Our Verdict
HP OMEN 27i
HP OMEN 27qs
The HP OMEN 27qs is a newer and higher-end monitor than the HP OMEN 27i, so there are a few differences. The 27qs has a higher 240Hz refresh rate and much better motion handling for a smoother feel. The 27qs also has better picture quality with higher peak brightness and improved color accuracy, and it even supports HDR, which the 27i doesn't, but it has limited HDR performance anyway.
