Despite its low contrast ratio and narrow viewing angles, the HP Omen X 27 remains an excellent pick for gamers thanks to its 240Hz refresh rate, low 2.8ms input lag, and swift 2ms response time.
Product Snapshot
Overview
The HP Omen X 27 is a mid-tier gaming monitor that was released in late 2019. The 27-inch display boasts a 240Hz max refresh rate that guarantees fluid gameplay, and a super low 2.8ms input lag that makes it really quick at command execution. 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.
