- 2K QHD Resolution & 180Hz Refresh Rate: Experience detailed visuals and smooth motion. Ensure your graphics card and connection cable support these specifications.
The 180 Hz refresh rate ensures fluid and uninterrupted images, even during fast-paced action. The rapid 1 ms GTG response time reduces ghosting and motion blur.
- 1ms GTG Response Time: Minimizes motion blur and ghosting for competitive gaming.
- FreeSync Premium: Synchronizes the display's refresh rate with your GPU, effectively reducing screen tearing and stuttering in dynamic scenes.
FreeSync technology maintains synchronization between the GPU and the display's refresh rate, reducing tearing and stuttering for stable and fluid performance.
- HDR 1000 & Mini LED Local Dimming: Certified VESA DisplayHDR 1000 with 1152 local dimming zones for precise brightness control, deep blacks, and bright highlights, offering vibrant and realistic images. Peak brightness reaches 2000 nits.
Mini LED technology with 1152 dimming zones allows for pixel-level brightness control, eliminating halos in dark scenes while preserving clarity. Four brightness control modes are available: High, Medium, Low, and Off.
The extended color gamut (99% DCI-P3, 99% Adobe RGB, and 100% sRGB) reproduces images with great sharpness, rendering rich and realistic scenes.
- Gaming Interface Optimization: Features like a customizable crosshair function and dark area enhancement provide a competitive edge.
The crosshair function allows switching between a subtle reticle for precise shots or a larger one for close-quarters combat. Dark area enhancement instantly brightens hidden zones in shadows, providing a decisive advantage.
- TÜV Low Blue Light Certification: Reduces harmful blue light emissions for a comfortable viewing experience, especially during long gaming sessions.
When the low blue light mode is activated, the monitor filters short-wave blue light for a comfortable and pleasant visual experience.
