When overclocked, the panel reaches 260 Hz and the response time drops to as little as 0.3 ms, so fast motion stays clear and the image follows the mouse without lag. ELMB Sync reduces motion blur even with variable refresh rate switched on. FreeSync Premium and G-SYNC Compatible remove tearing with both AMD and NVIDIA cards, and the shadow control setting helps you spot opponents in dark corners.
Players who want a fast 27-inch screen and do not need height adjustment: the stand only tilts, so the monitor suits a desk where the height is already right, or a monitor arm via the VESA mount. Two HDMI 2.1 ports let you connect a games console alongside the PC. At 4.56 kg with the stand, the monitor is easy to lift and move around.
