High quality secondary monitor
The new HP Z27n monitor is beautifully designed and works great as a second monitor for my laptop. I'm working from home more these days and the extra screen area is so nice. Although I had a bit of trouble getting it to sync with my macbook pro, I did eventually figure it out and the picture resolution is great. The sleek black design makes the monitor look great and the functionality of the screen swiveling back and forth and up and down, allows me to perfectly position it with ease. I'm pleased with HP's new monitor and would highly recommend it for the majority of needs.

Beautifully designed monitor
First off, I love how this monitor looks sitting on my desk. It has a super elegant and sleek profile and looks gorgeous. I also love how much range this has when adjusting the position of the screen. It is really easy to move up, down, left, and right. A lot of my past screens had barely any range of motion, and I have been surprised by how much I like having this. Now to the screen. 27 inches i a perfect size. I personally have two of these monitors side-by-side and love it. The quality is really good as well. I work in we design and so the quality makes a big difference for me.

Superior Display
This monitor is a total immersive experience. From set up to use, this monitor is very straight forward and simple but yet highly technical. Vivid clear screen that makes you feel apart of the action. Large enough to display a streaming movie or a work on a spreadsheet with no eye strain. At 5ms refresh rate, fast enough to fit in a quick game with no lag. Even better, the monitor not only adjust up and down but it offers a tilt from left to right so you always have the perfect view. Highly recommend this monitor for work or home.

Looks great!
I'm so happy with this monitor! It's got a very sleek appearance and feels sturdy on my desk. It tilts, swivels, and raises/lowers quite a lot so you can get the perfect ergonomics for your situation. The picture is sharp, the colors are good right out of the box, and it has easily accessible controls for adjusting everything to your liking. This has been perfect for working from home and having a larger screen to work with than my little laptop!

Very Large Screen, Great For Designers
This monitor is very impressive. The large screen size is perfect to use when I am working. I am a graphic designer and this screen makes doing projects so much easier. I can clearly see every detail of my design work and the large screen size is a plus. The color is on point and what I am mirroring from my laptop look fantastic. What feature I really like about this monitor is how easy it maneuvers. It can be tilted from horizontal to vertical, raise or lower the height and swivel from side to side. What I do wish was included with this monitor are paper instructions. All the instructions are online but I want a physical copy. Putting the monitor onto the stand is very easy to do and the stand is very secure. I like how you can feed the cables through the stand to manage cords easier. The setup is very easy when I was connecting my MacBook Pro to the monitor. The monitor itself has several settings so you can customize the screens appearance. This is a great, high quality monitor. Highly recommend for all designers.

Cant beat the quality for the price
This is simply a great monitor. I do some creative design work as a part of my job, so color accuracy and resolution quality are paramount. The color accuracy is spot on and the picture is stunning! I have the HP Z27 as well (the 4k version of this, with a few additional bonus features) and this is right on par, quality wise. For a $300-$350 price point, this display can't be beat.
It has 1 HDMI 1.4 input, and 1 Displayport 1.2 input. Additionally, there are 3 USB 3.0 ports should you decide to use the upstream USB-C port (which I highly recommend) and you can even daisy-chain monitors via the Displayport in/out ports.
Overall, I highly recommend this monitor if you're looking for a color accurate display on a budget!

Excellent Work-from-Home Upgrade!
My husband has been in the IT field for coming up on 15 years and myself in blogging and photography for almost four years . A good monitor is worth the price in terms of quality of life at work and productivity to get the job done. The HP Z27N G2 is a welcome addition to our home desk especially while working from home. It’s sitting alongside a (nearly identical) monitor and has effectively doubled the working area. Setup was quick and simple. Just a few minutes out of the box, it was put together (stand is preassembled, just have to click into place) and ready for cabling. The monitor itself has an impressive selection of ports for USB3.0, USB Type C (Video and Data), HDMI, Display Port, DVI and a 3.5MM Audio jack. This allowed us to easily hookup our laptop to both monitors and away it went. In terms of features within the monitor display, I found all of the standard features I’ve come to expect to be there: brightness, contrast, color profiles, power options and more. The image is clear and the display is responsive when working with multimedia files. The only hangup, and it’s quite minor, is that the stand’s height adjustment isn’t as tight as others I’ve used when sliding up and down there’s a bit of play and the monitor will wiggle a bit. Again, it’s very minor, but something to consider if you’ll be constantly moving the height and rotating it up to 90 degrees. Overall, this monitor is a great upgrade and a welcome addition to our daily grind!

Good product- not seamless
Works well. It was not "plug & play" as I was told by HP for my Mac. Also, even after getting the additional required hardware, getting past the "virtual assistant" who wasn't helpful, to an actual human voice was more involved than it should have been

Beautiful and fully functional monitor
Absolutely gorgeous picture and brightness right out of the box. Performing exactly as expected and comes for good features and ports (including USB-C). I've been using it mainly for working from home but have also watched some streaming videos on it with excellent results - crystal clear picture and refresh rate.

I am absolutely wowed by this monitor!!
Just when I thought design and functionality could not get more seamless and efficient, I get surprised by this gem of technology. It features an anti-glare panel resolution of 2560 x 1440 at 60 Hz and it just has mind boggling crisp and clear imagery. It's super compatible with plenty of ports and very versatile. I'm wholeheartedly delighted!!

Great Monitor to have with some caveats
This is a great all-round monitor to have to connect to multiple sources (two desktops, cable, video-game console, etc).
Quality screen, adjustable heights, rotational view and so on.
The caveats to know that wasn't clear when purchasing:
- You need to buy a speaker (if you don't have any) to connect to the monitor
- As described when buying there's only 1 HDMI port, 1 Display port and 1 mini display port and a USB-C port. It comes with some cords to use but depending on what you're connecting to the monitor, you may need to get an adapter or another cord. (SO BE PREPARED FOR THAT.)

Great entry level monitor.
I purchased this monitor as an external display. This monitor is a great entry level purchase for someone looking to start out.
The only draw back is there are no speakers on this monitor, but other than that the monitor is built well. Plenty of ports: thunderbolt (with wattage needed to charge your laptop), usb, usb-c.

Totally solid 4K monitor for use with MacBook Air.
I only bought this because Apple doesn't make a decent, quality monitor, and it is working great, keeping my laptop charged and my USB accessories accessible. Nice!

It’s great value in every way. I was especially pleased with it arriving more than a week earlier than expected. I’m thoroughly enjoying the screen size and its superb quality. Thank you, HP!

Display is crisp integration with Mac is weak
I would like the monitor to easily be managed from inside the Mac and instead have to use the controls on the display which is an archaic approach to monitor settings.

Look no further!
Like the title says look no further! Because this is the missing piece you been looking for to add to your system! With the sleek style straight out of the box with complete your system. The 4k resolution you will see everything clear with this 27 inch HD monitor. The Usb-c is a clutter free life saving device with one cord to power all your needs. The set up is very simple and only take couple of minutes which is a plus. The color on the screen is just amazing so I wouldnt look no futher just order it you won't be disappointed. You will also be able to adjust the height and tilt that fits each user needs.

Seems well made and it works well.
The monitor seems well made and it works quite well. It was also able to keep my laptop properly powered which was nice.
I do wish the brighness could be controlled by the connected computer. I've got a chromebox hooked up now and the brighness slider in the OS does nothing.

Many features!
This monitor was really easy to hook up. It's basically plug and play. After using for a few weeks, the monitor seems bigger than a 27" display. It's simple to use with multiple windows. It has multiple display options, and an awesome refresh rate. The stand is adjustable for good ergonomics. It comes with DVI, VGA, display port, HDMI, and USB ports. It comes with a power cord, HDMI, USB to USB C. I am using with the HDMI. The USB to USB C can be used for display. Comes with Samsund Dex so can use your phone, or other device for display. I am 100% satisfied.

Massive screen, tricky set up
I purchased this screen recently and I am still waiting on the accompanying CPU. A few things I noted when I received this screen are the massive size (which I need, I am going to be using this for fairly intricate design work, so a larger screen is preferred to prevent eye strain). I haven't gotten to hook this up to a computer yet because I am still waiting on a Z4 unit to arrive, but I can say that it shipped quickly. I did note that attaching the monitor to the base was a bit tricky (even though the illustrations on the instructions make it seem fairly straightforward). I also noted that there is no webcam included in this model (which is a detail I overlooked so I take responsibility for the oversight) still, for the cost, it would have been nice to have a built-in feature.

Great monitor for the home office!
This is a great monitor for the home office! The 4k UHD is simply amazing watching content on that. It's fairly lightweight for the size and the 27" monitor is nice and big. The only thing holding this slightly back is the 60Hz refresh rate. If this was 120, it would be the ideal gaming monitor. Other than that though, it gets daily use and will be great for years to come!

Perfect For Me
Once I got it configured it runs beautifully. I do some light photo editing for work but nothing extreme and so far very happy with this monitor. A little bigger and smoother than my previous monitor as well. Love it. The thin bevel is a huge plus as well.

Easy set up. Nightmare to sync
Easiest set up of a monitor. But none of the cables was designed for MacBook Pro. Had to buy 2 types of dongle to and change my settings. Not the happiest custumer

Very good monitor and putting it together is easy and quick. I thought long and hard about this one and am very satisfied with the performance and quality. One caveat. The setup card that comes with the monitor says PnP will install the driver. So far that has not happened on Windows 2004, and the drivers are not locatable on HP Support. Maybe soon.

A - mazing 4k display
I am an HP employee, but purchased this for myself for my home office setup. Amazing display quality and cost competitive across other 4k 27" options (yes, I did shop around). Great adjustable options and easier on my eyes than my other 4k monitor.

It has all the features I was looking for, including one cable delivering video from laptop to display and also delivering power to laptop. Nice understated clean, sleek design. great swivel range and it pivots to portrait position when needed.

Great Monitor
It rivals my 27" Imac, and has useful ports. The only issue, and it's a small one, it access to these useful ports is pretty hard. I have to lay the monitor down to gain access to them. But as a monitor, can't go wrong.
