The HP Omen Transcend gaming monitor is the epitome of “going all out.” Sporting a stunning 4K resolution paired with a blazing 240Hz refresh rate, this 32-inch flat panel wonder is now available at Best Buy for $899.99, down from its original price of $1,299.99. Beyond its impeccable visual quality, this monitor features a lightning-fast response time of just 0.03ms, supports both AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync, and delivers a host of user-friendly features that are hard to beat for the price.
When it comes to connectivity, the Transcend shines with a variety of options. It includes two HDMI 2.1 ports, a 2.1 DisplayPort, three USB-A ports for hooking up peripherals, and a handy 3.5 mm audio jack for your headphones. Plus, there are three USB-C ports: two dedicated to data transfer and one that can supply up to 140W of power, perfect for displays or laptops.
One of the standout features of the Transcend has to be its picture-in-picture mode. This allows you to effortlessly view two sources at the same time, essentially giving you two screens within one and making the switch between them seamless. Plus, as if it needed any more flair, the monitor’s back is equipped with RGB lighting, because why not make a statement?
The monitor doesn’t just stop at visuals. Its included stand lets you adjust the height, tilt, and swivel, and even rotate it 90 degrees to a portrait orientation. For those who prefer their own setup, it also accommodates a 100 x 100 VESA mount, making it compatible with hydraulic arms and other mounting solutions.
While these features are undoubtedly impressive, it’s important to remember that unless your desktop is outfitted with the newest hardware, or you’re playing at a reduced resolution, you might not actually achieve 240 frames per second. However, if you’re looking for a monitor that excels across the board, the HP Omen Transcend is a stellar choice—especially at this appealing price point.
