Description

Quantum Dot and 200 Hz for a lively picture

The Quantum Dot layer widens the colour gamut to 99% DCI-P3, so games and films look more saturated than on a typical sRGB screen, and DisplayHDR 400 adds contrast to bright scenes. A 200 Hz refresh rate, which can be overclocked to 210 Hz, and a 1 ms response time keep motion smooth. FreeSync Premium removes tearing and stutter even when the frame rate fluctuates.

Who this gaming monitor is for

People who have a work laptop and a gaming PC on the same desk. The KVM function lets one keyboard and mouse switch between both devices, while USB-C carries the laptop image and supplies it with up to 18 W of power. The fully adjustable stand works for a workday and a gaming evening alike, and headphones plug straight into the monitor's 3.5 mm jack. There are no speakers.

Questions & answers

How does the KVM function work?

The keyboard and mouse plug into the monitor's USB ports, and the monitor routes them to whichever computer is currently on screen. That way you do not need separate accessories for the second computer.

Can I charge a laptop over USB-C?

According to the manufacturer, USB-C supplies up to 18 W. That is enough for small devices, but most laptops will still need their own charger.

Does the monitor have speakers?

No, this model has no speakers; a 3.5 mm headphone jack handles audio.
