Our Verdict
HP X27q
HP OMEN 27q
The HP OMEN 27q is a newer monitor than the HP X27q, and they have many similarities, including their 1440p resolution and 165Hz refresh rate. There are some differences, as the 27q has an sRGB picture mode, which the X27q doesn't have, allowing better accuracy before calibration. The 27q also displays a wider range of HDR colors, but both monitors have limited HDR performance anyway. In terms of gaming, the 27q has better motion handling at high refresh rates, but there aren't many differences besides that.
