With enhanced blue and yellow colours through the panel, the HQ272PQD has a vastly enhanced display ability with 116% Adobe RGB, 110% NTSC, and 156% HDTV BR.709 colour to bring you a more ‘what you see is what you get’ experience. Quantum Dots are also durable, meaning colours won’t fade, and are the most efficient light emitting material on the planet, ensuring a longer life display that is almost 100% energy efficient. Furthermore, the HQ272PQD also features HS-IPS technology for super wide viewing angles to ensure you can enjoy high-quality visuals from almost any direction, and an easy to use settings menu of intuitive pre-set picture modes.

The new HQ272PQD offers extensive connectivity options. Four digital inputs including; 2 x HDMI, a Display Port and a Mini DisplayPort for native WQHD, provide seamless connectivity with your PC and AV equipment. The HQ272PQD also has twin built-in stereo speakers that provide convenient audio for music, videos and games without the hassle and expense of connecting external speakers, while a headphone socket provides the means to plug in a headset for discreet sound when you don’t want to disturb others.

This new monitor from HANNspree has a contemporary desktop design with a robust, stylish stand. Alternatively, you can wall mount the HQ272PQD thanks to VESA support.

From the specs:
Max Display Frequency 2560 x 1440 @ 60Hz

We are close to 2019 and companies are still releasing 60Hz monitors... It should be at least 75Hz.

My HannsG (/HANNSspree) 27.5" (1920*1200) lived for 9 years - when i bought it in summer 2009, everybody was making fun of it, because it was a TN-panel. It outlived most of the panels from those ones who were joking about me and was a brilliant deal (270€ @a time, where a Dell 3007WFP was everybodys dream, but for 1 grand)

But a few months ago there was an even better offer here on Guru3D:

The AOC Q3279VWF (31.5" QHD MVA-panel, 5ms, 75Hz &FreeSync)

You still can get it for 200bucks @saturn (in the shop in germany - sry for everybody not living here).

So I bought it to replace the HannsG together with a buddy of mine (transport).

When we fired the thing up, our jaws dropped really hard (but the desk survived ;] ).

Man, that's BANG FOR YOUR BUCKS, but try to mount it to the wall, cause the foot is a wobbling issue.

Wait - here's the deal:

Yuuuuuup..... Totally agree.

I personally will not upgrade until 100hz and higher is the standard. As it sits i can jam out in 4k DSR at 100-120hz on my monitor and televisions that support 1080p 120hz like my OLED and new Vizio.

That feeling of them added Hz even in the desktop makes one feel the sensation of almost being "released and finally set free!!".

60Hz is a complete look away for me. Could be the best deal smoking and I'd happily look past it.

3 things caught my attention:

1. HS-IPS : I know IPS, and even AH-IPS a little bit, but what is this HS in the panel type?

2. Even though its just 60hz refresh rate and 250cdm (why not at least 350? as others are doing? ), the color gamut is way good for this price range. Something seems off here, what are they trying really? This color gamut is similar to Eizo's monitors that cost way way more. And all this at even Full HD is selling for a bit more, but they are offering this in QHD? NEC's best monitors that are color critical have only 99.x % Adobe RGB. The only reason for this monitor having 110% RGB, is perhaps due to them acquiring the latest quantum-dot (which in itself should have considerably improved over the the 2018 models) . But I don't think samsung will give them the latest quantum dot this cheap.

2. The presets have no color-gamut related ones, which is strange for this type of panel (with such a large gamut). No engineering effort?

glad to see ppl still dont know the difference between tvs doing high refresh e.g. 120hz
(which allows for additional processing and things like black frame insertion and where its done to remove motion blurry),
and monitors doing 120/140 hz it for lowering input lag and/or smoother gameplay.

outside that, someone playing games outside FPS (and the like) wouldnt see any difference anyway, and a feature like gsync/freesync would make for a better experience,
than not having (sync feat) but a 75/12/140 hz screen.

and 60hz on a moni is fine, as this isnt for gaming, as color coverage is more for production.
the reason i still wouldnt get it for that purpose, is the fact its not a 10 bit panel (12bit lookup) nor any info taht its calibrated or flicker free (like the benq/asus/eizo equivalents).
