HP is stepping into competitive display territory with the new Omen 25, a 24.5-inch Full HD monitor built for high-frame-rate esports. With a 360Hz refresh rate and a 1 ms GtG response, this panel is designed to keep up with pros — and it’s been named the official screen for League of Legends Esports and the Valorant Champions Tour.
Pro-grade speed and picture clarity for competitive play
The Omen 25 uses an IPS panel that pairs extreme refresh rates with accurate color. It carries VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, arrives factory-calibrated, and covers 93% of Display P3 and 99.5% of sRGB — helpful for streamers and content creators who need color fidelity as well as speed. Nvidia G-Sync and VESA AdaptiveSync support reduce tearing and input lag, while VESA ClearMR 6000 certification promises sharper motion with minimal blur.
Ports, ergonomics and console-friendly features
HP didn’t skimp on usability: the four-way adjustable stand offers height, tilt, swivel and pivot adjustments, plus a detachable headset hook and integrated cable management. On the back you’ll find customizable aRGB lighting that ties into Omen Gaming Hub and Windows Dynamic Lighting.
- Inputs: two HDMI 2.0 ports, DisplayPort 1.4, two USB-A 5 Gbps ports, one USB-B upstream, and a 3.5 mm audio jack
- Console support: 4K downscaling for console HDR and more than 140 compatibility tests to ensure smooth gameplay across platforms
Why esports teams and competitive players care
At 360Hz, every frame counts. Lower latency and clearer motion let pro players track fast targets and react faster — a practical difference in LoL and Valorant matches played at the highest level. Being an official display for major circuits signals HP’s intent to be taken seriously in competitive hardware.
Sustainability, box contents and availability
HP is emphasizing sustainability: the Omen 25 enclosure uses 80% post-consumer recycled plastic, 10% recycled metal, and the panel contains 20% recycled glass. Packaging is 100% recyclable. The monitor weighs 14.8 lb with the stand, ships with HDMI and DisplayPort cables, and is covered by HP’s one-year limited warranty.
Pricing is set at $419.99 and HP lists the Omen 25 as expected to go on sale through its website in November. For gamers chasing the competitive edge, it’s a compelling mix of speed, color and pro-grade credentials.

360Hz IPS + HDR400? wild. If that factory calibration really nails 93% P3, streamers win... $419.99 sounds fair but HDMI 2.0 for a 360Hz monitor? hope DP 1.4 is the go-to, curious how it feels in real tourney play
