Know before you buy
The 165Hz refresh rate updates the screen 165 times per second, which makes fast-paced motion appear significantly smoother and more fluid compared to standard 60Hz monitors. This is particularly helpful in competitive gaming where tracking moving targets is essential.

AMD FreeSync Premium synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate with your graphics card's frame rate. This eliminates screen tearing and stuttering, resulting in a seamless, tear-free image even when your frame rate fluctuates.
QHD resolution offers 2560 x 1440 pixels, providing substantially more screen real estate and sharper detail than a standard 1080p display. It strikes an excellent balance for 27-inch monitors, making textures and text look crisp without requiring the extreme hardware power of 4K.
