hey what's up Tech friends our ferrets from the tech of tomorrow channel to bring you guys a head-to-head comparison of 2 of the top 27-inch monitors that feature resolutions of 2560 by 1440 today we're gonna be looking at the HP zr 27 for tw and we're gonna be also looking at the del u 27 11 now these monitors are both like I said they're both 27-inch monitors they both feature an anti-glare screen but their price different and they do have some different features I've got them sitting right here behind me and a lot of things about me the same the bezel is almost the same size all the way around they both got a Silver Line band around the sides of both monitors now here we see a screen where we show the bulleted features of both of these monitors as you can see as far as the display goes itself these monitors are pretty equal and the way their specs are in the way the heat the temperatures resolution everything else but here's where things start getting really a lot different the HB monitor has no on-screen display at all this means that you cannot do any adjustment on the monitor whatsoever you can't adjust the color you can't adjust the height you can't adjust the size you can't adjust anything let's take a look at inputs the del u 2711 has dual DVI RGB DisplayPort and HDMI connections now the HP monitor it only has a display port and a DVI connection and you can't choose between using whatever one you're using when you're using the HP monitor on the Dell monitor you can clearly by the side controls choose which input you want to use so theoretically you could hook up six different computers up to the Dell you can only hook up one at a time to the HP I've also noticed that I've had a lot of problems getting DVI cables to work and recognized with the HP monitor the DisplayPort seems to work no problem whatsoever but the DVI cable on many systems we plug it into the monitor would not even turn on now as far as the visuals go on the monitor if you're viewing artwork playing games or anything else these monitors are pretty much equal both panels are based off the LG panel now one thing I want to mention if you buy the older versions like if you go online you buy from someplace and selling like these older HP monitors you're gonna get the first-generation panels now the first-generation panels on both the dell and the HP had issues they shut down they failed and they had an anti-glare coating on it that looked like Edwards head from that frickin movie about the vampires Twilight I'm serious you can see the comments online but I just want to mention this is the first generation panel the panel's have now been upgraded on both the dell and on the HP and the anti-glare panel that's on them now is very very usable it doesn't give you that same nasty you know Edwards shiny head looking thing whatsoever now text I don't know why but text is a little bit clearer on the Dell monitor I have no reason why there's no theoretical reason why it should be but text is just a little bit clearer on the Dell monitor it's all right folks you guys always want head to head videos I feel this is like the best I can do because comparing monitor is kind of really hard putting him side by side and show him I looked at and then we filmed it there's not even much you can really tell we could've done a lot more theht but honestly there's not much you can tell but here's my advice the HP monitor I'm very surprised has won a lot of Editors Choice Awards out there on certain sites I won't mention any names but I disagree with that monitor being an editor's choice monitor it's an entry level monitor for a monitor if you want 2560 by 1440 and you don't want to break the bank you can find these things as low as 629 dollars on the Internet now with the Dell you 2711 it comes to market at about a hundred dollars more than the HP but there are a lot of differences between the monitors some things are the same now both monitors feature two USB ports that are located on the side both monitor features 2560 by 1440 now right there though is kind of where the monitors stop being similar totally it's not being somewhat for that no on screen display for the HP total on-screen display for the Dell you can switch between all the settings on the Dell and use different computers you can't do that with the HP whatsoever so when I see people out there giving this modern Editors Choice Award I just don't agree with that and here's another feature that I noticed that I haven't even mentioned on the Dell monitor there's a card reader on the side so now maybe you get the card reader you get much more features you get better flexibility and all you're paying is $100 so if it comes down to a competition and these two guys are enter the ring and do some kickass things at the end of the day the Dell you 2711 will seriously kick ass over the HP 2740 any day of the week thanks for watching I hope you guys like this type of video it's something new and we hope you liked it see you later
