Most Favorable Review

Big and beautiful. For the price I am happy.

HP Omen 32-inch Standard Full QHD Display (2560 x 1440 pixels) 75Hz Refresh Rate

Pros: Price and factory settings are acceptable. Packaging is excellent and has all the needed cables. Mine has zero issues out of the box.

Cons: Vendor shows a 3 year warranty but the hp site only says 1 year. I hope there are no problems because that sounds like a fight I will lose.

Overall Review: Games are smooth and run at 75fps as advertised and look great. I upgraded from a 2k 27" and did have to take one step back from my standing desk to get the same experience without having to turn my head and look around the screen. Its huge! Now I need another rx 480 to push all my games to 75fps. Why are you reading this when you could be buying one?

Most Critical Review

Bad bios

Pros: Looks good.

Cons: Had a bios crash which it did recover from, so I flashed it to the newest version and it let me load the OS and it ran well for 2 hours. It started freezing in win7 so rebooted to flash to the version of bios before the latest beta and there are no bios at all. Repeatedly cleared the cmos and tried 3 different sticks of memory and 3 video cards and there's nothing. After searching online I'm not the only one. Put the other parts in my old board and I am using them right now.

Its a whole new world for me

Pros: Works as advertised Fast ship and good packaging

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I switched to this from a 32" hp 2k running at 75hz and its a HUGE improvement and cant believe how much I haven't been seeing. The difference is night and day and all the issues I had using the freesync monitor with a gtx 1080 are gone using gsync. No more tweaking just enabled gysnc from the control panel and optimized my games and a nice smooth stable experience. Didn't try oveclocking it looks good enough as it is for me. Colors aren't as bold as my old monitor but looks decent in games which is why I got it. If this were a 32" screen I would be in heaven. Buy it!

Good so far

Pros: Plug and play Works with both sized drives I have tried

Cons: none

Overall Review: Just needed something to access drives I have laying around and it works fine. Transfer speeds are acceptable and did not have to install any software. Works for me.

I like mine

Intel Core i7 7th Gen - Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake Quad-Core 4.2 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80677I77700K Desktop Processor

Pros: Speed More speed

Cons: Can run hot

Overall Review: Blows my old fx8350 away and the cpu lag in games vanished altogether. Mine stays around 58 when gaming but when stress testing it rose past 95 very quickly on air cooling. I only game at stock speeds so hasnt been an issue but if you are going to keep it maxed out and clocked up you may want to consider that.
