HyperX Armada 27 Gaming Monitor Unboxing & Review

[@crentepoliglota]

Grabbed these for 199$USD at the microcenter in NYC, I gotta say, it was a steal, I'm loving it. The fact it comes with a good quality Vesa desk mount is amazing by itself.

[@cortez367]

I just grabbed one a few hours ago

[@crentepoliglota]

​@@cortez367I'm loving it, só worth it, I wouldn't pay 399 for it though, but for 199 its an awesome price

[@shafathakter5050]

It's 179.99 at Westbury location, getting two of em tomorrow

[@crentepoliglota]

@@shafathakter5050 definitely worth it, I’m looking for another QHD to use as portrait monitor

[@laychew5402]

lol i just got mine today at that price, btw its nice I like @@shafathakter5050 👍

[@sogetsu60]

This monitor has 1100:1 contrast . Any monitor with LG ips has 750:1 contrast. It also has 500 nits of brightness in hdr, and 450 in native mode. The LG has 350 max.It does not have the LG panels inside.

[@eckz8659]

You realize that not being able to output 10bit color @ 165hz is not the monitors fault right? I've yet to find a monitor that can do it. I'm pretty sure it's limited by the DP version (or cable) data transfer rate. My $1200 LG monitor can't. Also, I believe this is a rebranded HP Omen 27i so yes it's probably LG's Nano IPS. The OSD is identical but the logo has been changed. The 27i was much better built, however.

[@Dell-ol6hb]

Yea idk what he’s talking about

[@estate-tidus1007]

IMO all of these old reviews need to come down, This monitor stayed at it's MSRP for like 2 months then dropped like crazy and became an excellent deal.

[@Kyubi2345]

Bought this baby at MicroCenter for $199 and its absolutely perfect for the price point!! Make sure you have space on your desk for it!

[@loyalcrx]

I got mine from Micro Center for humongous deal it was only like $140 plus tax

[@snackie1359]

same

[@purnasaimadala]

@@snackie1359 wait, isn't it $179.99? how did you get it for $140?

[@silvertech94]

Where? Share link please.

[@cortez367]

Was it an open box monitor?

[@loyalcrx]

i dont know what that means but it was just on how his came. there wasn't not one scratch.@@cortez367

[@train3616]

So is it Hyper X or technically HP since they're HP owned now...

[@eckz8659]

It's probably a rebranded HP Omen 27i which was around $500 new a year or so ago, and is basically a rebranded LG Nano IPS panel. I have one and it's a pretty bad ass monitor. I would still be using it if I hadn't landed an Ultrawide LG 34GP for super cheap. I see a ton of similarities including the exact same OSD just with a HyperX logo where the Omen one normally was.

[@DainzSancion-i6s]

I have one and I gotta say It's by far the best decision I've made buying a monitor I got it at micro center for 179 which is ridiculous the stand alone is amazing and very very well made I have a bunch of stands but this by far is the best and for the price nothing can beat it atleast in my opinion for the price and quality if you find one at micro center for cheap buy it you will not regret it.

[@mjmonjure]

Wow, great review if it's all about price. Price, price, price... They did drop the price, by almost half...

[@MasterHandFinalDestination]

snagged one of these at microcenter yesterday, what a good deal for 200

[@HashibiraDergam]

In Brazil, it's priced at 350 dollars. The others you recommended are much higher in terms of value. Would it be a good idea to pick up this Hyper for 350 dollars?

[@Ghost_16_98]

helpful review. Huge Hyperx stan but this does seem to be lacking.

[@chiromedic1127]

So I’m currently looking at this monitor at its current price of 199$ so I’m not sure if that is a great price to performance

[@frinwosemix462]

Hello, I would like to get advice (if possible) on what to choose: HyperX Armada 27 or DELL Alienware AW2724DM 27. Thanks a lot!

[@____________________________.x]

If you want audio output on a gaming monitor, then I don't know what to tell you... 🤭 interesting review though, covered some stuff that others didn't and vice versa

[@JamesBakster]

Today the price of Armada 27 is the same as the price of LG 27gp850p-b + arm Hama. which of these monitors do you recommend given that the price is the same?

[@advanceddarkness3]

These are $179 at my local Microcenter. Im thinking of grabbing 3 for a triple sim rig setup.

[@shueyyyv2185]

Bro you need to get this monitor

[@shueyyyv2185]

I just got it last night and I stayed up til 5 am grinding on valo. Enough said, this monitor is a game changer 100% I stopped over flicking and it runs so smooth on maxed settings (I have a evga rtx 3060) run at maxed1440p 165hz I steadily get 165fps and I’ve tested it and I can run up to 210

[@elliotbaltazar]

Great review and I appreciate the honesty!

[@phoenix31nl]

Yeah i just picked one up for 200 euro, i think its a steal at that price point, as i did want to have a monitor arm.

[@dursunefeozkan]

Denk je dat de gigabyte m27q beter zal zijn voor 249 euro dan de hyperx armada 27 voor 200 euro?

[@phoenix31nl]

@@dursunefeozkan geen idee zou je ff een review moeten kijken, kan alleen zeggen dat nu ik deze monitor heb voor 200 euro hij zeer goed bevalt, maar dat kwam ook uit de reviews, dus mocht je hem nog kunnen oppikken voor rond de 250 en je wilt een monitor arm er bij , zeker doen.

[@tylergundlach1154]

didnt use the other portion of the monitor arm for an extra axis of rotation.

[@ixlisloco2610]

I got this monitor for 110 which was a steal

[@dethtrain]

You know the instructions say to drill a hole in your desk and I'm not sure why

[@FishingZebra]

How about if I can get it for $122.15 Openbox deal from Microcenter?

[@battleaxe6108]

Takes out screws. Woah amazing

[@paulracinejr]

This is now $330. Compared to gigabyte m27q or lg gp850, is it a better buy?

[@gaspardv695]

I'm also looking for this answer...

[@paulracinejr]

@@gaspardv695 I’m debating just getting it. Better contrast ratio than both, and just as good response and input lag, if not better. Seems like a safe choice but I’m scared to make that gamble lol

[@JustinBrown-y1z]

@@paulracinejr FYI this monitor is on sale at Microcenter right now for $180. Very likely worth that. I guess they're really trying to push sales now.

[@Scresho202]

Got it for 260€, what do you think about this price? Do you think I can attach a normal stand to it?

[@account_under_maintenance]

Got it for 160€

What's better. hyperx armada 25 or zowie xl2546k. I didn't use dyac

[@SomethingCool51]

4:10 doesn't the monitor come with another part to the arm that attaches to the base? Every other video had that

[@rudyseidl7645]

Hmmm....I wonder why the price is so high...? Good review man - thanks a lot.

[@qwertyboguss]

This review brought me nothing. Feels like it was biased from the start. Why are others it better except for the 10 bit colors? You compliment the ghosting, the image quality, the brightness but still.. tHe oThErS aRe BeTtEr

[@TypeCTechReviews]

Because I’ve used all the main competition and this is wildly overpriced. I focus all of my videos on value, if you want to spend more money to get what you could get for much less go ahead and do it. Not sure why you’d be mad about me being consumer focused haha

[@qwertyboguss]

@@TypeCTechReviews I'm not mad, it's just not really based on arguments other than price. I like that you take it into account, but that could be a conclusion, not something to keep recurring. I still don't know if this a good buy if it were better priced. Thanks for the effort though.

[@dursunefeozkan]

​@@qwertybogusshey, do you think it is worth it for €160 or should I go for the gigabyte m27q for €200. They are both on sale rn

[@qwertyboguss]

@@dursunefeozkan I'd like to answer this but I don't know. Depends on what you're looking for. I bought it for €200 and am quite happy because the included arm. But like I said I don't know the alternative so can't say much about it! Compare the two and see what distinctive features are important to you.

[@dursunefeozkan]

@qwertyboguss thanks for the answer, I am currently playing on a 1440p 75hz 4ms monitor with a normal stand, do you recommend the upgrade(I play on ps5)?

[@FabioSuave]

this guy's complaining about a whole lot of nothing. if all the shit he's saying is stiff and hard to move was any smoother, the monitor arm would droop and not hold its position

[@Hassan-gc8fi]

First

Man dont cry , show me monitor with real 10 bits with no FRC) with price 500 dollars) you cant do it)) so dont cry about real 8 bits
