Our Verdict
HP OMEN X 27
HP OMEN 27c
The HP OMEN X 27 and the HP OMEN 27c are part of the same product lineup, and they have many of the same features, like a 240Hz refresh rate, but there are a few differences. They have different panel types, as the X 27 has a TN panel with much better motion handling, while the VA panel on the 27c has better contrast. The X 27 is also better for use in bright rooms because it has better reflection handling, and it gets brighter. While they're each a 27-inch monitor, the 27c has a curved screen while the X 27 is flat, but other than that, there aren't many big differences.
