Description

240 Hz and ELMB Sync keep targets sharp

The Fast IPS panel refreshes the image up to 240 times per second with a response time as low as 0.3 ms, so opponents stay clear even during sharp turns. ELMB Sync works together with variable refresh rate, removing motion blur and tearing at the same time. FreeSync Premium and G-SYNC Compatible cover both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. HDR10 support and 99% sRGB coverage give games and films natural colours.

Who this gaming monitor is for

Players who mostly play fast shooters and value a high frame rate over a high resolution: Full HD puts less load on the graphics card, so 240 frames per second is easier to reach. Two HDMI ports let you keep a PC and a games console connected at the same time. The adjustable stand helps set the screen at the right height, and DisplayWidget Center lets you change settings with the mouse.
