Know before you buy
This monitor features a unique dual-mode capability that lets you toggle between 4K resolution at 160Hz for immersive single-player games and 1080p resolution at 320Hz for competitive esports titles. You can switch between these two modes instantly using a dedicated hotkey, allowing you to prioritize either visual fidelity or frame rate depending on the game you are playing.
Yes, it supports both NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync. This ensures tear-free, smooth gameplay regardless of whether you are using an NVIDIA GeForce or an AMD Radeon graphics card.
The USB Type-C port offers a streamlined setup by allowing you to connect compatible devices for display signal, data transfer, and power delivery through a single cable. It helps reduce desk clutter and makes it easier to connect laptops or other peripherals directly to the monitor.
Yes, the 1ms response time is consistent across both the 4K and 1080p modes. This ensures that you get clear, blur-free motion regardless of which resolution or refresh rate setting you choose.
ELMB SYNC stands for Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync. It allows you to enable motion blur reduction technology simultaneously with adaptive sync, giving you the best of both worlds: a tear-free image and reduced ghosting for sharper visuals during fast-paced action.
The monitor includes a tilt-adjustable stand, allowing you to angle the screen for a more comfortable viewing position. However, it does not offer height, swivel, or pivot adjustments, so you may want to consider a third-party VESA mount if you need more ergonomic flexibility.
