Know before you buy
Yes, the 24.5-inch size is widely considered the sweet spot for competitive esports. It allows you to see the entire screen within your field of vision without needing to move your head, helping you react faster to in-game events.
Yes, the integrated USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, allowing you to connect compatible laptops for both video signal and data transfer through a single cable.
G-SYNC eliminates screen tearing by syncing the monitor's refresh rate with your GPU, while ELMB SYNC is a backlight strobing technology that reduces motion blur. This monitor allows you to use both simultaneously to achieve both tear-free and blur-free visuals.
The Fast IPS panel offers excellent color reproduction and wide viewing angles, making it suitable for casual photo editing or content creation. However, because it is optimized for high-speed gaming, it may not match the color precision of professional-grade monitors designed specifically for color-critical design work.
To fully utilize the 180Hz refresh rate, your graphics card must be capable of outputting 180 frames per second in the games you play. If your hardware cannot reach that frame rate, the G-SYNC compatibility will still ensure your gameplay remains smooth and free of tearing.
