Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve purchased four HP Omen monitors—not because of any issues, but because I genuinely like them that much. I run two dual-monitor setups and have had zero connectivity problems, whether for office work, creative tasks, or gaming. These monitors are impressively versatile. My first setup paired them with a Samsung laptop, and later I transitioned to using them with my Alienware Aurora R16 PC. I own two of the older models with the triangular base, and recently added two of the newer versions, which are a major upgrade. The updated design feels more modern and functional, with cleaner aesthetics and improved build quality. One standout feature is the built-in speakers—a rarity among gaming monitors. While they won’t replace dedicated audio equipment, they’re surprisingly decent for casual use and help justify the slightly higher price tag. That said, these monitors frequently go on sale, so I highly recommend keeping an eye out for discounts. Performance-wise, the refresh rate and response time hold up well, even under demanding AAA titles on both my PS5 and Xbox. I’ve experienced minimal input lag and no noticeable screen tearing. The visuals are crisp, motion is smooth, and overall gaming performance has been consistently strong. At this point, HP Omen is my go-to brand for both productivity and gaming. I wouldn’t choose anything else.

This monitor has been fantastic so far. The high refresh rate really shines, everything feels incredibly smooth with fast, clean transitions and no noticeable ghosting. Motion clarity is excellent, especially in fast-paced games. The QHD resolution looks sharp and crisp, and paired with my Alienware R16 running an NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU, performance has been outstanding. Games look detailed without sacrificing frame rate, and the overall experience feels very responsive. Colors are vibrant, the IPS panel looks great from different angles, and the adjustable stand makes it easy to dial in a comfortable setup, doesnt matter how much you move it it just stays, solid. The RGB is not overly on your face yet it looks great and it gives off a nice background glow. If you’re looking for a fast, smooth gaming monitor with excellent image quality, this one absolutely delivers.

Solid monitor, colors and refresh are good, speakers are lacking, but they are monitor speakers, wasn’t expecting much to begin with. Base stand is slightly tilted and the clip that hold the cables in the back broke almost immediately. But for the sale price it was a good grab.

Recently went into my local Best Buy looking for a second gaming monitor. The store had many open box/returned units in the computer section and this monitor was among them. The customer service person was very helpful as he tested the monitor on a pc to make sure it was fully functional and had no dead pixels. I can say that the monitor has great color and responce time. There are some online videos with setup suggestions to help with this. The minitor is worth the money over other units trying to undercut it by a few dollars. If it goes on sale or a floor unit is for sale I would not hesitate.

Sick monitor, paired with my unit of a pc this thing absolutely keeps up. For the price you’re really getting a quality built monitor, usually you can catch a sale on best buy which is how I got mine. 7 months of owning and thinking of getting another for my second monitor. Get it!!!

Quality is good for the price. I dont game so I dont care for OLED or any of the fancy stuff. It does the job just fine and the audio is great too. My only complaint is that I wish I didnt have to get an VESA adapter for a monitor arm.

Had it for a couple of months. Works great, especially with the fact it has 2 hdmis and a display port; allows me to connect a lot of different devices

Nice and sharp screen, nice viewing angles and really good for fast paced games like Call of Duty, Black Ops, etc Highly recommend if your willing to spend a few extra bucks (but do get the protection plan in case of burn in)

Great monitor. Ended up upgrading to an OLED and using this as my second screen now.

Fit perfect with my setup, quality is outstanding. I use refresh rate 240 and i have no issues with this product. just everything so smooth and quick.

Having a monitor that responds efficiently during gaming sessions determines how much you can enjoy them. The refresh rate, resolution, monitor size, and panel type all have a significant influence when it comes to gaming. This monitor satisfactorily meets these requirements and offers a little more. The box includes the monitor, a DisplayPort cable, a USB Type-A to Type-B cable, the power cable, the base stand, a cable holder, and some documentation. The installation process is simple, and it can be easily assembled, although it is also possible to install the monitor on a wall mount, depending on the preferences and needs of each user. This HP Omen monitor has a minimalist yet elegant design. I love the RGB light detail on the back, and the monitor bezels leave enough space to better view content. It has a power button and another button for navigating the menu, and it comes with a cable holder, which is always helpful for keeping your desk organized. This monitor can be adjusted horizontally, and you can also adjust the tilt and height. It has various input ports, the most important of which is the DisplayPort, which is where you can get the signal that allows you to achieve a 280Hz refresh rate. It also has HDMI ports in case you want to connect to other compatible devices. Although this HP Omen monitor has speakers that work well, they are not essential when gaming. I believe that most gamers use dedicated headphones for this task, mainly for comfort and advantage when playing. In terms of performance, despite having an IPS panel, the image quality is quite good, the color representation is very accurate, dark colors look good, and in contrast to light colors, there is no grayish effect that other monitors give. The 2560 x 1440 resolution combined with the 280Hz refresh rate really makes a difference. Over the years, I have changed gaming monitors from 60Hz to 280Hz, and one thing I can say is that once you play at such high refresh rates, it is impossible to go back to playing at less than 120Hz or 144Hz. There is definitely a noticeable difference. In both bright and low-light conditions, this monitor performs very well, in addition to reducing blue light emissions. Personally, for health reasons, I use blue light filter glasses, but it's still helpful that HP hasn't overlooked this very important issue, especially when we spend long hours sitting in front of the monitor. In summary, this HP Omen 280Hz 2560 x 1440 gaming monitor is a good choice for gaming as well as watching multimedia content. It has a good design and a good size 27”, which I consider to be the standard in gaming, a response time of 1ms, which is also important for games that require greater precision, RGB lighting that is a must-have in any gaming setup ;) enough ports, and even speakers that perform well. While the price may seem a little high, the features this product offers make up for it. If you want a good monitor with a high refresh rate and good resolution, I can definitely recommend it.

This is a beautiful monitor that is a perfect match for my HP Omen Max 16

Awesome monitor. Great visual quality. HDR is great.

The older IPS monitor my girlfriend was using finally gave out, so I needed to pick up a new monitor to replace it. She already has an OLED monitor for the main one, so I wanted to replace the older one with another IPS to keep it simple. I saw that HP had the OMEN 27” IPS QHD 280Hz Gaming Monitor recently released, which piqued my interests as I’ve had only good things to say about the HP OMEN Transcend OLED monitor I already own. So, I decided to pick up the OMEN 27” IPS gaming monitor and see if HP OMEN has kept it going. Pros: - 280Hz Refresh Rate at 2K Resolution. - Good color calibration for IPS. - Settings can be adjusted via the OMEN App. Cons: - No side to side tilt on the stand. Setup & Specs: I always enjoy opening an HP OMEN product, the packaging is very well thought out with very little waste and all components neatly packaged inside. The HP OMEN 27” IPS monitor was no different. The packaging is designed to make setup easy as well, allowing direct access to the back of the monitor while in the box to easily attach the monitor stand. Included with the monitor is the stand, a DisplayPort cable, USB-B to USB-A cable, and the power cable. Unlike other monitors, the HP OMEN 27” IPS doesn’t have a power brick, just a standard 3 prong power cable that plugs into the monitor directly. The included Stand is solid with plenty of vertical height, tilt, and rotate so you can have the monitor in horizontal or vertical position with ease. But the Stand doesn’t allow for any side-to-side tilt, which means you must move the stand and monitor for the right angle, unless you use a monitor arm with a VESA 100x100 mount. The monitor is 27in sized, with a native resolution of 2560x1440 (2K). The Refresh Rate is 280Hz with a 1ms response time. The monitor is VESA DisplayHDR 400, which is the lowest HDR rating but still helpful to have available. Software: The OMEN Gaming Hub app is one of the few monitor software tools I enjoy using, it allows you to adjust the monitor settings without having to use the little dial or buttons navigating through a compact menu. Instead, you can on the adjust the settings anytime via the app with a DisplayPort cable connection. Each tab provides different settings that can be adjusted: Picture Mode provides different preset color options. Some might prefer the manual method, but for most gamers I think the defaults cover the main options perfectly, and you can always go into the manual monitor settings to adjust each individually. I prefer the HP Enhance+ as it tends to balance the colors the best across multiple types of games and media. Settings has the general Brightness, Contrast, and Response Time. There is also the Adaptive-Sync feature, which is great for reducing screen tearing. Also on this page is the Moving Picture Response Time, which inserts black frames between normal frames to make images look smoother. This can be helpful but is not enabled with Adaptive-Sync which I prefer over the smoother moving images. Lighting controls the RBG light square on the back, which I feel is a little unnecessary, but it is labeled as a Gaming Monitor, so it must have some RBG somewhere on it. Audio controls the volume of the audio out and the EQ mode, which is a nice option if you’re using wired headphones or IEM’s, but I doubt most will use these settings. Overlay allows you to add some helpful screen overlays like a crosshair with color and shape customizable options, an FPS Counter, and a Timer Connectivity: For connectivity, there is 1xDisplayPort 1.4, 2xHDMI 2.0, 2xUSB-A 3.0 (downstream), and 1xUSB-B (Upstream) ports. To get the maximum frame rate of 280Hz, you will need to use the DisplayPort 1.4 port with either the provide cable or a DisplayPort 1.4 or better cable. On the HDMI 2.0 connection you will only be able to get 144Hz at native 2K resolution. Performance: The 280Hz refresh rate is amazing, paired with the 1ms response time and Adaptive-Sync, games run smooth and clean with no tears. This is also just as dependent on your systems graphics card as the monitors ability, so your results may vary. I’ve got an RTX 4080, which was easily able to hit a stable 240-260 at 2K on Fortnite and other games with tweaks to the game settings. I don’t try to run it at the absolute maximum, but at least above 200 fps on most games to keep the feel of the game smooth. The HP OMEN 27” IPS was able to do that like a breeze. For an IPS panel, the color is very good. I really could only tell mainly in darker scenes or all black, as the OLED panel next to it really made the difference apparent, but compared to the older IPS panel, the colors on the HP OMEN 27” IPS were way brighter and vivid. Brightness is only rated at 400 nits, but the monitor does allow HRD settings which helps pop the colors and make it feel brighter. Though some games end up looking like they have a Neon filter over them, but after adjusting the settings I was able to settle on a good color balance along side plenty bright enough to see in darker rooms. Conclusion: If you want an amazing IPS gaming monitor with plenty of bells and whistles, without breaking the bank, then the HP OMEN 27” IPS gaming monitor is a great option to consider. With the 280Hz refresh rate and Adaptive-Sync, your gaming will be super smooth paired with the 1ms response time. I really like the HP OMEN products for their quality, features, and software, which is why this monitor is getting added to my list of recommendations.

The HP Omen 27QS is a nice monitor. I have it connected using the DisplayPort cable onto an EVGA nVidia 3070. My CPU is an Intel i7-10700K. It may sound like outdated computer components but do not be fooled, it runs great on the games I play. Firstly, it has a good number of connections. It has 1 DisplayPort 1.4, 2 HDMI 2.0, USB ports, and headphone jack. It includes a cable organizer clip, Display Port cable, and USB cable – it looks like USB3.1, USB-A to type B. It supports VESA mount 100x100. There is a directional button in the back to navigate around the monitor’s menus. I find it responsive. There are several color options such as FPS, RPG, Native, Standard, and HP Enhance+ just to name a few. I left it on standard and have been pleased with the results so far. I enabled G-Sync and it is currently running at 280Hz at 2560x1440. I played Overwatch 2. While in the loading room waiting for the game to start, FPS floats around 220-240. While battling, FPS will drop to about 160-180. It is very smooth, no lag or frame loss. It will vary though depending on the level but that is about the average I have seen. Being that the panel is IPS, the viewing angles are great. For me, I do not notice any loss of colors and glare is okay when viewing from an angle. I like the monitor. It performs well for the games I play. The colors are great for me.

Excellent QualityThe HP OMEN 27” IPS QHD 280Hz monitor absolutely delivers on performance. The 2560x1440 (QHD) resolution is incredibly sharp, and the IPS panel provides vibrant, accurate colors with excellent viewing angles. Whether gaming or streaming, everything looks crisp and detailed. The 280Hz refresh rate is a game changer. Motion is unbelievably smooth, especially in fast-paced competitive games. With both FreeSync Premium and G-SYNC compatibility, gameplay stays tear-free and responsive with no noticeable stutter or input lag. The build quality feels premium, and the adjustable stand (height, tilt, and swivel) makes it easy to find the perfect ergonomic position. Setup was quick, and having both DisplayPort and HDMI options makes connectivity simple.

This is a great monitor with a good refresh rate and resolution, perfect for gamers who prefer to game at 2k. It has two usb ports that you can connect peripherals to, and features HDMI and display port support! It is a tad bit pricey when not on sale, but you do get a very high quality product for the price. With HDR enabled the colors and the blacks are very good. The RGB is a good touch, though i would've liked some lining the bottom of the monitor. Overall very solid monitor!
