HP OMEN 27c
The HP OMEN 27c is great for gaming. It has a high 240Hz refresh rate with FreeSync VRR support and G-SYNC compatibility to deliver a nearly tear-free gaming experience. It also has low input lag and a quick response time, but you'll notice black smearing with some fast-moving objects. It's a good choice for dark room gaming because it has a good native contrast ratio, but the black uniformity is disappointing. Sadly, it's bad for co-op gaming because of its narrow viewing angles and limited ergonomics.

The HP Omen 27c has loads of contrast, good sRGB colours and the kind of specification that’ll make any mainstream game or eSports title look great, but if you look elsewhere you’ll easily find better colour and HDR ability.

The HP Omen 27c curved gaming monitor is an affordable way for gamers to get 1440p at 240Hz with 1ms pixel response, but its low contrast and poor HDR performance will disappoint visual content creators.
