CES 2025 is already brimming with innovative gaming monitors, and HP’s Omen 32x Smart Gaming Monitor stands out as a highlight.

With its first-ever integration of Google TV, this 31.5-inch gaming display aims to be more than just a screen — it’s a comprehensive hub for gaming, entertainment, and productivity, not unlike the freshly announced Samsung M9 Smart Monitor.

HP’s partnership with Google delivers a smart TV experience via the Google TV OS, allowing users to browse apps and stream content from their favorite platforms. Another notable feature is the ability to mirror your Android smartphone directly to the monitor, and with multi-view support, you can use the mirrored smartphone side by side with your primary source.

Additionally, the same keyboard and mouse can be shared between the two sources. Expanding on the Android screen mirroring feature, the Omen 32x will also offer built-in support for Android desktop mode, enhancing productivity without having to jump between screens.

That’s not all. The most unique feature of this monitor is the ability to directly stream your gameplay to platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and Instagram. The company doesn’t explain exactly how this feature works, but the monitor will let users stream to up to four platforms simultaneously, without any external hardware or software, thereby reducing the load on your CPU and GPU. Additionally, one can hook up to two webcams with the monitor to enable a multi-cam setup.

At its core, the Omen 32x is every bit a gaming monitor. It features a 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS panel with a 16:9 aspect ratio, a 144Hz refresh rate, and an ultra-low 1ms GtG response time (with overdrive). The monitor also offers Nvidia G-Sync compatibility and supports AMD FreeSync Premium, and VESA Adaptive Sync technologies, eliminating screen tearing and stuttering.

For visual excellence, the display delivers 95% DCI-P3 and 99% sRGB color gamut coverage, ensuring accurate and vibrant colors. Dolby Vision and VESA DisplayHDR 400 support enhance contrast and dynamic range, making the Omen 32x ideal for gaming, multimedia consumption, and creative tasks. While it may not match the performance of the latest QD-OLED displays, the monitor should provide great value for most users seeking immersive visuals.

The Omen 32x also offers a wide range of connectivity options, including DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.1 ports, USB Type-C with 65W Power Delivery, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, RJ-45 Ethernet, and a 3.5mm audio jack. For ergonomics, the monitor stand features height adjustability, tilt, and swivel for ergonomic comfort, while the built-in quad 3W speakers should provide adequate sound for casual use.

Stop fighting with your roomie over outlets and get one of these multi-port chargers before you head back to school
One plug, zero drama, all your devices charged by morning.
Satechi ChargeView

Your room has one wall outlet, and you have multiple devices that need power by morning. Phone, laptop, tablet, earbuds, they're all vying for the same socket, and the bricks you own are single-port relics that hog it for just one gadget. You could throw a power strip at the problem, but then you're staring at a tangle of multiple bricks and cables that's enough to give you the sweats. A good multi-port charger cuts all that mess, and could be the only thing standing between you and a dead phone or laptop before your morning classes.

Back-to-school season is a smart time to buy one. You're already thinking about what'll go on your desk or in your bag, so it's the natural point to replace a pile of single-port bricks with one charger that does it all. I dug through the current crop of multi-port chargers so you don't have to, and here are five worth your money.

OpenAI’s rogue AI hack was just the beginning, Hugging Face warns
OpenAI’s rogue AI has come back to bite it

Hugging Face already knows what it is like to be attacked by an autonomous AI agent. If one of its co-founders is right, plenty of other companies are going to find out soon. Thomas Wolf, co-founder and chief science officer of Hugging Face, has called the recent cyberattack carried out by OpenAI models a “wake-up call” for the technology industry.

Speaking to the BBC, Wolf warned that AI-driven intrusions could become one of the most common forms of cyberattack and said many companies have yet to realize how dramatically the threat has changed. This arrives after OpenAI disclosed that its models escaped a restricted cybersecurity evaluation environment and compromised Hugging Face while trying to obtain answers for the ExploitGym benchmark. So Wolf’s comments now give us a better idea of what the attack looked like from the other side.
