The race for gaming monitor supremacy just got hotter. HP has officially entered the next-gen panel arena, leveraging Samsung Display's cutting-edge QD-OLED technology to create a potential new champion for hardcore gamers. Following in the footsteps of brands like Asus and MSI, HP's new contender is the HyperX Omen 34-inch OLED 360 Hz Gaming Monitor, and its specs sheet reads like a wish list for competitive players and immersive experience seekers alike.
At first glance, the familiar 34-inch, 21:9 ultrawide form factor with its 1800R curve and WQHD (3440 x 1440) resolution might seem like well-trodden ground—previously championed by excellent displays like the Alienware AW3425DW. But HP isn't just playing catch-up; they're aiming to redefine the category with one staggering number: 360 Hz.
The Need for Speed: Where 360Hz Meets QD-OLED Perfection
This is where the HyperX Omen 34-inch truly separates itself. By pushing the refresh rate to a blistering 360 Hz on a QD-OLED panel, HP promises an unprecedented combination of fluidity and pixel-perfect clarity. The near-instantaneous 0.03 ms gray-to-gray response time of OLED eliminates ghosting and smearing, while the extreme refresh rate ensures buttery-smooth motion in the fastest-paced games.
To ensure this performance is delivered flawlessly, HP has equipped the monitor with both AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility. This dual-certification is a major win for users, effectively eliminating screen tearing and stuttering regardless of whether their rig is powered by Team Red or Team Green.
A Visual Feast, Certified
Beyond speed, the visual credentials are equally impressive. Utilizing a 5th Generation QD-OLED panel, the monitor carries the VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification. This guarantees profound, inky blacks (OLED's signature strength) and spectacular highlight detail. HP states it can hit 500 nits of brightness and covers an exceptional range of color—99% of Adobe RGB and 96% of DCI-P3. For creators and gamers who demand color accuracy, this is a huge draw.
Built for the Modern Battlestation
Understanding that a monitor is the hub of a desktop setup, HP has packed the Omen 34-inch with thoughtful connectivity. The star of the show is a robust USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode and 100W of power delivery, allowing you to connect, charge, and display from a modern laptop with a single cable. For those managing multiple PCs or a work-and-play setup, the integrated KVM switch (with a handy dedicated button) is a fantastic quality-of-life feature, letting you control two systems with one set of peripherals.
As a leader in computing, HP continues to push the envelope for what users can expect from their hardware. While we await final pricing and a firm release date, the HyperX Omen 34-inch OLED's debut at CES 2026 signals a global launch is imminent. This monitor isn't just an iteration; it's a statement that the ultrawide high-refresh-rate crown is up for grabs, and HP is coming for it.
