Armada 27
The larger HyperX Armada 27 monitor has a 27-inch QHD (2560×1440) IPS panel. At 165 Hz, the refresh rate is slower than the Armada 25, but the response time is the same at 1 ms. In addition, the Armada 27 features VESA DisplayHDR 400. This means it can display HDR content with a peak brightness of 400 nits. Regarding color accuracy, HyperX claims that the Armada 27 supports 95 percent of the DCI P3 gamut. The monitor has the same single DisplayPort 1.4 and a pair of HDMI 2.0 ports as the Armada 25.
Nvidia G-Sync
Both monitors are Nvidia G-Sync compatible. This technology only works when the monitors are connected to a compatible Nvidia graphics card. G-Sync varies the display’s refresh rate to reduce screen tearing, stuttering and juddering during fast-paced games or video.
Gaming mount
Both monitors are supplied with the HyperX Armada Single Gaming Mount, an ergonomic Armada arm and an Armada desk mount. This mounting system is compatible with all HyperX monitors and can also be used with most displays with VESA 75 mm and 100 mm mounts. In addition, you can get an optional HyperX Armada Gaming Mount, which allows you to mount up to four 25-inch or two 27-inch monitors together.
Verdict
The HyperX Armada 25 and HyperX Armada 27 monitors are aimed at the gaming market. However, they promise high-quality displays with good accuracy, which could be useful for video editing. If you are going to use the monitors for color grading, you should consider using a color calibration device to ensure their color accuracy. In addition, the 400 nits of the Armada 27 is lower than the optimal brightness level for HDR.
Pricing and availability
The new products will be available through HyperX US online shop. The HyperX Armada 25 Gaming Monitor will retail at $449, and the Armada 27 Gaming Monitor at $499. You can also buy the mounting arm separately. The HyperX Armada Single Gaming Mount will cost $109 and the HyperX Armada Gaming Mount Addon for additional monitors will be $79. All products should be available from September 2022.
