Know before you buy
The Fast IPS panel provides the best of both worlds: it offers the vivid color accuracy and wide viewing angles typical of IPS technology, while achieving the high-speed response times usually reserved for TN panels. This makes it ideal for competitive gaming where both visual clarity and motion performance are critical.
The built-in Reflex Latency Analyzer measures the time between your mouse click and the corresponding action appearing on the screen. By connecting your mouse to the monitor's dedicated USB port, you can track system latency in real-time to ensure your setup is optimized for the lowest possible input lag.
Yes, to fully utilize the 240Hz refresh rate, your PC needs to be capable of outputting 240 frames per second in the games you play. While the monitor will still function with lower frame rates, you will only experience the ultra-smooth motion benefits when your hardware can sustain that high frame rate.
While the DCI-P3 color gamut and DisplayHDR 400 certification offer excellent color reproduction for gaming and media consumption, this monitor is primarily tuned for gaming performance. It is a great choice for content creators who also game, but professional-grade color grading may require a dedicated studio monitor.
Yes, the included stand is fully ergonomic and allows for height adjustment, tilt, and swivel. This ensures you can position the screen at the optimal eye level for long gaming sessions.
The PG279QM features hardware-based NVIDIA G-SYNC, which is specifically designed for NVIDIA GPUs. While you may be able to use it with other graphics cards, the full range of G-SYNC features and the Reflex Latency Analyzer are optimized for and exclusive to NVIDIA hardware.
