Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my first 1440p 240Hz IPS monitor and it does not disappoint. It pretty much checks all the boxes in what I want in a monitor; besides the obvious high refresh rate for an IPS, it has all the creature comforts I want in a monitor like pivot and height adjustability, AMD Freesync Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC, and a USB hub for some easy peripheral connectivity, for example. The contrast ratio is 1000:1 and brightness is at 400 nits. The display inputs are still older versions (DP1.4, HDMI 2.0), but that is to be expected for a 1440p monitor that doesn’t need to drive that much data through it. If you don’t want to use the included stand, it is VESA mounting compatible (100mm x 100mm). Stylewise, the 27qs is not the thinnest of 27" gaming monitors. It bears a bit of thickness when viewed from its side. There are definitely more sleeker looking monitors out in the market. But the backside of the monitor does hold a customizable LED ring for some mood lighting, which is very cool. It does excel in the front with near bezel-less top and sides, only sporting the typical chin with the "Omen" logo. Honestly, head on it looks great. Display inputs are as follows: 1x DisplayPort 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.0. You'll also get a built-in USB hub for two additional USB-A ports via a single USB-B connection from your tower. OSD controls are very straightforward and easy to use. I would say that the OSD controls are very intuitive; it's basically a D-pad with a center button. The OSD will show a key map of how to get into each setting. Now for the technical stuff: at 240hz, the monitor does bring down the color to 8-bit…running at 165hz or 144hz will achieve 10-bit color, which is a substantial change in color depth. So if you must run at 240hz, you're probably less concerned about color and more into competitive gaming. So for us who are looking to buy a new 1440p monitor…you have to ask yourself if a 240hz monitor is something you really need. Performance-wise, the monitor does not disappoint, especially at its price point. I don’t think there are many choices at the moment with these specs. There is very little backlight bleed, and viewing angles are as expected for an IPS monitor. 240hz is buttery smooth, and the monitor is very bright at 100% brightness.

[Employee of bestbuy] The OMEN 27qs is an amazing gaming monitor. The picture is crisp and vibrant, and the high refresh rate makes everything feel insanely smooth. Fast-paced games look incredible, with zero noticeable blur or lag—it genuinely levels up the gaming experience. Build quality is solid, setup is easy, and the size is perfect for an immersive setup. Whether you’re gaming competitively or just enjoying single-player titles, this monitor delivers across the board. If you want a monitor that looks great and performs even better, the 27qs is a no-brainer.

gave it a 5 star for the fact that this 240 hz monitor is the real deal. my 2nd monitor ever but the one i was playing on was only 60 hz and the difference is insane. the display is beautiful and crisp and the fps is what sold me. your performance on gaming with this monitor will make it seem like you have gotten much better at any game you play. i do highly recommend this monitor if you’re new or even a experienced pc player. i have had no problems with it and everything is easy to figure out even if you are not experienced with monitors.

For being a “budget” 240hz 1440p monitor, this checks all the boxes. The refresh rate is legitimate. The picture quality is actually nicer than I was expecting for the price along with HDR functionality. This is the best you’re going to find in its price range for 240hz, 1440p, and with decent color (which also can be adjusted within the monitors setting further if you desire).

I did a lot of homework on this monitor vs. others in the same price range. It's on sale for $299 right now. Lots of online posts will hem and haw about OLED. I know it's a fantastic technology, but do you think the value is really there for $600 more? With this monitor you don't have to worry about burn-in, or baby your monitor. Just fire it up and go. The colors are fine on it. It's not the top of the line panel, but passable. Competitive games are a blast to play on this especially if you can drive 240hz. It really is a big upgrade for me coming from a Dell 2716dgr TN 144hz TN panel, and the IPS colors look way better than my previous TN even if there's a bit of glow. I honestly don't even think about how the screen looks when i'm focused in on a competitive game. I did a bit of calibrations following online suggestions on reddit and it looks even better. The plan now is to use this until OLEDs become reasonable, and then upgrade and move this over to being a second screen/backup down the road.

Very fast and responsive monitor. 1440p and 240hz is the sweet spot and gaming. You won't experience any ghosting and the colors are not bad. This monitor will pair very well with high end PCs, as well as budget rigs. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase. Is a steal when on sale.

First off screen is bright. Hdr is great on this. Didn't have problems with bleeding from dark scenes to bright scenes. Blacks are pretty much black with the naked eye. No ghosting that I seen. Stand is sturdy. Adjustability of the screen orientation on this is great. (2) hdmi ports that are 2.0. (1) Display port is 1.4. It has a audio jack 3.5mm port on it for headsets that are still require that or if you want to connect some external speakers. And one usb port on it as well. It has what you want for this price point can't beat it. And 240 hertz refresh rate only on the display port not bad for a mid tier pc monitor at this price for that. Now to the part where you might be waiting for "the bad". If you want to use it for strictly for console gaming here some tips. If owning a ps5 or xbox series X there is no hdmi 2.1 there is nothing you can do to make it produce 120 hertz at 4k the screen itself is not 4k. For some unknown reason HP thought it was a great idea to have features not with the monitor that you would normally think every screen or monitor there is on the market would already have built into it right out of the box. In order to adjust screen brightness on the monitor and or picture color modes itself, you have to install HP Omen gaming hub app on a windows pc not a mac but only on a windows pc. By than if only than doing this you can adjust those settings on the monitor menu itself. Little inconvenience if you do not intend to use this monitor as a pc monitor and just for console gaming. All in all get this when on sale not for full msrp price. You get what you paid for. 5 out of 5 if you didn't have to download stuff to have features natively built into it.

I recently purchased a second HP OMEN 27" QHD monitor to match my original one, and overall, I couldn't be happier with the performance. These monitors are crisp, fast, and vibrant - perfect for gaming and content creation. The 240Hz refresh rate combined with both FreeSync and G-SYNC compatibility makes gameplay incredibly smooth, and the HDR support adds noticeable depth to visuals. As someone who does a lot of photo and video editing, accurate color representation is extremely important to me. Initially, I had one monitor connected via DisplayPort and the other via HDMI, and I immediately noticed a significant difference in color tones and brightness between the two. After switching both to DisplayPort (you could also use HDMI on both), the colors synced perfectly. That’s an important tip for anyone planning to run a dual setup with these monitors: use matching connection types to ensure color consistency across screens. The build quality is solid, and the IPS panel offers wide viewing angles with minimal color shift. I also appreciate the sleek, minimal design - it fits well in both a gaming and professional editing setup. If you're looking for a high-refresh, color-accurate monitor that can handle fast-paced gaming and creative work, this one delivers. Just be mindful of your connection setup if you plan to use more than one.

The HP OMEN 27" QHD Gaming Monitor is an absolute game-changer. From the moment you power it on, you're hit with jaw-dropping clarity, stunning color accuracy, and buttery-smooth performance.

Every movement feels fluid and precise — giving you the edge in even the most demanding esports titles. The QHD (2560x1440) resolution on an IPS panel strikes the perfect balance between image sharpness and performance, while HDR support brings your games to life with deeper contrasts and more vivid colors. Whether you're exploring lush open-world environments or lining up headshots, the visuals are nothing short of spectacular. Compatibility with both AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC ensures a tear-free, stutter-free gaming experience across the board, no matter your GPU.

Don't hesitate to purchase this monitor. 240hz and 1440p with and IPS at $350 when on sale??? Can't beat that! Although there are "better" panels like OLEDs, I still think the Burn in on those are not worth the price they are currently. Windows PC Gamer Users...make sure you adjust some colors IF needed through the NVIDIA Control Panel to your liking as well as the Monitor's Settings. Also, FOR MAC USERS....PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do NOT use HDMI for this monitor. If you want the full experience of 240hz without sacrificing any color, make SURE you use a USB-C to DisplayPort cable. I guarantee that you will be very PLEASED! I know some reviews have stated it only shows 144hz on Mac but that's only on HDMI so do NOT get discouraged by those reviews. I know plenty of people will argue about using the HDMI port on MACs but whatever. I have 0 issues or hassle using the USB C to DP cable. Don't be lazy...it really isn't a big deal. Overall this monitor is an Excellent choice for both types of computers whether it is for gaming, work, browsing, etc...This is the monitor I've been searching for a long time and I can gladly say that I finally found MY perfect monitor.

I upgraded from my lenovo y25-25 monitor and simply plugging it in and launching a game and i could see a instant difference. Much better colors and moving from 1080 to 1440 was big. The 240hz allows for smooth gameplay and HDR for brillant color. I also enjoy the addition of built in speakers. Theyre very convenient and not many monitors come with them nowadays. Cant forget the very aesthetic lights that appear in the back of the monitor! Overall Ive enjoyed my experience with the monitor and have recommended it to many friends.

I have tried almost every popular monitor at this point, I’m not joking, this includes all popular oled models, the super expensive ones, the cheap ones, everything in between. This is the absolute best monitor for your money. I got it on sale around $300 and it is worth twice this price. Buy it now! Before you decide it’s not good, go online, work with the settings and in my opinion you will have the best monitor you can buy right now. Oh I should mention, I have 3 of this monitor, replacing monitors that easily have cost 4-5x what this one does.

Between how bright the screen is and how reasonable the price is for 240hz this is by far the best monitor I’ve had for gaming. No ghosting/smearing while playing competitive platforms. The colors are also very vibrant it truly is a very well made and useful gaming monitor.

I purchased this as an Open Box Excellent. This item came missing the bar for the stand and the cables. There is also a gap on the right side of the case. Best Buy was very nice. I brought the monitor into the store and explained that I was missing the part of the stand an cables. They were going to give me a monitor mount, but allowed me to pay the difference for a dual monitor mount. They also gave me a DVI cable 1.2 not 1.4, but it was appreciated. The monitor picture is outstanding. The colors are crisp and clear. The refresh rate is awesome. I would highly recommend this monitor. You will need to adjust setting to get the best picture. Go on-line and you can get help with that. The speakers are very good for a monitor. I like this monitor very much. Highly recomment

I’ve been using the HP OMEN 27" QHD monitor for a few weeks now, and it has completely elevated my gaming experience. The 240Hz refresh rate is buttery smooth, especially paired with G-SYNC and FreeSync support – no screen tearing or stuttering at all. The QHD resolution on a 27” screen hits the sweet spot for clarity and performance, and the IPS panel delivers vibrant colors and wide viewing angles. HDR support is a nice bonus, enhancing contrast and depth in supported games. Build quality is solid and the monitor has a sleek, minimalist design that fits great in my setup. Whether you're into fast-paced FPS games or immersive RPGs, this monitor keeps up effortlessly. Highly recommended for serious gamers looking for performance without sacrificing image quality.

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.

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.

I use this monitor for gaming and it runs perfectly. The colors pop out and the picture quality is very good.

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
