Crisp clear and easy
The HP 527sh is a wonderful monitor at a nice price point. Packaging is secure and protective and it comes with everything you need, including a HDMI cable. Setting up is ridiculously fast and uncomplicated! I honestly was dreading this part but they have this down to an easy science with the easy turn screws and a quick slide into place. The power cord is plenty long with a light rectangular adapter. I plugged it in, pushed the power button on the lower right hand corner and instantly had a great picture that was easy on my eyes. With the eyesafe feature it does feel soft on my eyes, in a good way. With a 27 inch screen it feels great to work on, when someone is sharing their screen with me I can see perfect, I don't have to squint or ask them to make it bigger. It also has tilt and height adjustment which makes it even better. I highly recommend this monitor. In fact, I intend to buy another for my home office set up so I'll have two matching awesome monitors to work from. It'll be the perfect set up.

Sleek, bright nicely priced monitor fr major brand
HP Series 5 Model 527sh 27" LED 1080p Full HD Height Adjustable Monitor This sleek large display has very narrow bezels, supports a 100Hz refresh rate, gives a good 5ms response time for gamers and includes an HDMI cable in the box. It has two HDMI and 1 VGA video inputs on the back panel. There are no speakers nor does the back panel have any audio output port. Some specs from the HP website as of Mar 1 2024: Resolution is 1920 X 1080; contrast ration of 1,500:1; aspect ration of 16:9; brightness of 300 nits; response time of 5ms GtG with overdrive; it measures 24” wide and 17” wide if concerned about fitting into a limited desk unit. Resolutions supported: 640 x 480; 720 x 400; 800 x 600; 1024 x 768; 1280 x 720; 1280 x 800; 1280 x 1024; 1440 x 900; 1600 x 900; 1680 x 1050; 1920 x 1080 It includes a compact rectangular shaped silver stand which allows a small tilt functions as well as height adjustment. It was very easy to attach the stand to the monitor upon unpacking it out of the total cardboard box it is shipped in. No Styrofoam in the packaging; only recyclable cardboard. It is made in China. By the way, the supplied stand needs to be used; the back has no VESA standard threaded screw holes for using one of the wall or desk mount monitor stands. The monitor is supplied with a very small AC adapter producing 12 V DC that plugs into the bottom of the monitor with a barrel plug. It uses approximately 19 watts when in use; less if the brightness is not full blast. The picture quality is very good with computer use via either the HDMI or VGA inputs. I was able to use the OSD with the bottom right edge control buttons to adjust the brightness and contrast to my liking. It was set to a very high brightness level and 100 contrast level from the box. I also connected the monitor via HDMI to a gaming laptop and the display screen is very detailed for games I tried with it. I also played Hulu and Prime Video TV and movies on it using the same gaming laptop and the image quality is very detailed (sound played through the laptop speakers; as reported above the monitor does not have speakers). It has settings for Low Blue Light level which is important if using any monitor late in the evening before going to sleep. Studies imply that Blue Light before bed time inhibits sleep. The box also indicates that it uses recycled plastics in its manufacture; 85% post-consumer plastic and 5% ocean-bound plastic. It has a 1 year warranty from HP. I would readily recommend this PC monitor to anyone considering it is a great basic 1920 x 1080 LED monitor at a very reasonable price as is typical of the many HP monitors.

Good 1080p monitor. Does not have sound.
I have a 27 inch HP 4K wireless monitor that I love and have been using for about 5 years now. The 3840 x 2160 resolution display is fantastic, with super sharp and crisp text. But it must be getting outdated because when I purchased a new computer, I lost sound whenever the computer went to sleep. The only fix was to set the PC to “never sleep”. The monitor wouldn’t connect wirelessly and the HDMI connection quit working. Fortunately, it has a display port and I’ve been able to continue using it with a display port connection. But it was time to start looking for a replacement. The Series 5 527sh monitor is also 27 inches diagonal. It was easy to assemble when laid flat on a table so that the stand could overhang during assembly. All the stand attachments have hooks or grooves for support so that the monitor is supported by something other than just the screws. It adjusts up and down from 2 inches to almost 6 inches off the desktop. There is a slight tilt adjustment. Connecting it to the PC was super easy. After attaching the HDMI cable and turning the PC on, it recognized the new monitor right away. The Series 5 monitor does not have sound, which I’m told is the current trend. It did come with an HDMI cable. The Series 5 monitor has 2 HDMI and a VGA port. There is no display port. I thought VGA was becoming obsolete, but in my case, having it is a plus. I have a 10+ year old HP Pavilion with 2 media drives that I use to copy CDs, but it only connects to a monitor via VGA. It will be interesting to see if old VGA works with new VGA. I don’t have any complaints about the color or refresh rate. Videos played well and the color was fine. Initially the mouse was lagging, but there is a monitor menu option to increase the response time. The menu is very easy to use. Much better than the earlier versions. I found the text to be somewhat fuzzy and blurry compared to 4K. The sharpness can be adjusted in the menu, but text at the highest level of sharpness is hard to read because some letters are dark and some are light. I found that document text looked best at level 6, but at that level downloaded pictures disintegrated. I had to go back to level 4 to get a reasonable image. I can read the small print on the digital newspaper with 3840 x 2160 resolution, but the text breaks up on the 1080p HP Series 5 monitor. I tried to do some troubleshooting to improve text quality, but the HP website indicated in the paperwork that came with the monitor was useless. It couldn’t find the serial number and the only monitor troubleshooting help was for “monitor with black screen”. I accidently found a manual that was usable by searching for a similar product at Best Buy. In one of the answered questions there was a link to a user manual for a similar product. It said to do factory reset to correct blurry and fuzzy text. I did, and the quality improved considerably. The text is larger than I’m used to. I tried to change the font size in settings, but there is no option to go smaller - just larger. At first, I thought it was my imagination, but when I installed the old and new monitors side by side, I found that while the width of the display is identical, I’m losing a full 2 inches of content at the bottom of the new screen. The viewing height on the Series 5 monitor is comparable to what I see on a screen that is only 12 inches high. The text is larger so as to fill the additional 2 inches of height. I don’t know if that’s atypical or just a difference between HD and 4K. I’ve been spoiled by using a 4K monitor for so long. While it's not fair to compare this one to 4K, it is hard to go back to 1920 x 1080 resolution. And I do miss having sound. Monitor sound is never the best, but it’s less messy than having to connect speakers or a sound bar. Having this monitor has made me realize that in the future, any monitor I purchase must have 3840 x 2160 resolution and it must have sound. But the HP Series 5 monitor does live up to the HP reputation and is easy to assemble, easy to adjust, looks very nice and performs as it should. The only odd thing is the text size, which might just be due to the resolution difference.

Solid monitor for everyday use.
The HP 527SH is a stylish screen that will suit your everyday needs. It is geared more toward productivity / Work From Home people and not so much gaming/content consumption. In the box is the quick start up paperwork, power brick and AC cord, HDMI cable, screen, arm and base. Setup is very easy as the design is 100% toolless and the arm slides into place and secured with an attached thumbscrew. Base connects to the arm and has 2 thumbscrews to fasten it together. One thing to note, because of the thinness of the screen design, the monitor is NOT VESA mountable in case you prefer that method. Once assembled, the HP offers a wide range of tilt and height adjustment to suit your needs but does not offer any degree of swivel at all. Inputs include a VGA (why?) and 2x HDMI 2.1 ports. DP isn't needed in my opinion as the screen only offers a max resolution of 1080p @ 100hz. I am using the monitor on a triple monitor setup for my WFH and it performs flawlessly. I love the bezeless look and how small of a footprint it has. Color accuracy was good out of the box and I had no eye strain with 8 hour workdays. 300 nits of brightness is more than enough to illuminate the IPS panel and give great viewing angles. You can use the monitor for gaming but I wouldn't suggest fast paced games as the 5ms GtG response time produces minor ghosting for me. 1 thing to watch out for, is that when I plugged in the monitor, Windows set it up automatically but set the refresh rate to 60hz. Make sure to go into the settings and manually select 100hz to get the most out of the HP (see pic). Truthfully, the monitor should have a price point roughly $50 cheaper (if on sale then go for it) than it's MSRP. Because of the price to performance with a LOT of 27" FHD competition out there and no swivel, it gets a solid 4 stars.

A Nice Monitor
Daily use monitor for work. Purchased at a good price and like the overall aesthetic and functionality. Picture quality is nice and the size is good for a dual monitor setup. Auto turn off is nice. So far, no problems.

Solid FHD monitor with HDMI inputs
The HP 527s monitor is a solid 27” screen for a work or light gaming setup, or a 2nd screen for a laptop with HDMI outputs. The IPS screen is good for viewing angles although the black levels aren’t great but this monitor also does 100Hz which is nice for light gaming and even noticeable when mousing and moving windows around on the desktop. The monitor housing itself has super thin bezels and is extremely thin as well from the side profile. There is a bit of a bump at the bottom to house the electronics but this is a thin and light panel that is solidly built even if it is mostly plastic. The base is metal and plastic and is easily assembled and also allows for vertical adjustment which is always a bonus. There is also limited left and right swivel. The main reason I like this monitor however for my desktop is for a 2nd screen to allow Dolby Atmos to be enabled from my Nvidia GPU, through my Atmos sound bar which then needs to pass through and terminate video to a “TV resolution and refresh”. That means either FHD or 4K, without 1080p/60Hz or 4K/60, the HDCP handshake isn’t completed for Atmos audio. Happy with the monitor and it looks great for what I need it for!

Perfect for Zoom calls.
I love my new HP Monitor. The size is perfect as I do a lot of Zoom calls with groups. (27") I also love that it is adjustable. This feature allows me to raise the monitor to eye level.
