HP to Introduce Omen X 25, Omen X 25f 240 Hz, 1080p TN panel Monitors
HP is on the verge of introducing their new gaming grade, Omen-branded gaming monitors. The main design option for these was pure refresh rate speed, with both monitors sacrificing on resolution - a 1080p density is all there is) for blazing fast, 240 Hz refresh rates. The panel type is, of course, the most capable of high refresh rates: TN. The Omen X 25 manages this feat with help of NVIDIA's G-Sync proprietary module, while the X 25f only features support for adaptive sync (this means it's likely G-Sync compatible, at the least, as well as being well paired with AMD's FreeSync).
HP have partnered with Blizzard, meaning these Omen monitors will be the official monitors of the Overwatch League. There's ambient lighting on the base of the panel, which features HP's "micro-edge display" with 1 mm bezels on three sides and a 100 mm, adjustable height stand. The HP Omen X 25 covers ports through 1x DisplayPort 1.2, 1x HDMI 1.4, and 2x USB 3.0 ports, while the X 25f offers 1x DisplayPort 1.2, 2x HDMI 2.0, and 2x USB 3.0 ports. The Omen X25 will be making an appearance in Europe in June for 630€ ($550), and will be released in the US by September of this year. The Omen X 25f will be available in early June in the US and late June in Europe, for $450 (€460).

10 Comments on HP to Introduce Omen X 25, Omen X 25f 240 Hz, 1080p TN panel Monitors
240hz doesn´t ruin the image, TN panels are not meant for accurate colour reproduction, they are meant for fast paced games and low input lag. Actually I can´t even use 144hz anymore after using 240hz for so long. By far the best gaming experience I ever had in my life.
This is overpriced tho, you can get 240hz monitors for as low as 250€-300€ nowadays.
As for your second line, no they are not interpoled 120hz panels. AlienWare AW2518HF, Asus XG258Q, ViewSonic XG2530, they are all native 240hz monitors, not 120hz. And you can find them from 250€ (AlienWare had that price last week on Amazon EU) to 300€ (asus and Viewsonic)-
They use exactly the same panel as this HP Omen. The newest 24,5 by AUO. This HP model has a Gsync module, and that´s why it is more expensive, just like the Asus PG258Q with the same panel and a Gsync module aswell. Not worth it at 240hz tho.
