Know before you buy
The Dual Mode allows you to toggle between two distinct performance profiles: a high-resolution QHD mode at 540Hz for visual fidelity, or an FHD mode at 720Hz for maximum frame rates. This flexibility lets you prioritize either resolution or raw speed depending on the specific game you are playing.
Yes, the 0.02ms response time is exceptionally fast and virtually eliminates motion blur and ghosting. This makes it an ideal choice for competitive fast-paced shooters where tracking moving targets clearly is essential.
While the OLED panel offers incredible contrast and deep blacks, it features a matte anti-glare coating to help manage reflections. With a typical brightness of 335 nits, it is best suited for controlled lighting environments rather than direct sunlight.
To fully utilize the 540Hz refresh rate, you will need a powerful GPU capable of outputting that many frames per second and a connection via DisplayPort 2.1. The monitor is compatible with both NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro to ensure smooth, tear-free performance regardless of your card.
Yes, the monitor is compatible with standard 100 x 100mm VESA mounts. This allows you to easily replace the included ergonomic stand with a monitor arm to save desk space or achieve a specific viewing angle.
The monitor features a Delta E < 2 rating, which indicates high color accuracy out of the box. While it is designed primarily for gaming, this level of precision makes it a capable secondary display for photo or video editing tasks.
