• Response Time (1ms GTG): The 1ms Gray-to-Gray (GTG) response time minimizes motion blur and ghosting. This setting is typically enabled by default or can be adjusted in the OSD menu under 'Overdrive' or 'Response Time' settings.
• Adaptive Sync: This technology synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate with your graphics card's frame rate, eliminating screen tearing and stuttering. Enable Adaptive Sync in the OSD menu and ensure it is also enabled in your graphics card's control panel.
