About this deal

Unlike some of its competitors, it also includes a regular RGB subpixel layout, so text clarity is crystal clear. Information about whether the stand can be dismounted. Usually, this is required for wall mounting. Alright, so the MateView GT isn’t quite as cheap as the other entries on this list. By ultrawide gaming monitor standards, however, it’s miraculously inexpensive, especially when you consider that it goes beyond the minimum to offer a USB-C port and a built-in soundbar complete with LED lighting. Performance is excellent, too: this monitor produced accurate results in sRGB mode and covered a decent portion of the DCI-P3 colour gamut to boot. Thanks to its VA panel, the MateView GT managed to produce a peak contrast in SDR of around 4,500:1, and although this panel tech does produce a bit of ghosting the overall effect is remarkable. Games look and run great – though we’d recommend avoiding the HDR mode. Approximate diagonal size of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen.

The storage temperature shows the range from a minimum to a maximum temperature, within which storing of the display is considered to be safe. The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC. Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.Information about the maximum vertical viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. Compared to other monitors all using their highest refresh rate and optimized overdrive settings, the HP X27q performs quite well. The monitor is able to deliver a similar experience to products like the Dell S2721DGF, which we've recommended as a budget 1440p monitor in the past. The storage humidity shows the lower and upper humidity limit, which ensures safe storage of the display. Storing it outside these limits might damage the display. However. there is no inverse ghosting present, as there is no overshoot, typical of settings where overdrive is not used. Cumulative deviation is only modest, suggesting the balance between response times and overshoot is unbalanced in favor of minimizing overshoot.

There are various panel technologies. Each has its own specific features - viewing angles, color reproduction, response time, brightness/contrast, production cost, etc. The image quality depends directly on the type of the display panel used. It's also not that different from products like the Pixio PX277 Pro, given the differences in inverse ghosting performance. Another product we often recommend is the Gigabyte M27Q, and the HP X27q we feel delivers the better experience. On the subject of colours: the X27qc isn’t the most accurate monitor in the world, which I’ll discuss later on, but it certainly scored well for colour gamut coverage. In its default “gaming” mode – and in fact in most other colour presets – the X27qc produced 116% of the sRGB colour space, 82.7% of the DCI-P3 colour space and 80.4% of the Adobe RGB colour space. These are decent figures for a cheap gaming monitor with no HDR aspirations. In real terms, they simply mean that the X27qc doesn’t produce quite such a vibrant image when compared to panels with 90% or higher DCI-P3/Adobe RGB coverage.The operating humidity shows the acceptable level of humidity, in which the display will function flawlessly. It sets a lower and an upper humidity level for safe operation and is measured in percentage. In the past, Twisted Nematic ( TN) was the only panel type a gamer would have considered: it’s not just the cheapest tech on the market, it also boasts the fastest response time. However, rival technologies such as Vertical Alignment ( VA) and In-Plane Switching ( IPS), once avoided for their slow response times, are now considered to be an excellent choice for gamers.
