Customer Ratings & Reviews

Yes this monitor does have VESA support. The back plastic piece around the center comes off by pressing down on the bottom corners. Once off you unscrew the mounting point for the montitor stand and you can acces the VESA mounting point. This monitor is one of the best I have owned. The colors are amazing with the QD OLED panel. I currently don't use the KVM switch but would knock a star off for the current state of the firmware update process and bug with clicking and switching inputs. Otherwise this is ana amazing monitor and I dont regret my purchase especially on sale.

All I can say is wow, HP really did it with this Omen Transcend OLED Monitor. The size of this monitor, which is 31.5 in., plus it being a QD-OLED 4K panel, is amazing. The port selections are more than enough for most users. The real star here is the DP 2.1b port; it's probably one of the few large OD-OLED monitors to have it. I would have given 5 stars but this is my second model due to signal issues I face on the first model both the HDMI and DP ports couldn't pick up the signal or maintain it from my pc I troubleshoot via HP support plus numerous factory resets, but the problem persists, so I return it, and now I'm on a second model that seems to be working as it should. I am in love with this monitor. This is a must-buy, especially on sale. I paid $980 compared to the full cost of $1200. At that point, I would get an LG OLED 42. Pros: The display tech is out of this world, the ports selection make some high-end desktops and laptops look a joke. The size is perfect for individuals who want a more immersive feel than a 27-in. monitor can provide. I really like the white back. I don't mind the white bezels on the front, but some will either love or hate it. Cons: The power supply, aka the power brick, is a very accurate description because it is massive. I guess it could be built into the monitor, so they just made a brick. It is too complex for my OCD; there are so many settings on this monitor. Along with that, the UI is phenomenal. The crisp menu layout makes it look like actual desktop software, but it's in a monitor instead. Overall, this monitor is paired with my Omen by HP 45L Gaming Desktop PC GT22-3080. It has the HP GeForce RTX 5080 plus Intel Ultra 7. All I can say is it is one of the best prebuilts I have ever owned.

Most of the reviews I have read here have been about the pros, so I will mention 2 major bugs I have encountered so far. 1. Double clicking with the mouse anywhere on the screen will cause the KVM inputs to switch. This means that the screen will turn black if you only have one video source input connected. I have to manually press the KVM button to switch back to the original source. This only happens when I have a mouse connected to the USB ports on the back of the monitor. I tried to see if updating the firmware would resolve this, but this leads me to the 2nd issue. 2. The firmware update process is completely broken. When I try to update the firmware, the process fails due to it not being able to detect the lighting version. I contacted HP support but they were unable to resolve these issues. They suggested I should update the firmware.. which is impossible to do because installation process is broken. Hopefully, they can fix these issues soon, otherwise I will need to return this monitor. The main reason I purchased this monitor was for the KVM feature so I can use it as a work + gaming monitor setup. One more thing: I knew going in from other reviews that the power brick was going to be huge. But I was still shocked at the size of this thing. It is comically huge -- about the size of a mini desktop computer, which makes it hard to hide in cable management.

amazing brightness, clear picture, and 240hz viewing is total eye candy. this is the ultimate monitor for gaming, day traders, remote workers, or anyone who spends an inordinate amount of time in front of a screen. this monitor gives you an additional two USB-A 3.2, USB-C, and USB-C 140watt to provide extra ports, power, and expansion. the monitor lighting works with windows 11 now and you no longer have to use HP's bloatware (throw in the towel fellas) to control it if you care for such things. my only criticism is the controls on the back are cryptic and how un-intuitive they are. also, lines running down (indicative of OLED's) was completely eliminated once the firmware updated. bravo HP.

Great experience purchasing thru Best Buy online. The package arrived quickly and fully sealed, and the product itself was in excellent condition just advertised. Very happy with the product and purchase experience. The monitor itself is an outstanding piece of technology. I’m glad I had the opportunity to see it in-store prior to purchasing which helped me to pull the trigger. It is loaded to the gills with features, and the high power usb-c port makes charging laptops and tablets a breeze. The image quality is outstanding, and the onboard options menus are so clear and easy to use. Best monitor I’ve ever owned.

The OMEN Monitor is exactly what I wanted for my Dream PC setup. Thank you Best Buy for helping me making my gamer girl dream come true. ✨

This monitor was the perfect upgrade for my setup. My favorite part is probably the interface that allows you to customize nearly every aspect of your viewing experience.

Beautiful 4k 240 qd oled on hdr. But the monitor does not have vesa support. You have to use the stand. For $1300 that is truly unacceptable. This might not be an issue for you but it is for me. The display is as good as the rest of them. You win regardless of which one you choose in term of visials and motion clarityy, but I think you would be far better off going for the asus one because its cheaper, comes with a vesa adapater, and though it has a power brick, it pales in comparision to the monstrosity of the power brick the HP monitor comes with. If not the asus then go for the msi or any other one of those glossy gems but this one aint it

Great glossy qd oled. Hdr image is noce and bright. Minimal vrr flickering compared to other qd oleds. Rgb on the back is VERY bright if youre into that. The included stand has great height adjustability.

I just purchased this monitor yeaterday. This has to be tbe best monitor I’ve ever own. I have a 7900xtx and using the new DisplayPort 2.1. I can’t believe how fluid games are running. The is a must buy!

Amazing monitor. Graphics are amazing. Very useful.

Got this at a really good price (open box excellent condition). I love the price I got it for but didn't get what best buy had advertised. The condition is horrible with the screen scratching off. I wanted to exchange it for another excellent condition monitor but was told that I would need to pay the difference and that's an extra $400. I need help this is a horrible experience for me.

Pros: + Versatile, multiple modern full spec inputs + Shareable between desktop PC and MacBook + Sale pricing overcomes issues + 240Hz is fast enough, Mac Mini M4 base connects at 240Hz, MacBook Pro M4Max tops off at 165Hz is also fast enough + Mac Software HP Display Center has promise, I hope they keep updating it. It's a January 2025 first release. + On paper, this should be able to keep up with charging future high end laptops, but USB-C charging is a mess so most times you'll see 100Watt charging (which is still top of the line), technically supports 140Watt and possibly more theoretically. Cons: - Awkward, proprietary power brick is funny and I'm certain it'll be hard to live with over the years. MSI 90watt charging USB-C model users integrated power supply and standard cable. MSI gamer styling is not good but its subtle and easy to ignore, I think MSI has a winner. - Sale pricing absolutely a must, and it would be better if it was priced right to begin with. - Could be brighter in daylight but probably healthy for eyes that it isn't. My results: Base Model Mac Mini M4 ($500) powered this at 240Hz and it looks great. Consider this monitor and that tiny Mac Mini M4 over an iMac. M4Pro and M4Max MacBook Pro's cap out at 165Hz and I don't know why that is. Could be corrected later. 16" M4Pro MacBook charges at 140Watts over USB-C which is refreshing. 14" M4Max MacBook Pro charges at 100Watt over USB-C. Dell XPS 15 Charges at 100Watt or 90 Watt (unclear) but NOT at 130Watt. It's the 12th Gen i7 XPS 15 and it needs a special Dell charger to go 130Watt which it needs for full performance. 165Hz 4K. Desktop 4070 Ti 240Hz no issues

Stunning picture quality on a semi-glossy 4k QD-OLED display with 240hz designed for both gamers and professionals. Gets plenty bright. However, it is held back by firmware update issues, limited tilt, and the built-in Hyper-X speakers are not as robust/deep as I desired. The sound tears in very detailed listening compared to LG's built in speakers. The built-in speakers are not immersive and required equalizer fine tuning by me for it to be pasasble. Very limited sound stage. The monitor stand feels cheap and takes up a lot of area if using a small desk. The inablity to dim the monitor during HDR was infuriating at first but I found work arounds such as HDR local dimming inside Windows and using the lowest clipping setting in the built-in UI. 140 watt charger to charge phones and laptops is nice. KVM works. White boarder is stylish but hurts immersion in brightly-lit rooms. Excels in dark environments. The screen quality and clarity blows me away. The UI features are a nice addition offering gaming and professional settings.

This monitor was absolutely amazing! The performance, screen quality and port selection was outstanding! The only things that I did not like about it is the white outline around the screen due to the entire housing be a white plastic, the level of noise produced from the fan and the gargantuan size of the power brick. Aside from those things the monitor performs absolutely amazing.

This monitor is on another level. The display , colors, contrast, Everything looks amazing and the availability on ports the instantaneous refresh rate , the glossy display , inky blacks… the speakers are amazing. All im saying is … someone cooked here.

I’ve been using OLED screens across multiple devices for the past few months, and they live up to the hype with some caveats. The worst of all being that most need calibration to be accurate, and the software to calibrate them is a mess at best. I wanted another 32in OLED monitor to pair with my other main display, which is also an OLED screen from another brand. I specifically wanted to try a different brand, to see if there was a better approach to the software included with the monitor. That is how I landed on picking up the HP OMEN Transcend 32” OLED. I’ve had a good experience with the HP OMEN laptops, so hoping that extends to the monitors. Pros: - Easy to navigate menus. - Pre-Calibration is decent. - Includes all the cables and plenty of plugs with KVM switch. Cons: - Pre-Calibration for HDR leaves colors slightly Grayish and muted. - Cables provided are on the short end, would like to see 5-6 ft. - Headphone holder only attaches to Left side. Setup: Before I even got to the monitor, HP impressed me with how thoughtfully designed the packaging was. The packaging is all made using recycled materials, mostly cardboard with plenty of space for all the included cables. Honestly, I appreciate both the extra thought and environmental consideration as it makes what is usually just a step to the product an enjoyable process. Setting up the OMEN Transcend 32” OLED was easy as monitors go. The monitor itself is light for such a huge device, it was easy enough to hold with one hand while attaching the monitor arm. A quick guide is included with 8 steps to set up, but the steps only outline the use of the included stand. If you want to mount on a monitor arm, you will have to pop off the back cover around the joint that attaches to the normal stand and unscrew it from the back of the monitor to get to the VESA mounts. Cables and Connectivity: One of the bigger shocks was the size of the power adapter, it is 8in by 4.75in by 1.9in and weights ~4lbs. It is better described as a brick for both size and weight, which is unruly for smaller desk space. Luckily, I’ve got plenty of space to hide this monstrosity out of sight. HP really steps up the connectivity game here with the number of ports on the back, there are 2xHDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, 2xUSB-C Upstream (1x DisplayPort Alt with 140W Power Delivery), 1xUSB-C 3.2, 3x USB-A 3.2, and a combo headphone jack. This is in part because of the included OMEN Gear Switch feature, which is just a fancy name for a KVM switch that allows the monitor to act as a plug for USB devices like Mouse and Keyboard between multiple devices such as a laptop and desktop. This makes it easy to switch input devices for all attached devices without having to swap plugs around. Additionally, all the ports are facing directly out the back of the monitor for clear and easy access. HP includes ALL The cables you need, but the included USB-C 20GBps cable is only 2 ft long! Ideally, this would be for a laptop or tabletop connection, but it would have been nice to see a longer cable, at least in similar length to the other video cable options. HP also amped up the built-in speakers which are from HyperX, like the audio solution included in their OMEN branded laptops. Even though the speakers sound alright for built-in monitor speakers, I will opt to use my headset or soundbar, as I’ve got the option. For those without a sound option, this will be a nice surprise. Oddly enough, HP opted to include a little headphone hook with the monitor, that connects to the top left side of the monitor. But for my current setup, that puts it right against my other monitor. It would have been nice to be able to put the hook on either side of the monitor, but it’s not a feature I was looking for. Software: I have to say, HP did it right with the software. Which is to say, you do not need to go through multiple menus or apps to adjust the setting of your monitor. You can even just use the joystick on the back of the monitor to navigate all the menus and adjust all the settings with minimum effort. Everything is straight forward, the biggest thing to take note of is the Professional Vs. Gaming modes, which changes how the presets and advanced display options available in the menus. This made adjusting the monitor settings so easy, I was able to find my ideal setting in less than a minute. This is how a monitor is supposed to work. Alternatively, you can use the OMEN Gaming Hub, which is downloaded from the Windows Store, to manage the display settings from a connected device. This is done by using either C1 or C2 USB-C plugs. But you do not have to use the software at all! That is the best part of this monitor, and exactly what I was hoping for. Color Calibration: HP went the extra mile with this monitor by including a report on the color grading, which honestly was cool. As I mentioned, I’ve got another panel by a different brand that I’m ashamed to admit how much time I’ve spent fiddling with the settings to get the colors right. With the OMEN Transcend 32, I set the HDR mode, and that has been all I’ve been using since with little only minor complaints. I found the pre-calibration to be a little muted, making bright colors seem grayish but it is miles better than other panels I’ve used. I could see in dark scenes easily while also getting plenty of color variation. I used a familiar location in a game I’ve spent too much time in, Destiny 2’s Tower Location under an overhang as it provides both light and dark extremes. The HP OMEN Transcend 32 blew me away with being able to clearly display all objects in the scene without any manual tweaking, for something I had previously spend hours adjusting on other displays. One thing you will have to adjust is whether to use the App controlled, Limited, or Unlimited range which controls the HDR peak brightness. This is helpful if you want HDR, but mostly want to control it via app settings rather than messing with the monitor settings every time. Performance: The OMEN Transcend 32 really sets the bar for OLED monitors. The monitor performs amazingly with the pre-configured settings, such that most users would probably find the presets more than enough for a perfect gaming experience. If a more custom setting is needed, the options are easy to get to and once set will save, which makes it easy to switch between modes. Otherwise, the specs are pretty much a copy of many other OLED monitors released this year: 4K Resolution with 240 Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time. It’s the little tweaks and software that makes HP’s take on the OLED monitor stand out. One such stand feature is the KVM switch really makes a difference if you are going to plug in multiple devices because you can quickly switch controls from one device to the other, without swapping cables. Plugs all worked as advertised. Conclusion: The HP OMEN Transcend 32 OLED is a solid take on the 32in OLED monitor, with a simple yet strong focus on gaming. Features like the Gear Switch, 140W USB-C Power Delivery, and the Optional Gaming Hub software control make this a contender for one of the best 32in OLED monitors available. Plus, the pre-calibration is decent enough that most users won’t need go through hours of tweaking to get a good picture. Overall, I’m happy with it and adding it to my list of recommendations for gamers looking for the best available monitor.

PROS: • Beautiful Quantum Dot UHD OLED Screen • True Blacks that rival higher-priced TVs • USB-C DisplayPort alt mode • Tempest tech for burn-in anxiety relief • Plenty of HDMI ports and a nice input hub • Very lightweight monitor for the size • Flat stand (These are my favorite because you lay speakers or whatnot on top of the stand base) CONS: • Price ($1300, which is nearing 77-inch OLED TV prices) • No remote (I feel like a remote should be required for this price!) • very small white bezel around the screen (this is a little gripe because it's not super noticeable, but I'd rather the front be black instead) When it comes to hyping anything up, there is a delicate balance of time that a company must take into consideration. If something is released too soon, many potential buyers may not find out about it in time, but if too much time goes by? The hype can fade, and other devices may come out and overshadow the device they were trying to excite. That's what's happened here with HP's Omen Transcend 032 UHD OLED monitor. When it was initially "announced" in January 2024, it immediately got hype because it was one of the first monitors offering DP 2.1, which allows for 80Gbps bandwidth and 4K 240Hz streams without DCS or issues. However, upon further inspection and research, these monitors can only use 40Gbps of the 80, which doesn't fully utilize the DP 2.1 capabilities. It's the first of its kind, so HP may have limited it while offering something "revolutionary." Or it may be a marketing ploy. We'll see what Nvidia and AMD will do to utilize it as more and more monitors offer it. What is on board with this excellent monitor is: 99 percent DCI-P3 coverage and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification with peak brightness up to 1,000 nits, as well as uses Omen's "Tempest" technology to cool the OLED panel during prolonged gaming sessions - which in turn helps with potential burn-in. OLED monitors still have the potential for burn-in, which can scare some consumers from taking the leap. However, as someone who has had LG OLED monitors for years, I haven't dealt with any burn-in personally. Other features are: Dolby Vision and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro for variable refresh rate support. This is also a Quantum Dot OLED panel, which should translate to even more vibrant colors. January 2024 is a long time to announce something, only for it to come out in November 2024! HP must have been confident in its offerings. And for the most part, after unboxing and setting up, I understand why. This monitor is premium through and through, from the stand to the white backing, the port hub, and the beautiful screen. Another significant feature is USB-C with DisplayPort alt mode and 140 watts of power delivery, enough for even powerful gaming laptops. That's what I'll be using this monitor primarily for. I have an excellent gaming laptop that I love using, but I'd love even more to hook it up to this monitor for the 32 inches of goodness. For $1300, it better be premium, right? I do wish it would have come with a remote! Many people use these monitors as TVs in addition to office work nowadays, especially with a monitor with extra HDMI ports like this one. I love using my LG remote to change inputs on my monitor in my downstairs office, so no remote is disappointing for this price range. This thing is releasing at an exciting time because word has it that other companies (LG, Samsung, for example) will be coming out with their next-generation monitors very soon (Holiday. That's another reason why it is interesting HP decided to wait so long to release this one. Was it because they wanted this to line up with the releases of another next gens? Because if they were to have released this back in Holiday 23, I'm sure it would be rated one of the best monitors you could buy. There is no perfect monitor, yet this is the best one you can buy now. Who knows what the other monitors will offer now? If you need a monitor right now, understand that this may be the best you can get. Even with its CONS, I'd say go for it if you need a premium monitor and don't want to wait for what comes next - because, let's face it, we can always "wait until the next gen comes."

This is an all-around great monitor. With a 4k resolution, you get plenty of fidelity in both games and work (or just web browsing), while also getting a ton of screen real estate at just shy of 32.” The OLED panel brings great punchy colors and true blacks, while factory color calibration ensures accuracy. It checks all of my boxes. __OLEDS ARE NOT ALWAYS GOOD, THIS ONE IS__ I have other modern OLED gaming monitors, including super ultra-wides, but higher resolutions seems to be how to make them shine. The reason seems to be that the sub-pixel layout of OLEDs can create a grainy effect at lower resolutions (due to the larger blue diodes), while the non-grid layout has traditionally bested Window’s ability to render text smoothly. I find my 1440p OLEDs looks great for games, but fail me for basic web-browsing for this very reason - text just looked terrible. It’s almost contrarian as this isn’t the case with an LCD panel at the same lower resolutions… Luckily, that’s not the case here - with such a dense resolution, everything looks great. Colors are bright and accurate and you gain the unbeatable black levels of an OLED. __DESIGN__ While a monitor in white isn’t what I normally would gravitate to, it looks great. It feels modern and would pair well with a PS5, aesthetically. The screen feels edgeless, with a bit of a presumed buffer offered to OLEDs to reduce the chance of burn-in. Speaking of preventing burn-in, OMEN claims to have a great cooling solution built-in to help dissipate heat and keep the panel healthy. The base, while visually on the small side, feels hefty enough to hold the monitor up with ease. The arm is solid and heavy as well. The bulk continues with a transformer brick that is comically large, ****way**** bigger than I’ve ever seen before - and heavy. It provides a similarly super-thick power cable to the monitor, connecting with a chunky (likely proprietary) 4 prong connection. In terms of unique features, a magnetic headphones hooks is included and allows you to hang a pair at the left corner of the display. I wasn’t sure what I’d think of it, but it works and looks nice. Plus, when you don’t need it, it’s trivial to take it back off. And since this is a gaming monitor, OMEN included rear backlighting. Accessible from the monitor menu, you can adjust the lights to various patterns and, as I prefer… a nice soft white that helps illuminate why space behind and around the screen. It feels tasteful. Built-in speakers are respectable, but not amazing. They lack a bit of bass, but are otherwise fine. Less fine is that it seems that primarily hardware control over the speakers is buried in the display’s menus. Software buttons seemed unable to adjust the baseline output of these, so navigating the display menu with the little joystick on the back was the only way I got the sound levels up…. Though this may not be necessary all of the time once you’ve found a relative output you like. And finally, a fantastic OLED panel is at the heart of it all. I’ll say it again - it’s hard to beat an OLED for bright, accurate colors and deep true-blacks. With higher refresh rates achievable, games can look buttery smooth. Plus at 4k, you don’t get any of the downsides for productivity or text rendering. Everything I throw at it looks amazing. It’s a trifecta of features that make this great. __REFRESH RATE__ Let’s get this out of the way too… 240hz at 4k is hard to achieve at the time of writing. Even with expensive cables and rigs, you’ll be lucky to push that much data. While this monitor advertises DP 2.1, it doesn’t seem to do so without compression (DSC) - but there are already so many things working against getting to this level of resolution and speed, that I feel that the discussion is moot. The picture on this monitor looks amazing, and these specs allow it to adapt to just about any situation I need. For some, they may feel they need the best, and a theory that avoiding this compression will subsequently avoid the computational decompression and provide a noticeable advantage in competitive FPS’s is a bit silly to me. Most will play at lower resolutions if speed is important, and for my setup, I struggled to get good quality gameplay at 240hz. That’s no doubt the limitations on my hardware and not this monitor. Like I said, this monitor has enough to adapt to your needs, while reliably providing a beautiful solution to each. Playing at slightly lower resolutions when I need a higher refresh rate is an easy trade-off for me, but your needs (and hardware power) may vary. - And if you’ve never heard of this discussion in the gaming community, best to skip over it as nothing important to your needs ;) __OVERALL__ OMEN has a great monitor on their hands - resolution, speed, size, and color fidelity all come together to provide just about everything I’d want from a monitor. Sound is decent, but I’ll stick with my external speakers… and while only the most high-end machines and cables are likely to be capable of getting the maximum out of it, it provides a fantastic image for just about any use, from gaming to productivity.

I didn't realize just how big this monitor was until I actually got it out of the box and setup on my desk at home. This sucker is huge, and even though the dimensional size is smaller than my curved OLED it just physically looks and feels so much larger. When I opened the box the first thing that I noticed was just how massive the power supply was for it. Out the box with the stand attached and setup on my desk was less than 5 mins. It came with all the necessary cables to hook up to my gaming desktop using the display port cable, my work laptop using the HDMI cable, and the USB C to USB C cable to hook connect it to my gaming desktop. It has multiple ports that allowed me to plug the receiver for my headset in as well as a cable to charge and use my SCUF Instinct Pro controller. The blacks on this monitor or some.of the darkest I have probably seen and the HDR really made the games I have played so far really pop! I haven't experienced a bit of ghosting or shuddering with any game I have thrown at it and if you have an Nvidia graphics card you can take advantage of all thier advance features. Pros - Picture quality and sharpness with super deep blacks - Multiple resolution options with industry leading refresh rates to climate any ghosting or studdering - LED lights on the back that can be customized and even synched up with your PC if you have the software to synchronize it - Lots of built in features such as an FPS mode and also aim assist to put a permanent cross hair on the screen for improved hipfire accuracy - Audio via the HDMI laptop I had connected sounded clear and crisp - Removable headset hook to hold your headphones when not playing Cons - It is gigantic and takes up a significant footprint on your desk - It is very heavy and the power supply is extremely large and heavy Overall this is an outstanding gaming monitor that can also double as a work monitor. I currently hookup my wome laptop via the HDMI and then game in the evening using it with my Omen gaming desktop. The sharpness and clarity on this monitor really impressed me when gaming and playing Halo Infinite really allowed me to see all the details and color ranges it can produce.
