I have an HP Omen desktop that I use for Steam gaming and a Mac mini for my daily driver desktop at home. The monitor I had before was an older Asus 21.5 monitor - nothing wrong with it, but noticed image quality issues when trying to play games like Doom 4 or Lords of Shadow 2. I know my Asus monitor wasn't built for gaming, so I didn't mind. I had my eye on the HP Omen 32" monitor - but when I measured my desk space, it would've eaten up almost all of my desk. So I was pretty happy to see that HP had a smaller 25" option available at a better entry price point. I was also excited to see that the monitor supported dual HDMI and a DisplayPort connection - now I could connect both my Mac mini and work laptop to HDMI and use the DisplayPort for my Omen desktop to take advantage of the 144Hz refresh rate. If you're like me, and your wife is always telling you to turn down the sound because you'll wake the kiddos - you'll be happy to know there's an aux audio output jack on the side of the monitor for easy access to connect your headphones. Setting up the monitor was a piece of cake - my only gripe is you have the nice big screen that connects to the base with a single connection in the middle of the back - and it's a vertical connection, so the monitor easily rocks from side to side if nudged. I don't make a habit of hitting my monitor, so it wasn't really an issue, but my older Asus had a more secure connection between the monitor and the base. The monitor also comes with a cable management bracket for the back to keep the cord clutter to a minimum - not ground breaking or anything, but certainly a nice addition. Once I had it up and running, I noticed I had to do some slight tweaking to the color, contrast, etc to get it just right for the lighting and layout around my desk. The Omen desktop popped and colors looked so much more vibrant and the higher refresh rate meant I could mow down demons without worrying about image ghosting or frame rate issues. The Mac mini on the other hand was noticeably more challenging to get right. I was expecting some slight tweaking between the two, but it almost seems that Windows 10 seems to adjust to the monitor better than OS X - and I didn't even use the software that HP includes. You might want to install it if you want to customize your monitor further. I'm the type that will install additional software as a last resort. The monitor also supports auto-wake based on input. If I start tapping on my Mac keyboard, OS X pops up on the screen - and vice versa with Windows 10. If you're in the market for a decent monitor to handle some gaming without breaking the bank and you don't want a behemoth screen, then you should check this out. I've been really happy with it so far, that I'm contemplating getting another one to set up a dual screen situation for gaming.
