Know before you buy
The 240Hz refresh rate is primarily designed for PC gaming to provide ultra-smooth motion. While you can connect a console, most current consoles are capped at 60Hz or 120Hz, so you will not be able to utilize the full 240Hz capacity on those platforms.
Yes, the XG2405 features AMD FreeSync technology. This helps synchronize the monitor's refresh rate with your graphics card to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering during fast-paced gameplay.
While the 350 Nit brightness and vibrant colors are great for gaming, this monitor is optimized for speed rather than color-critical creative work. If your primary focus is professional color grading, you may want to look for a monitor with a wider color gamut coverage.
Yes, it includes built-in speakers for basic audio output. However, they are best suited for casual use; for a truly immersive gaming experience, we recommend using a dedicated headset or external speakers.
The anti-glare coating is quite effective at diffusing reflections from overhead lights or windows. Combined with the 350 Nit brightness, it maintains good visibility even in well-lit environments.
The monitor measures 21.3 inches wide and 9.4 inches deep including the stand. Ensure you have at least 10 inches of depth on your desk to accommodate the base comfortably.
