Customer Ratings & Reviews

When taking this out the box I couldn't believe how clean the monitor looked before I even had it attached to the stand. It is practically edgeless and has no border or casing which gives this monitor one amazing look. It is sleek and looks great anywhere I have out it and can adjust up or down and tilt as well. It does have the Vesa 100x100 bracket pattern so if you decide to mount this on the wall it will be easy to find a mounting bracket or articulating arm. It came with all the necessary cables as well needed to use it right out the box including a Display Port and HDMI cable and the power supply. As far as visual quality this monitor exceeded my expectations with the black levels that OLED monitors are known for. The refresh rate has allowed for me to play a variety of games without ghosting or tearing and one game I really enjoy is Bodycam which is built on the Unreal 5 engine and just looks amazing and really shines on this monitor. Pros - Colors pop and the black levels are exactly why OLED's are the preferred gaming technology with HDR - Phenomenal performance without any ghosting or tearing - Has vesa mount pattern to allow for mounting on the wall - Has multiple video out options and USB connectivity as an additional USB hub - On screen options for fixed targeting objects to assist in FPS games Cons - Limited to 1440P resolution, not true 4K - Heavy For a pure gaming monitor this delivers for a more budget friendly OLED gaming experience that even at a 1440P resolution provides outstanding visuals with superior refresh rates and HDR performance.

In an unfortunate turn of events, my gaming PC decided to die on me right before this arrived (my SSD died out of nowhere, and I've been waiting on RMA for quite some time to see if they'll replace it). Over the course of time I've had it, I haven't been able to test it for gaming purposes, but I did use it with my Mac for some art and general computer usage. First off, this thing is nice. In the box is a little slip of paper that lets you know it's already been color calibrated, so you shouldn't need to worry about that for color accuracy. You can definitely tell - it's gorgeous, no matter what you're looking at. Of course, that's par for the course for OLED, but even so. It never ceases to amaze me how much the colors pop, and how black the blacks can get. The screen portion is insanely thin. Probably the thinnest I've ever seen. There's a bump on the back for the board components and power supply and what have you, but this thing is still small and light. The stand is pretty nice, too. There's a lot of ways to adjust your screen to your tastes - you can raise it and lower it, tilt it forward and back. Even turn it from landscape to portrait, although it would be shame to use something this nice as a side monitor, rather than a main one. It's got a high framerate. Being on a Mac, I could only see how smooth scrolling looked, and how smooth it was to move my mouse across the screen. Still beautiful enough for me to take note, but alas, I couldn't test it in any situations where it would matter more. I'm very excited for when my PC is back up and running, though! One problem I did notice, however, was with the stand. Maybe I did something wrong, but it's not the most stable feeling thing around. When I'm typing, the monitor would start to shake and shake and shake, until it was so bad I couldn't read what I was writing. I've used numerous monitors on their built in stands on this same desk, and have never had that issue. Of course, this can be bypassed by using something like a wall mount, which I normally do, but for those who want to use the included stand, they will likely notice it if their desk has any wobble. Especially if they're playing games with keyboard and mouse. All of that said, however, this is an amazing monitor, with amazing color quality and design. Especially at the price point. As far as OLED monitors go, this is pretty affordable, but you'd be hard pressed to tell just by the user experience alone.

I received the HyperX OMEN OLED 27-inch QHD 240Hz Gaming Monitor a couple of weeks ago, and I believe it is, without a doubt, the best monitor that has graced my humble gaming setup. I wanted something that could handle both serious gaming sessions and occasional work without too much hassle switching between devices. It has a variety of inputs, including two full HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4, and a standard 3.5mm audio jack for headphones. With so many inputs, I have my gaming PC hooked through the DisplayPort, a console into one of the HDMIs, and then my laptop in the other HDMI. No need to swap cables now. But the picture quality is where this monitor truly shines. It uses QD-OLED technology, and the colors just plain, flat out pop! The contrast ratio is rated at 1,500,000 to 1, and you can actually see the difference in dark scenes—no grayish haze like you get with regular panels. Colors look rich and natural, with excellent coverage across the common gamuts after the factory calibration. At 2560x1440 resolution on a 27-inch screen, everything stays sharp without feeling overly pixelated. Brightness sits around 200 nits, which is fine for my room, though I don't know how well it might do in really bright rooms. High-graphics games are a revelation. I ran titles like Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing maxed out, and the experience was outstanding. The high refresh rate and response time make everything super smooth, even when the camera is panning fast or there is some intense action going on. I don't see any ghosting or blur. Even in dark alleyways or night-time scenes, the blacks are so perfect. I see shadows I never noticed before, and even subtle lighting looks really cool. But then there are the neon signs or explosions. So much vibrancy, but they don't wash out the rest of the image. It adds a real sense of depth and immersion that I had not experienced on my previous IPS monitor. Games with heavy atmospheric effects or detailed environments simply look more alive. I also appreciate the adjustable stand with options to tweak height, tilt, and swivel to find the most comfortable viewing angle. The on-screen menu is straightforward to navigate, though I mostly left the settings on the default “gaming” preset because it already looked excellent. Factor in the low price, and this is an excellent value. Highly recommended.

The HyperX OMEN 27" QD-OLED monitor is one of two new gaming OLED displays from HP/HyperX for 2026. A solid choice to go with QD-OLED as it represents the pinnacle of current commercially available display technology. Yes, there are other technologies out there, but QD-OLED is proven and available in mass quantity today. The technology offers all of the hallmarks of OLED, great color, fantastic contrast, and lightning fast refresh rate without some of the color deficiencies of traditional OLED. The HyperX OMEN is all of that in a slightly more affordable package than previously available. Coupled with twin HDMI 2.1 ports and a DisplayPort both with G-Sync this is an ideal match for those of us rocking Nvidia GPUs. The 240Hz refresh rate and QHD (2560x1440) resolution are both great matches for a 27" gaming display. I would have preferred 4K at this size, but it would have been substantially more expensive too. The resolution afforded is a great mix to allow for high end GPUs to hit the 240Hz refresh rate during competitive gaming. I do wish it were a bit brighter to really accentuate HDR, but the 'infinite' contrast ratio makes up for most of that. HyperX claims it has 200nit peak brightness and I would say that is about right. I would have liked to have seen DisplayHDR 400 level at a minimum, but again, they are trying to balance price to performance. It is curious to me that having gone with QD-OLED it isn't brighter as that is part of the improvement over standard OLED. Overall, I really like the monitor and it is an easy recommend when on sale (which it often is).

When comparing prices with other OLED monitors, this particular unit is definitely at the bottom end of the spectrum. That price point does come with some compromises. There are limited connectivity options (e.g., no USB hub, no thunderbolt), there are no speakers (which is actually okay with me because monitor speakers are typically rather poor anyway compared to standalone speakers, even on premium monitors), and the menu options built into the monitor's operating system are rather limited. Screen size is somewhat small at 26.5" (especially when next to a 32" or larger monitor) and the native resolution is rather boiler plate at 2560x1440. The plastic for the bezels is rather thin, but the screen itself has a dead area around its borders that essentially function as a thicker bezel (even if it is not made of plastic). Given that this is a budget OLED monitor, however, the negatives have to be weighed against the cost and the features that it does have. The monitor supports HDR10 and VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black. From my use, I did notice that the blacks were indeed dark. While not necessarily scientific, when I look at the monitor, the colors and saturation are very pleasing to the eye (even without tweaking the monitor's minimal settings). Speaking of settings, the control buttons on the monitor were actually easy to use and intuitive given the on-screen menu. (Unlike some others I have used that were difficult to push/click or did not control the menu as one would have intuitively thought.) The stand works well, did not require tools to assemble, and supports both landscape and portrait orientations of the monitor. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the monitor also included a high speed HDMI cable (along with a DisplayPort cable), making it truly easy to unbox, plug in, and go. One thing I noticed is that the finish of the monitor appears much more glossy than most monitors I have and, when used near lights, almost takes on a purple sheen when the monitor is turned off. I did like the inclusion of a headphone jack that takes the audio from the HDMI port. (This allowed me to plug in a Bose speaker that I had directly to the monitor using the 3.5mm headphone jack, which is a much better sounding solution than in-monitor speakers, in my opinion.) I realize there are other reviews out there that compares this monitor with others using numerous metrics. I have often found, however, that differentiating between monitors in real life is not that big of a deal if you are not using the two monitors next to each other. With that in mind, on its own, this monitor looks good, is responsive to its input (did not have any lag, stuttering, ghosting, etc. that I could notice), and is very competitively priced. If you are looking for an OLED monitor in the 27" range, do not need built-in speakers or a USB hub, and do not want to break the bank, this HP HyperX Omen OLED 27q monitor is definitely a viable option.

This HyperX OMEN 27 inch OLED display is fantastic. If you are looking to make an entry into the OLED space this is definitely the monitor for you. There is nothing quite like gaming on an OLED monitor and with the HyperX OMEN you are going to get that super fast and smooth refresh rate, bright, vivid colors and deep inky blacks. Literally everything looks better on this monitor. Whether you are watching movies, YouTube, surfing the web or gaming, it is simply better on this beautiful OLED. This monitor has everything you need and nothing you don't. While it is lacking a USB port, you will still get 2 HDMI 2.1 ports, a 1.4 DisplayPort and a 3.5 mm audio out jack. I have never needed a USB port on a monitor so that is no issue for me, personally. Been playing tons of Crimson Desert on this OLED and it looks fantastic! I have also been playing Arc Raiders and Overwatch and everything looks so good and buttery smooth. I have had no issues with this monitor and setup was easy. I know anyone who picks this up will be super happy with it. Once you go OLED, there is NO looking back!

For any computer enthusiast, finding the perfect monitor is certainly more difficult than one would expect; not only are we concerned with resolution or port selection but also consider panel type, dimensions, pixel pitch, port revision numbers, refresh rate and SDR/HDR capabilities. While monitors are certainly numerous, and come in various types, it is specifically OLED that has seen an exponential rise in popularity. Furthermore, this year will be even more exciting with more different panel types, such as Tandem OLED, or modifications to existing technology like V-Shaped QD-OLED panels. So perhaps the question now is, given newer panel technologies, can existing QD-OLED panels exist at lower price points and can they perform well enough? Thus, I excited to test the newly released HyperX 27q QD-OLED 27’’ monitor, one that hopes to provide a captivating OLED experience at a lower price point! As with any monitor, the Hyper X 27q comes with everything you need for setup and should be relatively straightforward. Inside the box, along with the stand, there is one HDMI 2.1 Ultra Speed certified cable and one DisplayPort cable (this cable has the clips on the end, so be careful when disconnecting. You must push down and pull). In addition, a standard three pin power cable is included. Once the base is mounted, you can snap it into the back of the monitor with screen still face down inside the box. After that is completed, you will be able to position your monitor accordingly. Physically, the 27q looks fairly striking in person; the screen itself, despite being listed as anti-glare, does in fact have a semi-glossy coating as typical of other QD-OLED panels. As expected, glare is still kept to a minimum. For me personally, I much prefer the glossy screens as oppose to traditional matte coatings; the visuals pop much more vibrantly than the aforementioned. In addition, the monitor features 2560x 1440 resolution at 240 Hz with a 110 PPI; it has a brightness rating of 200 nits, and its pixel pitch is rated at 0.2292mm x 0.2292mm; its response time is rated at 0.03ms. Another interesting observation I noticed is that the base is drastically larger and heavier than one would expect a 27-inch monitor to have; alone by itself, it clocks in at 11.41 inches by 8.46 inches so depending on where you will physically put this monitor, you might have a bit of a challenge so keep that in mind. Lastly, because there are no USB ports on the monitor, the firmware cannot be upgraded. Before moving on to my performance tests, I first would like to begin by prefacing that I tested the 27q on my Acer 16s Neo AI gaming laptop connected via its HDMI 2.1 port powered by NVidia RTX 5060 GPU! As expected, the ports you use will determine your resolution and refresh rate combination. If you do not have HDMI 2.1, the DisplayPort 1.4a should allow up to 1440p at 165 Hz (or 144 Hz / 120 Hz) and 10-bit color with DSC off. With DSC enabled, depending on the age of your GPU, you should be able to move up to 240 Hz. Luckily, this is the first panel that I have personally seen that lets you manually control the DSC; default was set to on. Furthermore, the DSC setting will disable itself if you connect via HDMI. As for my testing, I set the 27q to the Native Panel preset with all its settings left at default; interestingly, when you turn HDR on, the rest of image presets are grayed out. For my purposes, the HDR setting was left on content controlled. The DDC function was left on but I did not install the corresponding Hyper X / HP software, but I did install the color profile driver from their website (two profiles are loaded: SDR / DCI-P3. I used the SDR one). Lastly, in Windows 11, I set the SDR/HDR slider all the way to 0 to completely dim the surrounding windows. Starting with my first monitor test, I first wanted to begin by running a few HDR demos found on YouTube that I typically run on my OLED monitors. While these OLED demos were originally created for TV panels, most notably LG and Sony ones, they are still useful for monitors and are quite amazing to look at. While there are too many to list, I wanted to provide at least some observations to two of my favorites. Starting with the Sony Vegas 4K demo in HDR, I was glad to see that the Vegas sign was bright and color retention looked very sharp. On some of my laptops with OLED screens, this portion was sometimes blown out to where the lines underneath the red neon glow were not visible, but here they are rendered perfectly. In addition, I thought the red color in the sign was nice and vibrant. Another interesting bit was at 0:58 seconds, where off to the left-hand side you will see a sign with a bunch of clocks. On older panels, the clocks themselves would often be blown out to where you had to manually adjust them to see, but the 27q just handled with easy without any significant setting modification! As expected of a QD-OLED panel, any single instance of red or blue looks amazing; a good example is at the 1:06 mark where you can see the blue lights on the Paris sign coupled with the deep red color next to it. The contrast is simply quite breathtaking. At 1:48, you can see the deep green and blue pixels at work here, as they alternate between each other. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the 27Q handling of its HDR; while certainly not the brightest panel, it managed to pop enough where it needed to, yet was restrained enough that it did not cause any obvious blown out highlights. Moving on to my last video, my other favorite is the LG Chess demo. At 0:12 second mark, there are some insane HDR pop on the jewelry found on the Queen’s attire. The brightness here was absolutely perfect. As previously noted with the Vegas demo, here is another instance where I have seen this portion blown out on other monitors and laptop screens, but shockingly not here. Skin tones were very healthy and vibrant. Color retention looked strong throughout; even the pink lipstick was not overcooked here; you can even see the lip texture! Additionally, the gold patterns on the dress adjacent to the white portion is quite amazing! At 0:58 seconds, the blue jewelry pieces atop of the golden crown looked quite stunning. As expected, the QD-OLED panel really stretches its color abilities with the flames at 1:18 and again at 1:32 where the blue chess piece is shattered. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the QD-OLED panel; despite only a PPI rating of 110 it still looks every bit like an OLED monitor! Overall, the 27q dazzles with amazing color! The HDR performance looked fairly stable and consistent throughout both videos. Next, I loaded up one of my games, Rise of the Tomb Raider, albeit an older game but one in which I think still has some striking visuals especially given the lack of HDR support. For those familiar, the opening sequence is still quite taxing on the GPU, even at 1440p. On the RTX 5060 mobile chip, using the Very High Preset with anti-aliasing set to SSAA 2x and shadows set to off, the monitor was not even taxed. Visually, the 27q, and any OLED panel for that matter, is absolutely gorgeous. Even with my other OLED monitors and TVs, I am still amazed that these panels are able to replicate so much color. As for FPS, despite the 8 GB restriction, I was still able to maintain a decent range of 55-80 FPS, with obvious fluctuations depending on where I moved around. As expected, the lights and reflections from the sun and weather affects were extremely colorful and vibrant! Furthermore, I was also struck at just how bright your flare is once you actually enter the cave; it is extremely bright and is only SDR! Dropping the SSAA 2x in favor of something more relaxing, such as FXAA, posted a near 20-30 FPS increase. As expected, I noticed no tearing or anything and I think most people will be pleased with the panel. In conclusion, the Hyper X 27q QD-OLED monitor performed exactly how it was intended. It provided a great gaming experience with jaw dropping visuals. In addition, I was thoroughly impressed with HDR playback; everything was colorful and bright and immensely vibrant. As expected, this is not the brightest panel nor is it being driven very hard, but at its price point, I don’t think anyone would have any complaints. I was also pleasantly surprised that you could manually control the DSC setting, something I wish all monitors would implement! In addition, I was also glad to see multiple refresh rates options such 120, 144 and 165 Hz at 1440p. While there may not be as many features built in as some of the other OLED options, I think the 27q feels more refined in that regard as it takes a more no-nonsense approach. With that said, if you have been thinking about an OLED monitor, but the price points have deterred you up until now, the 27q might be worth a look and even more so if you are coming from an older VA / IPS panels. I certainly feel this monitor would be a good introduction to OLED. With that said, the 27q comes recommended!

OLED gaming monitors have come quite a way and many have gotten much cheaper as the years pass. This HyperX OMEN is a great way to get into the OLED scene as a gamer without breaking the bank. It offers the impressive color and contrast you would expect from an OLED, and with a 240Hz refresh it is more than enough for any games. There were no problems out of the box, it was packaged well and no dead pixels at all. Setup on the stand is toolless and straightforward. You have all your standard angle and height adjustments, making it very easy to replace any existing setup. As far as usage goes, it packs quite a punch for the price range it is in. There are some downsides, most notably a lack of high brightness as expected with an OLED. However, colors still pop and are very distinguishable when gaming as well as when editing photos. I would definitely recommend this as a starting point, especially if you are unsure what you’re missing out on. This is a great all around OLED monitor that’s great for any tasks, especially for gaming.
