Know before you buy
Yes, it is well-equipped for competitive play. The 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time work together to keep motion fluid and minimize ghosting, while AMD FreeSync Premium ensures your gameplay remains smooth and free of screen tearing.
The VA panel is excellent for contrast. With a 3000:1 contrast ratio, you will get deep, rich blacks and vibrant colors, making it a great choice for immersive single-player games and cinematic experiences.
Yes, it includes integrated speakers. While they are convenient for casual use or system sounds, you may still prefer a dedicated headset or external speakers for a more immersive audio experience during gaming.
To achieve the full 165Hz refresh rate at QHD resolution, you should use the DisplayPort connection. While HDMI 2.0 is included, DisplayPort is generally the preferred standard for ensuring maximum performance on high-refresh-rate monitors.
A 31.5-inch screen is quite large, so it is best suited for a deeper desk where you can sit at a comfortable viewing distance. If you are sitting very close to the screen, you may find yourself needing to turn your head to see the edges, so ensure you have enough space to push the monitor back.
