The best budget HP Omen monitor

25 February 2022

When you’re gaming, your picture quality significantly impacts your ability to play well, which means getting a good monitor is vital.

However, monitors can be just as expensive as your PC’s CPU and GPU, which isn’t ideal.

Thankfully, there are affordable monitors that will comfortably handle your visual needs without breaking the bank – such as the HP Omen 24f.

Priced at R3,499, the HP Omen 24f monitor is ideal if you’ve just built your budget gaming PC and are running low on funds.

The HP 24f is a solid option as an entry-level Monitor.

Specifications

The monitor is a respectable 23.8”, which is more than enough to see what’s happening onscreen and has an HD 1,920 x 1,080 max resolution scale with a 60 Hz refresh rate.

1,920 x 1,080 resolution and 60 Hz is quite adequate for a budget gaming PC as you’ll rarely be able to run current games on higher resolutions.

Likewise, the Monitor also has an anti-glare panel that ensures sunlight will not intrude on your fun and AMD FreeSync technology that synchronises the refresh rate with your GPU – ensuring screen tearing, stuttering, and input lag are no longer a concern.

The HP 24f has a sleek and thin screen that won’t take too much space.

The monitor is also power-efficient, making it a great choice if you’re worried about the electricity bill, with an energy efficiency class A ranking.

If you’re looking for a good budget Monitor, the HP Omen 24f may be for you.
