Flagship gaming monitors that are good no matter what side you look at. Their main advantage lies in the availability of literally everything that a modern gamer needs to get a pleasant and memorable experience. The key difference from other gaming monitors is the use of TN+film class matrices, which most people look at askance due to small viewing angles. Contrary to public opinion, HP engineers put all the chips on red, not black. The logic here is simple: despite all their capriciousness, TN-matrices demonstrate phenomenal responsiveness, so it is much easier to assemble an honest esports monitor with a response rate of less than 1 ms without the need for MPRT on their basis.
Otherwise, these are high-end gaming monitors, on board of which there is everything that a modern video game fan needs. The set of additional features most often includes optional support for HDR content, a USB hub for peripherals, support for fast charging, built-in speakers and an ergonomic stand with which the user is free to adjust both the tilt and the height of the screen. There are also so-called gaming functions like a fixed sight, an FPS counter, a timer or a specialized feature that highlights particularly dark areas in the game, preventing virtual enemies from hiding in pitch darkness.
The most popular models in the Omen line are the twin monitors Omen X25 and Omen X 25f. Both are made on the basis of a 24-inch TN matrix with a classic resolution of 1920 x 1080, which treats the resources of the graphics card more loyally than 2K or 4K. The main features of these models are really fast reaction speed (1 ms), high scan frequency (240 Hz), as well as support for the most advanced adaptive synchronization technologies FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync. Such a solution is not so common, usually manufacturers choose either shareware FreeSync, or a more complex hardware and software G-Sync.
