omg agreed so much. are we all god damn 10 year olds who geek out on red plastic applications. what the hell

Thanks! The ICC profile applies calibration and profiling. That's basically doing two things: Making sure that every grey tone between white and black is neutral grey and as bright or dim as it should be. And the profiling part tells compatible programs (like Photoshop etc) which real life colors the display can show and which digital value the program needs to send to accomplish that.

Cheah!

@@techlessYT hey I know it's been awhile since reviewing this. Just bought it yesterday for $300 usd brand new. If I wanna use it at 165hz level 2 seemed the best do I need the display cable and even if I decide to use it on 144hz does it do it over hdmi or display port I cant seem to find what's best for this monitor??

Hey! 1 month in, how are you finding it so far? I'm very curious about the panel since it doesn't have HDR support

Any backlight bleeding issue?

@@a-10e I'd like to know this too, currently comparing this and S2721DGF.

what are your contrast and brightness settings? and what is your lighting situation. thanks

Hello I have the omen 24.5 1080 144hz would u recommended to me I am thinking of upgrading

@@shaunxsoxkold I highly recommend this hp omen 27i.

Same here ... the display is mind blowing

@@michaeljr4085 I've got a chance to pick one up open-box. I'm curious about the HDR though and how crisp and colorful images look in games. Do you recommend even without the HDR support?

No light bleeding?

sasha antidot nope

How is it? Thinking about buying

@@TheFalxY It's amazing! If displayport 1.2 isn't an issue for you.

What is black light?

Can it be vesa mounted

@@tyrannicalking8754 yes it can.

Maybe check you currents. Mine makes no sound at all.

just curious what you bake with those Monitors?

Oh and the LED lighting is pretty cool too

Same bro! My lady grabbed it for Christmas, I’m excited for it.

Same bro same

Same

How it is it after a year? Am considering getting this monitor for my series x also :)

No issues? Backlight bleed not a problem?

How is it so far? Thinking about buying it, thanks.

@@TheFalxY so far so good I really like it , my suggestion when you do get it is don’t turn on the adaptive sync , and the refresh keep it at level 3 that way the panel stays at a consistent 165hz. The colors are great , def a great buy! It’s 499 msrp but it’s on sale at Best Buy right now for 379.99! That’s 120 dollar difference.

Just got mine too I really like it! And it’ll be even better when my series x gets here because I’ll be able to utilize the 1440p at 120 FPS

@@nicktigert9416 My Rtx 3090 came in just two days after when I got the monitor! lol It's been a great week.

Actually, it is so good that I bought the monitor. And I love it.

Wdym ghosting? What is that?

@@RG-sk5en Ghosting is when an image scrolls across the screen and it doesn't stay sharp. Leaves a blurry/ghosty trail behind as the image moves.

Thanks! I already have an eye on the M27Q... I wouldn't say either of the Dell or HP is really superior in a real world scenario. The advantage in terms of smearing is there for the 27i when using adaptive sync, but it's really small. That's something that's only visible when closely comparing both side by side. That being said I personally, given equal prices, would go for the 27i just because I like its design lol

@@techlessYT Thanks for the reply! I mean the design could be a tie breaker, as the two monitors are so similar - it's a reason as good as any! I also think it looks a bit better. Hope you have a merry Christmas!

Did you find this out? Need to know the same !!!

@@legendarymoji I have this monitor and a PS5. Unfortunately, I can confirm this monitor does not do that :(

I want to know the answer to this, looking at buying the 25i as well.

It’s amazing. I had the Dell Gaming S2716DGR and Omen is much better. Feels more premium and much classier than any other gaming monitor in that class

@@CapDrew i just ordered dell s27121 now im debating on getting this

TheGUYWITHNOCAT if you have a little more budget get OMEN. Huge difference. Brighter, no bleeds, and more Hz

Drew G they cost the same

TheGUYWITHNOCAT ca for the dell I got it for 350 at Best Buy and Omen 27i for 600

Whatever is cheaper I guess

Curious which one you got & are you happy with it?

Thanks! The nano coating absorbs some light in the orange and yellow spectrum. This is done to get purer red and green light. Thanks to that, larger color gamuts can be displayed. I would be very surprised if the nano coating or the resulting narrower red and green light spectrums could cause headaches - never heard anything like that. There's even a study suggesting that narrow band green light can help against migraine. Maybe the high color saturation bothers you? The ICC profile should help in some cases, at least in color managed applications. Going to 120 Hz 10 Bit could potentially cause more headaches as this is a 8 Bit + FRC mode. The pixels essential "flicker" between two colors to render a color in between. So you should stick to 8 Bits. Trying the lowest overdrive settings and turning down the brightness would've also been my suggestion. I unfortunately don't have any other ideas, sorry. In a dark room you should turn the brightness down to 0. During daylight a value around 26 usually is a good setting and anything below 0 to 26 for somewhat dim lighting conditions.

@@techlessYT I appreciate the reply! In case anyone comes across this with the same issues the last couple days have been better and I am not entirely sure why as there are a few variables. I went back to 8bit 165hz and turned on dynamic contrast. Standard mode RGB 252/242/252 brightness 25 contrast 78, overdrive level 1. For whatever reason these settings seem to work for me. Dynamic contrast seems to make the screen brighter but somehow it is in a way that is less upsetting to my eyes. Again, it may just be getting used to 1440p or something and it randomly clicked now, but i am just happy I can fully enjoy this great monitor as I love everything else about it.

The benefits of 10 bit (8 bit + FRC) at 144 Hz are pretty negligible - I personally wouldn't give anything on that. The difference between 144 Hz and 165 Hz is subtle, for some this will be worth 20€, others couldn't care less. So in my opinion in comes down to price and design. If you ask me, I would get the 27i for 20€, because I like its design and would take the 165 Hz as a nice little bonus.

how r u liking 30L?

@@janaylee5738 i like it very much...just recently picked up the omen 27i monitor to go withit and it runs 1440p gaming with good 60-120 fps jn games.

@@Peanutbutter_madden to get the 165hz do u need to use display.m cable or will it output 165hz with hdmi

@@blitzbreppin9847 I think you’ll need display port cable for 165 and the hdmi is capped at 120.

@@Peanutbutter_madden awesome thanks. I just bought this monitor new yesterday for $300 usd. Level 2 seemed like the sweet spot for gaming

Same! Can’t wait to get home and put it to use.

I haven't tested the LGs, but the Dell came with the V2 nano IPS while the Omen 27i I reviewed had the V1. The panel related differences basically came down to usual variance. So, I think the same applies to GN vs GL. From a reviewer's perspective it's almost impossible to say anything useful about long term reliability. I usually only test one sample and usually over a period of weeks rather than months or even years.

@@techlessYT Thanks a ton for your thoughts. Rtings seem to confirm that the 27gn850 is a little better (manifesting through their direct comparison tool with results side by side), but i agree with you, it's probably well within variance. Concerning panel reliability, it's indeed too complicated to compare, but it's so difficult to find reliable infos on these, just read about an ancient deal between Hitachi and Lg for the production of ips panel.

Anyway, i ended up following your wise advice and bought the Acer XV272UP, which uses the same panel as yours... thanks for your videos and recommendations.. it's a perfect monitor, very balanced ;-)

Wow that's a huge price difference! I can of course only speak for myself, but I would not spend that much more for esthetics.

Omen i27 worth it. At least for my Xbox series 🤫

Yea it’s a great option, especially since there are no 2.1 hdmi 4k monitors that will take full advantage of the series x yet, this is perfect

Just got it for my series x, even tho it doesn’t do 4K at 60fps, i get 1440 at 120 FPS

Yeah with the no hdmi 2.1 on monitors yet I think this is the best option for responsive gaming. If you have a 4k TV you can also hook the series x up to that to play like an RPG or something where response times don't matter as much. I ended up buying this omen also and it has been great

The X 27 is a completely different monitor. It has a TN panel in contrast to the IPS panel of the 27i. I would absolutely not recommend a TN panel if competitive gaming isn't your top priority.

@@techlessYT That's what I thought, thank you very much! :)

Thanks! The Omen X 27 has a TN panel and I would strongly advise against a TN panel for any creative work. The X 27 and 27i both support Freesync as well as Gsync, so you can use Freesync with your AMD card. You will probably get something like 100 FPS in WOW and Overwatch with maxed out graphic settings, but setting everything to low should probably get you pretty close to 240 FPS. LOL shouldn't be a problem at all. I haven't tested the X 27, but it probably is a good monitor for gaming. Though I would absolutely not recommend a TN panel for any creative work.

Thank you very much for the quick and thorough reply! Therefor would you recommend the 27i for a mixed use?

I think the 27i is a good choice for mixed usage. It's a bit more focused on gaming than creative work due the mediocre black level, but great ghosting performance.

i just got one today but have extremely bad buyer's remorse for some reason. Do you think it is good?

@@dae8894 why buyers remorse? I just bought it lol

@@zacharydaily6632 because I know the Asus TUF is better but it wasn't available so I just settled for the Omen

Do you recommend this monitor for gaming ?

@@abdelmoniemelsheikh3632 yes i do its more on the good looking side but i had it running on 1ms on cod MW and couldn't really see ghosting or anything. I love my HP omen bestbuy has it for 380 bucks man i paid 500 for it its worth it!

@@JuanGonzales-yq5cw went today and bought it since it was black friday, gotta take advantage

Many of the most uniform panels actually use IPS technology. Non-uniformities can occur with any panel technology, so I wouldn't consider any current technology as far better or worse in that regard. Though it usually is harder to manufacture bigger monitors with good uniformity, so your 24" had an advantage here.

@@techlessYT So it seems that seeing darker borders in white backgrounds is kind of normal with this monitor and other similar monitors, right? I just notice that increasing the brightness it reduces the effect (I set up to 25, 75 contrast, the original settings was crazy bright!)

@@davidareia Hey, sorry to bother, but did you also set the dynamic contrast on it? I recently bought mine and I am looking for the best specs for it.

They have some on Cyberpowerpc

I got the 25 inch omen monitor it’s nice 👍🏼

If you want to use 10 Bits of color depth and also want LG's fast IPS panel, I'd probably go for the LG 27GL850.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but the screen doesn't extent all the way to the edge. It should look like at e.g. 8:10

the blb is killing me tho. meaby i will return it.. :(

Thanks! You may find a few faster TN panels, but generally speaking it's TN-like performance.

@@techlessYT Thanks! Now I use Benq xl2720z 144Hz for games, the monitor is fast, the picture in motion is very clear, but I already want to buy something with 2k resolution. I hope the HP Omen 27i will suit me)
