| HyperX Omen 27-inch QD-OLED gaming monitors - front and rear |
Gamers, it’s time to adjust your wishlists. HyperX, the brand synonymous with high-performance gaming gear, has just unveiled two spectacular new additions to its monitor lineup. The star of the show? A pair of 27-inch QD-OLED panels that promise to redefine visual clarity and speed, with one model pushing refresh rates to an almost unimaginable 500 Hz.
This announcement signals HyperX's serious commitment to capturing the premium gaming display market, leveraging the perfect marriage of QD-OLED's pixel-perfect contrast with refresh rates designed to leave blur in the dust. Whether you're a immersive single-player adventurer or a twitch-sensitive competitive esports pro, one of these new screens seems tailor-made for you.
Let's break down the details of these dazzling new displays.
The All-Rounder: HyperX 27" QD-OLED 240Hz
First up is the 27-inch QD-OLED with a 240 Hz refresh rate. Don't let the "base model" tag fool you—this monitor is a powerhouse. It features a Quad HD (2560 x 1440) resolution, which has become the sweet spot for gamers seeking a balance between sharp detail and high frame rates.
With a quoted 0.03 ms gray-to-gray response time and a native contrast ratio of 1.5 million:1, motion should look exceptionally crisp, and blacks will be truly inky. It covers 99% of both the DCI-P3 and sRGB color gamuts, and HyperX states it's factory calibrated to an average Delta E < 2, ensuring strong color accuracy out of the box.
For connectivity, you get a DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and a 3.5mm audio jack. It’s fully compatible with both NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium, and its motion clarity is certified under the rigorous VESA ClearMR 13000 standard. The fully adjustable stand offers height, tilt, swivel, and pivot, and it supports 100x100mm VESA mounting.

The Esports Beast: HyperX 27" QD-OLED 500Hz
Now, for the main event. HyperX is throwing down the gauntlet with a 27-inch QD-OLED sporting a staggering 500 Hz refresh rate at the same QHD resolution. This is the kind of spec that makes competitive gamers do a double-take. It’s built to provide the ultimate edge in reaction time and motion clarity, certified at the highest VESA ClearMR 21000 level.
The visual specs get a boost, too. It carries VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification for stunning HDR performance and expands color coverage to 98% DCI-P3 and 96% Adobe RGB. HyperX's proprietary ProLuma factory calibration aims for an incredible average Delta E < 1.
Connectivity is where this model truly becomes a command center. Beyond DisplayPort 1.4 and dual HDMI 2.1, it adds a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode and up to 100W of power delivery—perfect for charging a laptop. It also includes a USB hub, a dedicated one-touch KVM switch button, customizable aRGB lighting, and even a 3D-printable headphone hook. Crucially, it comes packed with HyperX OLED CoreProtect suite of tools, dedicated to mitigating the risk of burn-in and preserving your investment.
A Powerful Partnership in Performance
This aggressive move into the high-end monitor arena is bolstered by HyperX's deep-rooted engineering heritage. As a key brand within the broader HP ecosystem, it benefits from significant R&D and quality assurance resources. For users invested in a cohesive tech setup, this integration is a significant plus. You can explore the full spectrum of innovation from its parent company at the HP homepage, where gaming, computing, and printing solutions converge.

What’s clear is that HyperX isn't playing it safe. By launching both a highly capable 240Hz all-rounder and a groundbreaking 500Hz esports specialist, they're catering to the upper echelon of the gaming community with cutting-edge QD-OLED technology.
