I Love This Ultrawide Gaming Monitor! HP Omen 34c Review

The HP Omen 34c is a 34" curved 165Hz 1440p VA ultrawide gaming monitor. Find out how it performs by watching my detailed review!

Alternatives to consider:
HP X34: Its IPS sibling

Acer Nitro XV340CKP: Another impressive IPS ultrawide

AOC CU34G2X: Cheaper VA alternative

iiyama GB3467WQSU-B1: Fast-paced VA

BenQ Mobiuz EX3415R: Curved ultrawide with good speakers

AOC AG493UCX: An inexpensive 49" UW

Samsung Odyssey G9: Best 49" ultrawide

Philips Evnia 34M2C8600: My favourite ultrawide monitor (much more expensive due to OLED tech)

Just picked this up, its actually really crisp waaaay better than i was expecting. Will do nicely until the oled's come down a bit :D

Thank you for the color gamut and calibration coverage! This is currently on sale at best but in the states for 299.

I do programming with this monitor and it’s amazing!

[ciuhatangela]

Great video !

I have ordered mine it's coming in 2 days. Ill take ur advice on the settings, i am having nvidia 3080 ti version, and ill set the monitor to gaming mode, level 3 overdrive and mprt to level 2 since g sync won't work.

Thanks a million for this review it's definitely the most explanatory video on omen 34c thats on youtube.

This monitor is fantastic. The only good widescreen monitor under £400. The rest don't come close

Thank you for a thorough and honest review! I ended up buying this ultrawide monitor (mainly for productivity). I bought it for $349.99 USD since it was on sale at Best Buy. No way would I buy this monitor at full price (which is a whopping $479.99 USD!). And unfortunately, I too was unable to get Adaptive Freesync or Gsync to work properly with my 4090 (it just adds insane flickering even with the framerate capped). Aside from that, great monitor as long as my expectations are realistic.

[nejc]

does this monitor have a built in speaker?

[klenkam]

This and the LG 34wp65c are both on sale at best buy right now. I can't decide which one!

[SatorruGojo]

i have the Hp Omen 32c Gaming monitor what settings would u run on this monitor response time and everything really and would u use adaptive sync?

[Poxckers]

Is there a possible fix for the Freesync to Nvidia GPU Flickering issue? I bought it yesterday and it's very prominent.

[wiking]

How well PiP and PbP works on this model?

Hello, thanks for review. Also, I saw your review of the AOC CU34G2XP. How you think, which one is better for gaming, productivity, and viewing angles?

[Coasters_n_more]

hi i recently got this monitor and was fine to begin with but after only a few hours it gained some serious ghosting. I have tried to fix it and it seems to be some sort of 'overdrive overshoot' but i do not understand it very well, does anyone hhave ideas as i suppose most people hhere will have this monitor or maybe some knowledge on it?

[LUPNtv]

Bought it 1 week ago, and selling it now, response time and motion calarity is bad. Gsync doesnt work with mprt settings. Totally disappointed of it performance, previously used Gigabyte G34wqca which had better motion response time in my opinion, now switching to a regular 27inch 1440p 360hz, Btw I bought this hp monitor after watching ur review.

[Adadan]

For RPG gaming its not to wide ? Really thinkin to buy it. How is contrast ? I was lookin at AOC Gaming AGON CU34G2XP, do no what to choose.

[FastLikePuma]

i had the omen IPS 27 froma few years back and just swapped them for the qhd 27s, handing one away so Im looking at this. My major hang up os the gsync compatibility.

[johnrambo]

So With HDMI you don't get the 165Hz? and does this monitor come with the display port cables for 165Hz?

[ysf]

@6:12 ..mini led structure on OLED technology? lol what?

[ldotj]

I've just purchased this monitor and I'm running it with my xbox series x but in struggle with the settings, I can't get it to run 1440p with 120hz, it only allows 60hz at 1080p, can anyone help?
