The HP OMEN 27i is a high-quality game monitor. It has an exceptional response time(1ms), so there is very little blurring behind fast-moving objects. It also has an excellent low input delay for a responsive gaming experience and supports FreeSync variable update frequency technology. On the other hand, this monitor is not a great choice for night games, as it has a low contrast ratio and poor black uniformity.
