HP Omen X 27 Review: The Fastest 1440p Gaming Monitor

[Julio Franco]

The HP Omen X 27 is a standard 1440p display (2560 x 1440), but it pushes the refresh rate up to 240Hz for the first time. We've had 240Hz available on 1080p monitors for some time, but 1440p hasn't been able to step up to the super high refresh podium until now with these modern panels.

I have the 165Hz version of this monitor and run it at 144Hz with my GTX 1080.
It's been a solid panel and I plan on keeping it for a long time, the 1MS response time paired with Gsync makes my system appear to run games much better then it has any business doing.

This monitor sponsored by Nvidia's exclusive higher K/D ratio technology.

Why does marketing continue to support ignorance.
2k is 1080p not 2560x1440,

I have the LG. It is top class, few people really need the extra hertz these TN panels provide. Is this niche? I would say very much so. TN has had its day.

I have the HP Omen 25 1080p 144hz monitor and like it alot. I never go back to lesser speeds.

Surprised it does have such high P3 color space. Supposedly a VA, Qled monitor has 92%+, while some tv's have 99% according to review sites. Probably hard to notice, unless a direct comparison side by side. Unfortunate that there aren't Qleds on the charts. I got a Qled samsung and it has FPS mode which probably resembles TN's native contrast.

I have the Legion variant with LG GL850-B panel equipped but with better contrast and native 165Hz.
Why would you want 1ms from a TN when you can have it from an IPS with true 98% wide color format DCI-P3.

Insanely low input lag.

That is some perfect DCI-P3 score. When I looked around the QLED tech, I couldn't find anything comparable to it and its color reproduction, since it was the closest to OLED's color reproduction LG and others had, but LG also employs its Nano Cells for some of displays, and maybe your IPS has similar technology.

I thought QLED is the superior technology, besides OLED. Since Samsung kind of gave up its OLED line for QLED new tech.
I tried to do a comparison with an oled from smartphone, and even if is older generation, it still seems ahead of the QLED to me.

How did you find that monitor? I thought those ips are for professional use, but that one also has 165hz which is suitable for games.
