The HP Series 3 27-inch FHD Monitor features a 27-inch full HD IPS display, slim bezels, and built-in speakers, in a desktop-friendly design. The 1920×1080 resolution maintains clear detail in streaming video, web pages, and documentation. In addition, a matte finish on the screen helps minimize reflections from windows and overhead lighting, eliminating the need to move the monitor to reduce glare. HP has also included Eye Ease technology with Eyesafe certification to remove harsh blue light while maintaining color accuracy.
A crisp monitor to get you through both work and play
The Series 3’s 1300:1 contrast ratio, combined with its IPS panel, helps maintain clarity of details and subtle shading throughout the screen. The 178-degree wide-angle view capability of IPS panels maintains color consistency regardless of your viewing position. A brightness of 250 nits is suitable for indoor spaces, and the anti-glare coating helps maintain readability of text and images without raising brightness levels too high.
The display’s 100Hz refresh rate is designed to improve motion clarity compared to standard 60Hz monitors. This smoother motion helps when you scroll quickly through lengthy pages, move windows around the screen, and use menu systems. Fast-motion video and gaming also appear clearer at 100Hz, allowing you to use the same monitor for both work and play.
The monitor’s connectivity options make it adaptable to both old and new devices. It has essential ports, including VGA, HDMI 1.4, and DisplayPort 1.2, so you can connect to PCs and game consoles without additional adapters. You can use multiple devices and switch sources as needed rather than continuously changing cables. Dual 2-watt built-in speakers offer low-level audio for PC sounds, video chat, and general TV watching.
The design of the HP Series 3 27-inch FHD Monitor focuses on a clean, compact footprint that does not block the front of your equipment stack. A three-sided micro-edge bezel creates thin border lines around the screen, which is aesthetically pleasing on its own and suitable for a multi-monitor layout. An adjustable tilt base lets you angle the monitor for improved comfort, and HP’s Display Center software provides a simple-to-use ergonomic setup guide that lets you fine-tune the monitor’s adjustability in four directions.
In addition to its attractive value proposition, this monitor has eco-friendly attributes. Energy Star certified and an enclosure made from 90 percent or higher post-consumer recycled materials, along with 20 percent recycled glass in the panel, indicate a lower environmental impact.
When paired with HP Eye Ease blue light reduction, the 27-inch FHD IPS panel, 100Hz refresh rate, built-in speakers, and the versatility of VGA, HDMI, and DisplayPort input options, the discounted price of $130, compared to the regular price of $187, makes the monitor an attractive option for an upgrade.
