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.
 
Pricing is set at $649.99. Personally I find the price a little high for a 2560 x 1440 monitor despite the quality.

    Not a bad price for being a 1440p 240hz TN panel.  Usually the 144hz are in that range.

    Awesome specs, not a fan of the price... but really reasonable price considering a 1080p 240Hz montior is going to cost you $400-$500 for a 25". Wish they could get it in a IPS flavor though, cause I am getting sick of my TN panel. I've been thinking about switching over to an IPS 144Hz panel after getting a second 1440p monitor for non-gaming stuff and it's IPS. The colors just look so much better on IPS.
