HP OMEN - 27" IPS LED QHD 240Hz FreeSync and G-SYNC Compatible Gaming Monitor with HDR (DisplayPort, HDMI, USB) - Black

I purchased two of the HP Omen 27qs monitors and I am loving them! I bought them both as open-box fair condition for $262.08 (incl. tax). I having been using the first one I bought for 47 days and added the second one 21 days ago. At full retail price ($429.99), there are better options out there that will fill in some of the performance gaps that these monitors have. But I don't think you'll be disapointed either way. Positives: - 240 hz is no joke, super smooth and buttery - Color accuracy is great for most users (still calibrate it if you are doing photo/video editing though) - Perfectly bright for moderately bright rooms! (I have a window behind my desk that has full sun in the afternoon and I don't have issues seeing the screen contents) - Very shallow monitor profile, so it can sit very close to a wall - Menu is simple and easy to navigate - RGB lighting on the backside can be changed and customized (although limited customizations are available) - Doesn't scream "GAMING MONITOR", so it works well for a more sophisticated set up - All the performance specs seem to be accurate with no exagerations or misleading details - Software and driver updates are easy (and necessary) - Back cover fits over the top of low profile VESA mounting plates so there is a very clean look when attached to a monitor arm Negatives: - HDR isn't as good as other similarly priced options (the trade off seems to be 240hz for less HDR performance to stay in this price range) - The anti-glare coating is just...okay. It works, but it could be better. Other notes: - MUST USE DISPLAYPORT 1.4 CABLE FOR 1440p@240hz! - The first one I bought had a static issue that appeared randomly and covered the entire screen, but I updated software and drivers and swapped the DP cable to a higher quality one and the issue stopped (not sure which fix actually solved the issue though). - I use my monitors on a dual monitor arm mount, so I have no useful feedback on the included stand, but it felt sturdy. - These are not the lighest monitors on the market, so plan accordingly if you are using a monitor arm.

I recently snagged the HP Omen 240Hz 1440p monitor from Best Buy, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer for my setup! First off, shoutout to Erin, the Best Buy employee whose YouTube review caught my eye. Her review was spot-on, and I'm so glad I took her advice on this one. The price point is sweet, especially considering the beastly specs this monitor packs. First of all the colors are so vibrant and the image quality is very sharp with the right video/game resolution. And that 240Hz refresh rate? It's like buttery smooth gameplay on steroids. Moving from a 144hz to this, I didn’t think I would notice much difference but I just cannot go back to lower refresh rates without feeling it. The design is sleek and modern, fitting right in with the Omen family I'm building here. Plus, the build quality is top-notch – it feels like a premium product. After a solid month of putting this monitor through its paces, I can confidently say it's exceeded my expectations. For this price range honestly, this monitor takes it hands down. If you're in the market for a high-performance monitor that won't break the bank, the HP Omen 240Hz 1440p monitor is the way to go. Happy gaming, everyone!

I am Extremely happy with this product. The colors are vibrant and the hertz can handle even the most powerful gaming pc. Be sure and go into your graphics card settings and change it to 240hz as it is normally set to a default. I read a few reviews about the monitor randomly turning off / having a black screen. The remedy for that is ensure the DISPLAY PORT (DP) cable (if you decide to use it instead of HDMI) is seated correctly (visually inspect the shape of the cable lines up with the shape of the port as one side is angled). Be sure the power cable is seated correctly as well. If using the DP cable that is included, plug the end with the white tag into the rear of the PC directly into the Graphics’ card DP slot. The LED light Color and illumination pattern can be changed by pressing the menu button located next to the power button. Enjoy your top of the line gaming monitor

Perfect monitor for a console! Great gift for the holidays, to improve gaming experience with smoother frames and great coloring. Feels like you’re playing a remastered!

Excellent monitor for the price. Got it on sale and it has been worth every penny. Huge upgrade from my 60hz old work monitor id been using and if you’re in a similar situation you can’t go wrong here. You’ll 100% see an immediate and distinct improvement in colors, refresh rate, and overall clearness in the picture. The G sync is an added bonus that I’m fortunate enough to take advantage of but wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me had it not had the feature. Pictured is my set up with the old monitor I use to main on the left and the Omen HP on the right, just looking at the comparison you can clearly see the difference. 4.5 out of 5 great monitor.

I couldn’t be happier with this monitor! The picture quality is stunning, with vibrant colors and sharp details. The high refresh rate makes gaming incredibly smooth, and the low input lag is perfect for competitive play. It’s also great for work—text looks crisp, and the wide screen provides plenty of space for multitasking. The adjustable stand and slim bezels are a nice touch, and it was easy to set up. Overall, this monitor offers excellent performance and value for the price. Highly recommend it for both gamers and professionals!

I have had this monitor for over a year now. I love it, it’s much more accurate with colors than my LG IPS monitor. Super fast refresh rate helps too. My only complaint is that it takes a little longer than other monitors to switch from hdmi 1 to display port.

I love this display, it’s super cool looking and adjustable height on the fly but the best feature is the fact that it’s 240hz at 1440p, what else could you ask for?! The HDR makes gaming have very vibrant colors! For everything you get, this thing is an amazing value, even when it’s not on sale. I got this thing on sale at a pretty decent discount, I still can’t believe it. Probably the best monitor for the money. Make sure you go into the settings of the monitors menu and change the refresh speed to “5 fastest”. That will seriously give you amazing response rate if 1ms. For some reason it’s set to the slowest setting from factory. FYI it does have internal speakers, probably the weak point of this monitor but do you really expect to use speakers on a monitor? You should buy an external speaker set if that’s the case. Otherwise an amazing item!
