[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unbelievable right out of the box. Faster than anything I've seen and outstanding picture. The screen was so awesome for gaming that I decided I had to see how it was with movies. I put in lord of the rings on blue ray just to check it out and watched the entire movie. Just all around amazing; it was like being at the theatre on my own PC. If you're a gamer this is the monitor to buy. Wow.
Pros: Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros: 240 hz 1440p with low input lag. Monitor style is sleek no gimmicks that look gaudy. Can turn off distracting lights on the monitor.
Cons: Vesa mount is terrible, very loose and makes monitor hard to adjust. Anti-glare coating is bad, very noticeable on white or light colors. Not sure all settings are available in the OMEN Command Center and the OSD is hard to use. Viewing angles are not the best, but this is expected for a TN panel, doesn't really affect games.
Overall I should have paid more attention to the other reviews and waited for other 1440p 240hz monitors to come out.
I was expecting a fast quality monitor and I received just that. The performance specs were what I was personally after. This monitor is currently in the Top 5 amongst 240hz monitors at 1440p resolution. It competes with the best even though HP isn't well known for its gaming products. The monitor has worked flawlessly out of the box with no dead pixels and no damages. The packaging was very safe and assembling the monitor took less than 10 minutes. HP will be on my radar as a go-to monitor company in the future. Thanks, HP!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 1440p monitors are more and more becoming the norm in PC gaming and I'm glad I was finally able to get my hands on one. This thing has been worth every penny!
It's not a top-of-the-line performer because, in the world of electronics, you often get what you pay for. However, for this price point, it would be difficult to do much better. The screen is bright and sharp, the colors pop, and the 165hz makes my games look absolutely stunning! It also has a very cool design aesthetic- I love the metal base, headphone holders, angled USB/HDMI/DisplayPort inputs and the exterior RBG (this isn't necessary for a great monitor, but I'm a sucker for pretty lights :D).
The only thing I've had trouble with is the external RBG sort of like to do whatever they want. I'll often sit down at my computer and they've defaulted to either whatever settings I had previously, or just the white setting. I downloaded the OMEN controller software on the Microsoft store and haven't had an issue since, but that's just one more program I have had to download which I only use to control one set of lights...annoying.
Overall, I'd recommend this monitor to anyone looking to jump up to 1440p gaming, however.
I bought one monitor for one gaming PC. Great balance of resolution, refresh rate, and color gamut for FPS gaming. Loved it so much I bought a 2nd one for another gaming PC.
I had issues getting it set up. It wasn't crystal clear which cords went where, and them being just the tiniest bit loose meant the monitor didn't turn on which made me think I'd hooked it up wrong. But once it was hooked up properly it worked really well.
