HP DreamColor Z27x G2 Studio Display - LED monitor - 27" is rated 4.93 out of 5 by 14.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from A graphic designers DREAM!! The HP DreamColor Z27xG2 is a graphic designers dream screen. It can show over a million colors with it's built in colorameter. I don't have to hope that I've picked the right color anymore because I can see every single color. It is easy to set up and use. The base/stand is very heavy. If I could change anything I would make it have the ability to hook up to my phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really good if not perfect monitor for creatives Packaging/delivery: It is packed extremely well with very heavy duty cardboard and lots of molded foam. I think you could have dropped it off a rooftop and the monitor would have been fine. Mine arrived in perfect condition. In the box: Was really pleased with all of the ports available and that their associated cords were supplied - including a USB-C/Thunderbolt for my mac. They also include a mounting bracket if VESA mount on your desk. I did laugh a bit about having an install CD included, does HP even make a machine with a CD drive these days? Form: It's big. And bulky looking. And heavy at 26lbs. Though I like how sturdy it feels. The sliding and twisting action on the arm that allows you to adjust the height and angle is really smooth and works very well. Note it does not spin 90 degrees - but you wouldn't use a monitor like this turned portrait. Overall, I don't really like the form but if that's the tradeoff for something built to last it's fine. The Screen: First off, know this is 2560x1440, not 4k. Because I work on a large retina monitor all day, every day, that makes text and vector images look a bit bitmapped to my eye. I think if you're used to standard HD or 2560x1440, you'd probably not be bothered. But noticed it immediately. The other thing I noticed immediately was that the color are very vibrant. This is an area where the monitor surpasses my Apple monitor. The color gamut is incredible. Which, as an animator, I'm really pleased with. I also very much like how they've been able to cut glare down. The surface is matte and also recessed a bit into the (bulky) bezel and that all helps with glare. It's not an extremely bright monitor, though I work with the lights down and suspect most photographers, video editors and animators do as well and it's not an issue. What else?: There's a built-in color calibration tool. It's automatic and doesn't require a computer. That's pretty amazing. Also, there's a KVM switch built in, so you can have more than one machine plugged in and switch them without moving plugs. Great feature. This monitor is a REALLY good professional monitor if you work with imagery. I can't call it perfect based on some relatively small things, namely I wish it were 4k and "sleeker". But I'm happy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super powerful monitor! Got this to connect to laptop at home for all my freelance graphic design work and at first was a bit surprised at how heavy it was compared to some other monitors I've used but once I started using this I noticed that this monitor is truly unique and in a class of its own. Very easy to put together and also very flexible to setup in any direction. Connected to my laptop with the HDMI cable (just plug and go) and used it either to mirror my screen or as an extra screen. This is a game changer for me as now I save so much time. The popup sensor that calibrates display on a schedule or on demand and the colors are so accurate using the colorimeter makes this a graphic designers dream screen. Using mostly Adobe illustrator, in-design etc. Screen is so clear and sharp that the 27 inch screen actually feels larger than that.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Professional Monitor I got this monitor to accurately show colors and have a larger digital workspace. The DreamColor Z27 did not disappoint. As a graphic designer, this monitor is top notch for color calibration, and shows off the colors I have specced in true to life fashion. All in all a great monitor to use with my Mac Mini, along with connecting my HP laptop with on occasion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Content Creator’s Dream Come True A content creator’s dream come true. This monitor is designed for the creative professional or advanced designer. It is a perfect solution for photographers, videographers, design studios, video production, and animation designers. This heavy duty (solid metal stand with plastic base cover) monitor has a very bright matte finish screen and protruding bezel. The combination of the bezel and the matte finish help reduce glare and make this screen amazingly clear and crisp (as opposed to some more popular brands glossy screens). It can be mounted with the VESA style mounting threads on the back or can be clicked into the provided stand (now screws!! just a mechanical button to release.. really nice). The monitor is able to move up and down on the stand, as well as tilt and swivel allowing the perfect viewing angle. This robust monitor has built in automatic calibration tool. That’s right, built in!! It can be programmed to run on a schedule or manually engaged. It comes down from the built in housing automatically and runs a calibration cycle. Once calibrated, the colors really pop and are extremely vibrant. This display is capable of 100% of sRGB and 99% of AdobeRGB color gamuts. It is extremely accurate which is perfect for content creators who rely on color accuracy. Overall it is fairly bright at 220 nits, it displays deep dark blacks, smooth gradients, excellent extended color gamuts, all while maintaining incredible contrast. The monitor is a bit complicated for the average user, and there are more settings and controls that one might need. However, professionals will love the control and flexibility. Getting the monitor set up will take some time, but once calibrated it is incredible. It also includes a built in KVM switch, allowing you to switch sources without moving cables or unplugging anything (great for those who move around between machines). The on screen display menu is controlled by physical function buttons located on the front bezel and the menu is well organized and easy to navigate. The buttons can be set to glow red, white, auto off, or off all the time, which is nice when working in a dark atmosphere. Overall this is an incredible display. The color is beautiful, the builtin calibration is a huge plus, and display is one of the best I have encountered. If you are a content creator, amateur to professional, this monitor is the one! I would say this is one of the best tools you can buy, I highly recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Incredible color. Love the built in Colorimeter. This is a serious piece of hardware. As a professional photographer I always tell up and comers to focus on spending their funds on glass vs. the camera body, as the lens makes the image. Same thing with high end monitors. It doesn't matter what you connect this to, you'll be a better photo / video editor with predictable, true to life results every time. First impression was the size of the box (!) and weight of this monitor. The stand and casing is metal. It exudes quality throughout - it's obvious that this is a serious professional tool vs. a plastic curved screen toy of a display. I really appreciate the fact that HP placed the menu buttons all right on the front bezel, especially given the vast amount of control you have from those buttons. The ability to enable the internal CPU and run jobs within the monitor is fantastic. There is a small colorimeter eye that rotates from the top bezel via a small motor and calibrates the screen on demand. I calibrated this monitor with my room colors, matched the color profile to my pro level inkjet printer, and was blown away by how accurate both pieces came out. Placing the printout next to the monitor the color was quite simply exact. I've heard comments about the fact that the lionshare of academy award winning video editors use this monitor (or a DreamColor like it) and now I believe every word of it. This isn't a casual gamer display (brightness and refresh rate aren't as high as they'd want anyways) but for wedding photographers - any photographers - and video editing, this is a very high end, professional level tool with color accuracy the likes of which I've never seen anywhere else. As with a high end camera lens, you get what you pay for, and this monitor is absolutely worth the investment for experienced amateurs and pros alike.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing! This monitor is seriously amazing! The color is absolutely outstanding, like nothing I’ve ever seen before. It truly makes a huge difference when editing pictures. The colors are bright and vibrant. The 27 inch monitor really makes a difference. It’s large, but not too large. Easily the best monitor I’ve ever owned. I’d recommend this for any one working in the graphic design or photography field. You won’t regret this purchase!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for Graphic Arts & Photo editing! I need an extra large monitor, not only for my eyesight, but for the fine detail work needed for graphic art/photography editing etc. I do. I’m thrilled to say the HP Dreamcolor Z27 x G2 is the absolute BOMB that not only fits my needs, but has far surpassed what I expected. I didn’t realize what I was missing in regards to my art until I started using the HP. the resolution & quality just blows me away! I’m so excited to be able to do so much more then I was previously able to on much smaller monitors. Hook up is easy, directions easy to follow. You need this!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wow, simply Wow! I am a professional photographer and this monitor changed the way I looked at and edited my photos so far. This matte finish screen helps reduce glare and has such accurate colors. It is perfect for me as depend on color accuracy. Setting up the monitor took some time but, once I was done setting up, it is the best monitor I could have. Built in KVM switch allowed me to switch sources from my PC to laptop with changing cables, which I found so convenient. It is the best monitor a creative person can have. Highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice and big! This Hp dream color monitor is very nice. The 27 inch screen makes viewing your work so much easier and brings out every detail. The software that comes with it is easy to install and works great too. The stand is build well too. It’s heavy but I like how you can move it around how ever you need it to be.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This monitor dominates! Upon first unboxing the monitor I quickly realized that this was no simple at home everyday monitor. This was made for professionals. It has a super large screen great to be able to view many things at one time. It also has a simple but sleek style to it that isn’t fancy but gets the job done for those who work professionally with their monitors on art work. I first tested this product on a piece of 3D Modeling that needed to be textured and colored. I love the built in calibration tool at the top of the screen. Usually I would calibrate my screen manually, but trusted the technology to calibrate it for me at first. The colors are vibrant and show a great range of scale. I think that with the built in calibration it was good enough, but suspect that it could of gotten better with a separate calibration manually. At first I tested the monitor in a well lit room, but obviously it was made to be used in the dark to get the fullest range of darks. One thing I do wish this monitor offered was 4K, that seems to be the norm of what people are looking for these days and as a professional that is always a bonus in a monitor. The monitor does have an array of many different ports available including 2 HDMI and several USB options. The Monitor also comes with an hdmi cable and 2 different usb cables and a DisplayPort cable. I love the ability for the monitor to have different refresh rates and will work for a wide variety of projects. Overall if you are looking for a monitor that excels in color accuracy this should definitely be at the top of the list.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceptional Color Control HP DreamColor Z27x G2 Studio Display is a powerhouse of color performance. The display itself is well designed and visually appealing, and comes with so many cables and options to fit any computer or device. The screen is crystal clear and sharp, and the color controls are top notch, allowing you to control your color space and match it to devices. This display is perfect for those of us who work with color so closely. I am so glad to have this in my arsenal now.
