Review on HP OMEN FreeSync Compatible Monitor 27", 2560X1440, 165Hz, Anti Glare Screen, 8AC94AA#ABA by Paul Michaud

PROS: - Excellent image quality - Easy to set up - Integrated RGB lighting on the back and a small "Tasks Indicator" at the bottom of the screen. - Compatible with VESA mount. CONS: - RGB on the back. Bright enough to turn on. Even when I held the monitor with the bracket as close as possible to the wall, I never noticed it. Unfortunately, although the stand is very stable, it is not very high. Even at maximum height, the center of the screen wasn't much below eye level, causing me to have to tilt my neck, which can become uncomfortable if you're in front of the monitor for long periods of time (e.g. working from home due to Covid-19) . For the record, I'm only 5ft 9in so I'm not crazy or anything. Many aspects of the monitor get in the way of staying completely true to the Omen's diamond-shaped aesthetic. The monitor stand is diamond shaped, which means it takes up a lot more space than it needs to. And if you want to ditch the stand altogether and take advantage of VESA mount compatibility, note that the mounting points are ALSO rotated 45 degrees, so they match the same aesthetic, so you they can only be used with a mount that can also be rotated that way, and the large diamond-shaped protrusion on the back makes centering the webcam a little tricky.
