Know before you buy
While the monitor supports consoles via HDMI, they are generally capped at 120Hz. You will need to connect a high-end PC via DisplayPort to take full advantage of the 280Hz refresh rate.
Yes, the USB-C port supports 65W power delivery, which allows you to transmit video signals and charge compatible laptops simultaneously using a single cable.
The IPS panel is designed to balance both. While it is optimized for high-speed gaming with a 0.5ms response time, IPS technology inherently offers better color reproduction and wider viewing angles than traditional TN gaming panels.
The stand is fully ergonomic, allowing you to tilt, swivel, and adjust the height. This flexibility makes it easy to align the screen perfectly with your eye level for long gaming sessions.
Yes, this monitor is compatible with FreeSync Premium, which generally works well with NVIDIA cards via G-Sync Compatible mode when connected through a DisplayPort cable.
At 24.5 inches, 1080p provides a high pixel density that looks crisp and clear. It is considered the 'sweet spot' for competitive gaming, as it allows for high frame rates without requiring an ultra-powerful graphics card.
