Description

Full HD and 260 Hz without overloading the GPU

At Full HD even a mid-range graphics card finds it easier to push frame rates high enough for the 260 Hz refresh rate to make a real difference. The Fast IPS panel with 1 ms response time keeps fast motion clear and colours even when viewed from the side. The matte surface reduces reflections, so lamps and windows do not get in the way whether you play in the evening or during the day.

Who this gaming monitor is for

Players who value smoothness and high frame rates over resolution, and anyone with a light-coloured gaming desk, since the white housing matches white peripherals. The screen can be raised, tilted, swivelled and rotated to portrait, which is handy for a chat window or a long web page. Two HDMI inputs let you connect a PC and a console at the same time.

Questions & answers

Is Full HD sharp enough on a 27-inch screen?

At 27 inches Full HD has a lower pixel density than QHD, so small text looks a little softer. In games that is an advantage: the graphics card reaches higher frame rates and makes better use of 260 Hz.

Does the monitor have speakers?

No, there are no built-in speakers. You will need headphones or separate speakers.

Can I use it with a game console?

Yes, a console connects to either of the two HDMI inputs. The manufacturer does not specify which refresh rate HDMI supports.
