Key Features

QD-OLED Display Technology

A QD-OLED panel is used to combine the deep blacks of OLED with enhanced color brightness from quantum dots. Higher contrast levels and more vibrant colors are produced, making games, movies, and creative content appear more lifelike.

280Hz Ultra-Fast Refresh Rate

A refresh rate of 280Hz is supported to ensure extremely smooth motion rendering. Competitive players benefit from faster frame updates, which help reduce motion blur and provide quicker visual feedback during fast gameplay.

0.03ms Response Time

A 0.03ms GTG response time allows pixels to transition almost instantly. Motion ghosting is minimized, which is particularly beneficial in fast-paced esports titles and action-heavy scenes.

DisplayHDR True Black 400

VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification ensures deeper blacks, improved dynamic range, and enhanced detail in dark scenes. HDR content appears more realistic with better contrast between highlights and shadows.

Adaptive Sync Technologies

Both NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technologies are supported. Screen tearing and stuttering are reduced by dynamically matching the monitor refresh rate with the GPU output.

Console-Ready Gaming

Dedicated Console Mode supports PS5 and Xbox Variable Refresh Rate (VRR). Smooth performance at 1080p and 1440p at up to 120Hz is enabled, ensuring optimized gameplay when connected to modern gaming consoles.

Versatile Connectivity

A wide range of ports is provided, including HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a, and USB-C with 15W power delivery. These connections allow PCs, laptops, and gaming consoles to be connected with high bandwidth support for WQHD at up to 280Hz.
