Know before you buy
Yes, this monitor features HDMI 2.1, which is essential for unlocking 4K resolution at 120Hz on the latest consoles. It is a great choice if you want to take full advantage of the performance capabilities of current-gen gaming hardware.
The IPS panel offers excellent color accuracy and wide viewing angles, making it a solid choice for creative tasks. While it is marketed as a gaming monitor, the 4K resolution and color performance are more than capable for standard design and editing workflows.
The USB-C port allows you to connect a compatible laptop with a single cable to handle both video signal and power. It will charge your laptop while you use the monitor, helping you keep your desk setup clean and free of extra power bricks.
You will need to use the DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 connection to achieve the full 144Hz refresh rate at 4K resolution. Older HDMI cables or ports may limit the refresh rate, so ensure your source device supports these newer standards.
FreeSync Premium synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate with your graphics card's frame rate. This eliminates screen tearing and stuttering during fast-paced gameplay, resulting in a much smoother visual experience.
DisplayHDR 400 is an entry-level HDR certification. It provides a noticeable boost in brightness and contrast compared to standard monitors, but it won't offer the deep blacks or extreme peak brightness found in high-end, professional HDR displays.
