Whether they play for just a few hours a week or spend all weekend in an online tournament, gamers shouldn’t take their displays for granted.

From first-person shooters on a single screen to vast RPGs with multiple monitors, there’s an HP OMEN display that’s right for every situation.
Benefits of HPs OMEN Monitors
No matter which HP OMEN display you choose, you'll get a great balance of features and practicality. Plus, they look pretty amazing in your work or gaming space. Top perks include:
Value
While it’s possible to spend thousands for a first-class visual experience, HP displays provide more for your money. In fact, many people use their gaming monitor as their sole monitor, switching between work and home applications to their favorite game. Some HP OMEN monitors also come with integrated speakers. Gamers have the option of purchasing one reliable monitor to do all the things, making it a great buy for the multitasker.
Scalability
Many gamers do very well with just one monitor, especially if they invest in an ultrawide screen that covers more area. If you’re the type to use many applications at once, setting up multiple displays makes sense, and that’s where the plug-and-play technology of HP comes in handy. Get one, two, or even three monitors to make your work and play space its very best.
Compatibility
There's nothing more frustrating than learning your new monitor doesn't play well with your existing tech, but the HP OMEN line has made it simple to connect to almost any device. With HDMI and DP ports to match up your gear in seconds, you won’t hesitate to hook up your computer, console, or another gaming device to your new HP monitor. If you already have an HP gaming PC, you’ll find that the HP OMEN Gaming Hub software works seamlessly with most HP OMEN displays, so you can get every bit of enjoyment out of all your gear. ·
Durability
When you pick an HP monitor, you’re signing up for the long haul; these displays were built with gamers in mind and made for long hours of fast-paced play. Each product is backed by HP’s warranty to be sent to you without imperfections and only with long-lasting, quality parts. If you ever run into questions or issues, simply contact HP’s helpful support team to get answers and then get back to the game.
Quality
All modern monitors feature the best in tech, right? Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Fortunately, with the HP OMEN line of displays, you get access to FHD or QHD resolution and super-fast refresh rates that help you catch every detail of the game - without the lag.
Did we mention that some of the screens include low blue light EyeSafe Certification and adjustable height, tilt, and swivel to help support healthy screen use and keep you playing comfortably, day or night?
Sustainability
These monitors also support efforts to do better for our planet. With 100% recyclable packaging and products that contain up to 85% recycled plastic and 10% recycled metal, you’ll be reducing waste with every purchase and putting your values into action. Lower energy use also helps you reduce electric bills while keeping your work area cooler as you play.
