Having been acquired by HP in 2021, HyperX later announced that they would be expanding their gaming lineup.

The Armada 27 has improved picture quality with a QHD HDR 400 display but is limited to 165Hz.

So why would you choose this?

New Roku streaming sticks.

Shared with the Armada 27 is the input selection: one DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.0 ports.

Higher refresh rates will only be possible using a PC with DisplayPort.

HyperX believes their new monitors offer added value and convenience that some gamers will appreciate.

The Armada arm attaches to the back of your desk using its included C-clamp.

With the arm installed, the monitor similarly clips onto to the VESA mount and locks in.

The arm also has built-in cable management for keeping your desk more tidy.

You’re also limited to the one monitor, with no option to expand capabilities in future.

Everything felt fluid when hitting 220-240 FPS in games like Overwatch 2.

With G-SYNC, there wasn’t any noticeable tearing, and images on screen looked sharp without any blur.

You could easily save over $200 by choosing another option.

Perhaps as the Armada lineup matures, we’ll see the pricing become more competitive.
