Web ID: 18791008Beautiful monitor with a minor operating quirk
Very happy with new monitor now that I have learned one of its quirks. Unpacking and setup were easy. Monitor performance is as expected - very large and clear. However, monitor has one quirk. When I used my HP desktop and prior HP monitor, I would turn on the surge protector and both the units would be powered. I would then press the button on the desktop to turn it on and the monitor (which was always switched on, waiting for power) would see the signal from the desktop, recognize the computer signal and I could go to work. I assumed the OMEN would work the same way. After I replaced my old HP monitor with the OMEN and turned on the surge protector, the monitor powered up, displayed a large blue block consisting of 4 smaller blue blocks and froze. When I turned on the desktop, the OMEN monitor did not recognize the computer signal. I now do the following: At the end of any work session, I turn off the OMEN using the switch on the back of the unit after shutting down the desktop. The next time I want to use the system, I turn on the power at the surge protector, turn on the desktop and then turn on the OMEN using the switch on the back of the unit. The monitor then "sees" the desktop signal and functions normally. If you have any idea why this is happening, please let me know as I don't believe that this is normal behavior.

Great Color and Performance
I love the size and the 165 MHz refresh rate is wonderful. The color out of the box using standard mode is great. It also upscales 1080p wonderfully. I think it's a wonderful monitor.

Nice Monitor
Nice monitor. It is heavy. The brightness setting is at 50% and that is plenty...a great feature.

Good specs, dead pixel
Nice monitor. Good pixel density. Already have a dead pixel within a week of owning so that really sucks
