Introducing, the HyperX Armada series of monitors &#8211; available in both 25 and 27 inches in size, and they only come with a pole-type monitor arm. There is no conventional monitor arm in the box.<\/p>\n<p>That in itself is rather weird as you&#8217;ll have to make sure your desk is compatible first before actually purchasing this monitor arm for your own setup. If you are using hollow core tables like the IKEA Linnmon, then you should not buy this monitor. Make sure your table is either made out of laminated wood or MDF. Thickness matters but even with our dinky table and a split center, it still works fine.<\/p>\n<p>With that pre-requisite out of the way, let&#8217;s get started with the review.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe class=\"lazyload\" title=\"Interesting idea BUT.... | HyperX Armada 27 gaming monitor review\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7CWW9hElL-g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Okay, so the HyperX Armada comes in two sizes and the one we have here is the larger 27-inch version. Once I opened up the box &#8211; I want to ask HyperX though &#8211; what&#8217;s up with the excessive amount of foam pouches? Just the base clamp of the monitor arm pole itself has like 3 foam pouches. Then for the accessories for the grommet mount, we have even more foam pouches. Even the screwdriver and screws themselves are in foam pouches.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":1,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.tech-critter.com\\\/review-hyperx-armada-27-gaming-monitor\\\/\"}' id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-51493 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a title=\"HyperX Armada 27 00004\"  href='https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00004.jpg'><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00004-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"HyperX Armada 27 00004\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00004-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00004-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-attachment-id=\"51498\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/review-hyperx-armada-27-gaming-monitor\/hyperx-armada-27-00004\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00004.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"HyperX Armada 27 00004\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;HyperX Armada 27 00004&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00004-640x360.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00004-1024x576.jpg\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a title=\"HyperX Armada 27 00005\"  href='https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00005.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00005-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"HyperX Armada 27 00005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00005-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00005-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-attachment-id=\"51499\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/review-hyperx-armada-27-gaming-monitor\/hyperx-armada-27-00005\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00005.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"HyperX Armada 27 00005\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;HyperX Armada 27 00005&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00005-640x360.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00005-1024x576.jpg\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>That aside, if you want to mount the HyperX Armada 27 on the grommet, you can.

though, there isn&#8217;t really much to do here other than the first menu where we can disabled Adaptive Sync and enable MPRT. If we do enable MPRT, then the display starts to flicker. The higher the MPRT level, the faster the screen flickers. Also, the higher level of MPRT will lower your maximum brightness level. Some people may also get eye fatigue and\/or a bad headache from this flickering. To know more about MPRT and why it exists, click the top right corner there instead.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00021.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"51515\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/review-hyperx-armada-27-gaming-monitor\/hyperx-armada-27-00021\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00021.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"HyperX Armada 27 00021\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;HyperX Armada 27 00021&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00021-640x360.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00021-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-51515 lazyload\" title=\"HyperX Armada 27 00021\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00021-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"HyperX Armada 27 00021\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"51515\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/review-hyperx-armada-27-gaming-monitor\/hyperx-armada-27-00021\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00021.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"HyperX Armada 27 00021\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;HyperX Armada 27 00021&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00021-640x360.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00021-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-51515 lazyload\" title=\"HyperX Armada 27 00021\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00021-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"HyperX Armada 27 00021\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00021-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00021-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00021-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00021-1140x641.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HyperX-Armada-27-00021.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then, remember that the monitor comes with a pole-type mount?
