(Note that the wide-angle photograph makes it look curved, but it's not.) Because of the thin-but-not-too-thin depth, it's also suited for perching a webcam atop. I've been using it for months and I haven't had a single problem or screen artifact issue. HP's 27-inch 2,560x1,440 27i features a wide color gamut (98% P3), a gaming-friendly 165Hz refresh rate with Nvidia G-Sync (over DisplayPort) and an elegant design that should pass muster with less gaming-oriented family members it's got some simple gaming lighting, but also a useful task light shining down beneath the bottom bezel.Īnd because of the unique port arrangement - on the sides of a diamond in the back - it's a lot easier to maneuver cables than the typical recessed, bottom-accessed design.
Although it's part of HP's Omen gaming line, this has become one of my favorite overall monitors of the past 12 months.
