What's better for graphic work, VA or IPS?
Is Costco listing it as IPS a mistake, or are there different versions? I have an order in but I'd want to cancel if it isn't VA.
In my orders it says "HP Omen 32" QHD IPS Monitor Item #1099832"
I just purchased this monitor for myself from Costco.com. Price was 239.05 with tax and shipping. I am a costco member and used the chat support option on costco.com to obtain a 25$ off coupon code. For 239 bucks, I think this is a pretty good deal, especially with the 'no questions no hassles' return or exchange policy that costco has.
How long after you ordered was it shipped? This is the first thing I've bought from costco.com. It's been 3 business days and it still says "order received" even though they've already charged my card.
edit: Strangely, I just received an email with shipping details.
Hey all, thanks for this thread, I've been eying this monitor for a long time and finally pulled the trigger with the Costco deal.
Right now I'm running with my old GTX 670 until I can upgrade to Vega, and I'm trying to figure out if there's a problem with my monitor or with my GPU/drivers. HDMI works fine, but when I connect via displayport the screen blinks on and off intermittently. Anyone have any ideas how to test or fix that?
I ordered mine EARLY Thursday morning, and it shipped out on Saturday. Was supposed to be delivered today but I got a "delivery exception" and it's being delivered tomorrow. Why do I have the feeling someone dropped my god damned monitor?
Have you tried other DP cables? Sounds like a bad or loose connection on one of the cable ends.
If you don't have another DP cable right now, try holding the cable at the monitor and GPU ends to see if securing the connection does anything.
I went through most of this forum and didn't see or overlooked this.
I've had my monitor for about a year now and I noticed that when I have it on 75 hz via displayport (R9 290) the Color Depth goes to 8, but when I change it to 60hz it allows me to select 10. Is this normal?
Forgive me, I don't know much about monitor specs, but is 8 bit still good at 75hz? Or should I be running at 60hz 10 bit?
...unless you're doing colour-accurate photo-editing work, in which case you could run the monitor at 60 hz to use its 10-bit capability.
Unless you use AMD. I’m fairly sure AMD cards use 10bit at 75hz right?Yeah. The Omen 32 does 10-bit at 60 hz, but does only 8-bit at 75 hz. All games and most content is only 8-bit though, so it doesn't really matter - unless you're doing colour-accurate photo-editing work, in which case you could run the monitor at 60 hz to use its 10-bit capability.
Is anyone happily gaming with this monitor on a RX 580? I currently own a GTX 980 4G which has served me very well for over two years now. But I want to take advantage of freesync. Is a 580 capable of gaming at high quality settings at this resolution? I would buy a Vega, but there are very few to be found, and the ones available are severely over priced. Can the 580 get the job done?

Turn the brightness down to 25 or 30 and see if you still see it. My three omens had no backlight bleed visible to the naked eye at that level and that’s what I used.So I received my Omen 32 this afternoon. I set it up, played with some settings. I am not unhappy with the monitor. Good size, sturdy build. Nice colors, no dead pixels. My one complaint thus far is the monitor I received suffers from some back light bleed through. I bought a VA panel in hopes of avoiding this problem, but here it is. I haven't decided if I should return this and ask for an exchange from Costco. I notice it though, and it's bothering me.

Somethings not rightI'm not sure about this monitor so far. The size is awesome but the colors, brightness, and contrast are amazingly poor compared to the ASUS VG248QE TN panel I have sitting next to it and I can't seem to find any settings that will make it look good. It just looks dull.
Somethings not right
Download the drivers and make sure it’s configured correctly. I have had a lot of monitors. I swap them out every year or so.
The Omen is one if the best pictures I’ve seen in a pc monitor second only slightly to my former Dell 3014.
Perhaps downlod the HP Omen drivers from HP. Make sure you are running the monitor at 10 bit. Set the Black level color space to full on your video card (0-255 instead of limited at 16-255)
If you have Nvidia drivers you might try upping the digital vibrancy to 55% instead of 50% default.
I just received mine and surprised by how poor the black screen is -- there's glow covering practically half of it from the left and right sides. I thought VA wasn't supposed to have glow problems? No backlight bleed, this is the type where if you move your head a little bit the brightness shifts across the screen.
why is VA legendary?
I thought TN was worse... and IPS is still crap anyway because it goes all gray.
The monitors freesync white on screen GUI label isnt tied to freesync actually being on. It always says freesync is on if it’s in gaming feeesync or a custom profile based on gaming freesync. Even with my 1080ti. All three of my omens do that.The monitor shows that Freesync is on and I notice no screen tearing when it's on. I have not tried the windmill demo yet.

You have to enable freesync in the catalyst control panel, and on the monitor. But not really any assurance it’s actually working except no visible artifacts. (And buttery smooth goodness with no tearing )
Don’t forget to set frame rate target control to about 73FPS in the catalyst control panel to avoid using vsynch and still stay in freesync range. Vsync ruins the experience of freesync IMO.
