300-nits 45% NTSC and 5060 is not slick at this price. It should be new for this price.
If it had been a 5070 it would've been slick.

Great screen, though I returned my 5090 version after being disappointed with 5090 laptop GPU

The GPU isn't the greatest but the 8940hx is much more powerful than the MC deal by comparison. I suppose it's not the best for gaming but it's a much more powerful than the 225H or various AMD 350 CPUs seen in this type of build

Great screen?? Either you're joking or you're clueless.
This is bottom of the barrel display, 144Hz, 300-nits, 45% NTSC, commonly found on sub-$700-800 gaming laptops.

I see the good Dr upgraded his avatar to next level....

Well looking at this deal, not much of a deal I agree this should be the price for this item brand new and not open box. Also looking at the screen specs very meh for a 2k display. The only deal here is the CPU which probably will get throttled, I have not seen burn in tests to say for sure, and also the ram amount, outside of that everything else is meh.

With the 5090 he had to have been on an Omen Max, I don't think there is an Omen with anything over a 5070 or 5070ti? And in that case he PROBABLY had either a higher end IPS or the OLED... Cause yeah this screen is basically as cheap as they get in this price range.

This would be decent if the screen offered GSync/VRR in GPU only mode. HP always keeps this feature away from laptops that aren't super expensive, when I would argue that feature is very important on laptops where you get framerate variation.
The thing I have noticed with cheaper laptops is that the screen often is the first thing to get a crappy version.

Not to mention, no VRR in nvidia GPU only mode. I know cuz I checked for this at Microcenter on their version of this same laptop.

Don't talk so much sense or else you'd get downvoted too.

Misleading display specs aside (2K is 1200p makes no sense) this is a mixed deal. Being Omen and not Victus with a Ryzen 9 CPU, 32 GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD means it's essentially fully loaded for upgrades.

The 5060 mobile is only 8GB so it will hold it back a bit, and the display while being high-res is not color accurate at 62.5% srgb. I think if it was new or you get a unit that looks like new then it would be a good deal.

Stop calling 1920x1080 "2K". True 2K is double the pixels of 1920x1080. I guess I don't need to point out how to multiply.
