Outstanding Performance and Visuals – A True Premium Gaming Monitor The HP OMEN Transcend 31.5” QD-OLED 4K UHD 240Hz monitor is absolutely phenomenal and easily one of the best displays I’ve ever used. From the moment it’s powered on, the image quality is jaw-dropping. The QD-OLED panel delivers incredibly deep blacks, vibrant colors, and stunning contrast that makes everything—from fast-paced games to movies—look rich and immersive. The 4K resolution paired with a 240Hz refresh rate is a game-changer. Gameplay is unbelievably smooth and responsive, especially in competitive titles, while still offering incredible sharpness and detail. Motion clarity is excellent with virtually no ghosting, and the ultra-fast response time makes a noticeable difference during intense gaming sessions. HDR performance is another standout. Highlights are bright, colors pop without looking oversaturated, and dark scenes maintain impressive detail thanks to true OLED blacks. It’s also fantastic for productivity and content consumption—the large 31.5” screen gives plenty of space for multitasking, and text looks crisp and clean. Build quality is premium, with a sleek, modern design that looks great on any desk. The stand is sturdy and highly adjustable, and the overall aesthetic feels refined and high-end. Connectivity options are solid, making it easy to pair with high-end PCs and next-gen consoles. While it’s definitely a premium-priced monitor, the performance and visual quality fully justify the cost. If you’re looking for a top-tier gaming and entertainment display with cutting-edge technology, the HP OMEN Transcend QD-OLED 4K 240Hz is an exceptional choice and worth every penny.

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.

I've had the Omen Transcend 32 OLED for a little while now and I've been really happy with it. The colors are super vibrant, blacks look amazing, and everything feels incredibly smooth thanks to the near-instant response time. It also has great connectivity with plenty of ports, and the user interface is by far the best I've used on a monitor, it's simple and easy to navigate. My only real complaint is the firmware updates. No matter what I tried, they just wouldn't work. Thankfully it hasn't affected day-to-day use, but it's definitely frustrating. Other than that, it's been an excellent monitor and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a high-end OLED display.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I love this monitor so much!!!!! The best monitor I have ever owned 240 refresh rate yes please!!!! Oled screen heck yes!!!!! 4k you know it baby

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!

Absolute beast of a monitor, display is beautiful, and OS is probably the best design user friendly system I’ve ever seen. Only one negative I have is the enormous power brick but the monitor does make use of it by providing 140w of power to another device such as a laptop if connected and some really great KVM functions. Firmware update was simple for me.

I've had this monitor for about a year! paired it with my 4080 super. I was going to go with main brands like LG or MSI, but came across this one by HP. Wowzers is all I can say. Everything has surpassed my expectations, and I can't say how impressed I've been with my experience. It's a beauty!

Excellent monitor, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my gaming and photo editing life.

The open box item was missing few cables. The screen time is about 70 hours. The item itself is good quality but some functions such as Gear Switch are only available for Windows 11 users. Although, hp app is kinda laggy. DP 2.1 is UHBR10 means 4k@240hz is only on DSC. Scratches easily.

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.

The backlighting is nice and interchangeable with whatever tone/mood you want it to be and the display is rapid with the response time. I like using it as my main monitor for my particular set up, would recommend to anyone that likes to customize all details.

Couldn’t have asked for a better OLED MONITOR absolutely gorgeous little pricy but worth the $$$ can sometimes find it on sale which I did.

This is an amazing oled monitor it is worth every penny

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. ✨

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.

Not a single regret. Colors are amazing! HDR and deep blacks are spectacular honestly. NEVER going back to IPS for my main display.
