The HP Omen 16 has a better screen than the Dell Latitude 5330 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the Dell Latitude 5330's screen may lack the resolution and brightness that makes the viewing experience pleasant, similarly affecting the HP Omen 16, though to a lesser degree. In engineering and design, both laptops' displays might not cover enough of the color gamuts like DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB, which are critical for accuracy in color-sensitive work, with the HP Omen 16 performing better due to its superior color reproduction capabilities. The poor gaming and 3D experience on both is due to lower refresh rates which are crucial for smooth visuals, with the possible added disadvantage for the Dell Latitude 5330 if its resolution and panel type are not up to par for this demanding use case.

How the Dell Latitude 5330 and the HP Omen 16 compare to other laptops
"The Omen 16 has proven to be a fairly good mid-range gaming laptop with all-around improvements compared to the Omen 15. The high overall performance level across all use cases, the long battery life, and the good FHD display constitute the main advantages of this HP laptop. The main drawbacks are the faulty touchpad (one-off?) and the high latencies that can be observed even after just opening the browser. Furthermore, the useless, preinstalled 30-day trial versions of various software also fall under the category "unnecessary"."
