Nice membrane keyboard
on May 7, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great RBG against the white “plate” beneath the keys. The white really helps the colors look clear and vibrant.
As with some other Razer products, the lighting can change based on the games you play. For example, in Overwatch, the colors will change based on which character I pick. The movement and ability keys are automatically set to different colors so you can see them, and the LED on certain ability keys will blink to indicate that the ability is on a cooldown. Not entirely helpful because you’re primarily looking at the monitor when playing a game, so these features may go unnoticed most of the time, but it is pretty neat. Very interactive.
If you’re a mechanical keyboard fan, this board might not be for you. The key feel is very obviously membrane, but I enjoy the tactility regardless (and I think I prefer the feel more than the Hako Royal Trues I have on one of my custom boards).
No customization options whatsoever, unless I’m missing something. USB cable is NOT removable, but there are cable gutters on the bottom to route the wire whichever way you want.
Cannot use the Razer PBT keycap upgrade, which is fine for me because I prefer ABS plastic. I read online that removing these keycaps is not recommended and can damage the board because they are not the same kind of mount as other Razer boards and are not designed to be removed. I would like to be proven wrong, but I’m not willing to damage the board to find out. (When it comes to cleaning, just use compressed air to blow away any debris while holding the board upside down.)
Squeaky spacebar. Only when I press it on the right side. Since the keycaps cannot be removed, and further customization is not really in the board’s design, I cannot fix the bad stabilizer in the spacebar. I hope the squeak goes away over time.
Overall, I like this keyboard. I’ve wanted it for months despite working on custom mechanical projects, and I finally got it. It doesn’t blow me away or anything—it’s just a decent board that I was drawn to because of the key feel. It’s a good membrane board. It’s got a lot of features. Read up on what it can do.

Been using and renewing for several years on many devices. Haven't had any problems, but to be honest I don't really do anything that would get my devices into trouble anyway. The scans are super easy—they run automatically every so often, but I can always manually start one if I feel the need to. It's also nice to see the Webroot Threat Shield green checkmark next to safe/trustworthy links in my search results.

I love being able to choose different characters, and I love all the new content I'll get to see for the BotW characters. I haven't gotten far in it yet, but learning the special moves and fighting the different enemies has been fun.

My first monitor; love it!
on January 22, 2021
Posted by: AnneliseV
Verified Purchase:Yes
My first monitor. Paired with my new PC running Ryzen 5 3600 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super. Clearest gaming experience I’ve ever had.
Monitor worked right out the box. Didn’t have to do much setup aside from my brightness preferences.
Comes with blue light filter options built into the settings.
The stand is sturdy with metal construction.
You can rotate the screen, angle it in any direction, raise it, lower it—very versatile.
The built-in speakers work fine, but the quality is not the best (which is to be expected). This is not anything negative about the monitor, really; the fact that it has its own speakers is great considering it’s more of a budget-friendly monitor.
One thing I can’t figure out is that a horizontal “wave” would occasionally travel vertically across the screen sometimes when playing certain graphics/animations in games like Overwatch (on highest settings) and I think also in Shadow of the Tomb Raider (on highest settings). Not sure if this is an issue with the monitor or if it’s an issue with the graphics card or game compatibility. But it’s not too big of an issue, and I haven’t noticed it happening lately.
For the price and all the features (and the size!), I’m glad I purchased this monitor when it was on sale. I would recommend it.

Tap this Nintendo Mipha amiibo, and receive exciting in-game extras when you play Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The collectible figurine looks great on a shelf, but it holds exciting secrets when you use it in the game. This Nintendo Mipha amiibo figure is a replica of the battle-worthy Zora Champion.

Purchased as a gift for my little sister. Mipha is her favorite champion in the game. She loves this amiibo very much and has already used it. The rewards it grants you are Zora themed and great for her. The detail is nice. I have the Lady Urbosa one, and the quality and usability is consistent.

What I've been wanting for a long time!
on December 18, 2020
Posted by: AnneliseV
Verified Purchase:Yes
My point of view is that of someone who has been gaming on a notebook laptop with integrated graphics, A.K.A. not a gaming computer. I longed for an upgrade so I could actually *see* the characters in my games, or all the details I was missing while running games on low graphics settings. Very satisfied with the HP OMEN 30L!
PROS: price, upgradability, quality, design, performance, storage, graphics, size, accessibility, many ports and inputs/outputs, accommodates several display types
CONS: temperature control, fans can get loud (but you can add more fans to reduce the workload!)
OVERALL: This desktop was so much more of an upgrade than I imagined it would be. The graphics are beautiful. There is plenty of storage space with the SSD and the HDD. There is room for upgrades on pretty much every component, though I'm not 100% sure about the motherboard. The design is very streamlined, and the RGB options are more classic and minimalist (which I love!) as opposed to some of the more flashy prebuilts on the market. It runs well, and I think it is the right choice for someone who is on a tighter gaming budget and doesn’t need “the best” specs. Much more detail below.
GRAPHICS: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER. Not top of the line, but darn good! A brief example of how well it performs: I play Overwatch on Epic settings (the highest settings the game offers), and it blew my mind with how clear and vivid everything is. The game performs great. Oh, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Looks so good and plays so well!
COOLING: It comes with a couple of case fans pre-installed with room for more if you want to buy an extra and add it yourself. You may need it, depending on what you use this PC for, because the CPU and GPU do seem to hit kinda high average temperatures while gaming. The fans can get loud and will sometimes make a high-pitched noise when at high power. So, I might invest in an extra fan to combat that.
CASE: It's about an inch or so smaller in width than most, if not all, cases I saw when I was thinking of building my own PC. I needed something a little more sleek, and while this is still a big tower, it gives me that bit of extra room I needed. Cable management is just so clean and tidy. There is a little spot at the bottom right with nothing there, so I placed a miniature Funko figure there. 3 LED RGB areas on the case: strip along the top inside, diamond on top front, circle on bottom front. Each one is independently controlled in the OMEN Command Center, and there are a number of effects and colors to choose from.
MEMORY/RAM: It only has 8GB, which is not a lot if you want to game and stream at the same time or generally multitask with demanding programs. It's plenty if you just want to play a game and maybe have a web browser or Discord open at the same time as the game. You can expand it up to 32GB, I believe, as it has two memory slots that can accept RAM sticks up to 16GB each. I chose to upgrade the RAM, and it was easy. I purchased the exact model that comes pre-installed, except I chose non-RGB to save a few bucks. The issue with this upgrade is that they will no longer run at the full 3200MHz, defaulting to lower speeds. This can be fixed by overclocking, but that will void the PC’s warranty. I did not want to take that risk, so I’m using this PC just fine with the 16GB RAM at a slightly lower speed (I don’t even know how the speed affects performance… I’m no expert lol). It's a matter of balance and what you are willing to do.
MOTHERBOARD: I don’t understand motherboards all that much, but I do know that this one has many options for USB devices and different kinds of displays. It’s HP’s own Moria 3 motherboard and you can find out more info straight from them.
Bottom line: I almost bought a more expensive desktop with Ryzen 7 and RTX 2060 because I was afraid I wouldn't be getting the full experience with these lower specs. I was wrong to assume that, and I am glad I chose to buy this one instead. I saved money, and I get to have a powerful PC for my games.

I'm new to pc's. Umm, so the $1,250 30l and this $950 30l. Can this one upgrade to where it can have the same things as the higher one has? Like the porcessor, ram, etc...?

My plan is to get the same exact stick that comes with the pc and run two 8GB sticks but my question is could I add one more of the same RAM stick to the omen and where could I buy that model if it can work with two Hyper X RAM
This OMEN model has only two RAM slots, so you can buy one extra stick to add to the one that comes pre-installed. You'll want to look for HyperX FURY 8GB 288-pin DDR4 3200. The exact model number is HX432C16FB3A/8, but you can also save a couple dollars by getting the non-RGB version HX432C16FB3/8. I purchased mine from Newegg because Best Buy only offers these in kits of two.

WHY DID THE PRICES CHANGE 350 DOLLARS AINT MO WAY IM BUYING IT ANYMORE
Are you looking at the HP OMEN 30L with Ryzen 7 and RTX 2060 by mistake? That one is $300 more than this one, which has Ryzen 5 and GTX 1660 SUPER. The prices for both of these PCs have not changed for a few months, at least on my end. I added the $300 cheaper model as a recommendation on this answer. I hope this helps!
