Gorgeous. Get the drivers + make sure to use DisplayPort for highest refresh rates
I’ve been using 2 HP 32 inch QHD monitors for the past ~8 years.The HP W9S97AA#ABA Omen, and a very similar (exact same looking) Pavilion version. The (old) Omen has 75 Hz refresh, the Pavilion has 60 Hz. They both still work, and I’ve used them on a daily basis, often 14+ hours per day. They’ve been great for work (programming mostly) and for play. They’re both VA panels, which I think were pretty new at the time (~2017).Because I had such a great experience with HP monitors, I decided to look to HP first when I went to update my setup. I recently wanted to pick up a newer monitor (mostly to see if they’re any better) and I really wanted to try an IPS. Thankfully, HP is making this Omen 32Q, with insane refresh rates and response times (by contrast, my old Omen tops out at 75 Hz refresh, and has a 5 ms response time).The difference between this monitor and my old Omen is almost night and day. Colors pop, and darks / blacks are so much deeper. It’s insanely noticeable, especially with the new monitor running alongside one of my older ones.Granted, the VA technology I’ve had was a little older, but everything comparatively just looked a little more washed out. With the 32Q IPS screen, everything just pops.Cons:It’s unfortunate that the HP Omen Gaming App (apparently has some software for changing the monitor settings) is ONLY available through the Microsoft Store. I can never get things to download correctly from the MS Store, they just sit there and spin for 6 hours until I force quit the app.The monitor has made it through some marathon playtesting with media, BUT while watching videos on Amazon Prime, the entire display will black out every 5 – 15 minutes, for about 10 seconds each time. Almost like it’s going into some sort of power saving mode. My other displays have not been doing this.Not yet sure what the problem is, but I have installed the drivers from HP’s website.Still trying to figure out how to get the MS Store to function, then I’ll see if the HP Omen app thing makes any difference.*** This COULD be because I’m trying to run at 144 Hz over HDMI. (I think the official spec tops out at 120 Hz, so I’ll either try that and / or switch to DisplayPort).Overall:If you’re on the fence, get this monitor.If it lasts anywhere near as long as its predecessors, then it’s about the best investment you can make for whatever your setup is. (By comparison, the only other mainstream 32 inch QHD IPS monitor I’d trust right now is probably the Samsung Odyssey G50D. Newer VA panels might be better nowadays as well, not sure).

Great for XSX!
I bought this and an LG Ultra Gear. The Ultragear kept having issues to hit 1440p 120hz with the Xbox. I had absolutely NO issues with the HP Omen! This thing is absolutely stunning and incredibly BRIGHT! It’s much brighter than the top of the line Lg counterpart.The base of it is rather larger. I think the photos on this listing do it disservice because they’re angled in a way that makes it look smaller. I ended up buying a monitor mount to replace the base/stand.I have AMD Free Sync turned on and it’s consistently hitting 1440p 120hz on Remnant, Dark Souls, Dead Space, and AC Mirage.

IPS > VA (for PS5 use)
I come from using a VA panel monitor and with the same characteristics of this HP and the difference is amazing, I can say for the PS5 console, the IPS panel option is better and this HP Omen is a very good option for the price
