HP Omen 15t 3NS58AV_1 (2018) 15.6″ Gaming Laptop
The HP Omen 15t 3NS58AV_1 is a 15.6-inch gaming laptop model for 2018. It is a configurable model you can order via the official HP Store. If you order the laptop with basic yet still powerful specs, you can get it for less than $1,000. There’s a wide variety of Omen 15t 3NS58AV_1 configurations. What’s common in all of them is the 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8750H six-core processor. That’s one of the fastest processors for laptops ever, so it is suitable for gaming and all other hardware-demanding PC tasks. For gaming, however, the most important part is the graphics processor. The HP Omen 15t 3NS58AV_1 provides multiple Nvidia GeForce mid-range to higher-end graphics card choices – the GeForce GTX 1050 with 2 or 4 Gigabytes of video memory, the GTX 1050 Ti 4GB, GTX 1060 3GB or 6GB, or the GTX 1070 (Max-Q) 8GB. These GPUs power the notebook’s 15.6″ wide viewing angle anti-glare screen screen with either Full HD or Ultra HD resolution. The FHD screen is optionally available with 144 Hz refresh rate for smoother gaming. Another smoothness-related feature is Nvidia G-Sync technology, which is also optional.
RAM size of the Omen 15t 3NS58AV_1 is up to 32 Gigabytes. Data storage device choices are generous, too. The most basic one is a 1 Terabyte mechanical hard drive combined with 16GB of Optane memory for storage speed boost. Other options are combinations of a 1TB or 2TB hard drive and a fast solid state drive storage with capacity ranging from 128GB to 512GB.
As same as other gaming laptops, the Omen 15t has keyboard backlight.
The 5.3-pound notebook packs a capacious 70 WHr battery and provides Thunderbolt 3.0 technology as a stand-out feature.

Hi, this is the best review of the display (Full HD variant) on this model I was able to find: https://www.notebookcheck.net/HP-Omen-15-i5-8300H-GTX-1050-Ti-FHD-Laptop-Review.318520.0.html
In short, they found the display is “dull and pale” with weak color space coverage. Also, brightness is quite weak. On the positive side, the panel has a good contrast ratio.
So overall, this is not a good screen when it comes to professional photo / image editing, and also not so good for videos. But, it is definitely much better than the budget-class narrow viewing angle TN panels you can still find in many (cheaper) notebooks today.
