RTINGS test 240Hz HP Omen X 25f - Lowest input lag yet
Posted: 23 Jul 2019, 10:40
RTINGS have just released their test of the HP Omen X 25f. The first review of the monitor that I've seen.

It has the lowest input lag that they've ever tested (although this is only their second 240 Hz monitor). Coming in at only 2.6 ms. 1.1 ms less than the BenQ XL2540. Based on their specific testing setup, I'd estimate that averages below ~1.7 ms should actually be impossible with a 240 Hz monitor. They don't even say if they subtract some time for the lag introduced by using the USB connection in their test. If they do not, then the real lag is even lower.
The Overdrive seems to be tuned really well too. It is Freesync compatible and NVIDIA GSync certified. I'd assume that this also means it won't have any frame skipping issues. Based on this test, it seems like it does everything that a competitive gamer would want except for strobing.
What do you guys think? There is a store that offers it for 380€ in Germany. I'd have to drive 100 km, but my university train ticket allows me to drive there for free. I'm considering it at the moment
