This looks to be a good deal, but that hinge on the Omen laptops always bothers me. Makes me feel like the lid will eventually warp from all the opening and closing, unless you open it from the middle. Can any Omen users shed some light on the matter?

It is pretty stiff and there is no such issues reported in the last 1 year, considering the release date of this design, 2019 mid.
Not sure if HP has changed the internal design. However, the 2019 model also does not suffer from Heat problem like the 2018 model. OwnorDisOwn reviewed this 2019 model and he said that is pretty good.
I got this same laptop but with a Nvidia 2060. It came with a 200w power adapter which gets really hot when gaming, scalding hot. I went ahead and bought the 330w adapter and have no heat issues. The morale is, if this laptop comes with a 200w adapter just go ahead and get the 330w

How the Power Adapter can make the Laptop cool? 330W is a way over than this hardware required? Most of the RTX 2060 Laptops actually come with 180W Adapter. I don't think that 200W Adapter has anything to do with the high temp. What possibly happened is that 200W Adapter was faulty. 330W is way higher and even RTX 2080 SUPER laptops don't come with that.

I think that they're talking just about the power adapter being hot, not that the power adapter makes the laptop hot.

It's not cooling the laptop, the laptop never had a heat issue. When I start gaming the power adapter (black box) gets scalding hot, enough I thought it would cause a fire. I had it replaced, via the warranty, and still the same thing. I talked to HP and they stated that my laptop can take the hp omen x 330w. I also read the documentation for my laptop and it states that there as well.
More power equals cooler adapter since it isn't pushing the limits when gaming. You know, like how desktop power adapters have to be a certain wattage for the gpu. To me it's like HP only gave the bare minimum for the gpu which could cause issues down the road with the base power adapter.
I did a bunch of research before buying the new adapter, I don't believe I am talking out of my ass here but hey, I could be wrong.

Its more of the fact that the bigger powerbrick is rated to handle and cool up to 330w, but your computer is drawing less. therefore stays cooler because the brick can dissipate the heat.
All companies try to min max the components so if it actually is compatible, other than its probably being bigger, its a good choice.

This is the older 2019 model. The new 2020 model gets rid of the hinge-in-the-middle design. You can also tell by the new, swanky blue Omen diamond on the cover for the new 2020 models.
Thoughts on getting this with the oled screen for $1600?
Pretty good in my opinion, if you are planning to use it for watching High resolution movies and creative works like Photo and Video editing, design works etc. That display is a 60 Hz display and not good for gaming.
