27-inch QHD gaming display

The HP OMEN 27q is a 27-inch QHD gaming monitor built for competitive players who want high refresh rates and accurate colour. Its IPS panel delivers 16.7 million colours with 99% sRGB and 95% DCI-P3 coverage. The 16:9 aspect ratio suits standard gaming and media layouts. An anti-glare coating and edge-lit backlight keep reflections low during long sessions.

165 Hz refresh rate with FreeSync Premium

The single specification that decides fit is the 165 Hz maximum refresh rate paired with AMD FreeSync Premium adaptive sync. This combination eliminates tearing and stutter when the graphics card can push frames above 100 fps. If your system rarely exceeds 60 fps, the extra headroom goes unused. Buyers who need a higher refresh ceiling or G-Sync certification should look elsewhere.

Consistent brightness and response under load

Sustained gaming sessions hold the 400 cd/m² brightness and 1 ms response time without the panel dimming or ghosting. The 1000:1 contrast ratio remains stable across the 178-degree viewing angles. Heat from the edge-lit backlight is distributed evenly, so colour accuracy does not drift during extended play. The stand offers height, pivot and tilt adjustment to maintain ergonomics over hours of use.

Questions about this item

How does the 165 Hz refresh rate feel once the monitor is connected to a gaming PC?

At 165 Hz the panel shows up to 165 frames each second, so fast motion in shooters or racing titles looks smoother than on a standard 60 Hz screen.

What does FreeSync Premium actually limit in everyday use?

FreeSync Premium synchronises the display refresh to the GPU output, removing screen tearing and stutter across the variable refresh range supported by the graphics card.

What does the 100 mm VESA pattern mean for mounting this 27 inch monitor?

The 100 mm x 100 mm VESA holes let you attach the monitor to any compatible arm, wall bracket or desk stand that uses the same spacing.
