Know before you buy
The 1000R curvature is designed to match the natural curve of the human eye. This fills your peripheral vision more effectively than a flat screen, which helps reduce eye strain and makes expansive open-world games feel more immersive.
This monitor features an HDMI input, making it compatible with most modern gaming PCs and consoles. However, ensure your hardware supports WQHD resolution and high refresh rates to take full advantage of the 165Hz performance.
AMD FreeSync Premium synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate with your graphics card's frame rate. This eliminates screen tearing and stuttering, resulting in much smoother motion during fast-paced action sequences.
Yes, the VA panel on this monitor is optimized for gaming with a 1ms response time, which minimizes motion blur. While VA panels are known for deep contrast and rich blacks, this specific model is tuned to keep up with the speed required for competitive play.
Refurbished units have been inspected and tested to ensure they meet performance standards. They offer a cost-effective way to access high-end features like the 34-inch ultrawide display while maintaining the same functionality as a new unit.
The monitor weighs 19 pounds and features a 21:9 aspect ratio, which is significantly wider than standard monitors. You should ensure your desk is deep enough to accommodate the stand and wide enough to handle the expansive 34-inch footprint.
