5.3 Key Features and Settings
- 180Hz Refresh Rate: For smooth motion, ensure your graphics card settings are configured to output 180Hz. This is best achieved via DisplayPort.
- 1ms (GTG) Response Time: This setting minimizes motion blur and ghosting, crucial for fast-paced gaming.
- Adaptive Sync (FreeSync & G-Sync Compatible): Enable FreeSync in the monitor's OSD menu and ensure your graphics card drivers are up to date and FreeSync/G-Sync is enabled in your GPU control panel. This synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate with your GPU's frame rate to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering.
