A favorite gaming monitor among ozbargainers. Has previously been on special at this price.
Make sure you enter HPJUL20 code to get it for $279.20. I just picked one up. Ebay store is saying not much stock left so be quick.
In fact, ebay has 20% off Storewide at HP.

From my last post. You cant control what you get but many got the LG one.
If the revision starts with l then its lg. If it starts with b than its boe.
Good to hear you are happy with the monitor. I will be using it with my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro gaming laptop. I've never had an external gaming monitor. What is the best way to connect it to my laptop if it doesnt have display port? Only has HDMI and USB-C. I am just unsure what is the best cable to buy to ensure I get the best experience from the monitor, as I know that the HDMI port alone is not good enough. Thanks.
It still does work but not up to 165hz. Maybe USBC to display port or USBC directly into the monitor if it supports that
Hdmi is fine but Max Refresh Rate Over HDMI 144 Hz. Its not a deal breaker imo.
In order to attain 165hz, I'd need to use the monitors display port, and then connect to my laptops usb-c port. What am I looking for when buying that cable. Noob here sorry. All of the hz talk gives me a headache when it starts mentioned 4k, 8k, 2k etc.
@chugsta: Your usb-c port has to support a thing called "DisplayPort over USB-C". If it does then you can buy something like this https://www.amazon.com.au/UGREEN-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Alu…
I bought this exact monitor in May, and then ordered that exact cable to connect my Lenovo Legion slim 5 14 to the monitor. Works perfect, 165hz is available.
@random-userr: Here is a review of my laptop.
https://www.ign.com/articles/lenovo-legion-5-pro-review
Ports: 1 x Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C, DisplayPort 1.4), 2 x USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2, DisplayPort 1.4), 3 x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, 1 x e-Shutter switch, 1 x 3.5mm headphone/mic combo, 1 x HDMI, 1 x RJ45
USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 with DisplayPort 1.4 support
Would that cable you mentioned still be suitable for me to connect to this HP OMEN monitor?
This model is FHD.
Thanks op. Was looking for a sensibly priced monitor.
Is this any good for PS5 and Series X? Thinking of upgrading the kid's monitors to either 1440p high refresh rate or 4k 60Hz.
I believe generally speaking 1440p is enough for 27" and 4k is required at 32"
Depending what the kids play high refresh rate beats out higher resolution for me personally. Games like Fortnite, Rocket League, most other shooters are so much more appealing on a higher refresh rate, once you go back to 60hz from 120hz it's takes quite some time to adjust, but personal preference is key here

Looks like out of stock now. Hoping for a restock as I need to buy 2.
Phew.. saved a few bucks. Was sitting on this for a while in my cart and then it went OOS.
OOS while I'm paying….
I got one last time with the discounted ebay (techswap) gift card through shopback. Fantastic monitor. You can get either BOE or Lg panel. I got the lg one.
