perfekt. Laden, Bild und USB Signale werden einwandfrei bertragen. Es gibt nur eine Abwiegung, die man machen muss. Will man die volle Bandbreite von USB 3.0 oder will man 100Hz. Whlt man USB 3.0, dann hat man nur 60Hz. Whlt man 100Hz, dann gibt es nur USB 2.0. Das wird wohl technisch nicht anders mglich sein ohne Thunderbolt. Ich habe mich fr 100Hz entschieden, da sowieso nur Maus und Tastatur am Montior hngen.
Und zu meinem Erstauenen bietet der Montior so viel Funktionalitt fr so wenig Geld. Ich habe damals fr den alten Monitor fast das doppelte gezahlt und weniger bekommen… Ich mein, ein integrierter KVM Switch ist schon perfekt fr das Home Office.
Es gibt ein paar kleinere Mankos:
-Wechseln der Eingangssignale dauert ein paar Gedenksekunden
-Picture-By-Picture: Beide Systeme werden dann mit der vollen Auflsung laufen. Sodass die Bilder von beidem System sehr klein nebeneinander dargestellt werden.
The display is great. It does its job greatly and it is also beautiful as a piece of furniture when shut down.
The only DOWNSIDE is the HEIGHT which is not optimal both for me and my partner (I’m quite tall, she’s “not tall”). When in perfectly vertical position, the lower edge is ~8cm far from the desk and the upper edge is ~38cm far from the desk. Buying a third-part stand is not easy because the monitor is NOT COMPATIBLE with the VESA standard.
I know it’s a gaming monitor but honestly it’s amazing for working from home!
I tend to get migraines from screens but have not had one since buying this monitor. It doesn’t strain your eyes and you can adjust the brightness whilst still feeling great!
It’s a pretty big screen and is easy to set up, i’ve connected it to my work laptop so it was literally one wire. It’s the best investment I have made in my home office as I stare at a screen all day and feel fine! I also wear contact lenses and my eyes don’t dry out.
For all those less tech savvy people out there who need a screen for work, I can’t think of a better screen!
A Great Produc
This is a great product. The screen size is large, which is ideal for the secretarial work I use it for. The image is clear too. It’s easy to use and comes with the relevant cables and plug attached. Perfect! I’m sure it would be perfect for gaming too because of the large screen size.
It’s an amazing monitor at its price point. I got this monitor for my time at university, so for uni work, a second screen for coding and for gaming on my PS4.
Colours are amazing on the monitor and the screens view can be adjusted making it perfect for different heights. It’s quite light as well and has a place to make sure your wires at the back are nicely arranged.
I used it on my PS4 and works perfectly, I mostly play fifa and warzone and had no issues with both and the resolution was great!
There’s no speaker although that’s not much of an issue.
Very happy
Very happy with this monitor. I only use it for office functions so I don’t know it’s gaming capabilities. Be aware though the picture quality was disappointing at first, I then changed the screen colour settings to native and the difference was incredible. Hope this helps anyone in the future
Dece
Bought this to replace an appalling quality Samsung from Currys – this is much better and in the same price bracket. Decent picture quality for the money and as a second WFH monitor I doubt you would be disappointed.
Great picture quality
Screen is great for picture quality, was easy to put together and link to my Mac..
Good size, all in all very satisfied, great product.
No fuss value for money.
If you want a basic no fuss screen for mail, Internet, Excell and word this display at this price is excellent. Much better than my laptop display. This size fits perfectly on my desk.
OH MY WORD!!!
What do I like?…EVERYTHING. What a great product. Simple to set up, great screen quality, and a super reasonable price. If it lasts a few years, it will be one if my best buys eve
Great Value for the price
Easy to unbox, Toolless stand building and attachment. simple and easy to plug in and use.
Looks great for a value screen, much better than many at this price point. Clean and crisp picture with no visible lag on websites or videos.
Easy to use built in screen menu.
Negatives as this price…. None
does the job
good easy monitor to setup, no screws needed. everything just clicks into place. it doesnt swivel and i did feel the image quality could be a little more crisp, but more than fine for day to day working and good price as well
Pantalla con muy buena resolucin, imagen de alta calidad. Muy cmodo disponer de conexin inalmbrica para poder utilizarlo con diferentes porttiles, sin tener que tener variedad de cables de conexi
Great value monitor with a surprisingly good display
For under 100 I wasn’t expecting a fantastic monitor but I’ve actually been quite surprised by the quality. The slim bezel design is very neat and the image is spot on for my intended use. I wanted a screen to place in front of my treadmill to connect up my Apple TV so I can use Zwift or watch TV and Movies while running. The fact that it comes with a HDMI cable in the box was a bonus.
Perfekt fürs Homeoffice
Wie ich finde ein sehr guter Monitor frs Homeoffice. Form und Design sind super, volle Punktzahl. Farben knnten etwas krftiger sein, Helligkeit ist top. Gerade das der Displayport fehlt finde ich ok, ist auch heute nicht mehr Standard. Super ist auch die Kabelfhrung, hatte ich bis jetzt bei keinem Monitor so schn gelst.
Also alles in allem ein sehr gutes Produkt zum guten Preis.
Mein Mann nutzt diesen Bildschirm als zustzlichen Monitor am Notebook.
Die beigefgten Kabel lassen keine Wnsche fr die Schnittstelle brig. Wir nutzen das HDMI-Interface. Der Monitor hat einen stabilen Fu, der leicht zu montieren ist.
Das mitgelieferte Netzteil mit Netzkabel ist lang genug, um es an die Stromquelle anzuschlieen.
Der Ein-/Ausschalter befindet sich unten rechts unterhalb vom Rahmen (unsichtbar) und lsst sich leicht bedienen. Dort befinden sich auch die Tasten fr die Menauswahl, wo sich z.B. Helligkeit usw. einstellen lassen.
Der Monitor hat eine hohe Auflsung und sehr schnelle Reaktionszeit. Farb- und Kontrastdarstellung sind sehr gut.
Er lsst sich im Blickwinkel verstellen und ist somit sehr angenehm fr die persnliche Sitzhaltung am Schreibtisch.
Der niedrige Energieverbrauch rundet das beraus positive Gesamtbild ab. #
Fazit: Ein super Monitor, der keine Wnsche offenlsst !
Great for office staff, not so great for gaming
I have 3 devices to plug into this monitor: my work MacBook 16, gaming laptop and PS5.
For working on MacBook, it is perfect. I give here 5 stars. It is only one cable for charging, video output, connecting keyboard and mouse. It provides good text clarity, but not the best possible, probably because 28″ is a little too big for 4K. I had previously old Dell 27″ 4K, and it was perfect. Also, it gives HDR out of the box and 10-bit colours on each channel.
For gaming on PC, I give it 3.5 stars. I have a laptop with GeForce 2070, and it has DisplayPort 1.4 over USB-C (Thunderbolt) and HDMI 2.0. It turned out (well, it was in specs, actually) monitor have only DisplayPort 1.2 (!), which do not support HDR officially. I had a lot of trouble getting it right.
There are two options for me in this setup: use USB-C to USB-C connection, and I have no trouble with rewiring the keyboard and mouse (they are still connected to the monitor), but there are many troubles with HDR. For some reason, HDR can be turned on in Windows 10. I do not know why because there is no such thing DP 1.2 specs. But anyway, when I am turning on HDR, setting 10-bit RGB, everything seems fine until I’ll start some game, and it immediately resets to 6-bit (!) with awful colour banding. Colour banding is when you see clear colour steps in gradients, like back in 1995. I can switch from RBG (native) to YCbCr 4:4:4 (it is a colour compression method), but I get limited colour, and I see colour banding as well, but not so bad as if it was on 6 bit. So after killing a lot of time on it, I decided to turn off HDR in Windows and enjoy 8 bit RGB with a Photo colour profile. Sometimes I select YCbCr 4:4:4 10 bit + HDR because it is a bit better in darker games, but as I said this options gives noticeable color banding.
Another option for gaming PC is to hook up HDMI. It works well on HDR 8-bit RGB, but I have to manually reconnect the mouse and keyboard from monitor to laptop. I hate wires on a desk and all this manual switching, so it is not for me. Maybe I’ll make up something for this later.
By the way, there is no official G-SYNC support (only AMD FreeSync). Although Nvidia Control Panel allows to turn on G-SYNC, it’s just not working. I see awful screen tearing in games, so I turned on VSYNC in games (it’s like a software solution to screen tearing problem, but not so efficient). There is such an option for DisplayPort connection, but HDMI lucks it.
And the last one is PS5, and the monitor gets 5 stars here. HDR looks amazing, true 4K. I cannot complain here. Also, I bought a 5wt soundbar (costs around 20 quids) and connected it to the monitor. This setup gives decent sound for PS 5 games.
So I guess this is just the best option for its price for me. Better solutions in terms of PC gaming starts from 800 quids (if you need 4K), that is not I’m ready spend now. I’ll wait until OLED or mini-LED monitors will become affordable for better HDR experience.
Con este monitor (HP M34D) he pasado de una configuracin de monitor doble (sujetados con brazo y ajustables, uno era un HP Z24N IPS , otro Philips de 27″ con pantalla curva), a un setup de nico monitor. Esto me ha ayudado a mejorar el foco en el trabajo. Adems, los juegos se ven increbles. Se nota que es un buen monitor.
Tengo conectado un porttil por USB-C (con vdeo), y un ordenador de sobremesa por Display-port, lo que me permite alcanzar 100Hz en el ordenador conectado por display port, 60 HZ en el de USB-C.
Me ha sorprendido la calidad del negro, los colores ms que correctos, y la funcionalidad KVM:
– Con KVM ahora puedo usar los dispositivos USB (teclado / ratn / trackball) en los dos ordenadores, en funcin de cul estoy usando. He configurado los botones del monitor para seleccionar rpidamente la seal de vdeo de entre los dos ordenadores, y otro botn ara seleccionar a qu ordenador se asignan los puertos USB.
La pantalla curva siempre ayuda a relajar la vista (al habituarse es definitivamente ms cmodo), a la vez mejorar concentracin en el trabajo, y a jugar de forma realmente inmersiva.
Tambin se pueden ver dos seales de monitor a la vez (funcin “PBP”), una imagen de ordenador al lado de la del otro ordenador, pero creo ms rpido y mejor es configurar los botones, e ir cambiando segn qu ordenador se necesita usar en cada momento.
Bought this to help me manage my screen/windows much better – 27 inches is the perfect size for this! Can have multiple windows open without having to scrunch them up. Image quality is pretty decent, does feel slightly grainy but maybe that because I’m using this at a desk so I’m too close? All in all though, its a decent, solid screen that delivers what I need.
Excellent for everyday use. Value for money.
This is a very affordable Full HD Monitor that would be ideal for those seeking a simple yet good quality monitor for everyday use.
This is a 27″ monitor by HP with a 1080p resolution and really sleek, modern design. The monitor doesn’t take up a lot of room on my desk yet still provides excellent quality images. It is also very easy to set up. You connect it up to your PC tower and you plug it into the wall. In my case, all it took was a HDMI cable and the plug cable and I was ready to go.
A nice feature, is the fact that the screen can be tilted backward and forward so you can achieve a comfortable position for your needs. I keep mine tilted back slightly which works great for writing.
This is definitely designed to be an everyday, simple monitor. The price is excellent for the quality and it is very easy to set up. If you want to do graphic design, there are definitely better monitors out there that could even support 4k for maximum resolution but, as 1080p HD monitors go, this is a very, very good one.
The only (minor) downside to this monitor, was the fact that it arrived with a European plug so I had to buy an adapter to plug it in here in the UK. However, it could just be due to the fact that I received the item as a ‘review’ item. Despite that, I have been using this monitor daily together with the EU-UK plug adapter and it was worked wonderfully well.
Does the job
It is exactly what it says it can do . 60hz 27 inch monitor. i personally use as a side monitor with a 144 hz as the main.
Great quality
I am so glad I chose this monitor, working from home I needed a good picture quality and perfect screen, I am not sure about gaming but I’d imagine this screen would be good because I work with photos and numbers and they are perfect.
The older model started failing after 5 years or so. Failure mode was the bottom of the screen started a black-creeping thing, which started suddenly, then progressed over a week or so to become a real issue. So no long slow death, just a rapid reminder to replace.
As with the older model, great value for money. Non-relective and great picture quality.
The old version had been used for perhaps 8hrs a day, 24/7/365.
Would definitely seek out this product in the future, perhaps 5 yrs from now.
A Really Good Everyday Monitor (for me)
I use this as my everyday monitor as well as for casual gaming and it’s absolutely fine. Useful additional ports, good options and it works well for my needs. It’s a handy size and I’d happily buy a second one to work as a side-by-side monitor.
For me, it has been a good purchase.
Upon opening the box, you are greeted with the 27″monitor itself, one HDMI cable, the Manual, the base and a power cord. There are no screws, it just all clicks into place in order to set it up.
There is no height adjustment and also no swivel. There is tilt adjustment but let’s face it, if it had all that adjustment the monitor would be more expensive and once you have it in place you don’t move it anyway. It also has Vesa mount ability at 100 X 100.
The monitor looks smart with slim bezels and a small HP logo at the front. The stand itself is circular and quite small.
The only ports at the back of the monitor consist of 1 X HDMI port and 1 X VGA port which I didn’t know why they added as hardly anyone uses VGA anymore but maybe this was a move to keep the monitor costs low and there is also NO USB Ports.
When unboxed and set up, the HP27e weighs 4.5Kgms roughly, which is lightweight compared to my 25″ Dell.
Upon switching on, you have a 5 button system underneath the right hand corner which is surprisingly simple to use unlike some of the rest of the monitors I worked with but alas no joystick button here.
It has 4 levels of response time level which are,
Level 1
Level 2 “Fast”
Level 3
Level 4 “Fastest”
I haven’t got the equipment to test these but no doubt lvl 4 would be the worst for ghosting just to achieve the 5ms response time as do all monitors.
The monitor has NOT GOT AMD Freesync OR Nvidia G-Sync.
I did however run the Spyder 5 Elite Calibration software on the HP 27e and here is the results I got in regards of colour but each monitor will vary slightly.
sRGB = 90%
NTSC = 75%
AdobeRGB = 77%
P3 = 76%
Also I found this panel I tested had NO Back Bleed what so ever.
It has also all the usual offerings “as seen from the image but I report on each one it would get tp the point you would no longer read the review as it would be to long but I will report, this HP 27e monitor is a 60HZ monitor and is 8bit, so you must ask yourself who is it for?
Is it for the casual worker that just needs a monitor and also light gaming and who takes the odd photo and using Photoshop, then I would say yes. This HP 27e IS NOT a high end gaming monitor “hence the price”. A 27″ monitor at 149.99 at time of writing “26/04/21” isn’t bad to be fair but you get what you pay for. It still looks good and modern and is for the everyday person just looking for a low cost monitor. My other Monitor is thee Hp Omen 27i 165hz at just over 3 times the price but I need it for work.
I hope I gave you some info into the HP 27e and the review was helpful in some way into making your mind up on buying it.
The picture quality is pretty good – it’s not going to blow you away. The blacks are dark but not deep, the colours are bright but don’t ‘pop’. If youre looking for a monitor to work on – this is an easy reccomendation.
It will certainly play media with no issue, it’s clean and crisp enough for a casual viewer. But if you’re big into your movies and such, it may be a little bit underwhelming.
All in all, I think if you’re looking for a monitor at this price range, your expectations should be less than a Samsung oled or quantum dot or whatever their latest ‘mind blowing’ displays are called now. But honestly, I don’t think you can expect any better than this monitor at this price.
It’s big, it’s a good display, it’s plug and play and will be a picture more than satisfying for all but the most demanding. For those who are shopping at this price range, for me at least, the most important thing is that I’m buying something that works well, nothing dodgy from some dodgy brand with big claims on suspect specs. This is a solid choice that I can’t imagine anyone is going to regret – reccomended!
Great monitor that is crystal clea
Ordered this as an additional monitor for the laptop. Stand easily went together and the screen clarity is beautifully clear. Not a huge monitor but it fits perfectly on our small office desk.
What's not to like....
Arrived about an hour ago….got it unboxed and set up in minutes. The extra size, compared to my old monitor, is great. My photos really look so much better….the colours are vibrant and sharp. Really happy with this! Photo editing will no be so much more pleasurable!
Good quality
Considering the price it’s a great monitor. Colours are good, response time isn’t as sluggish as some other budget monitors I’ve used before. The best thing is the minimal bezel, makes it a great companion monitor for a more slick primary screen.
I wanted this monitor to use with photoshop and Lightroom for processing my images from a Canon DSLR. I also chose it for having a USBC outlet so I can use a single cable from my MacBook Pro for charging and video. The screen quality is excellent and the bezel is very slim – although the bottom of the screen has a larger bezel – which accommodates the connections. (at the back) and the on off and power management. The stand is lovely – very easy to set up and allow to move between Landscape and portrait with a simple turn on the screen. I haven’t given it 5 stars as the USBC connection was difficult to get going – for some reason my MacBook would charge but not display without a number of reboots. It also only outputs a maximum of 65W which is below the 90W recommended for the MacBook. However, I don’t seem to have had any power issues, although I haven’t yet done any power processing on 4k video. I cannot comment on gaming – as I don’t do any!
The monitor is excellent. I would have given it 5*.
But there is a general issue with 4K monitors I had not appreciated.
This 28″ monitor replaced a 27″ apple thunderbolt monitor of lesser resolution.
At 4K everything becomes tiny on screen and text, particularly below icons, is almost unreadable, even wearing my glasses made specifically for working on a monitor.
The only work around is to lower the resolution of the monitor in your computer settings. It’s cheaper just to buy a lower resolution monitor. It used to be possible to scale system text and icons, but no longer.
I think 4K would need at least a 32″ monitor, and more likely 36″ to really take advantage of the resolution.
Best Low budget 4k monitor for gaming
I’ve had few 4k monitors which where very poor HDR quality but this one I beast! Screen quality and image sharpnes is perfect, it has a certified HDR 400, and even when hdr is on you can still change a image sharpnes.
gaming
his is a really good monitor, When I got it it was really easy to setup and it has a really sharp clear image would recommend for gaming and other uses.
Beautiful design ultra light, very big extremely recommended for movies/ videos. Good material ! It is very basic, only one HDMI and no USB port , but I only need it to project videos with my smartphone through a dongle, so it doesn’t matter. I am very satisfied with it!
I hope I’ll get the dongle soon to see how is the graphic.
I am using the HP U28 4k monitor with a Mac Book Pro, connected via USB C (with power delivery for charging) and with the monitor acting as a hub, including ethernet connect via an Anker USB A to ethernet adapter.
I rejected the BENQ PD3220U which has additional ports, but costs twice as much as HP’s U28 and is unable to produce the 400 nits brightness which makes the 50% cheaper model so attractive.
I simply cannot fault the HP U28. Everything works like a dream: wake for sleep (all ports react as expected, though it took a while to find the correct setting), picture quality and stand. The product is available with teacher/student discount and for just 20 you have a comprehensive three-year warranty. What’s not to like…?
Purchased at 189.99 on a deal and the score is based on paying that price. For a 4K 28 monitor from a known brand i’m not sure you’ll find any better.
Purchased for a gaming PC and although limited to 60hz (i’m not an FPS freak) it does the job ok. Freesync works with my Nvidia RTX3070 so it’s a smooth 60FPS.
Definition of blacks is where this monitor isn’t that great, they can be washed out and the gradient between black to grey to white is defined, a downside of TN displays, other than that picture quality is good.
if you want 4K video at 60hz make sure you connect via Display port and not HDMI as they HDMI port is the old standard.
At 189.99 it’s a bargain, make your own mind up at 299 though.
Great monitor for the price, I needed one for lock down and this seemed like a good option and it really was.
Great for what I do, design/branding during the day awesome for 4K films on weekends.
No lag time from the MacBook Pro to the monitor.
Worth i
Lovely big monitor, bargain really
Great monitor. Thin frame round the sides and top. Mounted easily to the desk arm thingy I bought for it. Sensible-sized buttons under the frame. Slightly wider than I’d imagined, which is even better 🙂 Nice and clear text – perfect for coding. A lot better than the one I’ve got at work – perfect for working from home 🙂 All for 100. Perfect really. Did I mention it’s perfect?
Globalement satisfait de l’cran car il est conforme ce que j’en attendais: 27 pouces, 4k, 2 entres (hdmi et Dp) avec dtection automatique de l’entre, haut-parleurs intgrs corrects, esthtique, lgant avec bords fins et accessoire pour fixation murale , qualit d’image conforme la description.
Par contre: je n’ai pas russi utiliser l’affichage wireless . Il n’y pas de documentation dtaille en ligne. Je ne comprends pas bien l’utilit des connecteurs usb derrire l’cran.
I bought this monitor because another one was out of stock and I needed one fairly quickly, and I’m really happy with it – crystal clear, great contrast, dynamic, easy to install.
This purchase was to replace my beloved Asus VE278H 27-inch, bought in 2013, which gave up the ghost recently. This replacement is a 28 inch, which may be a mistake for what I use it for – mainly office work. I have to put the monitor a long way away, about 65cms. I’m finding the screen is still a bit too big and bright to work on documents comfortably. Perhaps I should have bought the 27 in version, which I see is considerably cheaper. The 28 screen is pretty good, almost too bright, for videos and photos but the colours seem a bit pale compared to the Asus.
