HyperX is increasing into screens with the announcement of two fashions designed for avid gamers who desire a minimalist desk setup. The most unique factor about these screens is that they every embrace a desk mount and versatile monitor arm, which allow you to customise precisely the way you wish to prepare the show in your desk. (Not to say, the lack of a standard stand means you received’t lose a lot desk area.) You can orient the monitor horizontally or twist it 90 levels for a taller view.
The 25-inch 1080p Armada 25 and the 27-inch QHD Armada 27 coming in September aren’t far aside in value, costing $449 and $499, respectively. Both appear to be an amazing deal contemplating they embrace monitor arms, which generally promote for round $100 or extra. Apart from size and backbone, there additionally aren’t too many spec variations between the two. Both have matte-textured IPS panels with slim bezels and are supposed to have the ability to attain 400 nits of peak brightness. They each have 1ms response occasions in addition to Nvidia G-Sync compatibility to deal with adaptive sync with Nvidia GPUs. Their ports are equivalent, too, comprised of 1 DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.0 ports. (HyperX consists of HDMI and DisplayPort cables, which Sony couldn’t deliver itself to do for its $899 InZone M9.)
As for the way they differ, the Armada 25 sports activities a sooner 240Hz refresh charge in comparison with the Armada 27’s 165Hz charge. The Armada 27 options VESA Display HDR 400, which means that HyperX claims it might obtain a peak of 400 nits for HDR content material, which isn’t very brilliant (HyperX confirmed that the Armada 25 doesn’t help Display HDR 400). Both screens declare to have respectable shade accuracy for the value, although every facilities in on a special shade gamut. The Armada 25 claims to help 95 % of the sRGB shade gamut, whereas the Armada 27 claims to have 95 % protection of the DCI P3 gamut.

Notably, HyperX is making the monitor mounts obtainable for buy individually, and so they have a VESA mounting plate with 4 screws. The Armada Single Gaming Mount (as proven hooked up to the monitor in the photograph above), which comes with every of the new screens, costs $109.99 by itself. If you have already got the single mount however wish to add extra screens to your setup, you’ll want the Armada Addon Gaming Mount, which costs $79.99. HyperX says as much as 4 25-inch screens will be put in through these add-on elements on a Single Gaming Mount or as much as two 27-inch screens.
It’s cool to see that HyperX’s debut gaming screens aren’t simply also-rans in phrases of worth. (Ironically, they’re rather more attention-grabbing than what I’ve seen come out up to now from HP, its mum or dad firm.) While the panel expertise could also be nothing new, the inclusion of monitor arms and mounts with every mannequin provides the firm a bonus that the majority different firms making comparable screens can’t match.
