Overview

The HP Omen X 27 is a mid-tier gaming monitor that was released in late 2019.

The display also has a wide color gamut that supports excellent image quality and thin 0.3-inch borders that allow for a multi-monitor setup. At only 9.9 pounds, moving it around will probably require less effort compared to the 18-pound Samsung Odyssey G7, and with support for HDR content, it remains a great display for movie watching or professional use.
