Esports Speed and Visuals

The new OMEN X 27 makes a splash with a Quad HD2 (2560 x 1440) resolution display that showcases stunning high dynamic range and DCI P3 90 per cent colour gamut for an immersive gaming experience. To keep up with the FPS that high-end PCs muster and esports athletes require, the display rocks an industry-leading 240Hz refresh rate1with a 1ms response time and is AMDRadeonFreeSync™2 HDR9certified to ensure the game screen is clean of tearing even when playing games in HDR mode. This ties up with a bold and eye-catching design thanks to three micro-edge bezels, a full metal height adjustable stand and ambient lighting that can be controlled via OMEN Command Center4along with the new patented aim assist feature for a reticle that can be customised by shape and color.

Accessorise with Excellence

The new OMEN Mindframe Prime Headset includes several compelling enhancements. The revolutionary active cooling feature via FrostCap Technology incorporates a passive cooling feature thanks to a newly added graphite heat spreader which takes advantage of the enlarged earpads10. The built-in 7.1 surround sound powered by C-Media Xear™ creates realistic spatial awareness to accurately pinpoint in-game sounds. Added environmental noise cancelling (ENC) microphones block out extra sound in the room so your voice comes through clear in the heat of battle. Lastly, the new OMEN Audio Lab within OMEN Command Center4gives full control of the listening experience with a 10-band equalizer that has a variety of presets, audio level customisation and on/off switches for the 7.1 surround sound and ENC microphones.

With a blue switch mechanical keyboard currently available in the OMEN 1100 Keyboard, the new OMEN Encoder Keyboard will come with both Cherry MX Red and Cherry MX Brown Switches for those who want incredibly fast and smooth operation or something that’s quieter and has a little bump in the travel path. Complete with 100 per cent anti-ghosting with n-key rollover and OMEN Command Center4integration both keyboard options are built to win.

With up to NVIDIA®GeForce®GTX 1660Ti with Max-Q13 design graphics, micro-edge bezels with 144Hz or 60Hz11080p14 display options, immersion is the name of the game.
