Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent monitor, panel is beautiful and it was very easy to set up on my dual monitor stand! You will not be disappointed, I’ve owned it for about 4 months now.

The monitor arrived swiftly, was easy to set up, and provided stunning visuals for everything I ran on it.

Excellent quality. No light bleed. Beautiful screen clarity. Got it on sale, bit pricey at normal price

This is hands down the best monitor I’ve ever owned. Response time advanced options are a game changer.

A very nice monitor, and as a bonus it comes with USB charging ports. It's pricey, but worth it.

Amazing monitor. I bought two for a matching set. 240hz 1440p is amazing to game on.

Dope monitor, on the Nvidia control panel it says it may not be GSync compatible but I forced it to run anyways, should be fine.

Such a good product, love the led lights just wish it was 4k.

Huge upgrade from 1080p 240hz. It’s a lot smoother.

Awesome monitor. Way better than my previous monitor.

Amazing monitor, Such a clear smooth display. Definitely would recommend this one.

Works perfectly with the HP Omen Gaming PC. Easy setup. Gorgeous graphics.

Great monitor, looks smooth and is clear from any angle.

Great Monitor with amazing colors and insane clarity!

This monitor is awesome, I’m playing R6, it is very smooth

Love the monitor itself but the first time it was ordered, I kept having an issue where the monitor would show static every 5 minutes, requiring a power cycling to resolve the issue. I returned the monitor and had an exchange arranged as an in-store pickup, and this is the box that it came in… absolutely thrashed. For something as fragile as a monitor you would think Best Buy would take some care in ensuring the packaging doesn’t get to the point where it’s as damaged as this.

The 2023 revision of the HP OMEN 27” monitor is a decent addition to HP’s line of OMEN gaming monitors. With a crisp QHD (2560x1440) display supporting HDR, a 240hz refresh rate with AMD FreeSync, and a 1ms response time, this OMEN is a powerhouse for gaming. Sporting two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort v1.4 port, and two USB 3.1 Type A ports, this monitor is likely to support most I/O solutions for desktops and laptops alike. Those who frequent games where fractions of a second make the difference will find the performance of the panel quite pleasing. As far as the picture quality is concerned (i.e., brightness, contrast, color accuracy, etc.), this monitor performs as well as any other HDR-supported IPS panel I’ve ever had experience with. Its contrast is compelling and sharp, the colors are bright and vibrant, and the QHD resolution continues to be the best quality-to-performance option for 27” panels, offering an undeniably impressive level of detail, even with mid-range hardware. My only complaint with the performance of the panel is that it came with one dead pixel in the top-left quadrant of the display. I’m not sure if this was something caused by jostling during shipping, or if the panel was malfunctioning from the factory, but at any rate, it arrived with one dead pixel. The monitor sports a pair of speakers that offer performance typical of monitor speakers (i.e., not very loud, very little low-frequency response, etc.). While I’d recommend pretty much any other audio solution over the monitor speakers, they are there if you need them. Overall, the panel itself performs wonderfully, but I do have a few issues with the materials used and construction quality. For starters, the entire monitor and the stand are clad with an exceedingly generic black textured plastic reminiscent of mid-‘00s corporate-standard PC towers. It is clear to the most casual observer that the plastic is affixed to an unfinished metal frame underneath. This construction method leads to a gap between the metal and the plastic that feels cheap and unpleasant when manipulated. In the same vein, the I/O panel on the bottom of the monitor is a simple cutout to the aforementioned unfinished metal frame. I’d expect something like this on the back of a PC tower where one might mount a GPU or a motherboard, but for a monitor, and especially a premium one such as this, this is a rather unwelcome solution. Additionally, cable management is virtually impossible with the provided cable clip at the back of the stand; the cable clip is mounted too high, and the I/O panel is mounted too low to effectively feed any of the wires through without putting a 90-degree kink in each one. Furthermore, and rather confusingly, HP has made the decision to forego a power brick in favor of a direct outlet connection in the bottom of the panel. Even more confusingly, the included power cable is only five feet in length, so your power outlet better be directly under your monitor, otherwise you will be reaching for the extension cords. Continuing with the construction confusion, the control buttons on the back of this OMEN are thin and unsatisfying buttons made from the exact same flimsy plastic as the rest of the monitor’s cladding – not only are they more difficult to locate, but they also feel rather unsatisfying to use. Moving inward towards the center of the rear, there is a genuinely sleek rhombus accent light surrounding the point where the stand mounts to the monitor. This accent light provides a nice customizable RGB glow behind the monitor. Overall, this monitor is a decent choice for those seeking a 27” panel with all the performance gaming features many have come to expect. The panel itself provides an outstanding performance in gaming with awesome picture quality and blisteringly quick response and refresh rates. The construction of the stand and the monitor, however, leaves quite a bit to be desired. Between the lackluster finishes, flimsy and somewhat unsightly plastic cladding, the ugly I/O panel, the inability to manage cables effectively, and the confusing direct outlet connection paired with the included five-foot power cable, the build-quality will likely be brought into question by users at one point or another. In conclusion, the panel itself performs wonderfully, but the construction and build-quality may leave a bit to be desired.

Turned the PC on, maybe ten minutes of it being on and idle i saw the screen flash and then just died. Im coming from the older OMEN 27i, which survived three years until the power supply randomly died, and since it was no longer in production I had to get this. Very disappointed.

It does what it claims but it’s not worth it unless you don’t care about color and like a dark monitor. It’s super dim and everything is way to red. The monitor is fast but just get an Oled if you can handle this kind of brightness

Most people regard PC monitors as very utilitarian devices -- used mostly just to show text, simple graphics and perhaps some videos. Not gamers. Their gaming rig PCs are all about performance and style. And that's probably why HP makes the Omen 27qs -- a tricked out hot rod of a PC monitor if there ever was one. On the performance side, the specs are all pretty impressive. Like a 240Hz max refresh rate and 1ms response time, with nVidia G-sync support for the fastest and lag free gameplay. Also helping out on that front is a QHD screen, which has about double the resolution of most PC monitors. Overall picture quality is top notch too, thanks in part to full VESA HDR 400 certification and a very bright IPS screen, which provides a wider viewing angle. (So your friends standing around you during gameplay can better appreciate your gaming prowess.) Colors are vivid as well since this is a DCI-PC3 monitor (a spec that promises more colors and and better color saturation than lesser monitors) But this monitor is not just about pretty pictures and fast gameplay. The hardware built into it also goes far beyond what you see in a typical PC monitor. Like two HDMI 2.0 ports and one 1.4 DisplayPort for a top quality connection to any graphic card. And two super speed USB ports, which turn the monitor into a USB hub. (A USB to PC cable and DisplayPort cable are included) Of course, gamers want lots of glitz on their PC components too, even the monitor. So the HP Omen 27 qs features special lighting effects on the back: A rope light that wraps around the mounting bracke. It defaults to bright white but can be any color and intensity you want, or can cycle between multiple colors. That's controlled by HP's Gaming Hub software, which downloaded automatically on my Windows 11 computer after I attached the monitor. The same software includes Lighting Studio, which allows you to apply uniform lighting effects to the monitor and all other lighting-capable components attached to the PC. The Gaming HUB is actually a collection of many gamer-oriented programs that do a lot more than just control the monitor. It can also give your PC and provide a quick performance tuneup and even rid it of junk files taking up valuable SSD space. All to make the games run at peak efficiency. The Hub program also makes it easier to find, download and launch PC games, a nice touch for the gaming crowd. As if that were not enough, the monitor also features decent sounding dual 3-watt speakers, a rarity on most computer monitors. Most gamers probably have a high-end audio system attached to their rigs, but built-in speakers are good in a pinch, or for normal PC chores. The HP Omen 27 qs is a surprisingly sturdy piece of hardware, weighing far more than you would expect for a monitor of this size -- about 20 pounds. That's mostly due to the very heavy base, which provides a rock solid foundation for the monitor. You won't see any wobble during heavy game play with this monitor. Even better is an internal spring-assisted slide mechanism that makes changing the height of the monitor a breeze. And yes, it tilts too. (There is a sutrdy built in 100x100mm VESA mounting plate in the back, for those with wall mounts or multi-moniter setups) Unlike most new PC monitors, this one is NOT wafer thin. It's quite chubby, in fact, and bulges out about 2 inches at its thickest point. That's probably mostly because of the hefty rear mounting plate built into the Omen 27qs So sure, it's pretty sweet gaming monitor. But what about routine PC chores? Overall, it is very good on that front too but there are a few issues you need to be aware of. The first is the result of the QHD screen, which makes everything in Windows look very small in native resolution. The easy solution to that problem is to go into Windows display settings and scale it up to 150 percent. That gets you back to something approaching a normal Windows display size, with readable text and normal looking web pages. The other option is to change the resolution to a standard HD format, which is norm on most PC monitors. Image purists might also have a few issues with fact this is an IPS screen . The advantage of IPS is provides a wide field of vision but but the downside is it can have trouble producing uniform dark blacks. They can sometimes appear dark gray, instead, depending on the source material. I could see that in some content but found the overall picture quality quite good. Excellent for standard PC chores (text, web graphics) , very good on video clips and movies. HDR, which this monitor supports, may make it better or worse, depending on content. Just be aware HDR is off by default in Windows and must be turned on in display settings. All this fancy hardware does not come cheap. But if performance and glitz are your game, you could do worse than the Omen 27qs
