    HP OMEN 17 in-depth review

    The Omen series always offers gamer-centric devices. Recently, we have reviewed the HP Omen 15 (2021, 15-en1000) and now it's time to see how good is the bigger sibling - the HP Omen 17 (2021, 17-ck0000).In the past few years, HP released some good Omen gaming devices that have some user-accessible tuning options like fan control, CPU undervolting, and even GPU TGP adjustment like the HP Omen 15 (15-dh1000).

Remove the bottom plate Sadly, but the removal of the bottom plate isn't an easy job. Especially if you don't want to cause any visible damage to the notebook's body.

    In addition to receiving efficient and health-friendly profiles, by buying LaptopMedia's products you also support the development of our labs, where we test devices in order to produce the most objective reviews possible.

    Office Work

    Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.

    Design and Gaming

    This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.

    Health-Guard

    Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
