Customer Ratings & Reviews

Picture looks great. I also like the cool effect of the light on the back of the monitor! The built in speakers are not that great by themselves, but they do complement the audio system I use with my computer.

I am not new to the gaming monitors space and I have been very impressed with HP's new lineup of "Omen" branded monitors in terms of aesthetics, performance, AND value. Its rare to see a product nail all three and the overall package you're getting here from HP, especially if you can catch it on sale for $350, is fantastic. Starting with its physical characteristics, i'm a fan of HP's more minimal design approach here that looks very clean and isn't obnoxiously "Gamer". The included stand has height, tilt, and pivot adjustment that all work as expected, but i would have also liked to see swivel included here as the monitor can only be turned left and right as a whole and not independent from its stand. This monitor wouldn't look out of place in an office setting, but has enough customization with its external RGB lighting to fit in with the rest of your gaming setup. Which is where this monitor really shines. Gaming. The two most important factors for me with this purchase were Motion and color performance. I have a keen eye for motion performance and tested this monitor at both its maximum refresh rate and down the refresh range for adaptive synce gaming with great results. The only Overdrive setting i found unusable was response time level 5 which exhibited way too much overshoot in motion, and i don't recommend using this setting. This is okay though, as HP have provided 4 other Response Time settings that *are* usable and each have an optimal use case. At 240hz i found response time level 4 to be the best with competitive titles as it looked the clearest with minimal/reasonable levels of overshoot. You can drop this down to Level 3 if you prefer zero overshoot. When it comes to a single player experience with Gsync/Freesync/Adaptive sync enabled i found Level 2 to be the best balance, and kept overshoot from creeping in at lower refresh rates that can become visible when set to level 3. Overall, i think this monitor provides a great experience and gets a pass from me. Now onto color. HP provides several modes here but for me it really narrowed down to 2, Gaming and Standard. The monitor ships in the "Standard" mode which seems to be calibrated/clamped to SRGB according to my measurements in DisplayCal. This mode is surprisingly color accurate out of the box at ~200 nits brightness, but the gamma curve was slightly above the 2.2 target if that matters to you. The "Gaming" mode however almost hit the gamma curve bang on and seems to be an unclamped version of that standard mode with more saturated/vibrant colors. This is the mode i ended up sticking with and i encourage people to go back and forth between the two to figure out your preference. My unit also had fairly minimal backlight bleed/Glow compared to other IPS gaming monitors i have used which is nice to see. Whether you're gaming competitively, or more casually/story driven you really can't go wrong with what HP are providing here and i am excited to see what else they have in store. Thumbs up from me.

If OLED isn’t your style or thousand dollar monitors are just a bit out of budget, this is a solid pick. I’ve been using it as my main monitor for a while now, stress testing and running at ridiculous hours and it’s held up more than I’d expect it to. I tend to be graphically heavy with some of my work and again this hits the mark. I’m pleased to have such a good experience with this monitor, especially since I’m not treating it lightly.

Ive gone through a few 4k monitors and also have a C2. That is a great monitor for 1st person action/adventure games. I compared several 1440p 240hz monitors and this one, price notwithstanding was the clear winner. The fact that it costs half as much as the others puts a cherry on top. If you plah fps you can feel and awe the differencr between 120hz and 240hz. This is my favourite all arounder right now.

Excellent for 1440p 240z gaming. Really good for the price I got it on sale for $300! 10/10 would recommend. It even has built in RGB in the back for more fps. Speakers are not great but it’s fine if you constantly use headphones

i love her beautiful colors and really smooth experience with the 240hz.

This monitor has served me very well since I've had it. Every time it goes on sale, I notify my buddies to see if they're interested. There are five major elements and factors that go into the (fairly easy) decision to choose this monitor. 1. Size 2. Resolution 3. Refresh Rate 4. Response Time 5. Price Let's start with the price. Currently, at $279.99 (on sale from its original price of $429.99), you cannot find a better deal for the same quality. I've always viewed 27" as the sweet spot for a gaming monitor, but that's the last thing to consider. The 1 ms response time is more than fast enough, with barely a noticeable difference between 1 ms and 0.5 ms which some other monitors claim. 240Hz used to be a lot, the maximum refresh rate as a matter of fact, back when I bought this monitor. To have that insane refresh rate tied to the QHD (2K) resolution status is a major bonus. It was hard using my secondary monitor at FHD (1080p) after switching up to QHD. In addition to a stunning 2K resolution at refresh rates of up to 240Hz, this monitor also supports selective 4K resolution settings (at the cost of refresh rate, which caps at 144Hz when using the 3840x2160 resolution, granted you're using the included DisplayPort cable instead of HDMI). The cable interface is another important factor, considering this monitor includes two HDMI 2.0 inputs and one DP 1.4 input). Other important factors are the HDR400 display range certification, Freesync and G-Sync compatibility, and inclusion of the aforementioned display inputs as well as USB-B for upstream of the two high-speed USB-A 3.2 Gen2 ports. Forget 360Hz, 480Hz, 500Hz, or whatever else refresh rate seems satisfying. 240Hz is significantly more than enough to give you a seamless, smooth, and satisfying experience in every single context (I don't even think any refresh rate past 240Hz makes any noticeable difference, compared to the difference between say 60 and 120, or 120 and 144-165). To pack together the refresh rate, response time, and resolution into 27" is no doubt a feat of its own, but to have the opportunity to score all of this in a $280 pricetag ($430 value, as a reminder) is incredible. To have all five of these major elements/factors is not something to pass by. Do yourself a favor and spring for this monitor ASAP, or at the very least keep an eye on it for when it goes on sale. For $279.99, other monitors may have specs like: 144Hz - FHD - 0.5ms - 27" or 165Hz - QHD - 1ms - 23.8" or 120Hz - FHD - 0.5ms - 32" - curved If you've read this far, I humbly thank you for taking the time to consider my opinion. Just as a note to any/all customers perusing the reviews for this monitor, my opinion may not match that of others, and there very well could be another monitor out there that exceeds the quality of this one and for a relatively decent price. I have simply yet to find that monitor, and until I do I will always vouch for this one. The bottom line is that you are getting an incredible deal here (when this monitor goes on sale, of course) because of the massive value-to-price ratio, with quality, size, specs, etc. all being at the forefront of a gamer's journey in searching for the best monitor for the best price. Spare no time, and jump at this opportunity while you can! I promise you won't regret it!

I wasn't aware that cheaper monitors weren't necessarily color accurate. We returned the slightly cheaper ViewSonic for this model and love it! Huge difference for a few extra bucks.

Great monitor perfect size for gaming and other computer work. Speakers work great for stock monitor speakers

10/10! This monitor is perfect and so is the price. Great PQ, 240hz, great color and black levels! I purchased 2 of these. I highly recommend the 27” HP Omen 27qs. Absolutely perfect for the Xbox series X at 120fps or on my gaming PC running 1440p. Great monitor for 1st Person Shooters where high FPS is needed.

The OMEN display offers stunning visuals with vibrant colors and fast refresh rates, making it ideal for gaming and multimedia. Its sleek design and customizable settings enhance user experience. With low input lag and adaptive sync technology, it delivers smooth performance, making it a solid choice for serious gamers.

I have had this monitor is August 2023 and it is one of the best gaming monitors available for it's price. My panel is the LG variant and it has no dead pixels, no back light bleed or any other type of distortions typical with other IPS panels . Colors are fantastic with the wide gamut Gaming mode setting, but it has a great sRGB mode for color accuracy purists. Motion clarity is superb. Just look at the overall rating for this monitor at 4.8 out of 5 stars from hundreds of buyers. Why spends hundreds more for incremental features. You get blazing fast 240hz speed, wide color gamut, excellent motion clarity for under $500, sometimes under $400.

It is a monitor beauty, but because I give it 3 stars, because the ghosting is too remarkable when it is 240Hz, it is very remarkable, beyond that, I think it is a good price and good quality monitor, it serves very well for Fight and FPS games with an Input Lag 2.6 when it is to its maximum refresh 240Hz for, work is excellent, I recommend the monitor only if the ghosting is not a discomfort for the one who uses it.

Purchased the monitor for my son, he loves the colors and the fast refresh rate. Definitly recommand, especially if puchased during a time of sale. I purchased this monitor for my son, and he loves it! His eyes seem to love the colors, and he appreciates the fast refresh rate. I definitely recommend this product, especially if you can catch it on sale!

Love this monitor, paired with a rtx 4070 im getting 140+ fps on max settings and this monitor definitely keeps up, crystal clear image, decent hdr, easy monitor ui, fantastic monitor for the price

Pitcher quality great. Refresh rate great. Button on back of monitor, needs improvement. Adjustable stand is great, ended up wall mounting it. Great if on sale, do not spend of 330 on it.

This is a great monitor. Picture quality looks better than my LG C9 55in Oled sometimes. The fact that it supports G-Sync, moves up and down and actually has internal speakers that aren't too shabby was a win for me. I've had probably 7 HP Omen laptops over the years and they served their purpose without too much grief. Its amazing that I was able to get this open box for $260.

I absolutely love this HP OMEN gaming monitor! The 27-inch IPS LED display is crystal clear and the QHD resolution really makes my games pop. The 240Hz refresh rate ensures smooth gameplay, and the FreeSync and G-SYNC compatibility eliminate any screen tearing or stuttering. The HDR technology also adds fantastic depth and vibrancy to the visuals. Overall, this monitor has significantly enhanced my gaming experience and I highly recommend it to any serious gamer looking to take their setup to the next level.

Having owned a variety of HP monitors over the years they’ve mostly been basic and served primary productivity needs. This refreshed OMEN series has better specs and higher performance than other monitors I’ve owned, and I can say I’m incredibly impressed by all that it has to offer. While not a full 4k display the QHD seems to hit the sweet spot between resolution and fast refresh rates. Running at 240hz is buttery smooth though maybe overkill for much of my non FPS nor Forza gaming usage. Movies and Apple TV 4K shows look crisp and sharp, particularly for a computer monitor. My minor nitpick is the choice of using an IPS panel, which offers a wider viewing angle, and sacrifices black level considerably. Black colors appear grey and distract from perceived picture depth. Television panels with IPS make sense for multiple viewers across a wide living room, but a computer monitor, particularly for gaming, one can presume the user is sitting directly in front of it. My only other complaint is HP’s primary policy to download the OMEN Gaming Hub seems somewhat concerning, though the monitor can easily be used without it. Pros + ample screen size + 1440p resolution + 240 hz refresh rate + 1 ms response time + 1000:1 contrast + Nvidia G-Sync + AMD FreeSync + cool looking back LED + ultra thin bezel + display port 1.4 + USB Hub panel + built-in speakers + wide-viewing angle IPS + sturdy supportive base Cons -thicker than competition -HDMI 2.0 vs HdMI 2.1 -black level on IPS not as deep as VA panels -weighs more than other 27 inch monitors (with stand) -Hp Omen gaming hub privacy concerns Conclusion : HP ups the gaming monitor game with this 2023 updated OMEN 27-inch monitor. While not as sharp as LG’s 48-inch OLED (nor nearly as pricy, different markets) the resolution is adequate, and colors are vibrant, but their choice of an IPS panel impacts the black levels for most use cases. Recommended buy for gaming usage, and pass for multi-use 4k TV and movie viewing.

My experience with the HP OMEN 27" IPS LED QHD 240Hz Gaming Monitor was unfortunately marred by a significant issue. The screen exhibited flickering at refresh rates above 120Hz, rendering the high-performance feature unusable. Regrettably, this problem led to the monitor's return. Despite the setback, the display quality, HDR capabilities, and versatile connectivity options were impressive. However, the flickering issue overshadowed these positives, resulting in a disappointing overall experience.
