Hp 27f 27 Ips Led Fhd Freesync Monitor Review

Test Results

Design

Curved No

Curve Radius Not Curved

Weight (without stand) 7.1 lbs (three.2 kg)

Weight (with stand) 8.2 lbs (iii.vii kg)

Width 9.2" (23.4 cm)

Depth vii.9" (20.1 cm)

The stand is fixed and has a modest overall footprint. Information technology doesn't back up the monitor very well, and the monitor wobbles a lot when nudged.

Meridian Aligning 0.0" (0.0 cm)

Switch Portrait/Landscape No

Swivel Range No swivel

Tilt Range -vii.5° to 20°

Update 07/02/2021: We previously had incorrectly listed the Acme Adjustment every bit 'N/A' as opposed to '0'. The review has been updated to reflect this alter, equally the Ergonomics score has dropped slightly.

The HP 27f has a fixed stand that can simply tilt. There is no height adjustment, and it tin can't swivel or rotate.

Wall Mount No Mountain

The back is very simple, with only a slight silhouette of the HP logo. All of the inputs face out of the back, and unfortunately, it tin't be VESA-mounted. There'southward as well no cablevision direction.

Borders 0.iii" (0.8 cm)

The borders are very thin, and they look keen.

Thickness (with stand up) 5.4" (thirteen.7 cm)

Thickness (without stand up) 2.6" (6.vi cm)

The HP 27f looks great when viewed edge-on. The stand up extends almost 3" behind the screen, preventing the monitor from beingness placed close to a wall.

The HP 27f has decent build quality. The monitor itself is well-built, but the stand does have some issues. Information technology isn't very solid, and doesn't back up the brandish well; even the affect from typing causes the monitor to wobble significantly. Overall, information technology's similar to the HP 27Q, but the stand is slightly worse.

There'south no local dimming feature on this monitor. The video is for reference only.

The HP 27f has decent horizontal viewing angles, typical for IPS monitors. Colors remain accurate up to virtually 40°, and and so they chop-chop oversaturate. The brightness drops gradually equally you motion abroad from the centre but remains within acceptable limits up to 47°, and the black levels remain accurate at any viewing angle.

Out-of-the-box, the HP 27f has slap-up accuracy. The white residual is excellent, with very few problems. Colour accurateness is skillful, but there are small inaccuracies in most every colour, although they are minor plenty that most people won't discover them. Gamma doesn't follow the target bend, with some scenes over brightened, and some over darkened.

In the wider Adobe RGB color space, information technology has good colour volume. Similar with s.RGB, it is limited by the mediocre dissimilarity ratio, and then it tin't produce deep, dark colors very well.

Update 01/xv/2019: Unfortunately, the HP 27F does not support NVIDIA'south FreeSync implementation, as it doesn't have a DisplayPort connexion, which is required.

At the native resolution of 1080p, the HP 27f has a decent 75Hz refresh rate. At non-native resolutions, but 60Hz is supported. This shouldn't be an issue for almost people though, as about graphics cards volition upscale without you even knowing. Many websites advertise the HP 27f as a 60Hz monitor, only 75Hz is supported out of the box with no boosted steps, and it is fully supported with no dropped frames. On NVIDIA cards, the 1920x1080 resolution must be selected from the listing of 'PC' resolutions in the NVIDIA Control Panel.

It supports FreeSync over HDMI, which is bully. To enable FreeSync, select the 'Gaming - FreeSync' Moving-picture show Mode.

Fantabulous low input lag, great for coincidental gamers. The non-native resolution was tested at 60Hz, as that is the just refresh rate available in not-native resolutions. The input lag is much better than the HP 27Q.

The HP 27f has a peachy 27" screen, which allows you to see more fine details in your piece of work, but the 1080p resolution may be limiting to some people. It doesn't provide a very immersive gaming experience, and information technology isn't ideal for multitasking.

If you want a like monitor with a higher resolution, check out the Dell S2721D.

The HP 27f has very few boosted features. It does not support HDR, and has no congenital-in speakers. There are a few image adjustment options that tin assist when gaming, including:

• Dynamic Contrast: Automatically adjusts the dissimilarity on a per-scene basis.
• Black Stretch: Adjusts the gamma to make dark objects in dark scenes easier to spot, similar to the Blackness Stabilization characteristic plant on other monitors.

The controls are like shooting fish in a barrel to use and provide decent tactile feedback.

• Proprietary power adapter
• Transmission
• HDMI cablevision

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

Nosotros tested the 27" 27fw 3KS64AA, and information technology is too bachelor in 22", 23", 24", and 25" models. Nosotros don't know what other differences there may be for the other sizes, and nosotros don't know if our review is representative of these sizes.

Update 03/eighteen/2019:The product SKU listed was incorrect, it was for the 27f model (2XN62AA).

Update 09/25/2019: There's an international variant of the 27fw, production code 4TB31AA. We don't know if information technology performs the same, only information technology does have built-in speakers.

The HP 27fw is also known as the 27f. The simply difference is the colour of the back console. The HP 27f has a black back, the 27fw has a white back.

If someone comes across a different type of panel or if their HP 27fw doesn't correspond to our review, let us know and nosotros will update the review. Note that some tests such as the gray uniformity may vary between private units.

Model	Size	Resolution	Refresh Rate	Notes
22f	22"	1920x1080	75Hz	FreeSync
23f	23"	1920x1080	75Hz	FreeSync
24f	24"	1920x1080	75Hz	FreeSync
25f	25"	1920x1080	75Hz	FreeSync
27fw	27"	1920x1080	75Hz	FreeSync, White Dorsum
27f	27"	1920x1080	75Hz	FreeSync, Black Back
27Q	27"	2560x1440	60Hz	FreeSync

The 27fw we tested was manufactured in July 2018.

Compared To Other Monitors

The HP 27f is a decent upkeep monitor with great gaming features. See our recommendations for the best monitors under $200, the best upkeep gaming monitors, and the best gaming monitors nether $200.

For most uses, the Dell S2721D is amend than the HP 27F. The Dell has a college resolution, a better color gamut, and it gets brighter. However, the HP has wider viewing angles, better color accuracy, and faster response time when running at its maximum refresh rate.

The HP 27F is slightly better than the HP 27Q. The 27F has a slightly faster refresh charge per unit, and much lower input lag, great for gaming. The HP 27Q has a better 2560x1440 resolution, which allows you to come across more than fine details in games, and makes it easier to multitask.

The Dell P2417H is a bit better than the HP 27F. The P2417H is a slightly smaller screen with a 60Hz refresh rate, and no VRR support, but it has significantly ameliorate ergonomics, making information technology easier to place in an optimal viewing position, or for a multi-monitor setup. The P2417H is also more versatile than the HP 27F, with HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA connections, and information technology can exist used equally a USB hub.

The HP 27F is overall much better than the MSI Optix G27C for well-nigh uses. The 27F has an IPS panel, so the epitome remains authentic when viewed at an angle, neat for quick co-op gaming sessions, or for sharing your piece of work with a nearby coworker. The 27F also has much ameliorate dark room performance. For gamers, information technology depends on what's the most important thing to y'all, as the G27C has a much faster refresh rate and wider VRR range.

The HP 27F and the Samsung CF398 use unlike types of panels, each with their strengths and weaknesses. The 27F has an IPS panel, and then the image remains accurate when viewed at an angle. The CF398 has a VA panel, and it delivers meliorate overall dark room performance. The HP 27F as well has a slightly faster refresh charge per unit, although it isn't a significant difference.

The HP 27F is amend than the ASUS MX279HS. The HP has a higher refresh charge per unit for smoother motility and supports FreeSync for most tear-free gaming. Besides, blacks appear more than uniform on the HP 27F when in a dark room.

Overall, the Acer Nitro RG241Y Pbiipx is improve than the HP 27F. The Acer has a significantly faster response fourth dimension, a higher refresh charge per unit, and a Blackness Frame Insertion feature to improve motion clarity. Even so, the HP has wider viewing angles and improve accuracy out of the box.
