Gam­ing has beco­me a glo­bal phe­no­me­non with 2.3 bil­li­on peo­p­le play­ing games around the world. Their desi­re to excel in the games they play encom­pas­ses more than just the machi­ne they play on and loo­king for an edge is more com­mon­place than ever befo­re. Thir­ty-eight per­cent of gamers are moti­va­ted by the abili­ty to mas­ter a game and thir­ty-five per­cent are focu­sed on com­pe­ti­ti­on and advan­cing their game­play³. With the intro­duc­tion of Coa­ching, Rewards, and new OMEN Com­mand Cen­ter⁴ gam­ing ser­vices, play­ers never stop impro­ving and per­form at their best.

Bey­ond powerful gam­ing soft­ware and ser­vices, HP is announ­cing new dis­plays and access­ories inclu­ding the esports rea­dy OMEN X 27 Dis­play, OMEN Mind­frame Prime Head­set, OMEN Enco­der Key­board and a varie­ty of soft goods from the gro­wing OMEN Tran­s­cep­tor line of access­ories. Pavi­li­on Gam­ing also makes its mark with the DIY fri­end­ly Pavi­li­on Gam­ing Desk­top, Pavi­li­on Gam­ing Key­board 800 and HP’s first AMD powered CPU for a gam­ing lap­top in the Pavi­li­on Gam­ing 15. This port­fo­lio is roun­ded out with the HP 22x and HP 24x dis­plays, ide­al for gamers loo­king for qua­li­ty while on a budget.

“OMEN is a com­mu­ni­ty inclu­si­ve brand com­mit­ted to buil­ding a world-class eco­sys­tem of the best hard­ware, soft­ware, con­tent, and ser­vices,” said Kevin Frost, vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Con­su­mer Per­so­nal Sys­tems, HP Inc. “With the latest soft­ware and hard­ware addi­ti­ons, inclu­ding OMEN Com­mand Cen­ter, OMEN X 27 and the Pavi­li­on Gam­ing Desk­top, HP is enri­ching gam­ing expe­ri­en­ces while hel­ping gamers advan­ce their skills and never stop improving.”

 

Dri­ving Gamers Forward

OMEN Com­mand Cen­ter⁴ — which is available for any Win­dows 10 PC via the Win­dows Store — is leve­ling up with a host of powerful new fea­tures desi­gned to make it a cen­tral gam­ing hub.

• With Rewards Beta⁵ (powered by Ver­sus Sys­tems) laun­ching in the U.S., gamers can earn pri­zes play­ing the games they love, while impro­ving their skills and com­pe­ting with others.
• Coa­ching⁶ arri­ves for OMEN PCs with initi­al sup­port for League of Legends and more games on the road­map. This AI-based tool (powered by Moba­ly­tics) ana­ly­zes game­play and pro­vi­des key insights into strengths and weak­ne­s­ses to impro­ve play­er performance.
• With My Games⁷, gamers can mana­ge their devices and access their game libra­ri­es from one cen­tral loca­ti­on, pro­vi­ding quick and easy access to their favo­ri­te games. Includes real time moni­to­ring of game­play to keep track of how many hours spent on spe­ci­fic titles along with weekly insights.
• The new Pro­files⁸ fea­ture allows the crea­ti­on of mood, acti­vi­ty, or game-based pro­files for OMEN PCs and access­ories and includes sup­port for the OMEN Sequen­cer Key­board and OMEN Pho­ton Mou­se.

 

Esports Speeds 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 per­cent color gamut¹ 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 rate¹ with a 1ms respon­se time¹ and is AMD Rade­on Free­Sync™ 2 HDR⁹ cer­ti­fied 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 Cen­ter⁴ along with the new paten­ted aim assist fea­ture for a retic­le that can be cus­to­mi­zed by shape and color.

 

Acces­so­ri­ze 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 Cen­ter⁴ gives full con­trol of the lis­tening expe­ri­ence with a 10-band equa­li­zer that has a varie­ty of pre­sets, audio level cus­to­miza­ti­on 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 per­cent anti-ghos­ting with n‑key roll­over and OMEN Com­mand Cen­ter⁴ inte­gra­ti­on both key­board opti­ons are built to win.

 

Tra­vel and Game in Style

Pro­vi­ding high qua­li­ty life­style pro­ducts is a con­stant focus for OMEN and has been show­ca­sed recent­ly with OMEN Appa­rel and the ori­gi­nal OMEN X Tran­s­cep­tor back­pack. The Tran­s­cep­tor line from OMEN con­ti­nues this trend with the new addi­ti­ons of the OMEN Tran­s­cep­tor 17.3” Duf­fel Bag, 15” Roll­top Back­pack, 15” Back­pack to pro­vi­de a wide varie­ty of tra­ve­ling opti­ons. This is top­ped off with the OMEN Tran­s­cep­tor Head­set Case, which matches up with the new OMEN Mind­frame Prime Headset.

 

Excep­tio­nal Main­stream Gaming

The Pavi­li­on Gam­ing Desk­top makes expan­da­bili­ty a clear empha­sis within a new space-saving 15L design. This design includes expan­si­on slots for up to three sto­rage dri­ves¹¹ and DIY upgrada­bili­ty for memo­ry, gra­phics cards, net­works cards and Wi-Fi cards. CPU opti­ons of up to 9^th Gen Intel i7 8‑core¹² or 3^rd Gen, AMD Ryzen™ 7 8‑core¹² pro­ces­sors, gra­phics of up to NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2070 and latest RTX 2060 SUPER™, and up to 32GB DDR4 memo­ry yield the power nee­ded for the latest games or crea­ti­ve projects.

The latest Pavi­li­on Gam­ing 15 is the first AMD CPU gam­ing lap­top from HP and fea­tures up to Ryzen™ 7 pro­ces­sor¹² within a bold angu­lar black chas­sis. With up to NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1660Ti with Max‑Q¹³ design gra­phics, micro-edge bezels with 144Hz or 60Hz¹ 1080p¹⁴ dis­play opti­ons, immersi­on is the name of the game. Dual fan, wide rear cor­ner vent, and enlar­ged air inlets maxi­mi­ze air­flow to opti­mi­ze over­all per­for­mance, while kee­ping the machi­ne cool during exten­ded usa­ge. Built for depen­da­ble game ses­si­ons, con­tent crea­ti­on, and out­fit­ted with a Wi-Fi 5 opti­on sup­port­ing Giga­byte speeds, this high­ly por­ta­ble lap­top is built for work and play.

No desk­top is com­ple­te wit­hout a key­board and the Pavi­li­on Gam­ing Key­board 800 fea­tures quiet, yet quick red mecha­ni­cal swit­ches com­ple­te with 100 per­cent anti-ghos­ting with n‑key roll­over, a com­for­ta­ble detacha­ble wrist rest and four-zone LED light­ing with on-the-fly back­lit modes.

The­se addi­ti­ons to the Pavi­li­on Gam­ing eco­sys­tem pair bril­li­ant­ly with the new HP 22x and HP 24x gam­ing dis­plays. Both come with a spee­dy 144Hz refresh rate¹ and 1ms respon­se time¹, AMD Rade­on™ Free­Sync™ tech­no­lo­gy⁹, high-qua­li­ty inte­gra­ted spea­k­ers and adjus­ta­ble stands. The HP 24x fea­tures G‑SYNC® Com­pa­ti­ble¹⁵ and micro-bezels for a tru­ly immersi­ve gam­ing experience.
