The HP Omen Transcend gaming monitor could very well be the epitome of excess. With its jaw-dropping 4K resolution and a lightning-fast 240Hz refresh rate, this 32-inch flat screen is currently being offered at Best Buy for $899.99, down from its original price of $1,299.99. Not only does the Transcend deliver stunning visuals, but it also boasts a response time of just 0.03ms, compatibility with both AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync, along with a host of other features that are hard to beat at this price point.
In terms of connectivity, the Transcend is well-equipped. It includes two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 2.1, and three USB-A ports for all your peripherals. There’s also a 3.5 mm audio jack for your headphones. Additionally, it comes with three USB-C ports: two for data and one that offers up to 140W power delivery, perfect for connecting displays or laptops.
One standout feature of the Transcend is its picture-in-picture mode, which lets you view two sources at once—essentially giving you the power of two screens in one neat package. Not to mention, the monitor also has built-in RGB lighting at the back for those who want to make an even bolder statement.
The monitor’s stand isn’t just stylish, it’s functional too. It allows you to adjust height, tilt, and swivel, and if needed, you can rotate the monitor 90 degrees into a portrait orientation. If a hydraulic arm or an alternative mounting solution is more your style, it comes with a 100 x 100 VESA mount for easy installation.
Even though the monitor comes with a plethora of impressive features, keep in mind that unless your desktop is equipped with top-of-the-line hardware, or you lower the game resolution, hitting 240 frames per second might remain elusive. But if you’re in the market for a monitor that pretty much does it all, you wouldn’t go wrong with the HP Omen Transcend, especially given its current price.
