HP Omen X 25 240Hz gaming monitor with G-Sync now available

What you need to know

  • HP's Omen X 25 gaming display is now available in G-Sync and FreeSyn certified variants.
  • The display focuses on speed with a 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time.
  • You can pick up the G-Sync certified model and the FreeSync model now. Both are currently on sale, dropping their prices to $450 and $380, respectively.

The Omen X 25, HP's latest gaming monitor, is now available at the company's onine store. You can grab the Omen X 25 in two variants: a G-Sync certified model or a FreeSync model that's G-Sync compatible. They normally cost $550 and $450, respectively, but both are currently on sale for $450 and $380.

No matter which model you pick up, the focus with these displays is being as fast as possible. Each includes a 240Hz TN panel surrounded by three thin bezels. The 24.5-inch display also features a 1ms response time, so fast-twitch games should feel responsive. Both Omen X 25 models keep the resolution pretty manageable at 1920 x 1080, helping to push that 240Hz refresh rate to its peak.

Keep in mind that you'll need a compatible NVIDIA GeForce graphics card to take advantage of G-Sync on either model. Likewise, FreeSync requires a compatible AMD graphics card. Both will help to keep frame pacing smooth and eliminate screen tearing.

Portable (and affordable) power accessories we love

Each and every one of these charging gadgets will keep your favorite gear and gadgets going for longer, and none of them costs more than $30.

VisionTek 8,000 mAh micro-USB power bank ($13 at Dell)

This compact dual-output powerbank can speedily recharge any and all your devices, thanks to a two-amp "fast charge feature," using its micro-USB out port. Its simple design includes an LED indicator, and it costs about as much as a single ticket to the movies.

Panasonic eneloop AA batteries (From $13 at Dell)

Panasonic's rechargeable batteries are among the best available, and just a couple of them will keep your favorite remote, mice or other peripherals powered up when you need them. They're also eco. And the company's affordable charger fits and charges both AA and AAA batteries at the same time.

Belkin Qi Wireless Charging Pad ($30 at Dell)

This unobtrusive Qi wireless charging pad looks good (and kind of like a UFO …) and easily charges all your Qi-compatible device up to 5W. Its LED indicator lights up when you're charging. And it costs just $30.
