HP Omen 16 (2022) review: Sleek gaming laptop with high-resolution 165 Hz display

Enough power for 2560x1440. After years of 15- and 17-inch displays dominating the gaming scene, more and more 16-inch devices are entering the market. One of the best examples of this is the new version of the HP Omen 16 with an Alder Lake CPU and an Ampere GPU.

Those looking for a powerful gaming notebook in the price range of around 2,000 Euros may already have come across the Omen 16-b1090ng. HP not only packs an lightning-fast Intel Core i7-12700H into the beautifully designed 16-incher, but also a brand-new GeForce RTX 3070 Ti with 8 GB VRAM. This is further accompanied by 32 GB of DDR5 RAM (2x16 GB) and a 1 TB NVMe SSD in M.2 format.  A matte IPS panel with 2560x1440 pixels and 165 Hz is used as the display. HP has chosen Windows 11 Home as the operating system.

Display

Like the 144 Hz panel of the old Omen 16, the built-in 165 Hz panel with the identifier BOE09E5 makes a good impression. In addition to the brightness (319 cd/m² on average), the contrast ratio (1196:1) is also satisfactory.

* ... smaller is better

The same applies to the color space, which is just under 100% sRGB. HP could improve the color accuracy a little. Upon delivery, the display has a certain green tint, but this can be corrected by calibration (our ICC file is linked next to the illumination graphic).

Thanks to its matte finish and solid illumination, the Omen 16 doesn't shy away from brighter environments.

Also deserving of praise are the relatively good response times and the good viewing angle stability - as you would expect from IPS panels.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
9.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 4.4 ms rise
↘ 5 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 20 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
14.5 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 7.2 ms rise
↘ 7.3 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 23 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18099 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Perfomance

In the current configuration, the Omen 16 falls into the high-end range. The well-balanced components should provide enough power for all possible application scenarios in the coming years.

The pre-installed Omen Gaming Hub lets buyers play around with various aspects of the system. Particularly relevant is the Power Control menu, which contains two power modes. Apart from the battery measurements, all tests were conducted with the Performance profile (automatic heat control).

Processor

The Core i7-12700H is a 14-core processor from Intel's Alder Lake series, which houses 6 performance cores (including Hyper-Threading) and 8 efficiency cores (without HT). The 10 nm model also boasts a 24 MB L3 cache.

The new CPU has an easy game against the Core i7-11800H of the predecessor, which "only" offers 8 cores. According to the performance analysis, the increased advantage is around 26%. However, the CPU performance of the i7-12700H drops somewhat after a while, as our Cinebench loop shows. Overall, the CPU speed is similar to the MSI GS66 Stealth, which is equipped with the same CPU. The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro performs slightly better and the Aorus 17 slightly worse.

DPC Latencies

As is so often the case, the latencies leave something to be desired. The LatencyMon tool sees room for improvement here, with some competitors achieving far worse values.

Storage Devices

An NVMe SSD from Western Digital (PC SN810 model) with 1 TB of storage space serves as the mass storage here. The M.2 drive cannot quite match the SSDs of the competition in the benchmarks, but compared to the old Omen 16, a large increase in speed is noticeable. One downside: The performance of the SSD tends to fluctuate or collapse under prolonged use (see performance graph).

HP Omen 16-b1090ng: Ø6496 (1637.54-6888.72)

GPU

With the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, Nvidia has provided a somewhat stronger version of the GeForce RTX 3070. Once again, this offers 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, but 5,888 instead of 5,120 shader units, which promises a certain performance boost. However, the speed of the current Nvidia GPUs largely depends on the cooling and the set TGP. In view of 115 watts, HP chooses the same level here as with the RTX 3070 of the predecessor.

The difference in performance difference is thus limited. According to the synthetic graphics tests, the upgrade does not pay off, with results being mostly on par with the old Omen 16. The RTX 3070 Ti laptops we have tested so far have been slightly faster on average.

Gaming Performance

The situation is similar for gaming performance, with the new Omen 16 hardly standing out from its predecessor. Basically, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is fast enough to run all modern games smoothly at the native resolution of 2,560x1,440 at high to maximum details. However, in the case of very demanding titles like Dying Light 2 and/or - if supported - activated ray tracing, the laptop may struggle.

Emissions

Noise

While the Omen 16 is not extremely loud in balanced mode, the fans do really get to work in power mode. Even without load, the 16-incher is slightly to somewhat audible (30 to 33 dB). 3D applications quickly push the background noise into very acute to annoyingly loud regions. 49 to 57 dB(A) is not only louder than the predecessor, but also louder than the (partly faster) competition. This raises the suspicion that HP either focused on temperatures or did not necessarily design the best cooling system in general.

Temperature

As long as you do not place the case on your lap, the temperatures do not give cause for criticism. Even under full load with the Furmark and Prime95 tools, the top side only heated up to a maximum of 41°C - a moderate value. In idle mode, the entire case remains pleasantly cool at 24 to 26°C.

Energy Management

Thanks to built-in graphics switching (a dGPU-only mode can be activated if desired), the Omen 16 operates rather economically in idle mode. 4 to 19 watts undercut the values of the competition, which sometimes consume over 20 watts. The percentage differences decrease under load. 114 to 221 watts are typical for an RTX 3070 Ti notebook.

Verdict

Omen 16-b1090ng: Review device provided by HP Germany
Omen 16-b1090ng: Review device provided by HP Germany

Even though there are hardly any improvements in GPU performance compared to its predecessor, the new Omen 16 proves once again to be a successful notebook for core gamers.

In addition to the stylish and neatly built case, positive aspects include modern connectivity (Thunderbolt 4) and a solid 165 Hz panel, on which all current games can be played smoothly in (very) high details - even at the native resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels. The snappier SSD and the faster CPU also prove to be nice upgrades.

However, strong performance comes at the cost of noise. In power mode, the Omen 16 becomes very loud, which may be a dealbreaker for many potential buyers (those who are willing to accept a little less power can simply use the Balanced profile).

Altogether, the Omen 16-b1090ng is roughly on par with the MSI GS66 Stealth 12UGS and Aorus 17 XE4. The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16 G7, on the other hand, scored slightly higher.

Price and Availability

The reviewed HP Omen 16-b1090ng can be ordered for around 2,200 Euros from some online shops (e.g. computer universe), but does not appear to be available outside Europe (excluding the UK) in the current configuration.
