hey guys Eric Franklin here and today I'm gonna take you for a ride on the train that is the HP Zr 27:40 W the HP packs about 3.3 million pixels into its 27-inch screen which makes high-end PC games look incredible it also has back tilt pivot screen height adjustment and swivel in addition there's five USB ports including one upstream port and it costs only $700 which makes it the cheapest way to get an extreme definition or XD monitor onto your desktop unfortunately there's no included on-screen display or OSD this limits picture customizations to changing the brightness only you do get a single DVI and one DisplayPort for video connections but that's all you get it's kind of hard to say you're disappointed with a monitor that packs as many pixels into a screen as XD monitors do that said some people need more than just 2 connection options I'm not really one of those people but I still like to have the option to use HDMI and yeah I know that's what adapters are for but I'd rather avoid that hassle also only being able to adjust the brightness that's gonna be a deal breaker for some people having said all that there's a reason other XD monitors cost quite a bit more than $700 and expecting to have the features the HP is missing at that price just as not realistic to put it simply the HP cost as low as $700 because of its missing features and at that price it's the most affordable XD monitor out there however if you can't live with the limitations of brightness only customizations both the Samsung sync master s27 a 850 D and the dell ultrasharp you 2711 offer similar performance with many more options though with higher prices once again I'm Eric Franklin and this has been the HP Zr 2740
