"It's a little bit hard to work out without knowing the altitude of that dragon..."Read our editorial policyWant a solid 27-inch gaming monitor and a free set of headphones to get a nice and affordable setup for PC gaming? HP is offering their Omen 27 1080p 165Hz monitor with their Pavilion Gaming Headset 400 for just £160 at their UK store, a good price for a high refresh rate monitor given that the monitor alone cost £220 when it debuted last year.
The IPS panel used here has a rated 1ms GtG response time, which is solid enough if not totally indicative of real-world testing, and suits web browsing, working and watching video in addition to just gaming - something that was somewhat less common for older gaming monitors with fast but generally quite poor-looking TN panels.
Here's where you can add both the headset and gaming monitor to your basket in one fell swoop - just a few scrolls from the top of the page linked above. |I do appreciate some of the little touches here that differentiate a well-designed and modern display - a joypad-based OSD, rather than harder-to-use buttons, fully recyclable packing materials, 100x100 VESA mounting options, a height-adjustable and rotatable desk stand, and two HDMI 2.
Overall, this is a lot of monitor for £160, and well worth considering while it's discounted. The next meaningful upgrade over this would be a 2560x1440 165Hz model at a similar size, and for that you're for a brand-name monitor of similar quality. That's not a massive jump in price, but it's not insignificant either, so both are good options.
