If you’re in the market for a PC gaming monitor, HP is preparing seven new sub-$500 products.
They’re part of the HP X Series gaming monitor lineup, and several models are already available for order on the company’s website. The rest will arrive in the coming weeks and months.
All seven monitors feature a 165Hz refresh rate, a 1-millisecond response time, and AMD’s FreeSync Premium technology to prevent screen-tearing during gaming sessions. The monitors also feature HP’s “Eye Ease with EyeSafe Certification,” meaning they emit less blue light.
The most expensive model is the X34, which lands in September for $459. The 34-inch monitor features a flat, ultra-wide screen with a 3,440-by-1,440-resolution for a 21:9 aspect ratio. The product itself uses an IPS panel with HDR 400 support.
If the ultra-widescreen is too much, HP created the X32, a 2,560-by-1,440 monitor with a more traditional 16:9 aspect ratio. The 31.5-inch monitor will arrive later this month for $389.
The company also created three monitors with curved screens. The X27c is a 27-inch 1080p monitor for $259. To upgrade the resolution to 1440p, the X27qc will set you back $349.
For a bigger curved screen, HP is preparing the X32c, a 31.5-inch 1080p monitor.
All three models use VA panels, which offer a higher color contrast over an IPS panel, but a narrow viewing angle. The trio of monitors will launch in October.
The two products now up for sale are the HP X27, a $259 monitor with a 1080p resolution, and the HP X27q, which costs more at $339, but bumps the resolution up to 1440p and contains HDR 400 support. Both are also flat-screen monitors.
All seven products come with an adjustable stand that can change the display’s height and tilt. The X27 and X27q models have a stand that can also rotate the display vertically.
