The 4K 144Hz Omen 32x can stream your gameplay and comes alongside a refreshed lineup of G2 monitors.
HP is stepping up its game in the smart monitor market with the introduction of the Omen 32x Smart Gaming Monitor, a device that merges high-performance gaming features with the convenience of Google TV. Announced at CES 2025, this cutting-edge monitor is set to launch in April for $749.99. It’s not just another gaming monitor—it’s a whole new way to game, stream, and work seamlessly.
A Feature-Packed Display Tailored for Gamers
At its core, the HP Omen 32x is a 31.5-inch 4K IPS display that boasts an impressive 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, ensuring buttery-smooth gameplay and crisp visuals. It’s bright enough to pop with a 400-nit peak brightness and comes with DisplayHDR 400 and Dolby Vision for vibrant colors and deep contrasts. With 95% DCI-P3 and 99% sRGB color gamut coverage, the monitor ensures color accuracy that content creators will appreciate as much as gamers.
For seamless gameplay, it’s equipped with G-Sync and FreeSync Premium support, catering to both NVIDIA and AMD graphics card users. Input options include:
- One DisplayPort 1.4
- Two HDMI 2.1 ports
- A 65W USB-C Power Delivery port with DisplayPort alt mode
- Two USB-A 2.0 ports for peripherals
- 3.5mm audio jack
- Ethernet jack
The monitor’s built-in four 3W speakers provide a solid audio experience, eliminating the immediate need for external speakers.
Google TV Integration: More Than a Gaming Monitor
What truly sets the Omen 32x apart is its Google TV integration, turning this gaming monitor into a full-fledged streaming hub. Familiar to anyone who’s used a Chromecast, Google TV streamer, or supported smart TVs from brands like Sony or Hisense, this feature offers a world of entertainment at your fingertips. From personalized content recommendations to a massive library of apps, the Google TV experience enhances your downtime.
You can also control it hands-free with Google Assistant voice commands, making it easy to search for content or adjust settings. And if you’ve got media on your phone, Google Cast support allows you to seamlessly stream it to the monitor. This integration makes the Omen 32x a more versatile option than other smart monitors like LG’s MyView series or Samsung’s M lineup, which rely on proprietary operating systems that prioritize productivity over entertainment.
Unique Features That Redefine Versatility
HP hasn’t stopped at Google TV. The Omen 32x introduces innovative features that elevate it beyond the competition:
- Native Multistreaming: Stream your content to up to four platforms simultaneously (including Twitch, YouTube, and Instagram) without needing extra hardware. You can also integrate up to two webcam feeds alongside your screen, making it ideal for creators and streamers.
- Android Desktop Mode: Mirror your Android smartphone onto the monitor and use it in desktop mode. This opens up new multitasking possibilities, letting you game while managing mobile tasks in a multiview window.
- Wireless KVM Functionality: Control multiple devices using a single keyboard and mouse, making it easy to switch between your gaming PC, streaming setup, or even your smartphone.
