In terms of pixel density, the HP 27c has an excellent density of 110 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. The HP 27c has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The monitor has a VESA mount. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. To compensate for graphically demanding games, the HP 27c has a very good low end adaptive refresh rate of 20 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. The HP 27c is a relatively new monitor. For the extremely fast frame rates, the HP 27c has a maximum refresh rate of 240 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. HP 27c has an excellent contrast ratio of 2402 : 1.

For graphics color quality, the HP 27c has an excellent color depth of 10 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. The minimum response rate of HP 27c is 5.8 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. The brightness of HP 27c is lower than other monitors. For the average response rate, the HP 27c scores 12 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate. HP 27c has a total input lag of 21.5 ms, which is bad among the competition.
