If you know nothing about monitors, or even if you do, you can rest assured that this is the best overall monitor to buy for productivity, gaming, and content viewing.
After looking at 100 different options, I kept coming back to it for the following reasons:
Pros:
PPI - There are very few monitors which can replicate the pixel density of a Mac Retina display. After using, this, I can say the text is super crisp and the images are very bright.
Size - Most 4k 144hz monitors go up to 32 in. This was pretty much the only one that could cram all that pixel rate into a monitor which comfortably fits on my desk.
Clean Look: The stand and monitor don’t “scream gaming” and fit nicely with the apple aesthestic.
Cost: Most other monitors in this price range are $600-800, so that price is fair.
Color Accuracy and HDR: Color accuracy is pretty good and HDR pops out a lot when in use.
Cons:
Size - I personally wanted a monitor in the 24-27 in range, but that may be too small for a lot of people.
View Angles - The glare can be a bit intense when viewed from the side, but not a huge issue unles you constantly need to show your screen to other people.
Edge Lighting - When HDR is enabled, the low number of edge lit dimming zones become really apparent and cause some distracting lighting. However, it is tolerable and most content is not HDR anyways.
HDR: It is technically HDR, but HDR400, meaning it just clears the threshold of qualifying. So it, won’t be good as an OLED monitor. Also, I think this is an Apple issue, but using HDR on SDR content causes the monitor to seem washed out. I recommend using the Native setting and swtiching HDR on in the apple settings for HDR content.
Longevity and Reputation: My only concern is that HP Omen monitors have no existed that long, so I can’t speak to longevity and lifespan. But, from what I heard, they are comparable to other manufacturers.
So overall, this was the only monitor that met my personal requirements of small size, clean look, high refresh rate, 4k, HDR, and decent price. I am very happy with it. If you don’t want to wait 1-2 years to see the next generation of monitors, I highly reccomend.

Work and Play: great for those who work with a lot of text, but also find themselves gaming at night
Size: 27 InchVerified Purchase - Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2024Size: 27 InchVerified Purchase
Monitor arrived with a crack in the screen that rendered it unusable, with weird effects such as not clearing the image, black lines, and an obvious dark circle. The return process was clunky - only allowing returns, and not a replacement product, which meant buying it on sale was worthless.
The monitor itself is excellent, but the box was designed for retail, not shipping
