27" HP 27mx gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

The HP 27mx has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The monitor has a VESA mount. For the average response rate, the HP 27mx scores 1.5 ms, which ensures effective synchronization with the high refresh rate. The minimum response rate of HP 27mx is 1 ms, which is eliminates ghosting effects. The brightness of HP 27mx is significantly better than other monitors. The HP 27mx is a relatively new monitor. HP 27mx has a total input lag of 16.5 ms, which is bad among the competition. The monitor uses a TN panel which suffers from color shifting when viewed from horizontal and vertical angles and has slightly washed colors compared to IPS and VA panels. Graphically demanding games may cause frame drops outside the adative refresh rate of 50 Hz. In terms of pixel density, the HP 27mx has an low density of 81 pixels-per-inch, resulting in pixelated text and picture quality. For graphics color quality, the HP 27mx has an average color depth of 6 -bit, resulting in dithered gradients and more slightly less accurate colors. The HP 27mx has a maximum refresh rate of 76 Hz and this may be too low for the extremely fast frame rates in competitive games. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1.
