This flexibility allows gamers to switch between modes according to their preferences, making it an ideal display for both immersive and competitive gaming.


The monitor uses a fast 27-inch IPS panel with a low response time of 1ms GtG and 0.5ms Smart MBR for smoother transitions.

The monitor offers a wide color gamut, including 90% Adobe RGB, 130% sRGB, and 95% DCI-P3, enhancing the vibrancy of images.

It excels not only in color reproduction but also in accuracy with a Delta E < 2 in sRGB mode. The monitor comes equipped with AI-enhanced Ambiglow technology, which syncs content colors with LED lighting behind the display, making for an immersive viewing experience. Additionally, it includes built-in stereo speakers rated at 5W (5W x2). The connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB PD Type-C port with Alt DP mode. There is also a dedicated USB hub with USB 3.2, USB-B, and two USB-A downstream ports. The monitor features an ergonomic stand that offers height adjustment up to 130mm, pivot, swivel, and tilt.
