In 4K mode the pixel density on a 27-inch screen is high: text and photos look very sharp and plenty of windows fit on the desktop. When a competitive match starts, a hotkey switches the monitor to Full HD, where the refresh rate climbs to 310 Hz and the graphics card can push far more frames. ELMB and Variable Overdrive reduce motion blur, while FreeSync and G-SYNC Compatible keep the image free of tearing.
Anyone who wants one screen for sharp office work, photo editing and films as well as fast games, without having to choose between 4K and a high refresh rate. The fully adjustable stand with pivot makes long sessions more comfortable, and two HDMI ports let you keep both a PC and a console connected. The monitor weighs 6.5 kg with the stand.
