HP Announces the Omen X 27 Gaming Monitor: 27" TN, 2560 x 1440, 240 Hz, FreeSync 2, HDR

HP announces their newest addition to their Omen lineup of specialized gaming monitors. The Omen X 27 (you have to love the simplicity) is a 27" monitor featuring a TN panel - the compromise needed for achieving the ultra-fast 240 Hz refresh rates on offer. The 1 ms response time ensures fast, responsive pixels, while FreeSync 2 is a must for refresh rates such as these - either your graphics card or CPU will introduce some framerate dips, you can almost be sure of that. There's HDR support at the lowest FreeSync 2-supported level - 400 nits. HP say this TN panel can render 90% of the DCI-P3 color space - which sets it apart from most other TN panels and even some IPS solutions.

The Omen X 27 joins HP's growing cadre of Omen monitors this September, joining the Omen X 25 - which has already made its debut for 630€ or $550. Connectivity includes 1x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI, and 2x USB 3.0 slots. Pricing is set at $649.99.

csgo will easily on most modern systems. and csgo does look better at 1440p imo mass effect trilogy probably will, lot of older games will have no issues pushing 200+

nah my gtx 1080 can push 200 frames on dragon age origins at 1440p, and that game looks so good at 1440p. /shrug lot of older games are easy to push.

I find card games more enjoyable at 100 fps versus 60, much more relaxing experience than seeing card blur. /shrug judge me all you want its a free country and i enjoy what i enjoy

1440p @ 240Hz = 4k @ 106Hz
2080ti might handle it.

that logic makes no sense at all. games/gpu's handle 1440p much easier than 4k...

I know but that is not how real world benchmarks scale. and it varies by game on top of that.

You said it varies with game so I gave you an example.
You can always put CS:GO on the table for >400 fps , or Crysis which optimized for 2 cores , or something like Doom 2016 has a hard 120 fps cap.

Even if this was an 8-bit TN, the viewing angles and colour shift at 27 inch would be a murder...

This is a 1440p 240hz panel, so it's not going to be an IPS :roll: literally 1080p 240hz is finally getting IPS.
