Description

Deep contrast for dark scenes

Contrast is where a VA panel shines: 4000:1 means black is noticeably deeper than on a typical IPS screen, which often sits around 1000:1. In horror games, night races and films, details emerge from the shadows that would otherwise sink into a greyish haze. 180 Hz and 0.5 ms keep motion smooth and sharp, and the anti-glare surface works for gaming by day or in the evening.

Who this gaming monitor is for

Players who mix fast online matches with atmospheric single-player games and value deep blacks; film fans who watch in a dark room; and anyone who wants high frame rates at Full HD without an expensive graphics card. There are no speakers, so sound goes through the audio output to headphones or speakers. With the stand it measures 61.15 × 44.48 × 19.76 cm.

Questions & answers

How does a VA panel differ from IPS?

VA offers higher contrast and deeper blacks, here 4000:1. IPS usually has the edge in keeping colours even at an angle. In games and films, the VA contrast is clearly visible.

Does the monitor have speakers?

No, there are no built-in speakers. An audio output lets you connect headphones or powered speakers.

Can the monitor be wall-mounted?

Yes, it has VESA 100 × 100 mm mounting. The stand only tilts, so an arm also adds height adjustment.
